I've now had lunch and dinner at Bocce. I haven't really been impressed either time. Their pizza is like a cross of Neapolitan and North American (not super thin, but not thick, crispy, not chewy). I find the crust pretty dry and the bottom is too crispy for me. The melanzana pizza last night was definitely missing something, it had roasted eggplant and roasted garlic which sounds amazing but it just wasn't.
Their mussels for appetizers were great. If I eve go back, I'd get them again. Calamari is ok, but mussels were better. We hear the kale salad was good too. Prices are a bit high for the food. Especially given the cake plating fee (wtf?!) for 10 ppl... $250 per person? I dunno, it just brought them down in my books.
For similar prices I prefer amazing Italian at 500 Cucina in Inglewood.
