"This was our first visit to Bocce Cafe. We were very early (6:00 PM) and only a few other dinners were present. Thus the service was good. The food was good, not great. I had linguine pesto. The sauce was thicker than I like it and did not have great flavor. My wife had Eggplant Pargimana. She reported it was very good. The restaurant is very nice inside and overall we had a pleasant experience."

"I came a few years ago & loved everything. This time I brought my mom for her birthday & was very disappointed. The service was very good but the food was nothing I would be back for. The pizza and pasta were mediocre and we sent the dessert back. Even the coffee was cold. It was very unfortunate because I had been raving about the food to my family."

"Great classic Italian dishes, well prepared, and unbelievably affordable for North Beach I've lived 4 blocks from this gem for 4 years, and regret this was my first visit. I'm going to have to make up for lost time! Such great service, too, and remarkable decor."

"Ambience and service were good, but food was spotty. Some dishes where tasty, some (like the lasagna) tasted like the sauce was from Chef Boyardee."
