Had dinner here on Monday for my brothers birthday! I had oysters, the salmon, pistachio cake, and an amaro flight. Everything was absolutely perfect and the service was spectacular. Surprised I haven’t been in before but looking forward to my next visit already.

I got the Della Casa and it was 10/10. The flavor and atmosphere was icing on the cake, but the service from Derly at the bar was the home run for me. For great food, this place is 100% worth a try.

Made a reservation 3 weeks in advance, when I called to add one more person to my reservation they refused and I was left scrambling to find another restaurant to eat at the night of my birthday celebration

It started with Tillman, our server. He was absolutely by far the most attentive server we have had for years. Appetizers included perfectly cooked calamari and the goat cheese with fennel sausage. Outstanding. For the main entree I had the new York strip. Superbly cooked to medium well, hot throughout. Asparagus on the side was perfectly steamed and mushroom risotto was too die for. My husband had the scallops and they did not disappoint. Thank you all, especially Tillman, for making our evening so wonderful. We will definitely be back.

The service was 5 stars. The food was okay. The flat bread was a a thin focaccia. A personal choice, a little and thinner crust would have been appreciated with the arugula, soft cheese, and lemony oil dressing. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. There was an outdoor local band performing which was well appreciated on a summer day. The pomodoro needed a little more sauce to offset the saltiness of the olives. Overall, a good dining experience.

Jinya was our server and she was exceptional. As for our meal, we will always come here for a great Italian meal.

Date night at Bocca never disappoints. My wife and I live near downtown, and it’s become one of our favorite spots. We grabbed seats at the bar last night, where Maritza proved she can shake a cocktail like nobody’s business. The carbonara is my go-to—hands down the best I’ve had this side of, well, Italy. The oysters are my favorite in Indy, always perfectly shucked, and the wine list makes me grin every time I spot my favorite Vermentino. You don’t have to be a neighbor to feel like one once you’re at Bocca!

This was one of the highlights of our trip. We sat at the bar and the ambiance was great. The bartender was super nice and the cocktails were fantastic. The scallops and risotto were out of the park, and the mushroom ragu was incredible as well. We had the oysters for an appetizer l, and they were very good, not small like some other reviewers experienced. I would have taken a picture but we ate them up too fast!

This was my first time dining here but it won't be my last. The chopped salad was so delicious & fresh. My carbonara was so good I ate every bit of it & the cocktails were perfect. It's a lovely neighborhood spot that takes reservations.

Did a to-go order. They’re proud of the food, per the prices! The Tortellacci was outstanding! Would order it over and over again. Cannot praise it enough. The kids spaghetti and meatball (yes singular) wasn’t much for the price tag. Though, our kiddo ate it up! So, I’d say it was tasty. The Creama De Pollo was ok. The bread bowl wasn’t fresh in taste. Wouldn’t order that particular thing again. To finish off the dinner, got a Tiramisu slice. It was good, but I’ve had much better. Wish I would have tried the Brown Butter Cake instead. Maybe next time. As a traveler from out of town, I’d recommend this place to others. Wonderful.

A friend and I wanted to try Bocca. We'd heard good things about it. We each had a glass of wine. Prices of wine everywhere are astronomical. It was good but not 16$ for a small pour. We each also had pasta. Excellent. Just the perfect amount. We had to ask for pane and oil. Our server was very touchy. No smiles all business and seemed to keep her distance. The patio setting is lovely. Very comfortable and I loved it. Tutti Italiani. Just wish she had more of the Italian hospitality mindset. Host and bartender were excellent. Thanks to them for making out dining a pleasure.

Amazing Italian food & wonderful service! I brought my friend here for her birthday and we both loved everything we tried. The manager made a point to come over and check in on us which we felt was so intentional and lovely. Dining inside was beautiful & cozy, and we loved everything about the atmosphere, the food and the staff's attention to detail. Will be back again soon!
