Food Quality
Pros:
"Food was BEAUTIFUL! (my boyfriend is a chef so tough to impress but he loved it)."
"Our food was delivered promptly and was beautifully cooked."
"The food is a sort of american/Italian style and it's very well made."
"The food was lovely, cocktails were delicious."
"The food was absolutely delicious a deserved 5 star rating, beautiful surroundings."
Cons:
"When it finally arrived it was luke warm and distinctly average."
"I'm not sure if it is a new chef or a change of hands but if you advertise a roast and make someone wait 45 minutes they expect a roast. Instead I got a piece of steak with boiled potatoes."
"When I ordered my lamb I was asked how I would like it and specified well done however when it arrived it was pink."
"The truffle pasta side for example is nothing more than pesto pasta with a bit of cheese on top."
"The arrancini balls and the meatballs were bland."
Service Quality
Pros:
"Amazing service from the whole team. They really did make you feel welcome and special."
"Service is super friendly. Beautiful fresh flowers and art in a super clean air conditioned inside."
"A great night to celebrate special friends 40th. The service was great as they helped with a special cake."
"Our waitress was very attentive and ensured we had everything we wanted/needed."
"Especially excellent service from Simona who was really attentive to us and my baby."
Cons:
"Very disappointing- our starters came relatively quickly but then we waited an hour and a half for our main course."
"Heating wasn't on during cold snap, as apparently it's not worth it on a Sunday."
"I was extremely disappointed. Drinks took a long time to arrive."
"Disgusting service, poor food and a spoiled evening."
"The food was lovely but the service is so shocking. It’s like school children running a restaurant."
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"The atmosphere was lively, music was loud so maybe not somewhere for the grandparents?"
"The atmosphere very warm and inviting, tables not to close to each other."
"Out of all the restaurants on the road, Bocca's beautiful interior, especially the lush flower wall grabbed our attention."
"The music was pumping the whole night, the aesthetics and decor was instagrammable."
"Lovely interior with flower walls and trees adorned with fairy lights."
Cons:
"When you can’t hear each other at the table the volume is too loud."
"The menu posted in window was out of date- we wouldn't have gone in if we had known."
"Also way too dark in the restaurant. Couldn’t see what I was eating."
"But the establishment seem to cater for younger clientele as bar music too loud and couldn't hear each other speak."
"The restaurant is quite dark, we were seated near a faux tree covered in flashing fairy lights and the music was blasting so loud we couldn't hear each other talk!"
Value for Money
Pros:
"Surprised that a 5 star restaurant can be found in a tiny town like Idaho city. Wish we’d had room for dessert! It also looked amazing! New favorite go to for a nice dinner out at a good price!"
"The portion size was generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant fully satisfied."
"Wonderful layout and extraordinary vibes. I was really impressed with the food, high quality at a very very reasonable price."
Cons:
"I personally think the cocktails are over priced for mls received."
"Mediocre service, bland food, had to chase the waiter for our food after waiting a long time."
"A glass of wine and a whisky at the bar were £20, again way too high (comparable to casino prices)."
"The food was lovely and it was nice to have some interesting non-alcoholic drinks available. Food served in pretty good time considering we went in a large group on a Friday night. A little pricey, but the quality of food and surroundings does justify this."
