What a great evening! Food, service and ambience was super!We made a reservation 24 hours earlier and enjoyed a cozy corner tale with a view of the street.Service by Erica was outstanding—good recommendations, attentive but never in a rush to have us leave.The food was beyond our expectations. Seafood pasta was one of the best I have ever had!This is a team that goes the extra mile to make their dishes sing! And the hot plates/soup bowls enhance the entire eating experience.Look forward to returning! Thank you for giving us a wonderful time.

4.5☆ Had a really good dinner here, vibes were good, food was good, very funny waitress. My only complaint is your cheesy garlic bread is pretty disappointing for 6$. one tiny piece of bread with cheese and garlic on it, for 6$, didn't seem to right to me. Otherwise

I had my birthday celebration here at La Bocca and what a special night we had. The staff were exceptions and really went out of their way to make out night one we will never forget! The food was delicious too!

Mediocre food and horrible service. I've tried a lot of places in whistler and this place had the worst food and service. For $25 i expect a pizza that isn't rock hard to bite into. I've had better pizza at domino's for a fourth of the price.Also our server Ciara M. came off super stand offish. She didn't look like she wanted to serve us. And she argued about the wine I was ordering.I came with a large group of friends which means tip is automatically included and I think that was taken for granted. Just cause tip is included for larger groups doesn't mean you can provide mediocre service.

The Pasta Carbonara meal was so tiny that I couldn't believe they charge $30 for it. And it wasn't any special, just boiled pasta with cheap cheese.

The service is extremely poor. I was ready to place our order, but the waitress basically pretended she didn’t see us and made us wait for 10 minutes. I asked for medium rare, but it came out well done. The orders came out super slow, and the shortage of waitresses made the service extremely slow.?It was an awful experience and I’m definitely not gonna visit this restaurant anymore.

Aye so I make an annual pilgrimage out here to Whistler to show y'all how to run the slopes and I'll be straight up I NEVER wanted to try Bocca out because it has some of the most booty reviews in Whistler. But then I saw a pack of Karen's howling down the slopes and figured thats probably the average fare of people reviewing y'all. After second look - I was right - so I decided to give you a try. I don't know why y'all have such a harsh review ratio because this place keeps it trill af. I highly recommend. 5 stars.

La Bocca saved Christmas Eve... dinner! They where able to fit our part of 7, 5 adults 2 kids, in on Christmas eve just hours before dinner. Our normal place lost our reservation and we where frantically looking for a new place for Christmas eve dinner and La Bocca saved the day. We had a wonderful time!The staff was fantastic! The food and drinks are top notch! We also asked for some substitutions and they where very accommodating. All of us said that we'd love to go back again!Thank you so much La Bocca for a wonderful evening! We can't wait to visit again soon!

Booked in for a later 7:45 dinner for a group of 7 adults to celebrate a birthday, which was indicated on the reservation. From the start our table was not ready for us, this can be understood on a Saturday night (Dec 16th 2023) After a 10 minute wait outside we were seated at a tucked away table just behind the corner from the hostess and given the customary water and menus. No problem with the location. One person was missing a water so when our waitress appeared we simply asked for it, again no problem. But when you have to remind and ask 3 times , it is. We put in our drink orders, not all at once, since some had not decided. She asked if this was all together for charging purposes and we said no. She then commented that she can figure that out later. We were a lively bunch, but not overly. Finally all drinks came and we ordered dinner. Still going okay, although the waitress seemed "off" somehow.Dinner arrived, was delicious for the most part, although the Winter Menu snowcrab spaghetti with chilli infused oil had way too much chilli in it and it overpowered the dish and left mouths burning. Drinks were overpriced as well as the food for the portion size. Limoncello was ordered by 3 of the dinners for a birthday shot. It was served warm in non chilled shot glasses (I believe it was $17 per shot) As an "Italian" restaurant you should know how to serve this properly, it shoul be ice cold. The real concerning issue arouse when we asked for our bills at 9pm as we had plans for 9:45 close by. The waitress came back and forth several times confused. Some of the group tried to lighten the mood with some jokes. The waitress asked so many times who was with who etc...then to clarify what drinks each of us had...she looked like she had been crying and was flustered then disappeared for good.and a male waiter appeared with no explanation to sort out the bill. Keep in mind, it was 3 couples and 1 single so 4 bills. This new waiter could not get it right either with printing the bills 3 to 4 times before they were sorted. This took 40 minutes. At no point was an explanation given, apologies or.even a comp or manager coming over. 2 of the couples still ended up with 2 separate bills each. It was completely ridiculous and the atmosphere was like we had done something wrong, which we had not. We asked if she was okay and the waiter said "she's having some type of mental breakdown" and he had never seen anything like it before. Thr poor girl. We dont know her circumstances but where was her manager to oversee the staff and patrons? She should have been pulled and replaced. When we finally gathered our coats to leave (some of us were outside already) the manager finally came over to.say "so I'm.the manager if you want to speak to me". How unpleasant and unprofessional. We had to go as we had other plans for 945 and did not have time for a conversation anymore after 40 minutes of this unacceptable service. We didn't tip at all as it was so awkward and ridiculous! We hope the waitress is okay but the service was truly terrible and really put a damper on the birthday dinner. None of us 7 would ever eat there again! So disappointed
