I was there on a Saturday night 9 pm reservation to be exact it was packed . I was there for my husband's birthday we were greeted promptly as soon as we met our server I knew it was a done deal he was so passive aggressive and rude it's unbelievable I thought that maybe he just has attitude but once some when some other customers came and they sat right next to us he was so nice to them he was telling them about the special of the day he was super nice to them and we just had to figure it out for ourselves i had to ask a question about the menu we answered me in a very condescending manner i was truly disappointed!!!! The icing on the cake was when we were done with our dinner the people next to us were also done with their food the lady said I would take this to go and the server took their plates and bagged their food for them I decided to test my theory to see ...... I said the same thing the lady next to me had said about 15 minutes ago he came back to our table with to go boxes and a brown bag. I was baffled. I decided not to take the food home anymore. I told him he could throw it away!!! I wanted to get a piece a cake for my husband because it was his birthday but he was so upset I ordered a tiramisu I left most of it on the table I got my bill it was $153 I tipped 15 dollars but just because he took our order and brought the food to us but not for service I would give 0 tip for the service honestly. Please do better, treat everybody with the same amount of respect. Food service isn't for the weak. But nice restaurant!!! At least he asked us about allergies!!! read more

This is a great Italian place in Dedham, a great addition to the community . My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and great with suggestions. I had their special latte gf bolognese, very good. She had the Caesar with a chicken cutlet. We both left satisfied! read more

Tried @zoccadedham last night and it did not disappoint very cozy spot Fried clams were on point--super fresh, lightly coated, and paired with a great dipping sauce. The Italian chopped salad is a meal on its own...loaded with meats, cheese, and a solid vinaigrette. I went with the fresh-made fettuccine in vodka sauce and added crumbled sausage Packed house for a Thursday, so reservations are a must (you can even reserve seats at the bar). Service was excellent all around read more

The food was excellent. The service was very good. The host... Not so much. We arrived in time for our 645 reservation. We were taking a friend out for her birthday. I told the host this when we arrived. We were told our table would be ready in 15 minutes. It was probably a little more than that till we sat down. The waiter did a great job. It took a while for our entrées to be delivered, possibly due to a busy kitchen. At the end of the meal, a host informed us that our one and 1/2 hour timeline had ended, and others were waiting for the table. We informed him, of course, that we were seated late. I found this to be very rude. Additionally, there was no acknowledgment of the birthday, which had been discussed. So basically, great food. But we not treated appropriately. read more

Fancy $$$ & tasteful food, is why on special occasions we will go out and have a nice meal. Eating here has won our stamp of food approval

Not sure I would go back here. Our first visit and we had to send our lasagna back twice because it was stone cold in the middle. We did eat it and it was delicious, but I felt like if you have to send something back to the kitchen TWICE something should've been taken off the bill. Even maybe just the dessert we ordered. It felt weird. read more

We were so excited to hear Zocca opened this year and our first visit did not disappoint! We will absolutely be back. It's a cozy vibe inside, with great friendly and knowledgeable service, and the food is fresh and delicious. The seasonal drinks (Christmas margarita, tiramisu espresso martini) were a fun touch and very good. So happy there is a high quality Italian place local to us! read more

Our second time here , we usually go to molinaris but this one is a little easier to get to.. Food is top notch, Jeff and the team do a great job!! Beet salad with blue cheese crumbles and sliced almonds is. Nice refreshing start. Grilled octopus with potatoes arugula cippollini onions , some olives is awsome.. Chicken parm sandwich is great. His gnocchi is as light as a cloud with a great pesto sauce. I got breaded chicken added on. Make a reservation or your not getting in!! read more

OMG the food is so good! Definitely need a reservation before going reservations at the bar as well but well worth the wait. Hostesses are awesome weight staff are awesome. Very attentive and interactive. Tables are close together, but that's OK. Give everyone a chance to see what someone else has ordered. Loves the pizza oven. read more

Cozy, spot with a large bar. Food was very good. Garlic bread was one of the better ones. Really well seasoned. I order Caesars everywhere and would come back for this one. Hubby enjoyed his pasta dish. Great addition to town! read more

The food is great, amazing. The service... ehhh, I find it odd that the bartender allowed us to put in a dessert order just to send the manager over while we were eating it to tell us we had overstayed the time limit and could take the rest of our dessert to go. The bartender should have said something as we ordered, not sent the manager over after the food came out. Very odd approach. read more

The bartenders were amazing! Let me start with that and the apps were delish. Worth the cost? Perhaps not but good nonetheless. Then we ordered pizza - one was good (slightly burnt, but good). The second one was so burnt, we sent it back twice!! And finally cancelled it from our order. The manager came over and apologized and told us the reason behind the burning. Then he said he'd comp a drink to make up for the issue (I mean sending back burnt pizza twice?!?!?! And finally cancelling it??). And then instead of comping drinks we'd ordered (which feels like the right thing to do), he gave us shots of limoncello and was just like yup that's what we do cos we're Italian. Whole thing felt obnoxious and left a bad taste in my mouth (we go to Italy atleast once a year, we know ITALIAN). Have to say - we sat at the bar and the bartenders were awesome! read more

Phenomenal experience all around. You walk in through this large, leather padded door, and feel transported to a restaurant in the heart is Italy! Service was impeccable right from the minute we sat down, and everyone was polite and friendly. We tried the meatballs, which were superb - and pictured here is the Burrata pizza...with a local pesto underneath and a bit of olive oil drizzled on top, this was a delicious dinner choice! Surprisingly light, too. We finished with tiramisu, which was so lovely and just perfectly done in my opinion. Fluffy, light, creamy, chocolatey, all of the above. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

First of all, the food here was fantastic! I had the linguini and clams which all tasted so fresh. We also got the margherita pizza which was clearly homemade and flavorful. The service was a little odd, we were the only people there and sat in an uncomfortable spot. Food and drinks also were taken from our table before us being finished. Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend! read more

First time here and had a great experience. Got the pesto gnocchi with a chicken cutlet. It definitely surpassed my expectations. Also got a brussel salad with chicken, and some garlic bread with cheese that were also excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful. A tad on the pricey side, but worth it. Will be returning. read more

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere., I would recomend the restaurant very highly.

Food was good. Server was good and attentive. My issues with this restaurant have to do with the Host and Hostess who appeared to be frazzled with the number of people entering and lining up at the door for the evening meal. There wasn't any greeting whatsoever and we were seated at a table that was one of at least twelve that are small and too closely situated for comfort. We requested a different table and the response was cool and not at all cordial. We overstayed the ninety minute dining allotment by ten minutes and I believe other reviewers when they recount stories of being asked to leave. This is uncomfortable for patrons and I would suggest that perhaps Zocca should relieve the anxiety of the Host and Hostess and consider a relaxed dining experience for patrons by eliminating reservations and seating people on a first come first served basis. That, and scaling back the number of small cramped tables in the restaurant for the customers enjoyment and the waitstaff ease in serving. read more

We made a reservation and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. Zocca came highly recommended and the reviews looked great. They seated us in the worst seat in the building. Next to the bathrooms at the end of the room. Waited for drinks, our waiter switched jobs after we ordered and became the bartender. We didn't see him again. Food was cold when it came out because all of the help was standing around (including the manager) and apparently they didn't have food runners. The bartender forgot he was our waiter (we had reservations for the love of god). Tried to order another beer and they didn't have another one that was cold. Decided on a mixed drink and that never came. We finally asked the young girl who was putting forks and knifes in the napkins if she could help get us the check and something to put the leftovers. I think she had to ask permission since she was not a waitress. Food sucked by the way. The reviews on Yelp must be self submissions by the manager. read more

What a great find! We stopped by for dinner one night. We sat at the bar and had fantastic cocktails. The food was excellent. When one of our selections was not available the chef came out of the kitchen to let us know and suggest replacements, which weren't even on the menu. It was a wonderful choice. We are definitely going back. read more

Another delicious dinner! We were part of 5!! Service and food was excellent as always!

Another triumph by Jeffrey Cincotta! Molinari's Pizzeria has been a family favorite for over a decade. When chef opened Ravello in Watertown we became instant fans. Now Zocca of Dedham has become our date night spot! If you're looking for real, authentic Italian, look no further. Just spectacular! read more

Great neighborhood Italian place. It was hopping. Nice meal however some things were great and some not as great. The pizza looked amazing and I'd go back to try that. read more

Great prices, great bartenders, and a coconut martini that could convert anyone. The food was a little bland for my taste -- the wood fired garlic potato pizza and bolognese both played it safe -- but the place has a loyal crowd and we still had a really nice Friday night. read more

I've been here for both lunch and dinner. Have also ordered take out. Have sat at bar and at regular table. I guess you can tell I'm a fan?? The pizza is great. The service is great. Loved the meatball sub. Love the salads. A real gem. Make sure you make a reservation as they are always packed to the brim. read more

I have been twice now and the food and drinks are outstanding! Service can be rocky, hopefully they are working on that.

Really good takeout but I bet it just wasn't as enjoyable I as it would be eating there! I want to get a chance to sit down, but the seafood is top notch I had mussels and gnocchi. Good location too, glad to see they got set up on Google Merchant services and all that good stuff after I first inquired . The waitstaff when I dropped in the first or second week was very professional and the ambiance is like Michelin level to a blue collar s***head like me but with a sports bar "fusion" for Dedham read more

We absolutely loved our dinner at Zocca. The bruschetta appetizer and Caesar salad to start were delicious. We tried the burrata pizza and the sole piccata (swapped potatoes for rigatoni pasta thanks to our waitresses recommendation) and both were 10/10. Everyone from the host stand to the wait staff were so kind and friendly. A great addition to Dedham. We will definitely be back!! read more

Very Uptight. I just stopped in to get a beer and a pizza to go. The hostess said you can sit at the end of the bar for 50 minutes until the next reservation. So the end of the bar is near the entrance to the kitchen and the door kept opening and hitting me in the shoulder. Not very handicapped accessible!! read more

Food was delicious service was very kind. Especially the wood fire wings. I will be going back to try more items on the menu

My wife and I had dinner at Zocca last evening. It was nice and warm on a chilly, snowy evening. The ambience was very nice. Northern Italian cuisine was delicious. Service was excellent. We arrived early before it got very busy. read more

Do not sit at the bar without a reservation. Well traveled and never heard of such a thing. Ordered a drink, rude host came over and said we "snuck in" and would have to leave after finishing are drinks. Needless to say, we left insulted and embarrassed with a few choice words. Avoid this place at all cost! read more
