| - I went to Bocca one night and it was great! I love this place. Such a nice, quiet place to sit down and have a glass of vino, some great conversation, and some great food.
I was here with my godmother to do some much-needed catching up and this was the perfect place. We started out with the grilled black tiger shrimp. For my main, I had the chicken and sun dried tomato ravioli and my godmother had the osso bucco. No room for dessert- the portions were huge and quite satisfying.
Here are my thoughts:
Grilled black tiger shrimp- so good! The shrimps were fairly large, which was great. Some places claim to have "tiger shrimps" and they seem to fall short, but Bocca definitely delivered on this claim.
Chicken and sun dried tomato ravioli- the rose sauce on this was amazing. Perfect consistency. Just the right amount of cheese. Tasted great with some chili flakes sprinkled on top, but I do like a good amount of heat on my food.
Osso bucco- I'm a chicken-person, so when I tried the veal, I was expecting not to like it, but it was amazing! It was so tender and the white wine and tomato sauce was really good. The mushroom risotto was also a nice touch. I do like my dishes al dente, which the risotto was. Perfect!
Wine: our waitress did a great job pairing a white with our meal. I can't recall what it was, but I know that it do go well with the food.
Bocca is in Baldwin Village. Great neighbour and great atmosphere. If you want something quiet, romantic, and nice, definitely hit this place up!
