Have dined there several times while visiting relative in nearby nursing home. No matter what the selection, pasta, pizza, or special, the dinner & the service has been 5 star !! Our favorite waiter Joe, is the best in the biz ! Can't say enough about it ! It is a must visit !!!

Picked up a Chicken Parmigiana dinner. It was lukewarm on outside, ice cold on inside. How do you expect someone to eat this when you don’t have a way to warm it up. The chicken was tough (probably old).Nothing but excuses in your response Joe (as usual), the time stamp on my phone for the order and the time I picked up my husband from surgery qualifies the timeline. You need to seriously reevaluate your food, the chicken was obviously pulled out of a Tupperware container prepared likely days ago and reheated - you need Chef Ramsey asap! What a disappointment (again).

Gluten free pizza was $21. It was so small. There’s no way the crust, sauce and 2 pieces of cheese cost them anywhere near that amount. Really sad.

Unbelievable!! The spaghetti carbonara was so good I could cry. I asked for the espresso martini recipe because it was so tasty. And the calamari.....wow. Such great flavor, and not just heavy breading like calamari so many other places. I live in Orlando and have more restaurants at my fingertips than one could get through and NOTHING has compared to Bocca. Incredible flavors, great service, beautiful restaurant. Cannot wait to go back!

Probably the best experience dining experience we've ever had! Fresh, delicious, and a smiling staff. We went a couple of weeks ago while driving through on vacation and my husband still can't stop taking about the lasagna!

We love Italian food and were pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant in Cooperstown with such delicious Italian cuisine. We enjoyed the food and the service was great.
This spot was convenient to our hotel and came highly recommended. It did not disappoint! Food was plentiful, tasty and we love it!

After touring the Baseball Hall of Fame, we stopped here for dinner. Food was OK, affordable. The service started out friendly but after our food was served our waitress forgot about our table and it took a while to get drink refills, dessert or the check.

I don’t post restaurant reviews unless they are truly exceptional, and that’s the case with Bocca Osteria. You really can’t go wrong here. Every dish is consistently excellent, whether you go with a daily special or Italian favorite. What I like most about Bocca is that the food has a “homemade gourmet” quality: these dishes are expertly prepared and presented, but they’re not overdone. The tomato sauce reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking, and I can’t think of a better compliment than that. Also, don’t miss the spaghetti carbonara (my favorite), and especially the “blueberry ravioli” dessert.

The food is delicious and I love all the gluten free options. This is my favorite Italian restaurant to go to. Every time I come to NY, I must stop here. My first time, the service was fantastic. The 2nd time the service was below average. Food was consistently good both times though so I can overlook the inconsistency in service. I’m sure the waitress was just having an off day.

Visiting with a friend and decided to try Bocca for dinner. The appetizers were amazing, followed by two pizzas which were done to perfection. The server was kind and personable. Overall an excellent experience.
