Our favorite restaurant! – We have eaten at La Bocca Della Verita countless times in the last five or so years. The decor and atmosphere remind us of many restaurants we have been to in Italy, the service is friendly and consistently good, and best of all, the food is terrific. We recently had a wonderful dinner there with the entire family; the homemade spinach and duck ravioli were favorites, along with the Rigatoni D, made with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes,garlic and olive oil. For appetizers the antipasto mista ( melt i... read more

4 times is NOT your charm. I'd rather eat my shoe – I have given you chance after chance after chance. What the hell Bocca? This weekend was the last time I will ever act like I even consider you as an option for Italian in *this* city. Your service (as in servers) are......strange and discriminating. Sorry, all you "actors" but you are more painful to deal with than a tooth ache. On to the food, what gives? Can you get anything right? The duck in the duck ravioli could have been pizza sausage (which I'm pretty sure it was) ... read more

Service was horrible, food was gross – Waited 45 minutes for our food and when we finally got it, was sub par. Tasted like it came out of a can. When we complained about the wait, our waitress wasn't very apologetic. She reluctantly (like pulling teeth) took off our drinks from our bill and then added "You know, you weren't the only ones who had to wait." We looked around at the almost empty restaurant and waitstaff standing around. Way to convince us into coming back! I will recommend to you and all of our friends not to go... read more

Just OK – Went with two girlfriends. We thought the food was just alright. Have had better and have had worse. Maybe it was just a busy night because the kitchen was a bit slow. May go back on a different night.

Oh gnocchi you're so fine...you're so fine you bl0w my mind - hey gnocchi! – Being 1/4 Italian, I never imagined finding a restaurant that could compete with my Grandma's famous gnocchi dish. La Bocca Della Verita didn't disappoint. Nor did its quaint Lincoln Square location with patio dining and overly friendly service. I strangely enough had the urge to eat some more gnocchi the day after my dining experience. The takeout version showed no difference in deliciousness. As applicable, you can turn your Lincoln Square adventu... read more

Hidden Treasure – I always enjoy coming to Bocca and bringing friends. The staff is friendly and warm, and the atmosphere is casual and laid-back. This place is perfect for an intimate date or a large group. My favorites are the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Rigatoni with mozzerella and spicy red sauce special (which is not always on the menu, though if they're not busy and you request it, they will make it!).

Lincoln Square locals gather for reasonably priced Italian in a relaxed atmosphere. – The Scene There's nothing sleek or polished about La Bocca: Tablecloths are mix-and-match, and the walls are covered with a motley assortment of Italian-themed posters, photographs and paintings. Still, super-friendly service creates a neighborly feeling in the three small rooms--and if the lights were a little dimmer, it'd be darn romantic. The Food The menu offers simple, homemade Italian dishes--just what you'd expect from a neighborhood... read more
