Awesome spot half way between AC and OCNJ. Delicious pizza - Regular and cauliflower crust available. Try the Brussel spouts - wow soooooooo good! We come here often and service is always friendly and fast. Food is fresh and hot. Nice atmosphere and cool vibe. Menu print is small so bring readers if you got ‘em :) parking is tough during busy times.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available - the cauliflower crust pizza is really great! Dry rub wings are great for Keto!

Bocca is really one of the best shore restaurants in NJ. Sure, it looks like a typical pub/tavern, but the quality of the food, at family friendly prices cannot be beat. Highly recommended.

Fast service & good pizza

This is one of our go-to "relaxed" dining options when we are in Ventnor. The service has always been top-notch, and we appreciate the varied menu. Finally, the prices are a little better than some other resort options.

Vegetarian options: There were a few options.

Decided to try this place after a beach day. I was not disappointed!! Everything was really good. We got the chicken tenders with Thai sweet chili sauce. Excellent...the sauce has just the right amount of spice with sweetness!

My friend and I prefer deep dish Chicago style pizza so we wanted to try the Pan-demic Pie. The server said it was like Sicilian,.made in a pan. The pizza was not deep dish..it was still a thin crust pizza so at first we were disappointed. However when we tasted it, it was delicious. We forgot all about the fact it wasn't Pan pizza. Wow! I'm a pizza snob and it's not easy to find good pizza in south jersey. This was impressive. Amazing sauce. We ordered it lightly baked so it wouldn't come out black and charred. They listened and it was baked perfectly. The crust was garlicky and so tasty. I want to come back again soon to eat it again!

Then we ordered the Bocca brownie for dessert. Something weird was that we saw they have an oreo brownie but would not let us order it as they said it's only for couples. Apparently they have a special couples meal and only those people can get that brownie. Not a very smart customer service move....restricting friends singles etc from a menu item.

However our regular brownie with vanilla ice cream was amazing. It didn't taste frozen at all. Very rich and sweet. Perfect way to end an excellent meal. I will be back again!

Not a place for a family, don’t bring kids here if you want to be seated and served Manager is arrogant! Lost out on a party of 10 because we had 4 kids with us and said “ I’m not wasting two tables on you guys” and then started clapping when we walked out! Take your business else where!

First change your fry oil. Chicken parm was closer to black then brown. Second, pasta was mushy. Stick to selling pizza and burgers.

Lousy service and food didn’t come out at one time so 1 person waited 30 mins for their food. Expected better from a restaurant of this caliber.
