Bocci Restaurant Bar Lounge

We went there as part of an event for a family member's birthday. It was a big thing with lots of people (over 50) in a small, cramped room. Only one single bathroom (where people lined up pretty much all night).

Evening started well with wine service, paid for by the birthday boy's wife. Bread hot from the oven, with some tasty hot pepper purée. Sadly when we ordered our food, it was not as nice.

First problem, the menu is too long. That in and of itself is not a great sign, but when you have an event with this many people and other events in the building (that we could hear very loudly might I add), then is not the time for 20 different options of mains. We should have taken it as a warning then, but we had heard some good things about the restaurant so...

Second problem, the food was not very good. Bruschetta was overly seasoned (way too salty). The octopus had too much vinaigrette. The tomato sauce with which the cannelloni were served was absurdly sweet, closer to ketchup than tomato sauce. The carbonara seemed to be made with maple-smoked bacon (instead of the pancetta listed as an ingredient on the menu) and incidentally also sweet... The chicken was dry and drenched in béchamel. The pizza and caesar salad were fine.

Third problem, the service was spotty. Servers forgot one of our drinks and our dessert. The manager came over to ask us how the food was. We told them about the tomato sauce and the carbonara. They proposed to switch the cannelloni for their manicotti with sauce rosée, and insisted on it. The manager seemed offended when we said no thanks. Later, the servers forgot one of us had ordered the table d'hôte and didn't bring the dessert from said table d'hôte. We had to remind the servers twice, servers who conveniently disappeared after serving dessert to other tables.

The best part of the meal was the bread and pepper purée, and the little dough knots with nutella they gave everyone as dessert (not to be confused with the table d'hôte).

They did end up not charging for the cannelloni, which was fair, and we managed to leave with a small doggy bag of the forgotten dessert.

Overall it felt like they didn't taste what they sent out. Price would be acceptable if the food was good. Not worth a return visit. I honestly don't remember a worse dining experience.

Staff unfriendly, very poor attitude. Food is expensive for portion size and mediocre quality. I had spaghetti noodles with a tomato sauce no meat and it was 23$… noodles were over cooked. Not coming here again.

It's been 2 years since the Office Christmas Party took place at this location. The food is excellent. I am convinced that all the next gatherings will be at this location. They also make an excellent Amaretto sour.

Just wow! Excellent dinner, finally a restaurant with fresh ingredients. And what about the hot bread served with spicy sauce, simply delicious. The service is impeccable. All that was missing was a little background music. We recommend this restaurant hands down. We will definitely go back.

I was there for a Christmas party.
The place is clean, including the men's bathroom.
The room we were in was large enough for our group.
We had to choose our main course in advance.
The full menu, starters, etc. that we were served was very varied and delicious.
Except for the squid that was too hard and my veal escalope too.
