Bocci Trattoria & Pizzeria, Durham, North Carolina, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

We had my son's rehearsal dinner @ Bocci. Could not have been more pleased! Food was fabulous, service was friendly & prompt, atmosphere was fantastic. They did everything to make our special evening very special. Recommend them all the time! My new favorite restaurant!

Food:

We hadn't been here before and live nearby, so we decided since it was a beautiful day that we'd take advantage and sit on the patio. I told the hostess we were there and she seated us where we asked. Service was...decidedly lacking. Our server was friendly - but we felt like even though we were two of the only people either inside or out, it could have been more attentive. We actually walked in and grabbed our own silverware, napkins, pepper and salt from the cart inside the door.

We ordered Bruchetta, which was actually quite tasty with a good aged balsamic drizzle and lots of garlicy tomatoes. But in the main course, the pasta was very underwhelming, and the sauce tasted like it came out of a jar. For the relatively steep prices for an entree, one would expect more than that. We've heard the pizza here is good, but frankly, if we want great pasta and service, we'll stick with Pulcinella's.

Food:

I think this place should just downsize and become a pizza shop only. The pizza here is incredible. Anytime we want pizza, it's a toss-up between this place and Randy's. The pasta dishes are just meh, however.

Food:

Fair restaurant. No bread, unusual for Italian restaurant.Had a coupon for buy one get one. Order a salad. Added salmon to it (as the menu says you can). Only gave me credit for the salad. Would not honor coupon on the "combination." After we were done eating the waiter wanted to know if we wanted to keep the fork? I guess if we ordered dessert, we were not going to get a knew fork. Will not go back.

Food:

I live down the street from this place in the Woodcroft neighborhood. The food is mostly good with ONE IMPORTANT exception. I have frequented this place on multiple occasions to savor their pizzas, gnocchi, and pasta dishes. My one dissatisfaction with this place is fairly important in my opinion. EVERY time I have ordered a pasta dish and specifically asked for "Al DENTE" (slightly undercooked), I always get the pasta cooked the same way. It seems this Italian restaurant doesn't cook their pasta to order, they don't care, or they don't know how. None the less I am happy with the quality of the food otherwise. I just wish they would know how to cook pasta to their customers' request, especially since they are serving ITALIAN cuisine.
