If dinner looks like this, you’re doing Saturday right.

One of BOCCA’s fan favorites is looking especially irresistible: our PAN-SEARED GULF RED SNAPPER served over creamy risotto with a silky white wine butter sauce, oven-dried tomato, and broccolini. Fresh, beautifully balanced, and exactly what Saturday night calls for.

Settle in for a memorable dinner in our dining room or enjoy the evening on our fabulous patio. 🍷

And there’s no need to call it a night after dessert. Step next door to SLOAN’S and catch the incredible Graham Harper Duo, live from 8:30–11:30 PM. Dinner, drinks, and live music, all in one downtown destination.

Reservations available on Resy.
Valet parking available to make your evening easy.

🍆 BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: EGGPLANT PARMESAN

You asked. We listened. And one of BOCCA’s most-loved dishes has officially returned to the menu.

Our Eggplant Parmesan starts with slices of eggplant breaded and fried until perfectly crisp, then layered with housemade marinara, creamy ricotta, fresh mozzarella and Grana Padano.

Crispy. Cheesy. Saucy. Completely irresistible.

And if you’re someone who thinks you don’t like eggplant? This might just be the dish that changes your mind. 😉

Come see why so many of you asked us to bring it back. Order it, enjoy every bite, and thank us later.

The hardest part about ordering our Arancini? Agreeing to share them.

Golden and crisp on the outside, warm and tender inside, these classic Italian risotto balls are the kind of starter made for the center of the table. Order a plate, pour the wine, and share… although we won’t judge if you don’t. 🍷

Joining us Tuesday through Thursday? Come early for Pasta Happy Hour from 4:30–6:30 PM. For $29 per person + tax & gratuity, enjoy:
🍴 Caesar Salad

Enjoy five exceptional wines, each thoughtfully paired with a five-course menu created by Chef Tom Saab and his culinary team to showcase every glass at its very best.

From a Butter Basted Sea Scallop paired with Robert Mondavi Oakville Fumé Blanc to a beautifully prepared New Zealand Lamb Chop alongside the 60th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon, each course has been designed to tell the story of these remarkable wines.

Throughout the evening, you’ll learn about Robert Mondavi’s lasting influence on California winemaking and discover what continues to make these wines favorites among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The best part of the meal isn’t always the first bite. Sometimes it’s the last spoonful.

Whether you’re craving one of our housemade pastas, a beautifully prepared Northern Italian entrée, or simply an excuse to linger over a great bottle of wine, Bocca is ready to make your evening memorable.

And whatever you do, don’t skip dessert.

Our Salted Caramel Affogato is the grand finale every meal deserves. Velvety salted caramel ice cream is finished with coffee liqueur, and a sprinkle of candied almonds and shaved chocolate for the perfect balance of rich, sweet, and bold. It’s indulgent, elegant, and worth saving room for.

Make plans to join us this weekend. Reservations are available on Resy, walk-ins are always welcome, and valet parking makes your night downtown effortless.
