Trattoria La Bocca - Ridgewood

LaBocca, perhaps is the finest Italian restaurant I have been in New York/New Jersey area. First of this is truly Italian restaurant, which means, the food is well prepared, light and delicious, even when you have 4 courses dinner. This has been our experience with LaBocca. But good place doesn’t end with delicious food, but it come s with great ambience, lighting and perfect music. Most of all wonderful wonderful owner and executive chef, Gioacchino D’Angelo, and his staffs who treats you like a family, smiles, warm and respectful. We recommend this restaurant strongly without any reservation. The price is very reasonable and if you are early bird you even can have a better deals 3 days a week. Thank you for our visit every time more pleasant than a time before. BYO

Heard a lot about this place. Gave it a try. Glad we did. Food very good, and friendly, prompt service. Nice atmosphere. Parking challenging.

We had a lovely dinner at La Bocca with our two young daughters. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, and we were grateful to have such delicious food in a setting accommodating our little ones. We rarely are able to have dessert/coffee but our Friday evening was capped off with both!

Food and service was good. Have been here before and it is always good.

Our appetizers were great mussels, calamari, flat breads, mozzarella, etc. Two of us found the pork shank to our liking, the bolanasse meat sauce was average, and the risotto was a bust. Very nice deserts especially the bread pudding. The place is small but worth a try.
