I’ve been frequenting this establishment since they’ve opened. Always a great place for a bite to eat and a drink. Atmosphere is always top notch. Never had a bad meal!

Was far from good. Thank God for ketchup!! Ordered a cheesesteak and friend got salmon. Even the drinks were far from tasty. French fries were nicely fried though

Visited on 28Aug2025. Menu has changed and is not as good. Tail tenders sauce and breading and size now disappointing.appetizer not very good, and other items also nit as good. Hopefully they get a lot of reviews and go back to prior recipies.

Went with a large group, and the wait staff and food were excellent. We got a variety of food and it was all great. Service was attentive and the server caught an error in our order before we even mentioned it. Drinks were good too!

New chef is horrible. Can't make substitutions, way overpriced for what u get, but most of the staff is lovely.

They have removed half the food from the menu and what's left is ridiculously priced. The scallops were $38 for 5 tiny, dehydrated and there were hardly any sides or anything. The salmon was a dried piece of salmon again woth no sides. When we called we were told we were charged for the meal but they sent the side and refused to just refund us but would send the meal out. It took another 30 minutes for it to come and by then I was so disgusted I couldn't even eat it. Only go here if you want sandwiches or pizza cause everything else is awful and a waste of money. It's a shame because it used to be a good choice to order from with healthy option but not anymore.

Food was good for some and inedible for others. Wait staff was friendly. The restaurant was a bit loud but there was also loud music so our fault for not checking the website first.

Ordered delivery tonight. Honestly didn’t think pizza, wings and salad could be this bad

The food here is delicious and the service is always friendly & on point. Fun atmosphere and great bar. The new menu is full of tasty options, from the appetizers, to the pizzas and dinners - you really can't go wrong. I love to get a pizza and an order of steamers, and then dip the pizza crust in the clam broth. Can't forget the Thai tail tenders either. Whether you’re popping in to catch the game, hear some live music, or just grab a quick bite, Bocca won’t disappoint.

Fair at best. Waitress had a hard time following directions. Cocktail ordered on the rocks came out without ice. Soup came out cold. Salad ordered with dressing on the side came out “dressed” and pizza was doughy and undercooked. Very disappointing.

They lost me for life, but they don’t care. A few weeks ago I called around 9:52. They put me on hold for ~5 minutes. I hung up. Called back. They picked up and put me on hold for a couple more minutes. They took me off hold at 10:00. I asked if I could order a pizza and they said “sorry we close at 10:00”. The first time I call, just tell me “sorry kitchen is closed” no problem. Or just wasted 10 minutes of my life then curtly let me down. Downright bad business practice. Embarrassing. Hopefully I’m down the shore for 50 more years of my life and definitely won’t be back here. Awe man. Sad.
