LA DELICIOUS – Best Linquine Carbonara Ive ever had. I took my 2 teen aged sons there and they loved the food and were treated very nicely by the staff. NO pretensiousness here, just good food and friendly waitstaff. Friendly Italian country decor.

THIS PLACE IS FOR REAL! – My date took me to La Bocca last week, and confirmed what I suspected about him all along- he's a food snob! This is the type of menu that appeals to lovers of the authentic Italian meals. We had this fabulous salad made with REAL water buffalo fresh water mozzarella (yes, there's a difference...), crisp green apple slices and fresh arrugula. Unbelievable. The duck ravioli covered in a creamy tomato sauce was simply delightful. Our home made gelato sampler finished us off with style. Our server was ... read more

Roma Revisited – This is one of the most unique restaurants in Chicago these days. They welcome smokers, eaters, and party people! We went there after a late movie at the Davis and ended up in the middle of a birthday party! Everyone there feels welcome and like a part of the family. Oh yeah- by the way- the food is friggin' unbelievable! I always eat way too much when I go there, and I can't wait to go back again. The music is very Euro- the room is bright and lively- the servers are beautiful. What else could you possibly ... read more

Diamond in the rough – I have been to this restaurant a few times now and held two business meetings there as well, and so far Bocca has never let me down. Food quality was great...the Gnochetti and the duck stuffed ravioli were to die for. Service was very friendly and professional and the price was very nice. All around good quality dining in an 'interesting' ambience.

The Best..... – The food is out of this world. We had four appetizers two entrees, three deserts between 5 of us and could not decide which one was the best. the ambience is so inviting. So Chicago. And the service was great. My group of girlfriends that have a Christmas dinner together every year, will be making reservations there!! There are ten of us.

BUONISSIMO!!!! – What a wonderful place to eat! The decor is bright and casual, but don't be fooled. This is a restaurant for serious lovers of Italian food. Don't go there if you're in a hurry. Great Italian food and wine should be savored. The owners are true to their vision of a unique menu. You'll find great homemade gnocchi that are fluffy, shrimp and artichoke hearts that are tender, and specials that are worth considering. Although the wines are limited, there's something there for everyone. Leave room for their home ... read more

TRUE Itaian Restaurant – La Bocca Della Verita is modeled after local trattorias of Rome, not the tourist traps. The decor -eccentric and the pace - inconsistent, but it's all about the food. They serve real Roman food, prepared with authentic ingredients- not the "American" version of what most consider Italian. Try the salt encrusted Sea Bass. The fish is served tableside, and it melts in your mouth. The broiled Octupus is outstanding. Duck filled ravioli is consistently wonderful. Home made desserts and great assortment o... read more
