The secret to this carpaccio? It might just be the sauce. 🍷

Our Beef Tenderloin Carpaccio is served with tonnato sauce, pickled shallots, cherry tomatoes, arugula, and grilled country bread.

If you’re not familiar with tonnato, it’s a savory Italian sauce made with tuna, anchovies, capers, lemon, and mayonnaise. Creamy, bright, briny, and full of flavor, it pairs beautifully with the delicate, chilled beef tenderloin.

Share it as a starter for the table or keep it all to yourself and make a meal of it. Add a glass of wine from our thoughtfully curated selection and your evening is off to a very good start.

Reservations available on Resy. Walk-ins are always welcome. Valet parking available.

If you’re wondering what to order this week… this is your sign. 🍋

Our Chicken Piccata is one of those dishes you’ll find yourself craving long after the last bite. Tender chicken, a silky lemon butter sauce, bright capers, and housemade brown butter gnocchi that’s soft, pillowy, and worth every forkful.

Add a crisp Italian white to the table, settle in on the patio, and you’ve got one of the best ways to spend a summer evening downtown.

Reservations are available on Resy, walk-ins are always welcome, and valet parking is available.

Did you miss us? Because we definitely missed you.

Our team is back from a wonderful Fourth of July break, feeling rested, refreshed, and ready to serve up all your BOCCA favorites. Whether you’ve been thinking about fresh housemade pasta, a great glass of wine, or dinner on the patio, we’d love to welcome you back this week.

Need an excuse to make plans? Pasta Happy Hour is the answer. Join us Tuesday through Thursday from 4:30–6:30 PM and enjoy a full-size Caesar salad, your choice of one of our housemade pastas, and a glass of house wine for just $29 (plus tax and gratuity).

If the weather decides to cooperate, grab a seat on the patio, order another glass of wine, and settle in for one of those evenings you wish didn’t have to end.

We’ll save you a table.

Valet parking available.

A few days away, and then we’ll be right back where we love to be.

BOCCA will be closed Tuesday, June 30 through Saturday, July 4 for our annual summer vacation. We’ll return on Tuesday, July 7, ready to welcome you back with fresh housemade pasta, great wine, and the warm hospitality that makes every meal feel special.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a safe and wonderful holiday, and we’ll see you soon around the table.

A quick heads-up, friends — BOCCA will be closed this evening for a sold-out Caymus Wine Dinner.

We’re grateful for the incredible response and can’t wait to share this special evening with our guests. If you were hoping to dine with us tonight, our sister restaurant, Bistro 218, would love to welcome you.

We’ll be back tomorrow at 4:30 PM, rested, inspired, and ready to serve up your favorite housemade pastas, great wine, and warm hospitality.

See you Thursday.

There’s something satisfying about twirling fresh pasta around your fork and knowing you ordered exactly the right thing.

Our Gulf Shrimp Scampi features housemade linguini, Gulf shrimp, broccolini, garlic butter, white wine, and pine nuts—a combination that feels light enough for summer while still delivering plenty of flavor. Add a glass of crisp Italian white wine, and you’ve got a pairing made for a relaxed evening downtown.

If you’re joining us earlier, don’t forget about Pasta Happy Hour, available Tuesday through Thursday from 4:30–6:30. Enjoy a Caesar salad, your choice of housemade pasta, and a glass of house wine for $29 plus tax and gratuity.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, escaping the kitchen for the night, or simply in the mood for a great plate of pasta, we’ll have a table waiting. Downtown Birmingham, a glass of wine, and dinner that’s worth slowing down for.
Valet parking available.
