We stopped by for lunch, after seeing it posted on instagram, and enjoyed the 2 slices of pizza, the Burrata caprese salad and the banana foster and tiramisu desserts too! Will definitely come back to try more of their tasty menu! Great staff too! read more

So after about 20 minutes of sitting in this spot I realized it used to be V.Millers. We randomly picked it after scanning yelp for a lunch spot we had not been to. We got the potato salad (pretty good) and the roast beef dip. We shared a table with another couple as the place was pretty packed but also grabbed a few bites of the pasta salad. That was ok.. a little too salty for me but the Roast beef was on point. It was sweet. I think its the peppers they added. Very good flavors though. I ended up asking the dude how long they been around, I guess they've just opened up like 5 weeks ago. Pretty solid sandwich. They had a bunch of items I wanted to try like the bread pudding and pretty much everything in the cold case looked interesting. Ill be back. read more

Cozy Italian spot nestled in East Sac's Little Italy! Staff was so kind and attentive, despite being so busy! They did let us know that the meatballs were pork, so we tried the papardelle...amazing. Fresh made pasta is always a win! They sell out of a lot so I would recommend arriving early if you've got your heart set on something! I love that they decorated for Fall, love the eclectic plates; my one gripe is that I wish the silverware was a bit cleaner. Otherwise an amazing little spot in a very walkable neighborhood! read more

Bocce, bocce, bocce.... What am I gonna do with you? Probably keep coming back. This Italian neighborhood style setup is a very good feel for the area. Picked up some lunch for the family: A few slices of pizza (ricotta and meatball), the Porchetta sandwich, and the chopped sausage sandwich. Each single item was great in its own right. The pizza: ny style, thin crust, quality toppings, flavorful sauce that was neither too sweet or too acidic. Good toothsome pull to the dough. Certainly one of the better pies in Sacramento at this moment. The porchetta: very rich, thin slices of porchetta that were both crunch and velvety soft, a bit of sweetness added to the sandwich to help cut through the delicious fattiness of the pork, served in a ciabatta roll. Side note: All of the bread here is amazing. If the chef isn't making them in house, he needs to keep a great relationship with his baker because the bread is all fire. While everything was great, the chopped sausage stood a bit taller than the rest. The seasoning on the Italian sausage was at a 10. This sandwich is a flavor bomb in your mouth. The seeded roll was a bit denser to help keep the sandwich together. Truly a flagship sandwich. I will def come back and explore more of the pastas and deli case items next time. read more

I'm glad there's finally a new business in this spot and even more excited that it's an Italian restaurant with quick eats and hand made pasta. It is a small location, but they have a few tables inside as well as the opportunity to order items to go, including pre-made items in their cold case. They have pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and cold case items like pasta salad, sauces, olives, and more. I ended up getting the Caesar pasta salad ($13), a slice of meatball pizza ($6), and a slice of Summer Squash pizza ($5.50). I took my order to go and while the pasta salad was ready to go, they made sure I got nice fresh slices of pizza so they took a little bit (but not long). Both pieces of pizza were delicious, I'd highly recommend the meatball one. The meatball was really flavorful! The pizza is thin and foldable and the slices were a nice size. Two slices and a pasta salad is a perfect meal for two! The pasta salad was light and delicious and they gave me a container of croutons as well as a little side of sardines (they asked if I would like them before giving them to me) to go with the Caesar pasta salad. I'm excited to return to try their sandwiches and some of the other pasta dishes they offer. read more

Really happy they took over the old VMiller Meats place. I got their Alfredo sauce and meat sauce and both were great! A little small of a sauce, maybe wish we got a little larger jars but it was amazing. The Spicy Meatball pizza was HEAVEN. The sauce they put on top paired with the tasty meatballs was spectacular. I also got their Roast Beef Dip sandwich and it was good. The jam on it was sweet, mixed with the pepper and the thinly sliced roast beef which came all together with the dip. read more

We came to check out the new Bocce Ristorante. We were happy to find that they have a few tables inside (2 tables for 4 and 3 tables for 2). Staff were friendly and helpful with choosing menu items. We had the chopped sausage sandwich, a slice of meatball pizza, and a slice of squash pizza. Sorry, we were too excited to eat and forgot to take pictures of the food. The sausage sandwich was really good. The chopped sausage made it easier to eat. The combination of ingredients was delicious. The roll was also very good. The pizza dough was chewy with a savory flavor. The meatball was tasty. They summer squash was thinly sliced, but I could not tell it was there. The cherry tomato halves were a nice pop of sweet. Several people came in for take out while we were there. Some had been to their pop-ups and asked for specific items. There is a deli case with pre-made pasta, sauces, salads, and dessert items. We decided to get the peanut butter chocolate tiramisu and banana foster panna cotta togo along with some roasted green olives. The green olives were okay. The tiramisu were interesting. The peanut butter layer might have been mixed with mascarpone? It's a little firmer than the rest of the dessert. It was very tasty and I would eat it again. The panna cotta came with diced dehydrated bananas in a separate cup. It all went well together. All in all we enjoyed this new place and can see us returning to dine-in or pickup some items for meals at home. read more

On a Sunday afternoon, my dad, my husband, and I decided to check out the new kid in East Sac - Bocce Ristorante. It was shortly after their soft opening so they were still working out a few kinks, but we decided to try their advertised "Sunday dinner". This included prosciutto wrapped chicken and sausage with grilled zucchini and whipped feta. It also came with a side order of breadsticks. For good measure, we also placed an order for one of their spicy pizzas. The food came out relatively quickly and was packaged neatly for us to take home to enjoy. There is limited indoor seating, but we did not mind taking it to-go. We all agreed that the food was tasty, but perhaps there are other menu items that we should have tried. I am considering this a placeholder review until I have the opportunity to go back and try some of the dishes they seem a little more known for - such as the chicken Parm sandwich and some of their fresh pasta. The pizza was probably our favorite part of the meal, but the whipped feta and grilled zucchini just did not translate as a takeout item and left us underwhelmed. All in all, I am happy to see the space being utilized and look forward to giving Bocce another chance. read more

We tried Bocce for the first time today and were blown away. The staff was friendly and the food was great. You walk into a small delicatessen-style space with an open kitchen in back, where they were making fresh homemade pasta. There's a little deli case stocked with salads, sides, and desserts. We ordered the chopped sausage sandwich, the chicken smash parm, and panna cotta for dessert. Everything was fantastic, but I have to stop and talk about the chicken smash parm. Between slices of fresh bread are not one but two smashed chicken patties, smothered in a delectable sauce. The chopped sausage was good, but I could eat the chicken smash parm for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We'll be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. read more

Fantastic. Only sampled the porchetta + smashed chicken parm sandwiches(grilled), but they were both stellar. If this quality is maintained beyond the soft launch, I will be a frequent enthusiastic repeat customer. They have very few tables so don't be surprised if you might need to takeout. Didn't manage a photo with the chicken Parm sandwich but note that it's a grilled chicken patty version. Porchetta dip was extremely tasty. read more

Happy to have another Italian option in the neighborhood! Pizza was well made. Dining companion and I wanted a late bite and both had a slice of the summer squash pizza, which was not soggy in any way. Often on a vegetarian pizza the veggies release water making pizza soggy/undercooked. Those slices held their own as the veggies were sliced very very thin. Cheese was of good quality and crust a bit crunchy, which I like. Dining companion would have preferred the meatball, but though it was on the menu by the slice, they would only make a whole pie. It was still an hour before closing, so I understand why they did not want to make a whole pie to perhaps only sell one slice. But it made me think if they had no slices left or just one, I may have had to cross the street to get dinner, Kwim? Liked the fresh salad with fennel and apple and pepper dressing. Might be a bit spicy for some. read more

This restaurant has really flavorful food and really friendly staff and awesome service. We had slices of the squash pizza and it was so delicious. It had a couple of kinds of cheese on it and the crust was really amazing. We also had a green salad with shaved parmesan cheese on top. So good! No children's menu available though. Highly recommend checking it out! We went around 11:15 am on a week day. There was no wait when we arrived but by the time we left around noon the dining room was full. They only have about 6 or 7 tables. read more

The best slice of pizza I have ever had! And veggie at that - has the perfect crust and was just so good! Also ordered a chicken parm sandwich and also really great. Will definitely be a go to place for us being within 10 minutes drive. Just a few tables inside and there were some open while I waited for my order. Tempted to grab dessert, olives, sauces and salads from the to go case. Kudos for being brand new and off the charts from the start. read more

This is definitely one of the best new Italian spots. The chefs really put in a lot of thought into their dishes and the passion shows in the flavors, specifically sourced products (talked with the owners) and homemade pasta noodles! The prices are reasonable for the quality they serve. HUGE pizzas! (Saw a lot of people grabbing those to take home) We all ordered and shared sandwiches one of the times and they were all fire I've come back a couple times for their pop-ups on the weekends and definitely am hooked. They also have a lot of great choices for takeout. They change up their Family dinners too. Highly recommend the deviled eggs (they change out the flavors too). Meat sauce is thick and tender. Just cooked some last night. Some of the things my family and I ordered and shared: -The lasagna (amazinggg, my favorite) -Their meatball pizza -Any of their handmade pastas! (Capparelle) -Crespelle (peach sauce was so good with the savory crepe - we had to get another to go!) -Crispy Pork belly sandwich -Beef Dip Sandwich read more

Delicious everything! We tried two sandwiches, pizza,and a salad. Creative and robust flavors. Family friendly atmosphere, and wonderful service. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Bocce bocce bocce. Well what can I say-I will certainly be back for that spicy sausage pizza. The deviled eggs were good as well. I didn't try the chicken salad sandwich but my mom said it was great-especially the house made bread it was on. As a massive fan of V. Miller I was devastated when it closed; I can say that Bocce has filled the space and I hope that it is here to stay. read more

Maybe I just have bad luck, but a completely burnt bun and then staff not really caring means I won't be back. How can you not offer to remake this? read more

We had the best two sandwiches ever. The roast beef dip was insanely great. Lots of tender, tasty beef, some peppers, sauce, and a little onion jam gave it a rich, teasingly sweet aftertaste. A nice roll, with a little crunch but not chewy. Just perfect The chicken parm was equally great. Two large pieces of pounded, seared chicken just melt in the mouth chicken in a delicious Italian sauce with a perfect burger shaped bun. A little crust but nice and soft. Back today again, the two sandwiches were identically made, and identically delicious. I just have to caution you if you want a dry sandwich no drips this is not your place. They are little messy they supply some extra napkins, I'm thinking, if they make literally the best sandwiches we've ever eaten their pizza will be pretty good. So along with our two sandwiches I said let's get a slice of spicy meatball like six bucks. You won't believe me, but it's the best piece of pizza we've ever had. My wife took a bite. She's going oh my God. A perfect thin crust with a light sauce and spotty pieces of spicy meatball. Over the top. Unbelievable. They have a summer squash pizza also and I'm gonna have to try it. It doesn't sound that great but it would have to be. I also had the smoked chicken salad sandwich the other day, with basil. It was good, but not as great as the other two. when you go, you'll see that somebody's eating one of those sandwiches. I say when you'll go not if because you're crazy not to. Nobody makes a sandwich this good let alone for the price. This is a $30 sandwich. The big hamburger style buns on the chicken parm can't even hold the slabs of seared chicken. They're gonna squeeze out no matter what you do. The roast beef dip is piled high, but a little easier to hold onto. But it's gonna drip. No way around it. That sweet onionsauce. Oh my God. I'm not kidding. It's a good idea to have the sandwiches cut in half. read more

An absolute hidden gem! we were looking for a place to eat and decided to take a chance and luckily it did not disappoint. We tried the a slice of the summer squash pizza, pappardelle, crespelle, and the heirloom tomato sandwich. ALL WERE AMAZING. When I want Italian food this is exactly what I am looking for and crave. I 100% will be coming back to Sacramento area just for this restaurant. Also the staff were lovely! read more

Promising. Love the idea of a place close by with ready to grab dinners. Pizza was good, nice crust, toppings were a little sparse though, especially for a veggie pizza. We got the chicken parm sandwich and it wasn't my favorite, hard to compete with one of the most famous sandwich places in Sac just down the street though. Table nearby got pastas that looked tasty. Will try again. But probably for lunch and would skip the sandwich. I assume they're working on a beer/wine license, would definitely make it more of a dinner spot. read more

I love this place! The food is delicious! We couldn't be happier. Amazing chicken parm sandwich. The pizza is wonderful and the Bananas Foster Panna Cotta was lovely. What a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

My new favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant. Both pasta specials were delicious. The papardelle with roasted corn and stracciatella was seasoned with just the right amount of calabrian chile, not too hot and melding the ingredients into creative flavor on the wonderful pasta. The crespelle, an Italian crepe, with fresh mozzarella on fresh peach tomato compote was perfect. They made it without the ham for me, and we loved it Looking forward to Bocce being open more days now because we expect to eat there weekly! read more

Absolutely incredible restaurant with amazing food and people! Definitely want to try the pizza but the pasta and chopped sausage were incredible! Will definitely be back! read more

Best slice of pizza I've had in a long time! I tried the Spicy Meatball; it was great! Took the pappardelle to go, and it was lovely. The counter service employees were really nice and helpful. The place is small, but it's very clean and well-designed. It's a family-run joint, and I felt right at home. Looking forward to trying more! read more

Excellent food and cute inside with tables for dining in. My husband and I split the Smashed Chicken Parmesan sandwich and the Porchetta Dip with deviled eggs.

I had been looking forward to trying this cozy little spot ever since i saw it replace V miller meats. I came in here for lunch on a saturday and it was pretty packed. It's a small spot but their turn over time is very reasonable and it isn't too difficult to get a table. I got the chopped sausage sandwich while my girlfriend got the heirloom tomato sandwich and both were delicious. The guys were very friendly and the food came out very fast. I am excited to return and try their house-made pasta sauces. i am definitely going to be a lunch regular here as i heard the menu will be changing seasonally, and the blend of ingredients are delectable. read more

Pizza was amazing (spicy meatball and pepperoni), service was even better! Will definitely come back

Chicken parm smash was a banger!! So good! I recommend not planning to eat it there. If no tables are available. Go to east portal and watch bocce ball while chowing down on some great food. Service was great. Ambiance- come on now, it's an Italian deli read more

I have a family of foodies with very different preferences, and Bocce checks all the boxes! I'm a salad snob and love the salads, and my husband can't get enough of the chicken parm. The kids love the sandwiches and pizza, and we've all loved everything we've had. We always grab extras from the cold case (braised white beans, pasta and sauce, meatballs) and have dined in and picked up food to eat at home. It's quickly become our favorite, I just wish it was closer! read more

Awesome spot! I absolutely loved the chicken parm smash burger!! Delicious Also tried the panna cotta (bananas foster and one with roasted nectarines) simply YUM. Service was friendly and fast. read more

This place was exactly what we were hoping was going to occupy this space. It's the perfect location for a great by the slice or grab and go goodies.
