I went here like 10 years ago, then happen to revisit it tonight. All i can say is EXCELLENT all around: meal, service, atmosphere. I had the eggplant parm w spaghetti. And a bowl of minestrone soup...very tastey, not salty. The staff should be applauded and recognized for their friendly personalities and hard work!! Its a quaint atmosphere too. They also honor luncheon menu during dinner. Nobody does that in the industry.:^)Definitely coming back more often. Great Italian restaurant!!!

Saw this on Phantom Gourmet. We decided to try it, No disappointment here whatsoever, it was delish. They combined the chicken and eggplant parm and it was great. The eggplant was so thin, it was perfect. No skin on edges either, that usually ruins an eggplant parm. I tried my wife's Chicken Marsala and that was delicious too. They were out of their tiramisu which was disappointing but that was prob because they were busy, at 830 when we could get our reservation, the place was still packed!! They did have a dessert called Affogato, which was delish and made from similar ingredients to Tiramisu. I found a new dessert, who knew.... I am a wicked foodie, and I will def be back. Thank you Bocca Bella!!
Excellent food and top notch staff attention and knowledge. Highly recommend!

Met friends here for dinner. We all had great meals. The server was very friendly. The place is small, but that just means you get more attention. Would go again.

OMG! OMG! This restaurant is a must go to it! It's located in Auburndale. It's small. My husband and I went for lunch. We can see it getting crowded for dinner. And if that is the case, please wait for a table because it will be worth it. Phantom Gourmet did a review. The Italian food is absolutely great, fantastic and downright good!! The music makes you want to get up and dance. I couldn't keep still in my chair! I hope I left you in suspense so that you will go enjoy GREAT Italian food! Bon appétit!

The veal marsala tasted good. (I think they used sweet marsala not dry).Good selection of red wines.Excellent bread pudding for dessert (would have been best if served warmer and had twice as much custard cream).I was disappointed they ran out of pistachio ricotta cheese cake. I will have to return to try it. ( The pic is of a ricotta cheese cake I had in Milan last year)
I wasn't expecting much from the small neighborhood joint. We went on a Saturday for lunch and it was not too busy. The ambience was very family friendly and the food was really delicious. They also had excellent olive oil with bread as a starter. I got the steak tips and Caesar salad and it was mixed perfection. Definitely come again.

The food was great! There was a lot in the primavera with shrimp in the white wine sauce, a lot in the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and mixed veggies. I wish the ravioli in the red sauce had 2-3 more pieces of ravioli in it.The white sauce dishes needed a bit more salt in my opinion - but that’s also a taste preference as well.

A great family owned friendly restaurant with great food and service. I went here solo while on a business trip and within 20 mins I was enjoying new friends including the owner/chef Mario with whom I dined at the cozy bar. Bellissimo. Milli
