I was there on a Saturday night 9 pm reservation to be exact it was packed . I was there for my husband's birthday we were greeted promptly as soon as we met our server I knew it was a done deal he was so passive aggressive and rude it's unbelievable I thought that maybe he just has attitude but once some when some other customers came and they sat right next to us he was so nice to them he was telling them about the special of the day he was super nice to them and we just had to figure it out for ourselves i had to ask a question about the menu we answered me in a very condescending manner i was truly disappointed!!!! The icing on the cake was when we were done with our dinner the people next to us were also done with their food the lady said I would take this to go and the server took their plates and bagged their food for them I decided to test my theory to see ...... I said the same thing the lady next to me had said about 15 minutes ago he came back to our table with to go boxes and a brown bag. I was baffled. I decided not to take the food home anymore. I told him he could throw it away!!! I wanted to get a piece a cake for my husband because it was his birthday but he was so upset I ordered a tiramisu I left most of it on the table I got my bill it was $153 I tipped 15 dollars but just because he took our order and brought the food to us but not for service I would give 0 tip for the service honestly. Please do better, treat everybody with the same amount of respect. Food service isn't for the weak. But nice restaurant!!! At least he asked us about allergies!!! read more

Tried @zoccadedham last night and it did not disappoint very cozy spot Fried clams were on point--super fresh, lightly coated, and paired with a great dipping sauce. The Italian chopped salad is a meal on its own...loaded with meats, cheese, and a solid vinaigrette. I went with the fresh-made fettuccine in vodka sauce and added crumbled sausage Packed house for a Thursday, so reservations are a must (you can even reserve seats at the bar). Service was excellent all around read more

Been here a few times and again Friday night. The lasagna was delicious and the fig, prosciutto pizza was a 10. Very nice meal and the service was great! read more

The food is great, amazing. The service... ehhh, I find it odd that the bartender allowed us to put in a dessert order just to send the manager over while we were eating it to tell us we had overstayed the time limit and could take the rest of our dessert to go. The bartender should have said something as we ordered, not sent the manager over after the food came out. Very odd approach. read more

Great neighborhood Italian place. It was hopping. Nice meal however some things were great and some not as great. The pizza looked amazing and I'd go back to try that. read more

We were so excited to hear Zocca opened this year and our first visit did not disappoint! We will absolutely be back. It's a cozy vibe inside, with great friendly and knowledgeable service, and the food is fresh and delicious. The seasonal drinks (Christmas margarita, tiramisu espresso martini) were a fun touch and very good. So happy there is a high quality Italian place local to us! read more

We made a reservation and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. Zocca came highly recommended and the reviews looked great. They seated us in the worst seat in the building. Next to the bathrooms at the end of the room. Waited for drinks, our waiter switched jobs after we ordered and became the bartender. We didn't see him again. Food was cold when it came out because all of the help was standing around (including the manager) and apparently they didn't have food runners. The bartender forgot he was our waiter (we had reservations for the love of god). Tried to order another beer and they didn't have another one that was cold. Decided on a mixed drink and that never came. We finally asked the young girl who was putting forks and knifes in the napkins if she could help get us the check and something to put the leftovers. I think she had to ask permission since she was not a waitress. Food sucked by the way. The reviews on Yelp must be self submissions by the manager. read more

Our second time here , we usually go to molinaris but this one is a little easier to get to.. Food is top notch, Jeff and the team do a great job!! Beet salad with blue cheese crumbles and sliced almonds is. Nice refreshing start. Grilled octopus with potatoes arugula cippollini onions , some olives is awsome.. Chicken parm sandwich is great. His gnocchi is as light as a cloud with a great pesto sauce. I got breaded chicken added on. Make a reservation or your not getting in!! read more

OMG the food is so good! Definitely need a reservation before going reservations at the bar as well but well worth the wait. Hostesses are awesome weight staff are awesome. Very attentive and interactive. Tables are close together, but that's OK. Give everyone a chance to see what someone else has ordered. Loves the pizza oven. read more

Cozy, spot with a large bar. Food was very good. Garlic bread was one of the better ones. Really well seasoned. I order Caesars everywhere and would come back for this one. Hubby enjoyed his pasta dish. Great addition to town! read more

Phenomenal experience all around. You walk in through this large, leather padded door, and feel transported to a restaurant in the heart is Italy! Service was impeccable right from the minute we sat down, and everyone was polite and friendly. We tried the meatballs, which were superb - and pictured here is the Burrata pizza...with a local pesto underneath and a bit of olive oil drizzled on top, this was a delicious dinner choice! Surprisingly light, too. We finished with tiramisu, which was so lovely and just perfectly done in my opinion. Fluffy, light, creamy, chocolatey, all of the above. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

First time here and had a great experience. Got the pesto gnocchi with a chicken cutlet. It definitely surpassed my expectations. Also got a brussel salad with chicken, and some garlic bread with cheese that were also excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful. A tad on the pricey side, but worth it. Will be returning. read more

My friend said this was the best Italian food. Basically I did not like it at all the red sauce was sweet and the chicken rubbery. Go out such high ratings. I will not be going back. read more

Great prices, great bartenders, and a coconut martini that could convert anyone. The food was a little bland for my taste -- the wood fired garlic potato pizza and bolognese both played it safe -- but the place has a loyal crowd and we still had a really nice Friday night. read more

I've been here for both lunch and dinner. Have also ordered take out. Have sat at bar and at regular table. I guess you can tell I'm a fan?? The pizza is great. The service is great. Loved the meatball sub. Love the salads. A real gem. Make sure you make a reservation as they are always packed to the brim. read more

Another delicious dinner! We were part of 5!! Service and food was excellent as always!

I have been twice now and the food and drinks are outstanding! Service can be rocky, hopefully they are working on that.

I had a great experience at Zocca. I waited a few days after their opening to go and they did not disappoint. I move to Dedham a few months ago and I could Not get quality Italian foodI in the square until Zocca. had the lasagna bolognese and I can't wait to go back.. the place was beautiful friendly staff good food at a fair price. read more

Do not sit at the bar without a reservation. Well traveled and never heard of such a thing. Ordered a drink, rude host came over and said we "snuck in" and would have to leave after finishing are drinks. Needless to say, we left insulted and embarrassed with a few choice words. Avoid this place at all cost! read more

Another triumph by Jeffrey Cincotta! Molinari's Pizzeria has been a family favorite for over a decade. When chef opened Ravello in Watertown we became instant fans. Now Zocca of Dedham has become our date night spot! If you're looking for real, authentic Italian, look no further. Just spectacular! read more

Really good takeout but I bet it just wasn't as enjoyable I as it would be eating there! I want to get a chance to sit down, but the seafood is top notch I had mussels and gnocchi. Good location too, glad to see they got set up on Google Merchant services and all that good stuff after I first inquired . The waitstaff when I dropped in the first or second week was very professional and the ambiance is like Michelin level to a blue collar s***head like me but with a sports bar "fusion" for Dedham read more

My wife and I had dinner at Zocca last evening. It was nice and warm on a chilly, snowy evening. The ambience was very nice. Northern Italian cuisine was delicious. Service was excellent. We arrived early before it got very busy. read more

We absolutely loved our dinner at Zocca. The bruschetta appetizer and Caesar salad to start were delicious. We tried the burrata pizza and the sole piccata (swapped potatoes for rigatoni pasta thanks to our waitresses recommendation) and both were 10/10. Everyone from the host stand to the wait staff were so kind and friendly. A great addition to Dedham. We will definitely be back!! read more

Very Uptight. I just stopped in to get a beer and a pizza to go. The hostess said you can sit at the end of the bar for 50 minutes until the next reservation. So the end of the bar is near the entrance to the kitchen and the door kept opening and hitting me in the shoulder. Not very handicapped accessible!! read more

Food was delicious service was very kind. Especially the wood fire wings. I will be going back to try more items on the menu

The food was good, but there was a 25-30 minute gap between my meal and my husband's. The staff apologized but only after I pointed out that my husband was finished with his meal :/ read more

Amazing birthday dinner. The food and service was top tier. Ashley was our server and her attentiveness and kind, positive attitude made the night even better. Will definitely come again and recommend to all my friends. read more

The interior is very attractive and bright; but the small wooden chairs for dining are a bit uncomfortable. Noise level is a bit high, but our table of four were still able to hear each other talk. Service is friendly but on the rushed side; they clearly want to turn tables at a relatively high clip. At least they are up front about that, bc the menu itself warns that they don't want you to linger longer than 90 minutes. Food was mostly a notch above average. The calamari was lightly fried with a mildly seasoned coating and tasty marinara. The arancini, however, was so small that they seemed more like cheese balls with unnoticeable amount of risotto inside. My grilled peach and fig salad was good but the salmon topping it, while still moist, was a bit too crispy on the outside. The zeppoles were very well executed: warm, flavorful and not greasy. read more

Had lunch there for the first time and it was fantastic!!! The place is gorgeous! Plenty of seats and super comfortable chairs at the bar. Service was excellent! Caesar salad had the best dressing and meatball pizza was the best I've had in a long time!! Can't wait to go back and try all the items on the menu!! My only complaint... I wish they had more than 1 bathroom for entire restaurant. read more

Simply put Terrible absolutely terrible The swordfish was small overpriced flavorless and like rubber, fettuccine was gross and veal was horrible . They couldn't even get the chicken parm right All four of us didn't finish our meals and didn't take the left overs home . The only good thing was staff friendly and helpful. If u want a really good Italian food do yourself a facor and go to Delfinos in Rossi square you won't be disappointed read more

great new addition the Dedham Square, a well run business that keeps the guest as their number one priority.

My tiramisu martini was amazing but the chicken parm was awful. Very oily and the breadcrumbs on it were charred. We'll give the takeout pizza a try... read more

We were so excited to finally get a reservation and try this new addition to Dedham! They did a beautiful job renovating and adding the pizza oven. Cocktails were great, as were the bartenders and front of house. We had a reservation at the bar. Ordered the octopus appetizer and then for main meals we ordered the veal parm and homemade pasta with clams. The entrees were wonderful. The clam pasta was sooo delicious! I could have licked the plate. The octopus appetizer had all the makings of something delicious. The potatoes, onions, seasoning were perfection. Unfortunately the octopus was tough. We happened to mention this when the bartender asked and was clearing the plates. The manager immediately came over and spoke to us and sent over another octopus. They followed up and we were honest about the fact that it was equally as tough. The head chef came out to apologize. They were all so gracious and kind and attentive. It was clear that they appreciated the honest feedback and wanted to make sure they taught their staff properly. Overall, I was very impressed for a place that has only been open for 3ish months. I'm really excited to go back and I will try the octopus again because I think they are a place that will try to fix the kinks. My only disappointment is that I didn't get to try the pizza, which looked incredible! read more

Finally got in here. Can never get a reservation. The ambiance is really nice, the waitstaff seems efficient and friendly. The food was decent. I went for lunch though so reserving my last star until I've tried dinner here. read more
