🍩 Dinner is great. But THIS is how you finish the night!

Meet our Italian Butter Crunch Doughnut—a golden, pillowy doughnut topped with buttery toffee, crunchy walnuts and almonds, and a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. A little crunch, a little decadence, and a whole lot of deliciousness!

Make tonight a date night at BOCCA, and be sure to leave room for this beauty!

🍆 Think you don’t like eggplant? We might just change your mind.

Our Eggplant Parmesan has a way of winning over even the biggest skeptics!

Tender slices of eggplant are breaded and fried until perfectly golden and crisp, then layered with rich marinara, creamy ricotta, melted mozzarella, and Grana Padano.

Crispy, cheesy, and absolutely irresistible. It’s Italian comfort food at its finest and one of those dishes you’ll find yourself craving long after the last bite.

Come discover why our Eggplant Parmesan is a guest favorite at BOCCA. We’d love to have you join us for dinner! 🍷🇮🇹

🍷 Some dishes are worth waiting all year for. This is one of them.

As the seasons change, one of BOCCA’s most exquisite dishes makes its much-anticipated return to the menu—our Braised Beef Short Rib.

Slow-braised until beautifully tender, our rich, melt-in-your-mouth beef short rib is served over creamy polenta and complemented by a luxurious Bordelaise sauce, earthy artisanal mushrooms, and delicate baby carrots. Deep, savory flavors and elegant simplicity make this the ultimate cool-weather indulgence.

🍷 The perfect pairing? A bold Super Tuscan or another full-bodied red w**e to complement the richness of the dish. Ask your server for a recommendation to make the experience even more memorable.

Autumn has arrived, and so has one of our favorite reasons to linger over dinner at BOCCA.

Dessert this beautiful deserves its own moment. ✨

Join us at BOCCA for dinner this weekend and definitely save room for the newest addition to our dessert lineup—our Sweet Cream Panna Cotta, topped with vibrant blackberry coulis and fresh berries, and a buttery shortbread cookie.

Silky, delicate and beautifully balanced, the creamy panna cotta pairs perfectly with the bright, slightly tart blackberry and fresh fruit. A light, elegant finish to an evening at BOCCA. 🍓

And there’s no need to call it a night after dessert. Head next door to SLOAN’S for a nightcap and live music from the Erin Mitchell Duo, 8:30–11:30 PM. The perfect way to keep your Friday night downtown going. 🥃🎶

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