Bocca Italian Kitchen

The place we come to when we're in the mood for something fancy.Normally we come on a Friday, sit at the bar and chill. They can create custom drinks, I ordered a Tom Collins. Sometimes they have stouts which my bf enjoys. The bartenders are all very nice and accommodating.Tips to new comers, order your appetizer and wait for it to arrive or after awhile before ordering your main course. Food does take awhile to arrive so don't come too hungry.We love the risotto and pizza, you can't go wrong with either. They also have a caffe that also serves breakfast at set hours. I believe there's also a happy hour before 6 , with great appetizers to try.

Boccoa is a quaint little establishment on the East Side. It was a total Vibe....to be honest (just needed music). I was introduced to this spot by a co-worker because she knows I like fancy food. That said, I look forward to my next venture and deep dive into some of their other Italian delicacies listed. Limited menu but that is what makes this spot so intriguing. Customer service was spot on. The manager/Chef was a statuesque hospitable Teddy Bear (appreciate the extra jam Man!). I highly recommend you all stop by because there is no GOOD eateries/restaurants on the East Side....and none with panache like this place. Trust me...Boccoa is a diamond in the ruff or is it bluff? Either way, stop by!Ohhhh, concerning the cheese board. That is NOT an Egg. It's house made fresh mozzarella with Extra Virgin Olive Oil on top. The Bomb!

What a lovely experience!The restaurant is open with indoor/cozy outdoor seatingFull barPresentation of food was great I enjoyed salmon...delicious!Hubby loved his snapperThe Brussel sprouts were crunchy, yum!Friends had pizza, so good!There are vegetarian options and diabetic choicesService was excellent!!So accommodating!Most definitely will returnOh, and I love the area (Redemption Square)

Great fresh food and the service is amazing! Date night vibe spot with a nice happy hour special

Unexpected GREATNESS!!! Literally Yelped somewhere to meet friends for dinner and found Bocca and so glad I did! The appetizers were delicious and the entire meal was off the charts...the best Osso Bucco I have ever had! The servers were super knowledgeable and helpful! Loved the decor, upscale and chic! DO NOT miss this treasure!

Lots of space and very bright/ inviting. I visited during their weekday lunch and was happy with the variety of lunch items that were available. Their lunch sized portions were pretty good. Everything tasted great and our server took good care of us!

Alrighty, sooo this place is a beautiful spot to hang. Big TV's, a bar with limited alcohol, and comfortable chairs. The menu doesn't offer much, just a few over priced Italian dishes, more over priced appetizers, and "specials" that are more expensive than regular small menu. The bar tenders rush you to drink, order, and leave. The chicken was over cooked, noodles a sticky consistency bc there was not enough sauce in it the pasta. Pizza tasted like it should have been $5 outside a club in Downtown Houston. Definitely do not spend money on pizza unless it's 80% off! If you're a foodie don't go here, options are limited and food isn't great at all. They need to revamp the menu 100%! This pic a my soggy pizza right after we received it at the table, and my $10 salad with nothing but Lettuce and croutons.

Stopped in as I have many times for a glass of wine with my best friend. We prefer to sit at the bar, so good bar staff is super important to us. While we have had many lovely experiences there, Loriah is a stand out. Friendly, appropriately attentive, and knowledgeable. It's clear she takes pride in the establishment and what she contributes. We will be back to visit her.

I like this place, the trendy decor, the cocktail menu and the good collection of wine and spirits.The menu has a little bit for everyone and a great number of the heavy apps are available for happy hour. I just wish it was closer to me and I'd visit at least once a week.

Today we went to the Mother's Day buffet. The food was honestly the worst meal I have ever had. The breakfast buffet at the airport Holiday Inn would have been ten times better. The eggs were rubbery. The choices were scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties and cubed potatoes. They had a Cesar salad or house salad which were just sitting out in a bowl. And for kids- they had chicken tenders and I kid you not- McDonalds fries. Like they got them in bulk and reheated them. I was so disappointed. Don't do a breakfast buffet if you are not cut out for it. $245 for 7 people and it was not edible.
