Second time dining here, and let's just say things were...off. Running out of menus for the table, running out of orange juice, and running out of lamb chops. I think the only thing left at the moment is the frozen pasta in the back. Not overwhelmed, I heard ownership changed at this establishment and it has already gone downhill. Slow service and running out of items is a rookie move in my opinion. Save your money and go to Alleia. read more

One of my favorites in Chattanooga! Never have been unhappy with anything here! Veal is fantastic! Specials are wonderful. Ambiance is quiet without being pretentious. Semi-hard to find your first time going, but worth the hunt! Not a cheap night out so save it for a special occasion. But definitely a great date place. Great wine menu. Fantastic service generally read more

They screwed up our reservation, gave away our table. Manager was unprofessional, raised her voice at wife. Wouldn't eat here if they gave me the food. Take your money elsewhere. read more

The food was alright for the price and despite the menus looking laminated and as big as the 10 commandments the experience was decent. However when I mentioned to a very underdressed hostess that the google map system wasn't working and we had problems finding it, as I just wanted to be nice, she gave me the biggest attitude. She then said I could call her manager but I didn't feel like it was a huge problem, she said... pretty close to but having to paraphrase here " ya a lot of people complain to me but don't bother calling my manager for some reason." Excuse me. I was just trying to help and it's kind of her job to pass on customer feedback. After we spent about 70+ dollars on our meal and were treated like that it is pretty safe to say we won't be back. The rest of the staff was very polite though and dressed for the place. read more

The. besssst. Everything was perfect, from our server, to the Shiraz, to the atmosphere, to the most amazing pasta. You can't go wrong here. It's just too good. read more

Where to start? From start to finish excellence. I ordered the spinach ravioli with the brown butter sauce.(fantastic) the tiramisu was awesome. Since living in Chattanooga I would say this was an exceptional find. *may need a reservation* read more

Boccaccia looks like an old fashioned Italian restaurant from the North East. Charming and romantic in its simplicity. We shared a nice bottle of red wine and the Torre Caprese to start off with. Both were good. I had the Ravioli Spinach e Formaggi which was very good. My wife had the Linguine Veneziani which was wonderful. We finished with a great dessert, the Chocolate Mousse Torte. Overall experience was really nice. They had just decorated the Christmas Tree and very pleasant music was playing. Our server actually knew what she was doing which is not that common these days. read more

We had high expectations as one of the top local restaurants but we were disappointed with the food. It was bland and somewhat tasteless. The service was great. Maybe a different menu choice in the future but it will be awhile before I go back. read more

I have to preface this review by saying that I love Italian food, and I'm pretty picky about what constitutes good Italian and what doesn't. That being said, Boccaccia might be the best Italian meal I've ever had, and I've eaten lots of Italian food in my life. I went for dinner with my boyfriend and his parents, who had eaten there once before. If I had been asked to find the restaurant on my own, I would not have been able to. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a lot of prominent signage outside. The door was clearly marked, but impossible to see from the street. My boyfriend had made reservations for the four of us, so we were seated immediately upon arrival. The interior of the building was decorated very simply: drawings and photographs from around Italy. I liked the fact that the bare brick was left exposed on the outside walls (I love old buildings). My favorite decorative touch was a pair of clocks on the wall above the kitchen doors, one displaying Chattanooga time, and the other displaying the time in Milan. The lights were dimmed and candles were lit on every table, which gave the room a romantic feel. Our server was friendly and got our drinks out to us quickly. We ordered the Antipasto Misto appetizer, a kind of sampler platter of Italian meats, cheeses, and roasted vegetables. It was delicious, and really immersed me into the whole Italian feel of the place. For the main course, I ordered the Involitini Val D'Aosta, a chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto ham and fontina cheese, and topped with a reduction of balsamic vinegar. It was also served with a side of fettucine alfredo. Delicious! The chicken was moist and tender, and was really complimented well by the prosciutto and the fontina. The balsamic vinegar sauce had a bit of a sweet taste, and was the perfect sauce for the dish. The fettucine noodles were homemade and the alfredo sauce was great, as well. The fact that the pasta was fresh really made all the difference for the fettucine alfredo. It would have been good otherwise, but the fresh pasta really put it over the top! For dessert, my honey and I split a chilled chocolate tart, which I was too full to eat much of. It reminded me a bit of chocolate ice cream with a chocolate crust on bottom. Again, delicious! His parents had the creme brulee, which they raved about, as well. I would highly recommend Boccaccia to anyone who wants a scrumptious, authentic Italian meal. The servers were efficient and friendly, the food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and romatic. Just be sure to bring your appetite...and your GPS! You'll be glad you did. :) read more

If you want fine dining at an Italian restaurant, this is the place to go. Excellent menu. Committed owner. Warm atmosphere. Reasonable prices. read more

This place was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere was warm, elegant but not stuffy, beautiful music playing, and pretty white lights were strung all across the ceiling. The food was absolutely wonderful. Our party agreed that it was some of the best we've ever had. Finally, it really was not overpriced at all. Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in Chattanooga. read more

Best italian food available in Chattanooga with poor service! We ordered brushetta for appetizer which were amazing, my wife ordered a vegetarian pasta which was amazingly fresh and packed with flavor, I ordered lasagna which for me is indescribable "out of this world" might match what I felt about it just melts in your mouth, for dessert we ordered tiramisu which was too sweet for our taste buds. PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR SERVICE WE WANT TO COME OFTEN BUT YOUR SERVICE IS A TURN OFF! read more

On a date night out, we accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant. Luckily we were able to get a table without a reservation, but I'd suggest at least calling ahead. Cozy place with an excellent wine list and the food was delicious. It was a pleasant surprise! For starters, we ordered the fried calamari which was delicious and cooked perfectly. For my main course I had the pollo picatta. I highly recommend it but it was difficult to choose because so many dishes on the menu sounds scrumptious! read more

Decent service could not make up for "out of a can" Italian. Yes, Chattanooga is not a big city, but this was less than average for any city. read more

Don't visit unless your from around the area. Driving thru wanted to surprise my parents for an anniversary dinner. It was 730 on a Tuesday. There were maybe 5 tables in use. As soon as we walked in we were asked if we had a reservation which I can understand At a nice restaurant. But when it's Tuesday and the place is EMPTY. We were traveling and passing thru as I mentioned so being in the car for 12hrs we were not dressed to the nines and were looked up and down to feel like we did not meant their standards. The hostess walked away for ten minutes to see if they could fit us in. After her attitude I was very disappointed and embarrassed for the fact I was trying to surprise my parents. So we went to the next very nice restaurant down the road. Completely unacceptable. I researched this restaurant for weeks as I knew we were driving thru.......waste of time!!!!! read more

I'd been wanting to eat here for years. A few weeks ago, my husband and I finally decided to give it a try. After driving by the place a few times (we found it, hard to get to at first,) we walked in on a Saturday night around 7:30 and were asked if we had reservations. We said no, and the restaurant looked to be about 60% empty, but they said they couldn't seat us because they were booked up. Ok....so we left. But another couple we dine with regularly had also been hearing good things. So on a Friday afternoon I called to see if we they could get all 4 of us in that night. The guy that helped me on the phone said they had some reservations and what time would I like. I said 7:30. He said "we try not to make reservations between 7 and 8 because of the flipping." I thought it was weird, but he said "I can do 7:45." which was fine. We got there, and while we waited to check in there was a party in front of us turned away because they didn't have reservations. They were told they could wait till 8:15 to see if a reservation didn't show. The dining room was fuller this time, but they could have easily seated that party, IMO. Especially since it really cleared out after 8:30. Thankfully we were seated since we had a reservation. The good news is, despite all the weird reservation issues, the food was AMAZING. It's a meal I think about often, it was that good. The consensus was mutual between all 4 of us. We had apps, pasta, and dessert, all delicious. I am a huge fan of Alleia, and honestly, this rivaled it for me, as far as the food went. Definitely not the same in terms of ambiance, and no fun cocktails like Alleia. I will definitely be back, sooner than later. read more

Off the beaten path a bit in a area not really known for their exquisite restaurants' however this is probably the best, authentic Italian cuisine in the area. The Involtini with fettuccine is a dish we keep coming back for time and time again. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! I came with a group of girls for a birthday dinner, we came in from out of town. Much like the reviews suggested, the food is delicious, atmosphere cozy and inviting - great place for a nice date dinner or evening get-together in Chattanooga! Due to busyness, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. read more

Amazing meal every single time! The creme brulee is phenomenal!

We were told 3 separate times by the owner of Boccaccia (once in June, once in August, and once in September) that we would have no cork fee if we had our rehearsal dinner there, as a favor to us as friends and longtime customers. One week before the rehearsal dinner, the owner's wife decided that we were going to have to pay $15 per bottle that we brought instead, going back on their word. Which would be more than $800 just in cork fees. Then, they both denied ever having given that offer and accused my fiance's parents of taking advantage of them and being cheap for not wanting to pay an extra $800 or so. They conduct an extremely unprofessional and classless business, and their word means nothing. I just wanted everyone I know to know, because we will no longer be customers there and neither should you. read more

While the food was delicious, the service leaves much to be desired. It seems as if people only come here for a birthday as each table had a birthday reminder grossly sitting on the table and there were very few people there and the experience was somewhat boring. read more

Came here with another couple on Friday night for dinner. It was delicious. I must admit, I underestimated this place. I'd rather dine here than Il Primo any day. I enjoyed the entree here (chicken with balsamic reduction) better than Alleia. The appetizers can hold their own. We ordered the carpaccio and meet & cheese tray (this was the only item that was disappointing, it was more like a hillshire farms deli meat tray). The "full bar" is extremely limited, but their wine selection makes up for it. We had a few bottle of Malbec and chocolate torte and tiramisu to end the night with. We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been back to Boccaccia a number of times and the service is much better than my first experience. It's a fantastic restaurant.

Best Italian Pasta I've had in a long time. The gnocchi in white wine cream sauce was amazing and so was the spinach ravioli. The bread was very fresh and the brushetta was fabulous. read more

The orchiette sausage pasta was some of the pasta I've ever had!! I'd go back just for that. The bread that comes with your meal - meh, I'd pass. We also ordered salmon and shared the tirimisu, both really good. This is a fun place for birthdays because you get dessert and pasta for free! The atmosphere is also nice. My only complaint is that it was a bit cold inside. read more

Researched the restaurants in the area to attend for a special occasion, and this one looked like the best option. The food was very good. They were understaffed and the very kind bartender took over our service. She did a great job. The interior was beautiful and romantic, but the overall atmosphere was not conducive to a romantic evening. We had to switch tables so that we could talk to one another. It was very loud. We do recommend the food and restaurant, but I wouldn't expect to be able to have an intimate evening whether a small or large party. read more

Best Italian food. The Orecchiette con Salsiccia alla Piemontese was so amazing! It will be hard not to order that every time!

best Italian place I have ever eaten at. The host and the waiter was awesome. I hat assuage and noodles Andy wife had the spinach ravioli.... read more

We have always had great food and service here. The food is fresh and delicious. It's our favorite for Italian foods. Being able to make reservations is also a plus. read more

Amazing Italian!!!! Service was great and thoroughly enjoyed talking to Luciano for a while. Talking with him is all part of experiencing a true Italian restaurant. If you're looking for true Italian, and a great atmosphere, go here! read more

Excellent service by our waiter,Tyler. The wine was never empty, the bread and oil were always filled, the dinner was great and ample! The atmosphere is perfect for old friends to catch up and new lovers to romance one another. Must try for locals and visitors alike. Expect $25ish a person for wine and dinner. $40ish a person for 2 wines, dinner, and the amazing creme brulee. read more

Exceptional service. Food was fantastic and fresh. Love the atmosphere and environment. Nice and cozy. Great variety of Italian cuisine and the Creme Brûlée was out of this world. read more

We went there this week while visiting Chattanooga. The food and service were excellent! Very authentic Italian. We lived in Italy and we have an Italian son in law who loves to cook so we recognize real, good Italian food. The price was moderate as well! We will definitely be going back when we visit Chattanooga! read more

Took my daughter here for her 21st birthday and was completely blown away by the service and the food was incredible. A great place for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. We had no reservation but were immediately given a table. Our waiter was great, the atmosphere was very nice. read more

Tried this awesome fresh food restaurant for the first time during a business dinner. I will be bringing my wife back to this wonderful place. The food was fresh and amazing! I tried the calamari, which equaled both east and west coastline versions. I had the special: Scottish salmon, thyme potatoes, atop baby asparagus. It was some of the best salmon I've ever had and I look forward to coming back on my next trip to Chattanooga! read more

Very small but cozy. The pasta was very good, the service slow. Wait staff was not very attentive. I would go back again. Hoping the service to be better read more

While the food is acceptable, the service is certainly sub par. After making a reservation, upon arrival we were told that we would have to wait - possibly over 1/2 hour! This with an obvious elderly couple in their 80s. The purpose of making a reservation is to have a table upon arrival. Understand that this is not a precise science but we changed our desired arrival time at the request of the owner - and still had no table upon arrival! Overall, a bad experience, bad service, and no manager or explanation of the poor service by the hostess - who was obviously put in a bad spot by the owner. Go to Alleia's instead. read more

My husband and I eat here quite a bit with our friends. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the service is very good and the food is delicious. I love this restaurant and would recommend it. I love the chicken with the balsamic reduction but I had the filet tonight with the peppercorn sauce and it was also great. I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Fresh, interesting. The ambiance is like sitting in a friend's kitchen. The servers always seem to materialize when your water is low or your wine is near the dregs, but without hovering. The food is the stuff, though. From the salad to the dessert, no calorie is wasted. Boccaccia is a perfect marriage of tastes, sights and sounds. You'll have the impression that there is world enough and time. read more

About our 19th time here.Always great, and very authentic Italian There was 8 of us and it all came out hot delicious and at the same time. Amazing when you compare to some restaurants. Best Italian in the city and very reasonable with a great wine list that is very modestly price. Try it you will like it read more
