I met up with some friends here on a Wednesday evening before seeing Stomp at Gammage. It was my first time in La Bocca (and first time on Mill Ave. in quite awhile). I feel like La Bocca fills a void on Mill, and the decent weeknight crowd validated my assumption.
The happy hour wine selection was pretty strong, and I enjoyed our bruschetta appetizer quite a bit -- alllllmost as good as Postino. The pizzas and salad left something to be desired, but did the trick for a quick pre-show dinner. The atmosphere was quite nice (dig the music!) and bonus points for olives from Queen Creek Olive Company.
