    Went to lunch at Bocca with a group of coworkers. We had the place to ourselves. They are not busy on Friday afternoons. The guys already ordered apps of garlic bread and meatballs. Excellent choice. We devoured the garlic bread. The meatballs were good too, very cheesy and excellent on top of the garlic bread. My entree was the shrimp fettuccine and it was a huge portion which made me happy. I had to wrap half of it to go. Ordered another loaf of garlic bread because it didn't come with it. I realized later that the garlic bread was oozing with yummy garlic butter which explains the crust. Omg excellent everything. They had a variety of Italian dishes, sandwiches and soups for lunch too.

    bread is amaaaazing (and probably unhealthy, but yolo)

    Every time I visit, I found that the food, service, and atmosphere good. Definitely order the bread with butter in the appetizer menu. You won't regret it! If it's during the afternoon, avoid the window area as one side of the table has a hard time seeing from the sun and it gets a bit warm. I always go for the chicken Marsala. It's made very well! My coworker got the mac n cheese and I got to try it. Although it sat heavy, it was good! If you can, try to find street parking without a meter. Why pay when there is free parking.

    Such a gem tucked away off West lake Houston parkway! Went here for an event but left feeling excited to return with my family. Beautiful design and setting, great food and service. And how about to top it all off, dining in a restaurant with meals prepared by a celebrity "food network chopped champion" chef Justin Turner! As an Italian cuisine lover I thoroughly enjoyed all the meals I had especially that homemade spicy pesto pasta to die for. The meatballs and the artichoke dip were also great and freshly made. My only thing for the lobster ravioli it needed a little pinch of salt to bring out the flavors. But overall everything else was great. The cucumber mint lemon drop was great and for coffee lovers they have a delicious espresso martini. ( even as a non coffee drinker like myself) Can't wait to go back for happy hour.

    We came here for happy hour and were impressed with the food, drinks, and service. I had the Italian margarita and it was one of the best margaritas I have had. We ordered the meatballs and garlic bread from the happy hour menu and the carnivore pizza from the regular dinner menu. All of the food was hot and tasty. My only minor complaint was the pizza crust was not as crispy as I would have liked. I would definitely come back for happy hour, dinner, or brunch.

    A great place to come for happy hour. They change the cocktail menu every now and then and keep some year round. I love the mojito and cucumber lemon drop. The bartenders are great and Trent always remembers our drink of choice and is an excellent conversationalist. Today I tried the burger which was awesome, had the right amount of pickles! I also got the sweet potato tots which were great. I also tried the fried onion rings with the avocado ranch jalapeno sauce. I don't like spicy and the sauce was nice, not spicy but flavorful.

    Decided to update my review! This continues to be one of the spots I visit every few months. Since my last review, the menu has shrunk a bit, and the prices have increased a bit, which is a shame, but the food is still remains stand out delicious. Some of their previous items that were really tasty like the arancini balls, fritos mistos, and the wedding soup are now off the menu. Luckily, you can still order the chicken piccata for dinner even though it's only on the lunch menu, and they will gladly make it for you. Yay! On my last visit, I ordered their special, a Texas redfish with red pepper couli, spinach risotto, and basil. My oh my, it was perfectly cooked and delicious, with a nice crispiness towards the tail. I love how they don't skimp on the portion size here, because I definitely had leftovers! The lemon drop cocktail I had was also delicious and perfectly balanced. The cocktails here are always fabulous, so don't miss out! They do offer a small selection of wines by the glass and a larger selection by the bottle. Service here continues to be on the slower side, so don't visit here if you're in a big rush... or better yet, just grab a seat at the bar. The front of house staff is always welcoming and pleasant. Always a great spot for a nice date night or otherwise. It's never super crowded and noisy, and the natural lighting through the large wall of windows is quite inviting. Will have to try the pasta or pizza one of these days! They look great!

    Happy hour Calamari and spinach artichoke dip with kettle chips.
    Ashley H.

    This was a great place to stop for happy hour bites. The kettle chips were so flavorful and crunchy. I also ordered the spicy pesto pasta and limoncello crème brûlée and forgot to take pictures. Presentation was nice and the food was delish. Nice portions for leftovers. Staff were very nice and attentive. Cute modern inside with a decent sized bar they had patio seating outside.

    My meal the NY STRIP MARSALA and my side dish the BRUSSELS SPROUTS
    Adriana Q.

    Food- ordered a medium cooked NY STRIP MARSALA $48.00 and what I was served was a dry & hard medium steak. It was flavorful but I only had the strength to hack away and chew at about a third of the way before giving up and going for the additional side dish I ordered. The $11.00 Brussels sprouts were salty. I could tell they would be good if they weren't as salty as they had been prepared. Maybe it was a bad batch. I also ordered a prosecco $13.00 Service- subpar. I had to ask for my steak knife to be brought to me. The rule of thumb is to always bring a steak knife whenever you enter a steak order into the system. I keep hearing about southern hospitality, but it's never in the room. Restaurants in this city almost always miss the mark. You can get better hospitality from a Dutch bros coffee drive thru. This bar team gave no personality and barely any warmth. I went solo and sat at the bar, so maybe this played a major factor in my experience. Bartenders might have been tired by the time I showed up. Maybe they had a long shift. I would've tipped more than 15% to the server if they had been more proactive about me as a guest. **Note to management- please do re-train your front & back of house team.** Ambiance- aesthetically pleasing, lighting in the dining area was dim and intimate the way I'd like in a restaurant. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The ambiance was the only thing that delivered.

    Went here the other night and the service and food were excellent. I had the chicken marsala and their meatball appetizer. Everything was extremely flavorful and delicious!

    Susie C.

    Came to eat lunch with my husband after work, I ordered the Salmon with pesto and he ordered the chicken parmigana, let me tell you that the portions are reasonable for you te get full, the old fashioned here is a MUST! The calamari for appetizer is delicious and it is served with two sauces, our server Victoria was the best! Always smiling, always on the lookout if we needed something, so helpful. If you come here ask for Victoria, she is the sweetest! Lovely and calm atmosphere! Definitely coming back!

    The chicken club that is served here is absolutely the best in Houston.
    Marcos R.

    The chicken club that is served here is absolutely the best in Houston. The atmosphere is welcoming and highly recommended. If you want to impress someone or just want to have a good meal this is the place.

    Brussels
    Krista M.

    My husband and I dropped into this beautiful restaurant for a little date night. The place is very nice and the food was so delicious! We had one of the specials which was an Elote and shrimp pizza with bacon. Let me tell you this pizza was absolutely amazing, it was crispy and so tasty!! We hope they keep it on the menu so we can come back and have it again!! The Brussels were so delicious as well very yummy! I had a cucumber lemon drop martini and my husband had a yellow rose beer which he loved. We are definitely coming back and thankful they are in Humble!!

    Carnivore Pizza
    Eileen W.

    Tried Boca for the first time. We shared the 16-inch Carnivore pizza. It was basically a puddle of grease with sauce and toppings. I had to ask for napkins to blot the grease. Server offered to remake it, but we declined. It just would've been greasy again. Excessive grease aside, it tasted pretty good.

    I decided to go to this spot as I had past by and was curious on the crowd. This place is located…read moreat the corner of 1960 and West Lake Houston. Let me start by saying there is PLENTY of parking as it in a shopping plaza at the end. So when I arrived I came a sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender. There was a waitress and she stated I should order a Frozen Pineapple Margarita. It was sweet so probably wouldn't order it again. What I thought was good was there was a lot of wait staff around and the menu was HUGE. It appears what every day they have a food special around $11-12. There was a good amount of people in the spot as the ambiance looks like a typical sports bar. Currently it's hot but there is a patio outside that I plan to take advantage of later in the fall. I sat at the bar and order a six piece battered wing which was around $8-9. The flavors were barbecue and lemon pepper. I enjoyed the barbecue flavor as the sauce had a little kick but was good. Now I didn't like the lemon pepper. I think they fried the wing dings and sprinkled ALOT of lemon pepper. It was so salty I couldn't even eat it. I tried dusting it off but it was too much. Wouldn't recommend. Overall all I would be back maybe to get more of a bar experience as I think this spot has potential to be at least a 4 or 5. If you're in the area I'd definitely stop in.

    Want to go where they know your order and upon seating that which you imbibe arrives moments…read moreafter. Look no further, Time out Tavern is it! Sean, Kat and the team remembers your order and have great customer service. The menu here is vast and good, we had Caitlin explain the menu one day and what a well rounded and thought out pub menu. The food here is solid and most importantly is the vibe. The guests are amicable and seem down to earth, it's pleasant to visit each time. They have fantastic wings and an IPA that resonates to all IPA drinkers, I can say, I have drunk many different ones to count (lived in SOCAL for some time) and attended many BeerFests. They have more than 30+ televisions and show mostly sports and some other programs. They also feature a jukebox, darts, a cigarette vending machine, video golf, and other digital bar games that require a tablet to play. This is a neighborhood establishment that values thier guests and shows it.
