A True Dining Experience
"Bocca" is situated in the trendy district of North Adelaide. It prides itself on the fine food and wine it has on offer. It has a warm and friendly ambience. The outdoor alfresco dining is popular with the locals on those warm balmy nights.
The menu is contempory italian, offering clasical dishes.    [01 Jul 2002 07:23:22]

Bocca Espresso Bar
On entering Bocca we were greeted warmly by Diana who offered us a table for two near the
front door. The atmosphere reminded me of an Italian Restaurant I used to frequent in London,
having lived there in the early eighties. I suggested to Tina we started with an aperitif, a fond memory from London, but I could not remember what it was called, just simply the taste and the refreshment value. Diana assisted us with the choice, it was simply Cinzano Bianco over ice, which we both enjoyed.

Diana's hospitality and knowledge of the product, enabled us to make a choice of two pasta's
from several that we were considering. Personally I am allergic to seafood and choose not to eat red meat. We shared the penne with spinach and chili and the ravioli with sun dried tomato.

I am sorry I can not remember the names or all of the ingredients, but they were both divine.

The herb bread was delicious with a zesty flavor and very fresh. The meals were served timely
without delay or haste. After dinner we both enjoyed the best coffee I have had in Adelaide.

The food was excellent, the service exceptional, atmosphere perfect (for two colleagues) but
the highlight of our night was the warmth and sincerity it was all presented to us by Diana.    [27 Jul 2006 20:39:29]

Great Dining
"Bocca' is a great place to eat. All the food was great and I eat there about 5 nights a week for over 2 months. The staff and the owners were all great. If you are in North Adelaide, you really need to try this place and tell the Mark sent you..    [16 Sep 2006 21:35:41]
