Drinks first: my slightly dirty martini was made exactly right. My friend went with cosmo and it was equally on point. Whoever is behind that bar has their act together. Then the food happened. We started with grilled bread with an EVOO, agave, and chile dip -- sounds simple, ate like a statement. The char on the bread, the heat and sweetness of that dip. Good sign of things to come. Main event: shrimp and grits. Guinea flint grits, spicy red sauce, sage, stock. I don't say this lightly -- this is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The grits were creamy and rich, the sauce had real depth and heat, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The whole bowl just worked on every level. Dessert: goat cheesecake with pistachio dust and berry compote. Tangy, creamy, not too sweet, and that pistachio dust on top was a perfect finish. We cleared the plate.

The restaurant was so inviting with a mural of Italy with a Vespa and other coffee imagery. They played Italian music. They also sell pizza, gelato, coffee, cakes and canolis.

I am puzzled how there are so many great reviews for this establishment. I arrived at the top of…read morethe lunch hour and while there were a few getting take out, there was no one eating in. Should have been my first clue. The pizzas in the display case all looked enticing (although nothing labeled or priced) and I decided to get a Gramma slice along with the eggplant special listed for the day. I also got the ricotta/spinach bread showcased in the display case. I asked if the eggplant was a platter or a grinder/sandwich, and was told it was a sandwich. Great. Well, there was no grinder, no Italian bread, roll, but what looked to be either pizza or calzone dough made into bread like slices. Interesting. The taste wasn't great and it was difficult to pick up to eat without all falling apart, so I decided to remove the top piece of "bread" and eat it with a fork and knife. There was 1 piece of eggplant, 1 piece on each sandwich half. One. Eggplant Parm is cooked and then the slices layered, and usually there are at least 3-4 layers, but not this. The eggplant had many seeds in it indicating the eggplant is past its prime-not the freshest -and the seeds add a bitter taste. Not pleasing. Gobs of cheese atop the bread, but no Parmesan detected. The ricotta spinach was an inedible unappetizing mess of stringy cheese and overcooked spinach. The Gramma slice was ok but I would not return for this. The decor is great and the service was fine, but the food was not good and ended up in the garbage! Ugh! On street parking in downtown Bridgeport. I will not be returning nor recommending.

Come for the views, stay for the vibes! Boca Oyster Bar really delivers on the outdoor vibes. While…read morethe food was good, it didn't quite hit that "knock-your-socks-off" that makes you crave a return trip just for the menu. That being said, our service tonight was excellent and completely on point. I'll definitely be back to enjoy a drink by the water and soak in the scenery.

First impression, there was someone smoking weed in the parking lot. Fine if that's what they want to do, but not the place for it. I walked in the restaurant, stood by the "wait to be seated" sign for a few minutes, then decided to go to the bathroom. Came out, waited again for about 10 minutes, bartender saw me and just turned his back. So, obviously, this place is not for me.

The sausage is pinched and they add fennel That's so important and they nail it! OK, The less than great (but can easily be better): the sauce... don't get it "regular"... the pizza is dry. But, order "extra sauce" and the pizza is still dry. It's a disappointment. For you review readers, the dryness makes me not want to eat here again. It's a big deal for me. I guess we need to order extra-extra sauce and maybe we'll have the proper balance? In all, despite my areas for improvement to make it USA-class, I do like it. If you are on the fence, I believe you should 100% go without hesitation. It's great pizza, but heed my advice to get their very best (which IS the very best) in this area.

Heard that they are also going to make pizza and I'm excited to check that out next. Phenomenal place run by even better people. Definitely check it out when you're hungry for a good sandwich. If you love, pickles, you will love the pickle sandwich even more! I saw it being ordered while I was there and the customer raved about it. So that's definitely on my "to try" list next.

My parents were in town so I decided to take them for lunch. The place was empty so finding a booth was not a problem. The dining room is exactly how I remember from the 90's. The young lady taking care of us was quick and attentive. We ordered a large half cheese and sausage pizza. It brought back great memories but the crust was a bit limp. I prefer a crispy crust. Ultimately it wasn't great but. Or was it bad. The best part about the experience was that we got to see several friends we had not seen in quite sometime.
