Bocatto Eatery and Pasta

Restaurant

👍👍 We just had our first meal at Bocatto and it absolutely blew us away! The service was superb. Felt like we were given plenty of time to order and relax, while at the same time we had our food presented quickly and plated beautifully. Everything was so fresh. From the mashed avocado under the brusche... People often mention time, ordered, pasta, night, meal, service, dish, dinner, delicious, great,

    We just had our first meal at Bocatto and it absolutely blew us away! The service was superb. Felt like we were given plenty of time to order and relax, while at the same time we had our food presented quickly and plated beautifully. Everything was so fresh. From the mashed avocado under the bruschetta to the dollop of ricotta atop my pasta allá vodka. We left satisfied and eager to return to try the next dish - especially the dessert menu!

    My husband and I came for date night and this restaurant did not disappoint! The atmosphere was clean and cozy! The staff were so kind and knowledge of the menu! We had cocktails and dinner and it was absolutely amazing! We had sangria margaritas for our cocktails and they were so good! I like my drinks to have a lot of flavor and to have the kick of alcohol but still be tasty, these hit the spot! The food is full of flavor but not so heavy as your typical Italian food can be. We ate shrimp scampi on toast, a sword fish dish, the chicken Marsala, and a chocolate cake to top it all of with! We both left with happy stomachs and we will be back again!

    The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, the service was prompt, warm and friendly…..but it was the food for me! I had the special of the day, a Chipotle Chicken pasta that was AMAZING!!! And the whole time I was eying my friend across the tables succulent chicken. I will definitely be back!!

    Outstanding! The food was absolutely delicious and the service outstanding. The only thing I would like to see added is bread. It would be a nice addition for sopping up the sauce or just enjoying.

    Pasta, great. Steak, awful. My husband and I ordered the Ribeye dish. We started with the Ravioli app and it was amazing. The marinara sauce is hearty, and the filling delectable. My husband’s steak was cooked okay, but the meat was tough. My steak was over done - which they remade. The steak came back and it was not ribeye, was over done, and tough to cut. I do not feel like they use quality meat. Attached is a picture of the second steak they brought me- you can guess the cut for yourself. There is no clear theme here; for the location and price, I figured it would be more upscale. It is a small place, which can cause it to be noisy and not romantic.

    Charming little spot to have lunch. We split a plate and had white Sangrias which were gorgeous and refreshing but not much kick to the wine but delightlful. Food was tasty. I would say give it a go!

    A group of us had dinner last night and it was great. The service is impeccable and food is delicious. I had the Chicken Alfredo Pesto pasta and it was perfection. Eat it, you will be glad you did. The only recommendation I have is offer more red wine options by the glass. I like to try different blends and options were limited.

    Me and my girlfriend had dinner there last night and it was delightful! Started with the house Italian salads, the vinaigrette dressing was wonderful, tart and sweet at the same time and the salad was tossed with just the right salad to dressing ratio! (Not a fan of salads drowning in dressing 😊) Onto the entrees. I had the filet Parmesan and I added the mushroom sauté. It was mind numbingly flavorful and perfectly cooked. I took a chance and ordered it medium (normally go med rare just to be safe) and they nailed it, pink throughout with a warm red center. It practically melts in your mouth and the mushrooms were so very flavorful and perfectly cooked as well. It came with grilled carrot slivers, not sure what they were seasoned with but they were incredible as well. For my side I had bacon wrapped asparagus and just like everything else, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My girlfriend had the spaghetti and meatballs, I wish I had more to say about her dish but we were too busy eating to really share too many notes! I did have a bite and I will say the meatballs were lovely, a touch of spice and not too heavy. To put it into context, I meant to take pictures of everything but upon receiving the food, I was blown away by the presentation and smell of everything and forgot until I was halfway done eating it. That steak will haunt my dreams for weeks to come! Our server was helpful and patient (I tend to make a few modifications 🙄) and friendly without being overbearing. All in all, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time and I will be back soon, possibly for lunch today… 😊

    Took my girlfriend and myself out for a Tuesday night dinner and enjoyed it immensely. Calamari was so so. A little high for the quality, not quantity, but was hand breaded so that was a plus. I had the Chicken Marsala, and she had Chicken Alfredo. We both went with linguini instead of bowtie pasta. It was absolutely amazing. Service was great as well. We will definitely be back.

    Absolutely Delicious! We loved everything we ordered, shrimp toast appetizer, Chicken a la Riesling and Filet Madeira. Will be back to try more asap! It's a small place, I liked the cozy somewhat noisy vibe.

    I'm a huge fan of small, quaint restaurants with attentive service, and this is my new fav! The menu selection is vast and includes options for most all appetites and food restrictions. Food is made to order and fresh. The beverage selection is also well accommodated with wines, beers, mixed drinks and non alcoholic choices as well. We had the Ravioli for starters (on special that night) and for dinner my husband had the Spaghetti & Meatballs (love the meatballs!), and I had the Mango Swordfish. Everything was well portioned, beautifully served and delicious! Hubs had a wonderful martini and I really enjoyed their red wine sangria (also on special)! I highly recommend you give this Italian eatery a try!

    Went there last night and was a little surprised at how small it was inside. I do give cudos to the 1 waitress that was serving everyone at the 6 or 7 tables as well as the bar. I think she did have a little help from ( not sure if it was a hostess or owner) but I did hear the waitress mention that little but of help messed with some of the checks. I was with a group of 12. So my meal started with the scampi shrimp toast that I got based on several reviews I saw here and it did not disappoint, I loved every bite. I ordered a filet Parmigiano and when the meal came it was totally wrong. They gave me a filet covered in mushrooms. When I told them that was not what I ordered and I can't eat mushrooms, they took it back and gave me just a plain filet with a side of mashed potatoes, still NOT what I ordered. When I say plain, I mean it was plain...no seasonings, no flavor, not even a pat of some garlic butter...anything would have been better. I will say the steak was cooked perfectly and with the little bit of salt I added, was good enough to eat. I was also charged for the more expensive meal that when pointed it, they did discount the difference. I just wish I got what I ordered. The waitress was very nice and if u don't have a reservation, u may not get seated as the place was packed with only 6 or 7 tables. Not sure if I will retun if i am dining alone, but it is worth a second chance as the rest of the group loved their meals and the dessert looked wonderful.

    Visited here recently for dinner with a friend. They stated there were no reservations available for that night but luckily someone had canceled so we were seated at that table. Before deciding what to eat one of the workers came over asking for a favor - could we sit with another table because they accidentally overbooked and people that had reservations had nowhere to sit. In return, they gave us a free appetizer. We joined the other party - luckily it was one of their biggest tables so we weren't crowded. We ordered the shrimp scampi toast as our free appetizer and my friend and I easily agreed it was the best part of the meal. So delicious! We each ordered a main entree also - unfortunately I found myself needing to add salt and pepper to the dish and it took quite some time for the order to come out. Our table-mates waited quite some time for their food and ended up needing to take it to go because of the long wait. I think this restaurant is cute, yet very small. I'm thankful we were able to be seated but I hope they figure out their reservation/seating system better in the future. For one pasta dish and a soda I paid roughly $24. I would recommend for those wanting to try something new that have extra time to kill.

    My boyfriend and I traveled to Wichita for a fun day trip and ended up here for a late lunch. We arrived around 2:00pm on Saturday 12/03/22 and were seated promptly without reservation on a game day. We each got a panini to try and shared a mixed drink. It had the "hole in the wall" or "mom and pop" vibes. It was an enjoyable casual meal in a family-friendly environment.

    I was walking to old Chicago and saw this place. Holy macaroni this was definitely the right choice. They have a lunch special. I order the chicken pesto pasta and received a side Cesar salad for $9.99. I did get a coke which was $4 😬 so next time I may just get water. Still 100% worth it tho. My server was Nathaly and she was very nice and attentive! She is a great face for the restaurant! Thanks Bocatto for a great lunch!
