    All around 5 star Italian spot! Great for a date night, celebrations of any kind or just a nice meal. The staff were very courteous and friendly. Food was timely, fresh, hot and delicious. We got a few different dishes that all hit the spot. This was my first time here and I can't wait to come back for more!

    I think Bocca sets the standard for service for in the area. Their staff right from the hostess to the waitress to the food runner was kind and friendly. Offered suggestions and a customization for one in our party who can't have alcohol was able to make adjustments to accommodate. The food, fantastic, from the calamari (not pictured) the steaks to the desserts were cooked perfectly, food came out hot and great portions as well. The restaurant was clean, set up properly. The staff should be proud of themselves!

    Another amazing meal. Sorry forgot to take pictures. Steak tips, filet minion and chicken parm. Everything was perfect and staff was very attentive. Place is always immaculate. This has to be the best value in the greater New Bedford area. For just a few fallers more per meal over a chain you get a true first class meal.

    Bocca continues to be GREAT! We stopped by for an early dinner, got seated quickly, menus in hand, and ordered some drinks in a minute. We shared a garlicky shrimp appetizer, and I ordered Apple Roasted Salmon, which came with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. DELICIOUS!

    We are celebrating my mother in law ms 70 birthday, is The Pasta house a good venue ? Not looking for a super fancy but want something a bit special. Thanks!

    I think the pasta house would be the perfect place for the occasion that you described. I personally wouldn't think of this venue as my first choice, but I know that a lot of people would disagree with me on this one. I have been back since my… Read more

    The Nook is a really special place. In my opinion, places like Mirasol are extremely overrated…read morecompared to what The Nook offers. The drinks here are outstanding. The Painkiller is fantastic, especially if you add caramel. The Epic Vanilla Skooma is dangerously addictive - the flavor profile is incredible, and honestly nobody else in the area comes close. The Buzz is another excellent choice. The food is just as impressive. Their linguica and cheese rolls are leagues above the competition, and I'd put them alongside the very best around. I highly recommend ordering a regular cheese roll leveled up with egg, bacon, and their house-made hot sauce. If you enjoy a Portuguese style hot sauce, this combination is absolutely worth trying - you will not be disappointed. The peanut butter cookie is unreal; I genuinely wish I had the recipe. The baked goods are consistently excellent, and whenever they have a special, just order it. I've rarely been disappointed by anything they've made. I used to live nearby and honestly miss having this place around. Their pizzas deserve recognition too. They're some of my favorite bar style pizzas in the area. If you prefer an ultra thin pizza, you might lean toward Dipper Cafe, but it's hard to beat The Meatball Thing, the Thanksgiving pizza during the holidays, and many of their other specialty pies. The atmosphere adds even more to the experience. They have arcade style games you can play while you wait, and the music is always great. If you're into King Diamond or heavier music, you'll probably hear something you love. If you live nearby or are just passing through the area, don't skip The Nook. For me - and for everyone I've recommended it to - The Nook easily earns the title of best coffee shop in the area.

    -ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW-…read more The Nook has great coffee. The Nook has great food- not entrés but café stuff: sandwich rolls, focaccias, muffins, etc. The Nook has old school, retro vibes. It has rock music vibes. It has creative, inspirational vibes. It has quiet, read-a-book-in-the-nook vibes but also loud Donkey Kong-guitar riff-crunchin' vibes; depending on the time and the day. It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!

    We came in for a Valentine's Day lunch with my mom and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our…read moreserver, Ray, was incredibly helpful, offering great suggestions for wine, appetizers, and entrées. We started with the calamari with spicy peppers and salsa rossa, which was delicious, well seasoned and very generous in portion. The Caesar salad with lemon-garlic dressing and a parmigiano crisp was perfectly balanced and fresh. The cacio e pepe arancini were a delightful surprise and quickly became a favorite at the table. For entrées, the scallops with risotto were outstanding. The Chicken Bosco and Chicken Francaise were both amazing: tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, my mom loved the caramel apple cannoli, which paired perfectly with her cappuccino. It was an excellent meal from start to finish, with attentive service and great food. We'll definitely be back.

    I ordered takeout, so I can't speak to the atmosphere or service here. For the price, though, I…read moreexpected better tasting food. The zuppa toscana was flavorful but arrived a bit cold, which affected the texture. (Not necessarily their fault) but it paired well with the complimentary rosemary bread. It was so soft and easily the highlight of the meal, though the butter was quite salty. The chicken Milanese was cooked well, and the arugula and tomatoes were fresh, but the sweet, Italian dressing adjacent sauce didn't work for me. My fiancé ordered the pizza which was also just okay. We topped it with balsamic drizzle which elevated it. Overall, I wasn't very impressed and will likely stick to my usual spots, like Ma Raffa's, for Italian. They also forgot the silverware I requested, which wasn't a big deal but worth mentioning. All in all, I'm sure there are better things to order from here, but I wasn't wowed by anything I tried.
