Okay so we came in hungry and left HAPPY First off, the vibe was really nice. Chill, clean, and just a good spot to sit and enjoy some food. Cool music playing and people of different ages enjoying themselves. The mozzarella sticks or whatever they were called were soooo good, crispy and cheesy just how they should be. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name ) was super sweet and really helpful the whole time. Now...they did mess up my personal pizza at first. BUT here's why I'm still giving them love...they handled it SO well. They let me keep the wrong pizza, brought out the correct one, AND gave us free cake. Like okayyy customer service And both pizzas were actually really good, (hubby's correct pizza and my correct one) so honestly I wasn't even mad anymore Overall, really good food, great service, and they made it right when something went wrong. I'd definitely come back! 10/10 would eat my feelings here again read more

Beautiful place! Everything on the menu sounded great! We decided to share the buffalo chicken pizza-I went to take a picture of the pizza oven and had the delightful experience of meeting Grace! Who was busy making the pizza! She allowed me to take her picture while she was tossing the my pizza-and the pizza was excellent! Thanks Grace! Savannah was our server, and did an excellent job! We really enjoyed the food and the staff here! I will plan to come again soon! read more

It's a service problem. Food will force me back. But dang service is low brow! Probably tough to make a buck but they ain't gonna make it up in tips read more

Really like this location better than Wellen park. Food always tastes better, especially the wings. Feel like the carpet and the booths could use an update though, also the host check in area at front is always a mess and confusing, sometimes people see u and say nothing sometimes u get seated ,sometimes not. Feels like their staff needs some training guest awareness. Also we Always sit and wait for forever without drinks or once you get drinks trying to get a refill is like pulling teeth. And looking around every single table is almost always dirty right up to the point of being sat again. I think that looks bad. The servers either need to actively buss more or get a busser. read more

Takeout Food was very good. We ordered online which was easy; upon arrival our food was ready and sitting in warmer. This is where things got interesting. We waited 15 minutes while takeout order clerk was on the phone with an apparent difficult customer. 4 additional customers arrived and waited while the clerk researched the menu and was fully attentive to the customer on the phone. When clerk made eye contact with me, I asked if I could just take my pizzas to which she firmly said no and went back to the phone. I waited another 5 minutes before asking a manager to assist the clerk. I suggested that customers at the counter should take priority over a person who is asking hundreds of questions and at a minimum train the clerk to ask for assistance to get pickup customers orders fulfilled. The clerk was annoyed at my suggestion rolling her eyes. Clerk was young and just inexperienced. Hopefully this was discussed when I left. Great food but training of staff needed. read more

Have been here a few times and tried different things. I don't recommend the fried calamari as it is usually over cooked and rubbery but it seems to be better prepared when it's "donatos style". If you're not into calamari, the garlic knots are a must! They are 10/10. I dream about them. I've had a few different pizzas here including the Prosciutto & Arugula, Sausage & Ricotta and the Classic White Pie. All 3 are really good! They have great staff and work well with large groups. We love the outdoor seating area on nice days! Overall highly recommend! read more

Their mushroom pizza is the best, that crust is heavenly, the cheese and melt factor is off the charts, their sauce is bright and tangy, last but not least, they do NOT skimp on toppings!! Gave us too MUCH mushrooms, then again we did order triple, but that's a problem I like to have at restaraunts haha. Favorite local pizza spot. read more

It is a nice restaurant inside, with a nice concept and good location. However, the food and service need to be addressed. We were a party of 4 & told to step aside for about a 15 min. wait even though there were empty tables. The next party of 4 was seated immediately, as we were still waiting and ignored. Cooks could use more training in making a pizza, the crust bubbles should be popped while in oven and ingredients should be evenly distributed, not all the meat tossed on just one slice. The server said they don't have enough parmesan containers for all of the tables & didn't know if she could find us one and also tried to serve us a very burnt pizza. Server forgot our appetizer, while we watched a table seated after us receive and enjoy the same appetizer. Bocca Lupo , you have the potential to be a really great restaurant with a little more employee training, better staffing during busy hours and better customer service. read more

We went for wing night tonight at north port tonight. What a disaster we waited for an hour and never received the order of simple wings. This is the second time this has happened within last month. I explained to manager and he just said " I understand ... I understand." It's a disaster there we will never go back. read more

We had a really nice meal here 2/25 we came for a late lunch at 245 ish pm. Dining was seat yourself and Sara was a great server who checked on us often and delivered our food exactly as we ordered it. None of our food was burnt which has been a problem in the past. We requested my pizza lightly baked with no black and it came out perfect for me. For me and my party- the Big salads are just too big. We only ate half and leftover salad will just go to waste. Pizza has good flavors. I like dining before or after the rush , it's way less hectic :) happy full moon. read more

Waitress dropped our food on way to table had to wait over an hour for food. Pizza was always great when Richie was manager. This sucked never ever going back. Pizza came cold they took off bill after we called new manager to table but still the taste of pie was terrible. No taste at all. Sad we use to love this place and went every Friday. Never again. If you read this review boycott this place. They fired the manager after 20 years working there because they got someone cheaper. Well guess what the place sucks now. Don't go there read more

Excellent food, something everyone in our family enjoyed. Including a gluten allergy. Highly recommend read more

Bocca Lupo - Pizza Near Me - North Port, Florida

Been coming here for about 3 years. in that time nearly the entire staff has changed. The service used to be phenomena. Now, it feels like they are always understaffed, especially in the bar area. One bartender to wait on the entire bar area, including the seating facing the bar. The staff can't keep up. As a result, you have to wait to order a drink and often you get cold food. All the bartenders try to keep up, and do their best. Management is dropping the ball. read more

If I could rate 10 stars I would ! Food is amazing ! So fresh & flavorful. Our dinner was delicious. We had Pizza, teriyaki wasabi wings, Greek salad & garlic knots with a few ice cold brews ! Fabulous, darlings ! Service is top-notch. Sarah is excellent ! She was courteous, welcoming & attentive. The restaurant was bright , shiny & sparkling clean ! Bravo ! Thanks Bocca, see you again soon ! read more

The food is AlWAYS delicious and the drinks are by far the best in the area. Highly recommended.

This place is hit or miss. The fries we had were not seasoned came out first. Then the pizza which was good. Then finally they brought out the wings. Burnt to a crisp and dried out. Need to work on the speed of the food delivery as it took a long time to bring out our food. Nothing came out at the same time. read more

We ordered a takeout order online and it went smoothly. Their takeout window in the parking lot is great so you don't have to go inside. We ordered the garlic knots, a large white pizza with sausage and green peppers, and a calzone with roasted peppers and mushrooms. I enjoyed the garlic knots but not everyone did. They were soaking wet with grease and overly garlic but we kinda thought everything was dripping in grease. The pizza slices were massive but we all enjoyed the pizza. It was great for leftovers the following day as well. The calzone was very good as well and we just sliced it up to share it amongst 4 adults, which worked perfectly. Overall, quality pizza spot nearby that we will for sure come back to. The convenience of takeout was well worth it. read more

Went here 7/26/25 for pizza because they're better than the port charlotte location. Walked in Place had two tables with people eating. The waitress said pick a place you like; all the tables were dirty with dishes, food, whatever. Found a table ordered drinks then we were told that they just stoked the oven and it would be 30-40 minutes before they could make pizza or wings. If they couldn't make food than why are the tables still dirty? We walked out. We ended up at Zio's twelve 21. read more

Love their pizza We ordered the special hand price pitcher from our wait staff. She acknowledged the special. When we received the bill it was not discounted . When told she had to investigate, coming back and saying it was only domestic beer. She said she couldn't make the discount . I said I'd need to talk to the manager . The manager comes to the table states the special, never apologizes ,,walks away. After ten plus minutes she never returns . How is this good business? I look on their website, there is no place to voice my experience. So, they lose a customer ( maybe additional people in our community) Because of mishandling the problem . All for $12.50 . Maybe the manager should be trained in basic customer service: read more

North Port service and food industry sucks, I swear. There is only one decent restaurant in this city and this is not it. My family has been to this Bocca Lupo location a few times and the food is never consistent. Yesterday the wings were over cooked and the alfredo pasta sauce was way too oily and gritty. The cheese has separated from the roux. The calamari was undercooked and no seasoning. My kids said the cheese pizza tasted weird. Do these people not know how to find a decent chef???? The waitress was decent this time. It took me 20 minutes to get my drink and the waitress apologized and said there was an issue with the bartender. Whatever that meant because the place was not busy. Before that, the mozz sticks were cold in the middle, they forgot to put the ricotta on the pizza, waaayyy too much dry rub on the cajun wings making them too salty. I am going to try the port charlotte location or the wellen park and see if we get a better experience but i'm done with this location. read more

The food was excellent but service from bar staff and manager at the Wellen park on the November 17th was extremely disappointing.

I Called to place an order. The girl that answered had a difficult time putting the order in. I had to repeat the order several times. Placed the order around 6:30. was told it would take 30 minutes. Got there a little past 7pm. The girl at the register had a difficult time finding my order. Then when she found it...it wasn't complete! I had to wait an additional 10+ minutes for the salad....while the pizza sat getting cold! Once I finally got everything...7:29...waiting on salad. I asked why it took so long and the guy behind me got his order right away...I was told because I ordered a salad! When I was walking away....They were talking about me "bitching" because it took so long! Is this your custmer service? Two young girls that are clueless and ignorant? Talking about customers as they walk away? read more

We have tried "full moon pizza" night two times. Each time we have been disappointed. Each time we have been there our friends who go there regularly say to us, "it's a little bit off tonight." The pizza lacks something in the sauce, the undercarriage is undercooked and sloppy, especially for a hot coal fired oven. It's disappointing because our friends say that it is usually very good. We may give it another try, only because we like the people who we go with. read more

Love the place... just don't go for the pizza. Very very inconsistent. Accommodating manager, just crap from the kitchen

We've (my wife and I) been here several times. The food is always great. I'm a fan of the pizza. The service has always been awesome as well. My wife and I tend to be bar people. The bartender, Monica" has been on several times during our visit and has alway been awesome. Very attentive and understands my humor. We highly recommend this place to friends who visit from NE. read more

I am a loyal customer as my family looks forward to the full moon pizza all month. This month ( NOV) I came in to pick up my pizza after the quoted time and was treated very poorly while waiting. The person designated to assist me, Devin, really had a negative effect on my experience with the way she spoke to me. She was short, rude and gave excuses for the extra wait, instead of apologizing defusing the situation. It ruined my whole night and I won't be returning. POLITE, KIND SERVICE IS REQUIRED for my patronage. read more

A group of 10 went to this place last night. (We had made a reservation). Eight of the guests received their order of wings (which were good). The other two did not even after informing the waitress about the problem. She said she was unable to do anything even though she placed the order. We waited for the 'manager' to address the problem and have the food delivered asap. The rest of us continued our meals, and finally had to go find the 'manager' to explain why this problem wasn't taken care of. He appeared to not really care about the issue and gave a limp apology . The two orders finally arrived as we were preparing to pay our bills. This occurrence is the SECOND time that it happened. We had gone to the establishment a few months ago and had the same problem with the same response from the 'manager'. We did not expect a repeat of this problem again. We won't patronize this establishment again. read more

Great Food every-time we have dined in and also take out. The prices are reasonable and the waitstaff is friendly and professional

worst pizza...we ordered a med cheese with pepperoni, sausage, pepper and onion...it was on our table in 12 minutes. Luke warm. How is that possible? if you have a cheese pizza hangin around already made...throw on the toppings...throw it in the oven for a few...then serve it...that's how. Again, worst pizza and we won't go back. You will do better at Papa Gino's. read more

I posted this 29 days ago to the wrong location. My first time at this place, I was a little hesitant per their reviews, and I must say their service and food were on point. I was served by the bartender Mandy, and she was AMAZING. She made my afternoon with her enthusiasm and smile (WOW). She recommended everything I ate, and it was perfect. I will be back just because of her. read more

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. My family attempted to go to the Boca Lupo in NorthPort, Florida for dinner tonight, however we were very quickly made a spectacle of and made to feel uncomfortable so we left. After we ordered our food the sever came over to let us know that "some of the people at the bar are complaining about your children." My disabled toddlers were both happy and stimming vocally. I requested she send the manager over assuming that individual would be more insightful about customer service. Cameron, "the general manager," was unfortunately worse and made up some story about how "5 tables have left complaining" as he smirked. Ok Cameron way to be ignorant about children with disabilities and care more about your drunk patrons instead of a family who is trying to enjoy a night out of the house. We have been to this Boca Lupo location many times since they opened, however I will never return. I'm sure your not lacking in customers, this situation could have been handled so much better. I will also be advising all of my friends and family to never give their hard earned money to this establishment. Cameron should be ashamed of himself and the restaurant owners should be ashamed of themselves for being so unkind, insensitive and telling me that I need to make my disable children be quiet because their drunk patrons at the bar are bothered by my children. Glad to know this establishment thinks their drunk patrons at a bar are more important than a family of happy children. SHAME ON YOU!!!! read more

Was one of our favorite places. Today,went for pizza and wings. I've seen bigger wings on mosquitoes plus they were dry and burned. The pizza was not much better. Burnt bottom and bubbles on the crust looked like charcoal. It will be a while before I go back if ever. I'll try the one in port Charlotte next. read more

Terrible pizza tonight. We told the waitress and she offered to have a new one made. We said no thanks. I do wish she had told the manager and they'd have taken it off the bill. Wings good and salad and waitress very nice. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon. read more

Bocca Lupo - The ladies that had to pack up and bring food home from the ice box - Pizza Near Me - North Port, Florida

We just left there. We went to Bocca Lupo because we heard the food was good. We ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and wings. We received our wings which were "ok" kind of small and scrawny. The waitress came over after awhile and asked if we wanted drinks to go. I told her we were waiting for our pizza. She gave us a funny look and said snarky "you never ordered pizza" I reminded her it was the first thing I ordered. She said that she asked if wings were it. We all assumed she meant only 2 kinds of wings. She said that could put the order in but at that point we had already been there long enough. Not once did she apologize rather she was kind of rude about it. We told her to forget it. The worst customer service we have had in a long time. Marylynn was her name I believe. We won't be going back read more

Great pizza and salads. We always do take out and the girls at the pickup window are polite, friendly and efficient.

Pizza was excellent, service was good and the ambience was good. Will definitely go back.

Ordered takeout today for a large pizza. Pizza was soggy I guess from not being cooked- could not eat it was a total disappointment 3 stars for polite waitstaff and convenience of location read more

This a review from my last 5 visits, yes we keep going back. They have great specials and some quality food to go along with the great staff. The wings by far have to be some of the best I have had in a long time. After the first fry they toss them in their sauce and put them on a skillet to finish off in the pizza oven to give them that crisp finish. The caprese is a must every time we go, they add some pesto in the plate for a little twist. The food is always great with some weekly specials. This is a restaurant you don't want to miss out on. Also a great place to chill and have a beer. read more

Tried to have Dinner there last night, Saturday 7pm. About 5 people in the bar area. Tap beer was NOT COLD. Asked snotty bartender for a glass of ice, Talk about an ATTITUDE.....

If you want bad service and warm beer and cold pizza, this is your Place! read more
