What a beautiful room the Maisonette left for BOCA. There are several menu items that give homage to the restaurant that made Cincinnati famous. We ordered a couple they did not disappoint, but they weren't the story. This chef has put his deft touch on many small plates that we ordered. BOCA Oysters we're a top notch Rockefeller style offering, Buffalo mozzarella, topped with anchovies, were a salty delight and was followed by an excellent version of Bolognese pasta. Other guests shared their small plates. The star attraction was a fresh and flavorful Hamachi Crudo. This elegant amberjack carpaccio, was light, delicious and fragrant, and was a gem. BOCA would be a welcome addition to the Cleveland restaurant scene should they look to expand. read more

We went for a special dining experience called Piedmont in the Fall. It was basically a prepaid course dinner with a northern Italian theme. The price my dinner party of 4 paid, we could have flown to NYC & back and had a nice cozy little dinner somewhere. The service was good. And I liked that they paid attention to details like changing the plates to match the style of N Italy. However, it just wasn't worth the price tag. The portions were small. Some of the dishes were good and some just weren't that great. Not what you'd expect when paying a Michelin Star price tag. read more

Great food, great ambiance and service. The food was cook to perfection. Loved it. Will prob be back for special celebration.

I can't say enough good things about Boca. Each and every item on their menu is so carefully curated, you can tell the amount of attention to detail there is in each dish. This is probably our 7th or 8th time at the restaurant. We have tried the following items from their menu - Pommes Souffles Roasted Carrot Salad Charred leeks Romanesco Tamarin Al Nero The scallops The halibut Butternut Squash ravioli The filet boca The boca burger Lamb chop Maple mascarpone cheesecake The creme brûlée Each and every one of these knocks it out of the park. No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed. Shout out to David for his excellent service and making it a night to remember. read more

This exceptional restaurant serves French dishes in such a beautiful way of remarkable decoration and flavorful tastes. We ordered Pommes Souffles- loved this dish, Amish Chicken Risotto, Hamachi Crudo, Halibut, Coconut Panna Cotta and ice cream. Everything is delicious but my Amish Chicken Risotto was too salty. Though the waiter offered to replace for me. you might have to make a reservation prior to your arrival as Boca is pretty popular in downtown. read more

Wonderful service. Great atmosphere. They develop incredible flavors. Laughable portions for the price. Oysters Rockefeller- Incredible Caviar Crouton - quarter-sized for $31. Not worth the price Leek - great flavor. Tiny portion. Stupid expensive for the actual cost of goods. Beets - beautiful plate. Over-priced Chicken - So good. Good portion. Halibut - Good dish. Tiny plate for $25. Dumb. Scallop - wonderful flavor. Brussels are great. One scallop for $27 read more

We went here recently for our 6th anniversary dinner. This was our first time dining at Boca and I can't say we were totally blown away. When we first got sat, we were sat by the upstairs kitchen which is unfortunate because we had servers rushing past us all night and wait staff gossiping by our table about how certain tables "only ordered bread." For our anniversary last year, we went to The Precinct and we got sat by the kitchen and it was very unpleasant, so my fiancée made a note in the Boca reservation about possibly getting a seat in a booth and we got a table by the kitchen. Maybe it's just our luck? Anyway, our server was very nice and congratulated us on our anniversary. She ran through the menu with us and typically I hate when restaurants do that but she made some good suggestions. My only issue is that she suggested more food than seemed necessary. She was suggesting that each of us should order 1-3 small bites and 1-3 small plates per person which seemed like overkill. She was also really down playing the size of the small bite and small plates. She said the small bites were going to be 1-2 bites per dish. So we ordered the bread and the soufflé. The bread had 4 massive pieces and the soufflé had like 8-10 pieces. Honestly that would've been enough of an appetizer but since we thought the dishes were going to be 1-2 bites, we order the Brussel sprouts small plate. When we were ordering the Brussel sprouts she asked if we wanted the "half order" or "full order" because the half order was going to be small.... We went with just the half order and it again was plenty of food. I thought it was very strange that she kept downplaying the size of the food when we were basically full by the time our entrees came. Side note: I don't care how fancy a restaurant is but, at a nice restaurant, I feel like bread should always be complementary. The entrees came and they were great! All of the food was really good and great presentation. The Wellington was a tad bit too salty but was really tasty. The server asked if we were interested in dessert and but we were too full. She said "Nothing to celebrate the anniversary?" And we said "The dinner was celebration enough!" We kind of excepted a tiny celebratory something from the kitchen since we were celebrating our special night there but nothing came. Most higher end restaurants (Ruby's definitely) want to celebrate you for spending special moments with them, so maybe I've become accustomed to that but I guess Boca does not do that which feels kind of cheap and makes you feel that you're just a customer and not a guest experiencing the restaurant. In summary: the food was pretty good, the server was nice but kind of pushy to order excess food, and no BPA (blowing people away). Would we come back? Probably not but now we can tell people we've been and now we have plenty of memories for many anniversaries to come. read more

Boca - Italian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was expecting to need an overdraft to pay for a lunch here but was pleasantly surprised that they keep the prices very reasonable. The meals were standard good and satisfying. While we only had light meals, the menu will cater for most tastes. Our waitress was lovely and very professional. I think her name was Alexis, a tall dark haired lady and a definite 'keeper'. Thank you. I'd certainly return, and there are loads of parking behind the building. read more

IN 1 LINE: Upscale dining with the finest service to match! SERVICE: You will be welcomed at the door! The waitstaff here is exceptional at what they do. From making helpful recommendations, to filling up your water before you're done, to folding your napkin if you get up, this is the place to come for amazing and attentive service. FOOD: You must start with the Pommes soufflé with dipping sauce! They look like a work of art and taste just as amazing. For the entree, I got the Amish Chicken which was one of the best chicken meals I have ever had and more than I could finish. It was served with rich risotto. Finish with the homemade Snickers dessert. ATMOSPHERE: This is an elegant dining experience, great for special celebrations. It offers seating upstairs or downstairs, for large or small groups. There is even a romantic couple's dining booth room with one private table surrounded by curtains. Be impressed by this visually appealing restaraunt with chandeliers and leather seating. *A dining experience that is sure to impress! read more

De-licious! Beautiful ambiance and a great date night spot or birthday dinner spot. The pommes soufflés have to be my favorite just because they're fun to eat and they're so well-seasoned and the dip is divine. Always great service. The scallop dish is unique and savory, I loved the Brussel sprouts and shaved Parmesan that completed the dish. The truffle risotto is also a dish that can't be missed. Dessert was the exotic pana cotta and boy was it exotic, a beautiful pineapple flavor and a great way to top a satisfied meal. read more

The food was average, nothing spectacular or noteworthy. Service of the wait staff was good, however, the host was subpar. I was very confused by Boca, because I wasn't sure what kind of vibe they are going for. It seems like they are trying to go for the "fancy" type, however, the place was very open and there were a lot of big groups (on the night we were there) so the place was actually quite loud. I wish that the dining experience could be a little more intimate and enjoyable. The food was ok, they were regular Italian food, but there wasn't anything that stood out. For the price point that they charged, I would expect them to have at least one of two "signature dishes" that are wow-worthy. The dishes lack characters. I wouldn't even call them authentic Italian food. I don't think I would go back to Boca again since there are still so many restaurants that I want to try in Cincinnati! read more

Boca has been my favorite iconic restaurant in Cincinnati since they started in Northside. I love everything on the menu. If you have been eating there for as long as I have be ready for extremely small portions( everything is 4oz now) and higher prices. :( A place I used to frequent will now be occasional. $22 for one scallop and a few Brussels for example. I love everything they do ambiance is amazing service is the best. Just be ready $$$$$ read more

I really do like this place, quite a lot, but I also think there's a massive issue on the quality of food relative to the price you're going to pay. It's damn good. The pommes souffles are just the best, absolutely loved the Foie Gras Torchon we had at the time, and I think the chicken dish is one of the best I've ever had. The wine list is stellar, well-thought out and has a bevy of options. The staff are of course exceptional, and the place just looks baller and pays homage to the previous fine-dining spot that was there years back. If Cinci ever gets a Michelin starred location, this would be the best contender. Still left hungry, lol. read more

Service is top notch and servers are incredibly knowledgeable of the menu. Pommes soufflés are a work of magic, and the dream of Capri is beautiful and light. The only thing I was sad to see go was the Amish Chicken, while the Magic Chicken was good, I do wish this was still an option as that is what I was looking forward to most in my visit. This is the only reason I did not leave a full 5 stars, everything else was phenomenal. My meal was finished with the buckeye candy bar, which was decadent and rich. I would have loved to have had one more little scoop of the custard on the side, but only because it was so delicious! read more

Boca - Buckeye Candy Bar - Italian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place! I want to say I don't love it as much as I do since it is very pricey, but after multiple wonderful experiences I think it is worth every penny. As always, we like to share as many items as possible to try it all. So between two of us we managed to order two apps, three pastas, two entrees and two desserts. Items are split up by small or large portions so that you can do it just this way. The menu is always changing so there are new items to try but they also make sure to keep their staple dishes so you don't miss out on a favorite. I would like to list out here items that are "must orders", but it would be every single item we have ever eaten here. The service is always impeccable, each person is attentive and knowledgeable on the menu and making sure it is a memorable dining experience. I love this restaurant and highly recommend it! read more

Boca - Truffles 3 - Italian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Absolutely amazing dining experience. I love the smell of boca the moment you walk in. The ambience of the restaurant is very romantic and I love the decor of the restaurant itself. For appetizers, we ordered the foie gras macaron, the bad boy blue oven bread, the scallop salad, and the grilled romaine salad. The foie gras macaron was a great combination of savory and sweet. I wasn't expecting it to come with the sweet almond macarons as the shell, but it was a surprising combination that worked. I was a little disappointed by it though. The macaron was a little over baked so it was a little too tough. I wish the foie gras flavor was also a little stronger. Is was more mild than I would've preferred. As for the bread, it had a great anise flavored crust as always. The salads were absolutely delectable. I loved the grilled romaine and the balsamic flavor it came with. The scallop on the scallop salad was perfectly cooked and had a great truffle aroma. For entrees, we had the Boca burgers the wild board agnolotti, the tajarin bolognese, and the seafood risotto. The Boca burger was pretty good. It came with the pomme soufflés which were delicious. The wild boar agnolotti was my personal favorite dish. The wild board inside was perfectly braised, the truffle and sauce it came with was an absolute dream, the dish overall had a great umami flavor to it. The tajarin bolognese was pretty good, and the seafood risotto was also very good. The lobster chunks and the flavors of the San marazino added a nice touch. For dessert, we ordered the buckeye candy bar and the coconut panna cotta. The buckeye candy bar was very rich, but nonetheless, pretty good. The roasted peanuts gave a great savory crunch to the dessert. The coconut panna cotta absolutely blew me away. It wasn't the typical cup of panna cotta you would get, it was layered on top of another one of their almond macarons (which still could be a little chewier) and it came with dragon fruit, passion fruit, and hibiscus pearls. The panna cotta itself was good, but the combination with all the different fruits yielded an amazing light, but fruity desert. It was a delectable combination and I can't wait to order it again. Overall, a great restaurant with great food and a great vibe. read more

Boca is a sophisticated and elegant restaurant in the central business district of Cincinnati. The dishes are small and great for sharing in large groups, which I loved since it allows you to try lots of different types of food. Since the menu was slightly unconventional, our waiter was happy to make recommendations and we loved every dish we tried. To start, the pommes souffles are a must. They are hollow french fries that come with an incredible creme dipping sauce and are great to order with the first round of drinks. For the meal, we had a mix of pastas and vegetable based dishes. The scallop, romanesco, gnocchi, mafaldine, and coquilles were all crowd pleasers. I loved the French flair integrated into all of these dishes and considered Boca to be a fantastic treat. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Drinks done perfectly, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. 10 out of 10! read more

Once again, I was very impressed with Boca. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with an open air kitchen and massive chandelier, making for a great start to the night. The service is amazing, our waiter took the time to explain everything on the menu and offer some much-appreciated recommendations. As soon as the pommes soufflés hit the table they were gone, that good. Next we got the beef tartare, which was good but not something I would personally order again. The diver scallop will forever be my favorite thing, next time I will likely get this as my entree. The spring pea cappellacci is also a must order in my opinion and something I didn't know if I was going to like but was pleasantly surprised. The red heritage chicken is good but everything else was just really good so it seemed a little lackluster in comparison, but I will say the risotto is phenomenal. To round out the night, I got the le citron dessert, and to be honest I took most of it to go because I was so full at this point. Boca is somewhere you should definitely have on your list if you haven't been. read more

The restaurant is impeccably designed, a mixture of luxe and relaxation. It's quite spacious and they do a great job at spreading out patrons the best they can. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive. You have your main waiter, but then you have another group of staff members completing miscellaneous tasks like filling water, clearing plates, or scraping off crumbs from the table. I really felt like we were being taken care of. We started off with the pommes soufflees which are like a hollowed out puffed up french fries. They were unique and tasty. The first few we ate were the best, as they quickly lost their slight crunch as they cooled. They came with a Bearnaise sauce that I found to be a bit too acidic. We also tried the bread ($2) which was delicious. My husband was a huge fan. We ordered the scallop and brussels sprouts which was my favorite dish of the night. It's a single scallop atop a bed of brussels sprouts and brown butter. The brussels sprouts are well caramelized and you could smell the truffles. It really is a flavor punch. My husband found it to be a bit overwhelming. I think this dish is a bit polarizing and caters to those who prefer a symphony of flavors versus those who prefer simple and refined flavors. Many of the "primi" and "land & sea" dishes come in two sizes, a 4 oz tasting option and a 7 oz full version. We ordered the 7 oz version of the Fusilli al Ragu di Carne, which felt generous for a pasta dish. The Ragu is a mix of pork, beef, and foie gras with san marzano and parmigiano. I think it was a fine dish, but it was no better than my Uncle's family pasta recipe. I wouldn't have known there was foie gras incorporated into the dish if I hadn't seen it on the menu. We ordered the tasting portion of the Branzino a la Plancha which was my husband's favorite dish of the night. The Branzino was well cooked and had a bit of a crunch to it. The accompaniments and the sauce were delicious and well-balanced. We ended the night with the Buckeye Candy Bar and the Milk Chocolate Bavarois. Both desserts were delightful and a great note to end the meal on. The Buckeye Candy Bar was a bit too rich to eat in one sitting, even split between two people. It truly was like eating a generous candy bar. I preferred the Milk Chocolate Bavarois, though the passion fruit jam was too tart for my liking. Originally we ordered one "snack", one "small", one 4 oz "primi", and one 4 oz "land & sea" (the dessert menu would come later) to share, which is one thing from each category on their menu. Our waitress informed us that what we intended to order to share was what they recommended for one person! I guess the idea is to do more of a four course meal. She encouraged us to get at least one full sized portion, so we chose to get the 7 oz portion of the Ragu. She was right. I think we would have left a bit unfulfilled with two tasting portions. After our two desserts, we were filled to the brim! If you eat a late lunch, you can definitely leave full with what we ordered (snack, bread, small, 7 oz primi, 4 oz land and sea, and two desserts to share). We had intended to visit Sotto afterwards for doughnuts, but we didn't have any room left at all! Overall, we had a delightful and memorable meal. At this price point, however, I hoped to be blown away (you know, like eyes closed, plate licking impulses, ordering a second round goodness). I think you are paying for a lot of premium ingredients that ultimately aren't appreciated in the dish. There's foie gras in the ragu, but I can't taste it. There's truffle in the brussels and I can smell them, but the flavor is otherwise lost. We wore fairly nice clothes, but I think you could get away with snappy casual. The waiters wear nice jeans. They have valet parking. We didn't have any trouble finding street parking nearby. read more

Food was fabulous, service perfect, ambiance a sort of rustic elegance. Loved it all. Four of us enjoyed the charred leek dish, the Hamachi crudo, cappellacci di giano, bolognese pasta, romanesco, halibut, chicken and filet. Our server, Graham, recommended a delicious bottle of white burgundy, Pierre Girardin, wjhich is also available by the glass. I didn't taste the filet, but my son thinks the Precinct's is better. Yes, the portions are small, but we knew that going in. The proteins are all 4 ounces. We each had three plates, and were satisfied. I forgot to mention the special, which was Lake Superior perch. Delicious, but definitely a small serving. The four of us spent a total of 500$ for wine, dinner, one appetizer, one cappuccino. (Not including tip) It was a special occasion, 30th anniversary, and completely enjoyable. read more

Those that know me know that I really enjoy food and trying new restaurants. This is a bold statement, but I honestly think that the meal I had last night at Boca was the best restaurant meal of my life. We reserved the private room for a dinner with 21 family members. Full disclosure that my brother in law works as a server at Boca, but I don't think our service would have been any different if we didn't have a connection. Everything about the service was completely on point! We had the prix fixe group menu, which had something for everyone to enjoy. We started with some croquettes for the table and they were creamy and delicious. I got the brussel sprouts for my first course and they were incredible. They were covered in a balsamic glaze and were cooked perfectly. Definitely the best brussel sprouts I've had. Others at the table got the haricot vert and raved about the deliciousness! We then enjoyed a quick pasta course, where we sampled four different pastas. They were all divine but the gnocchi was particularly noteworthy. For my main course, I opted for the beef tenderloin. It is covered in a bernaise sauce and comes with fingerling potatoes. It was so rich and delicious and I was very happy with my order. Finally, for the dessert course I went for a chocolate cake with a dessert cheese center. It was the perfect rich ending to a spectacular meal. On top of the outstanding food, the table sampled several wines and cocktails. I'm not usually a cocktail person, but I just couldn't pass these up after seeing the drinks others got. Do yourself a favor and try them yourself! This was a truly memorable meal for our family and it was such a treat that I got to dine at Boca while visiting Cincinnati. Thank you, Boca, for an amazing meal and experience! read more

I could not recommend a restaurant more highly than Boca. I've been twice, and both experiences have been nothing short of perfection. Everything from the atmosphere to the service to the food is top-notch (and I'd go out on a limb to claim it's the best in Cincinnati, tbh). In my opinion, this is the kind of restaurant where things are best enjoyed as shareables. For the best experience, I would highly recommend going with a group of 3-4 people so you can order a wide variety of different plates. Some favorites from my last visit included the ouefs mayonnaise, the romanesco, the rigatoni, and the filet. We also ordered two desserts and both were fantastic. It's not easy to find food that has such incredible depth of flavor. Price-wise, it's definitely a little expensive, but you'll probably pay about half as much as you would for a comparable experience in a city like Chicago or NYC. I think it's worth every penny, and look forward to coming back soon! read more

This is one of our favorites restaurants in Cincinnati. We travel to Cincinnati frequently to see broadway shows and we go here and eat almost every time because we have discovered, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Every time we go other places, they don't live up to Boca. This food is always fresh, hot, and tasty. We have sat both upstairs and downstairs. Both are good, it's more quiet up. So it just depends on what your mood is. You definitely always have to make reservations well in advance as it usually always filled up. It is literally next door to the Arnoff Center so it's perfect for pre or post theatre dinner. read more

Ambiance: Perfect. Beautiful chandelier as the centerpiece and regal stairs in the two-story restaurant. Fancy, but not too stuffy. Not awkwardly quiet or loud. Just the right amount of noise to feel lively but also private with normal conversation level. Service: A+. The waiter was knowledgeable and detailed. Gave great recommendations. He also had the right amount of energy where it did not feel imposing. The hostesses were also very friendly and welcoming. Food: POMMES SOUFFLES // It's definitely a novel technique, but nothing else crazy in taste besides that. If you want something a little different, this is a good choice. But if you're here for some fancy good food, it's okay to pass on this. BOCA OYSTERS // I'm a sucker for oysters Rockefeller, but this left me wanting more. 3/5, pass. SEARED FOIS GRAS A LA BOULEY // 5/5, SOLID. Highly recommend this dish. Everything about it is perfect, from the cook to every other addition on the plate. Richness of duck with the velvety smooth taste of fois gras. I shared this with my date, and we both agreed we could each have our own. CAPPELLACCI DI GIANO // 5/5, ANOTHER SLAM DUNK!!! The pasta was perfectly cooked, so delicate, and the flavors were spot-on. I, too, could've had my own serving of this BEEF WELLINGTON // 4/5. Although there is so much hype about this, I could've passed on this and gotten more of the petit plats. It's A LOT OF FOOD, and the crust is perfect, the cook on the meat is perfect... but the meat flavor itself wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It tasted like a frozen piece of meat, to be honest. As someone who frequently makes beef at home, I didn't feel like this measured up to its price like the fois and cappellacci. CREME BRULEE // YESYESYES. SOOO good, a simple creme brûlée made perfectly!! Drinks: 5/5. My date and I each got a drink from their cocktail menu, and they were both top notch. He got the Homme Du Monde, and I got the Ride or Fly. Both DELICIOUS and yummyyyyy!! Parking: Unfortunately, valet is the best option. I forget the exact price, but somewhere between $13-15? Would I go back again? YESSSS. And only order from the petit plats menu. That ish was straight delishhh. read more

Wow, wow, wow. This restaurant certainly blew me away. Everything from the exquisite and cozy ambiance to the service and most importantly, the food. I do not have one complaint or recommendation because everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The service was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Jason did an amazing job and was so easy to talk to. He was very attentive but never intruded our group of 4. I started out with an espresso martini that was strong but delicious. My friends ordered some odd drinks I had never heard of (they're English) and the bartender actually ran next door to their sister restaurant, Sotto, to acquire the correct ingredients to make them. Outstanding service. The food was out of this world! I loved everything. The Pommes Soufflées were to die for, especially with that salt and vinegar dip that accompanied them. The beet salad was delicious as was the scallop and Brussels sprouts. I could eat pounds of that Gnoochi Fonduta.. wow. And of course the Beef Tenderloin Boca topped with king crab was the absolute best (my mouth is watering just thinking of it). If you have the money to drop, do it here. Every little bit of the experience was worth the bill. read more

Ambiance 10/10 from the get go. We could only get high top reservations but honestly? Pretty incredible experience because they're the cove of tables with red cozy chairs near the bar.. still private enough and not catching a draft from the door. Just as luxe a feel as any 5 star place, and I think we liked it so much we'll likely ask for that table from now on! Started with the Chef's kiss (every time, never misses) and the martini. Cannot stress to anyone who lives a martini or wants to date and experiment. THIS is the martini. Insane. I had two, naturally. We ate through the menu with our eyes and I'm 90% sure the waiter (he was also fab) never stopped moving his pen. Maybe 8? Dishes we ordered? Bread is lovely but a pass if you want to fill on the delicacies. Any of their apps is fab, we never ever go without the tartare, the crudo, any soup, the pomme soufflés, and the deviled eggs (Euffs mayonnaise). If you get only one, the pomme soufflés. If two, pomme and tartare. Do not sleep on these. We love the Wellington, the pastas are incredible and I can't say enough about the overall consistent experience of luxe, well looked after service. We always have a ball and leave stuffed and entertained. Even the damn bathrooms are an experience, they're BEAUTIFUL. Point is, eat here and you'll have found the best of Cincinnati. Finish with the deconstructed snickers bar and send yourself into happiness. Night folks, thank me later. read more
