There's a dining room and bar area which also has seating. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was great. The dining room looks like an upscale fancy restaurant. There is very relaxing music playing. There's even a piano in the corner which I'm sure is used for special events or as a treat for the customers. The food was fantastic. You are started off with fresh baked bread from the wood stove. We ordered the Bianca Pizza and Naples Street Food Basket as appetizers. I love potatoe croquettes and this definitely did not disappoint. The Bianca Pizza is made with fresh ricotta which makes a huge difference. Check it the cheese pull posted in one of the pics. I ordered Bolognese over rigatoni. It was delicious and meaty. Luckily there was a little extra sauce and a piece of bread left. Do the math. Overall great experience. Looking forward to returning soon.

The service was excellent--just like we remember from before. We are planning on going back for Valentines day or sometime soon this winter. Of all the Italian and pizza-centered restaurants in the Danbury/Brookfield area, Bocca is still in the top two or three in the area without a doubt.

Everything we ate and drank was crafted carefully, thoughtfully presented, and perfectly delicious.

Our first visit was so delicious, we had to return quickly…read more Stopped by on a Wednesday. Apparently they have a special for two on Tuesday and Wednesday. Soup or Salad, an entree, and a glass of wine. So that's what we chose to do. Seated quickly by Michael. He is so nice! He actually remembered us from last time. Gave us the special menu and gave us time to think. My husband automatically noticed that the soup or salad option had a third option. We both chose that although the minestrone soup sounded real good too. Like last time, water and toasted bread was brought quickly, as well as our wine (Pinot and Merlot which were both good). Starters arrived next, which we devoured. I chose the penne vodka, hubby chose the eggplant. We couldn't finish so took home leftovers. Food is cooked to order. So we were prepared to wait. I didn't think it took that long, but others might think so in this fast paced world. Bear that in mind. Great food is worth the wait. Also, because in our last visit, noticed how quickly the restaurant filled up, we made reservations for 5pm. If you don't want to be disappointed plan ahead or be prepared to wait. A lot of people love this place so it fills up quickly. So if you haven't eaten here before and want to try a great Italian restaurant, this is it. Oh, what was the third option?

I've come to the conclusion that people in New Fairfield or around Danbury really don't know Italian food. It's a shame That was bad Italian food. The salad was terrible, and the iced tea was bad. My wife had the fried mozzarella, which was awful. I had the gnocchi, and the sauce was bitter. overall, I gave it one star because the service was good, but that was it, but you don't go to a restaurant for service you go for food and hope the service is good I hope they read this and change their chef or their cook. I doubt he's a chef. Later

We did arrive almost an hour before our reservation time, but we were seated immediately. At around 8pm you could tell it starts to get busy. They have a full bar area also. We sat down and we were offered a hot pepper, which I thought was a very nice touch. They also brought out bread and butter to the table which was delicious. For appetizer we ordered the Cesar salad. This is made table side and can be customized. The flavor was good, however the portion was very small. We also ordered a side of mashed potatoes. They were good but could have used a little seasoning, such as salt or pepper. For dinner we ordered the chicken francese, which was served over potatoes and some broccoli/carrots. The flavor was pretty good. The chicken was thick/tender. I just wish they would have put more sauce in the plate. The chicken was decently moist but there was no additional juice to dip into. For dessert we ordered the tartufo, and the ricotta cheesecake. The tartufo was really good. The cheesecake was okay. We ordered a regular hot coffee, and an espresso.
