First time at Bocca and it was a phenomenal experience. Ordered Calamari for an appetizer, Chicken Carbonara and Chicken Coconut Thai Curry for our main dishes and paired it with Asparagus then ended it off with a Cheesecake. Every dish was savory and fulfilling. Big Italian foodie so I will be returning. Highly recommend for a date night such a relaxed ambiance.
Great ambiance and really good food. We had a great time and enjoyed the view from our table (floor to ceiling windows). They have a decent wine selection and the usual domestic beers. It’s a bit pricey but the quality is great.

The service, staff,and the food are out of those world! They serve an osso Bocca that literally melts in your mouth like a super tender roast with amazing flavor. Lump crab risotto is made very. This alis a few months new on bltwy8 northeast. It is definitely an excellent place to take tour family and eat and enjoy the classy atmosphere. The doors to enter are large and really set an omnivonce
Also adult beverages are made perfect! One of the best

Atmosphere was great, for the appetizer we ordered Italian Style Artichoke Spinach Dip, I had the Arugula with chicken, we also ordered Risotto with shrimp. Great prices and the drinks weren’t bad either, I had a Holy Roman highball, Loved the vibe, decor and we’ll definitely come again.

Visited this place a while back after not going out due to the pandemic for quite some time for a lunch date with the wife. Let me begin by saying that perhaps they were having an off day, not sure. The establishment was... not great. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees during the lunch shift. We had the calamari to start with. It was dry and chewy, the breading okay though the marinara was good. I have had better from pizza spots. I had a carbonara for my dish and the wife ordered a crab risotto. The carbonara was lackluster, not much flavor to be honest but the sauce was creamy. The risotto was good, though the server said it was "Gordon Ramsey" good. I have yet to eat at a Ramsey restaurant, but I highly suspect Ramsey would have higher standards. Our glass bottle left to refill our water was broken, not sure where it happened. Worst yet the dishes brought to us for our appetizer were dirty. Literally food stuck on then so needless to say we did not use them. Also most unfortunate there is plenty of light that comes into the establishment. Normally that is a good thing. So why did I say unfortunate? Well, the glasses in the table across from us had the light shine perfectly through them which illuminated an absurd amount of finger prints all over all of them. I felt that given the prices of this establishment that little details like clean plates, silverware, and glasses would be a must. It fell far short, unfortunately. Like I said, I would like to believe they had an off day. I suspect that it was just par for the course for them, which is to say disappointing. Two stars because the risotto was good.

We absolutely loved spending our Easter dinner at Bocca Italian Kitchen! The food was amazing all around. I loved the Lobster Ravioli and my husband said it was the best Chicken Parmigiano he has ever had! Our waitress was so kind, consistently checked on us, refilled drinks, and was patient while we figured out what we were ordering. We will definitely be coming back soon! If you haven't visited, I definitely would. We don't have many places like this on our side of town yet.

We were excited to give this local business a try. My husband ordered the Panko crusted Mahi Mahi. It looked like a big fish stick and was bland and dry. I ordered the pasta Stroganoff with beef, mushrooms and spinach. It was tepid and looked like it came out of a can. The waiter was friendly but served my husbands beer with the cap still on. Very disappointing.

Wow, had such an amazing lunch. The service was awesome and the food even better. This is a must stop if you are visiting Houston. Top notch Italian cuisine. I had lobster raviolis, and the Bolognese. Both dishes were amazing.

I brought my family here with some caution based on previous reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was great and all the staff we interacted with were joyful. The bread service was so good, the bread was soft and with the right crunch on the outside. We ordered the seared Ahi tuna, the pesto chicken and pizzas for the kids. Aside from the pesto chicken being a bit tart the food was delicious. We had a glass of moscato and a peach desert, both worth it. Will be visiting again and probably picking up a few pizzas in the coming weeks.
Its a new restaurant and I can only imagine the food will improve with time. Because its a new restaurant it was not crowded at all and we enjoyed the quiet setting.
