    Food was excellent. Waitresses fantastic. Moderatley priced. Had the salmon - cooked perfectly and love those little crispy potatoes with the salad. They made a “custom” pasta meal for my wife who said it was perfect. Love this place!

    Arrived for our reservation and were seated promptly - Caroline filled our water glasses and we both ordered drinks - their draft selection is pretty good, had a Peroni and also a Grey Sail. Ordered an Appetizer, Baked feta with toasted Focaccia, good - but Value a bit off at $14-$16 range - just real simple and just felt not enough for the money. We ordered another round and a Bristol Pizza, have had it in the past and always enjoyed it - this night was no different, very good. Caroline was great, explained the specials, attentive and had a friendly personality. Would definitely return -

    My boyfriend and I have been here a few times and we have yet to be disappointed! Our most recent visit was on Valentine’s Day and it was another great experience. The staff are always friendly and the food is amazing! My favorite dish is the pulled pork and my boyfriend usually gets the beef brisket! Highly recommend.

    The food, the ambience, and the service is ALWAYS incredibly good. Going to Bocca is like going home - always welcoming and always warm and wonderful! If I were allowed one suggestion it would be: please ask people to refrain from talking on or engaging their cell phones while dining. There was a person near me who was dining alone. His entire time was spent watching rather loud videos. While I requested that the server ask him to lower the volume, it was disruptive nonetheless. Perhaps it’s just the way or the world…. The meal was still fabulous!

    Took my mother here during a short visit. We had such a lovely experience. From the wonderful hostess that joked with us despite a high degree of cheesiness to every single lovely person that came to our table it was a true pleasure. I got a very playful Italian white and my mother got the most sublime martini called the butterfly. Look it up or just order it. Our food was insanely delicious. We ordered: whipped ricotta, arugula salad, osso buck and the cacio e pepe. All of these meals had such delicious elements to them (just go look at the dang menu already!). Refined yet incredibly comforting. Our eyes were bigger that our stomachs, so the value from what we ordered is almost as amazing as everything tasted. Decor is fabtastic and such a lovely atmosphere. One of the cooler bars around that I’ve seen. Treat yourself to a fantastic meal here - will make your day.
