I had dinner at Aboca’s Italian Grill, and I was really impressed! The place has such a warm, cozy vibe, perfect for a relaxed night out. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home.

The Abocas Pasta with Shrimp was the real star of the show. It came packed with artichokes, mushrooms, and capers, giving the dish a nice mix of flavors and textures. The shrimp were fresh and cooked just right, adding a nice, savory touch to the creamy, well-seasoned sauce. Honestly, it was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a while!

If you’re into Italian food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I’m already looking forward to going back!

Aboca's Italian Grill provides a pleasant Italian dining experience. The Veal Parmesan is well-prepared with just the right balance of marinara and cheese. The wine selection is broad and priced well, making it easy to enjoy a glass or two. The service is very good, and the ambiance is warm and homely, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal.

A family favorite for sure!! Best garlic olive oil dip for bread around town. Can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes.

We've visited this restaurant a few times, and it really depends on what type of Italian food you're after. The seating is fine but can get a bit uncomfortable after about 20-30 minutes. The complimentary bread and herbs are nice, though. Just a heads up, they don’t offer free refills on sodas, so you’ll be paying per can. While we prefer the herbs and oil at Carrabba’s, the garlic here is flavorful.

For appetizers, we tried the Bruschetta, which wasn’t quite traditional but still tasted alright. The Fried Mozzarella, however, was a bit disappointing—it lacked seasoning and, unfortunately, reminded us of something like Chicken Express cheese sticks. The house salad is okay, though not remarkable, and we didn’t enjoy the Caesar salad—the dressing was a little overpowering and didn’t quite hit the mark for us.

Where this place truly excels, though, is with the entrees! The Chicken Carbonara is delicious, and the Chicken Aboca is also quite good. The Cannelloni is absolutely amazing—it’s easily the standout dish here. The fresh veggies that come with it are also very tasty. Overall, it’s worth a visit for the entrees alone!

We love this family neighborhood restaurant. We had our friends join us recently who are Italian and impressing them with the pastas is hard to do. They raved n definitely will be back. We also had our son’s high school graduation party with over 80 guests and they did a fabulous job. Jason and Vanessa were wonderful to work with and the service was fantastic. We had Ray and a few other servers (so sorry to not remember their names) who all fabulous. Our guests were able to choose from four entrées and wines to pair with their choices. We would definitely choose Abocas for another gala event. Many thanks to the staff!!!

We recently hosted a private event for 100 people. Leading up to the event, our event coordinator Vanessa was fantastic to work with. She helped answer all our questions and made planning the event easy. The night of the event, we were thrilled with the manager and staff who helped make the event go smoothly. The servers were so kind and accommodating. The food was incredible for such a large quantity. The Italian White Cake was amazing! I can also highly recommend the lasagna. (Just like my mom used to make, but better!) Would definitely host an event here again and will be back to eat with my family!

Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids! Staff is kid-friendly.

This is the PERFECT Italian restaurant. You may pass by it on the feeder but take the first entrance and backtrack in the parking lot parallel to the feeder.

Extremely friendly staff, wonderful bread, great selection, reasonable prices ($40 for 2 with one wine), tasty meals (we had pizza and eggplant parm). Wonderful atmosphere and not a loud music environment. Highly recommended.
