    Garlic, Shrimp and crab small pizza
    Lehi L.

    Took family here as we were in town for the Ojai Dance Festival. We sat inside as outdoor seating was full at that time. Greeted upon arrival and once seated. Waitress was friendly. Pizzas were delish. Would recommend to family and friends. Will try again when nearby again.

    Fettuccine Alfredo add chicken! Delish.

    Food's great, service is awesome, a nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. We're lucky in California (and in Ojai), as we're not freezing and snowing like the rest of the U.S. Played a round of golf at Soule Park about a mile away. Stopped in with my son for a quick after round bite. Had two pasta dishes, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken which was nice and creamy, also had the spaghetti with their pesto sauce with a side of their delicious Italian sausage. All pastas were delicious, and their garlic bread good too. Restaurant was clean, there was plenty of parking. Good Italian food in Ojai!

    Indoor seating

    Such a busy place but the employees do a fabulous job keeping things moving. I had the sincere pleasure of being served by Willoughby. He came to the table with a warm, sweet smile and a genuine love for people. He helped me choose the house lasagna and it was fantastic (10/10) with lots of stringy cheese and nicely cooked noodles and meat sauce. It's served piping hot so be sure to let it cool a bit. I had their 4 piece garlic bread that was chewed and soft with melted cheese. (9/10). The ambiance is relaxing, easygoing vibe with nice background music. Outdoor and indoor seating. Authentic Italian style vibe. I had to try their famous strawberry shortcake. I would give it an 8/10 as the strawberries were absolutely ripe and sweet with a fluffy whipped topping. The cake, however, was a bit dry and I only had a few small bites. An overall nice experience on my first night in Ojai. Moderate pricing. Thanks Will for making my dinner fabulous!! 5 stars to you!

    Mushroom pizza

    This restaurant was really busy! The food was good, but nothing super to write home about. It was a convenient place on the outskirts of the main town.

    I love this place. It's heaven on earth, the food is what brings you there, and view and atmosphere are what keep you coming back. This is my families favorite place to eat and we will be back many many more times

    $16 small pizza with mushroom and sausage.  Not very good.
    Truman W.

    Came during 'Ojai Pixie Month'. Had a delightful lunch at Ojai Valley Inn, then went to Ojai Olive Oil Co. for EVOL tasting. Afterwards we all went to Boccali's for some r & r on the drive back because we saw a lot of cars outside and figured it must be good,...or so we thought. The small pizza we ordered (mushroom & sausage, $16), as it turns out, was a HUGE disappointment. The DiGiorno supreme in my freezer tastes better and more satisfying. Also- they do not allow dogs even in the outside patio. We were only allowed to order to go and eat at a bench outside. At least the restroom is clean.

    They have huge pizzas here and good wine options. Both indoor and outdoor seating. There's only one restroom so you may need to wait in line. Other than that this place is a great spot to be. There's a big field area outside and they have wine tasting outside.

    They have location location location. Great place to stop off the side of the road. They have wine tasting. Great little park area to park and relax . The food is OK. Had the spaghetti and bruschetta.

    Fresh oranges
    Tim F.

    Boccali's is a family favorite. We come here multiple times a year, and we always get the lasagna with a bottle of red wine. We also get an appetizer of bruschetta, and then we get the strawberry shortbread for dessert. Lastly, we pick up some fresh oranges to bring home. We've been coming here for years, and the quality has been consistent. Everything is always just as delicious as the last time. And it's tucked away in the Ojai hills, so it's quite a picturesque ambiance. Absolutely recommend checking this place out.

    Famous Strawberry Shortcake
    Andrea H.

    We were looking for a cute place to eat and decided to make the drive from Simi Valley. Everything was delicious and worth the drive. The pizza was yummy ( crust was amazing). Spinach lasagna was tasty. The sauce had a hint of cinnamon in it. The strawberry shortcake is a must try.

    Tiana G.

    This ADORABLE little spot should have MUCH higher reviews!! The food is AMAZING! Service was great! Sitting out on the patio made for an absolutely PERFECT start to our day in Ojai!

    Ask the Community - Boccali's Pizza & Pasta

    Do we need to make reservations or we can just go in?

    You just go and either get seated right away, or go on their wait list, which normally moves pretty quickly. When the weather is mild, there's patio seating not only directly in front of the restaurant, but also in the large lawn area adjacent.

    Is the place kid friendly?

    Yes!

    Are dogs allowed?

    No they are not.

    Can I still order a strawberry shortcake in November?

    No, we were just there and November starts their apple cobbler season

    Is there a limit to how many people you can have in your party? My family consist of 8 people and when we go out to eat, due to Covid, we usually have to sit at two different tables?

    Their seating is mostly all picnic tables set outside. They can accommodate 8 people at a table. If more elbow room is needed, they can pull two tables together.

    Pet friendly on the patio?

    No they aren't, health code doesnt allow it where they are located.

The Pesto Chicken Pizza was a nice medium size - six slices of yummy cheese, herbaceous & nutty pesto, grilled chicken, and sweet sundried tomatoes. A yummy pizza - I personally would have liked blistered cherry tomatoes in it for a brighter pop of freshness. Quick, easy and delicious.

You pony up to the line, which moves pretty fast. You order your food, which will be brought to your table. All the seats are outside, most under some kind of shade. There is a large keg of water outside, that you can keep refilling your glass from. We were with a party of four; however, the two of us had the Pesto Chicken Pizza, which was yummy; however, quite a bit of the bottom/crust was a bit overly burnt -- otherwise, quite yummy. We also had the Fried Chicken Sammy with a Vegan Cesar salad. The chicken sammy was great with some bacon jam and onion. I was given a salad on the side; however, it was not at all a Cesar salad -- so I'm not sure what it was (I couldn't replicate it on the menu) Overall, a good experience; however, it just seemed that the order may have been rushed a bit creating a few too many mistakes. I would still return though.

    The Farmer and the Cook -- Fresh Finds Off the Main Road…read more I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for the first time, but The Farmer and the Cook won me over pretty quickly. It's bright, clean, and has this easy organic warmth to it... the kind of place that feels like it was put together by people who actually care. Right off the main road, easy to find, and the family vibes are real. It's the kind of spot you want to linger in. If you're navigating dietary restrictions, this place is a quiet goldmine. Strong gluten free options, a genuinely vegan friendly menu, and plenty of vegetarian choices too... so everyone at the table actually gets to eat something they're excited about. That's rarer than it should be. The food? Solid. I went with the raw tacos, sopes, and huarache; all filling, all fairly priced for the area. The raw tacos especially surprised me... fresh, flavorful, and not in a "I wish this was a real taco" kind of way. These hold their own. Service was quick and most of the staff had a warm, genuine energy about them. The one small snag; the cashier seemed to be having a rough one. A little gruff, made me feel like my first visit was mildly inconvenient for them. It happens, we all have bad days, but first impressions do stick a little. Overall though, I'm absolutely coming back. There's more on that menu calling my name and an atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down for a bit. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just looking for something fresh and honest... this one's worth the stop.

    A really difficult review to write. On the one hand, decent food, and decent environment…read more On the other hand, very dramatic and poorly managed "community" space. I was poisoned there with food that I am allergic to by a spiteful employee. Management not only never apologized, they never did anything. The results were lab tested. I went over and above to give them a chance to be civil and professional, and they came up a complete blank. So sad
