Had a fantastic dinner with my husband here tonight. Everything was so delicious. Owner Silvio is the man! Nick was very friendly and attentive. The bread pudding was one of the best we have ever tasted. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time at Boccone South and it quickly became my favorite Italian restaurant in the area. We had a last minute family event of 16 people that included 9 adults as well as toddlers and infants. Other restaurants struggled to accept this (understandably), but when I called Silvio, he was so accepting and so we made the Sunday afternoon reservation 1 day in advance. When we walked in, he addressed me by name and I felt like we were fast friends. He clearly takes pride in his food, service and establishment! As others have said, every dish was better than the next, and we ordered specials which we don’t normally do. Highlights included Octopus (from Portugal), Calamari, Zucchini and Stuffed Pepper appetizers. Amazing Osso Bucco, Papperdelle Funghi, Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Parm entrees (among others) and delicious bread pudding w/ gelato and lava cake /w gelato desserts. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! BYOB.

Visited Boccone south tonight with my family. I was blown away by the hospitality. The owner and staff were so welcoming. Nicole was the most amazing server. She was so fun, made great recommendations and really made the experience great. The food was probably the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Everything was delicious, the rice balls…wow, penne vodka….amazing. Everything was so fresh and you can tell each meal is made with love. Can’t wait to go back to this amazing restaurant!

Tonight my fiance and I had the pleasure of dining at Boccone South for our Valentine’s Day Dinner. The service was impeccable due to our amazing waitress, Nicole. We would go back just to hang out with her! We came to this restaurant for the first time and we left feeling like we were part of the family. On top of that, the eggplant rollatini and burrata were the best I’ve ever had in my life. My fiance got her favorite cacio e Pepe and I had the halibut with spinach and mushroom risotto. There was nothing left on the plate. I can’t believe living in the area for the past 30+ years, I never knew about this gem! I’m almost regretting sharing this, I don’t want to lose my spot at the table!

We were wowed by owner, Silvio! He explains the specials that can turn a non foodie into a foodie within seconds. Every dish is better than the next. Each dish we have tried is full of flavors and fresh ingredients.
Also- the homemade Italian bread pudding is a dessert that I dream about and cannot wait to have it again.

Great experience tonight! We needed a last-minute dinner spot and they were able to get us a table at 6:30 when we called at 5:50. When we arrived, everyone was very welcoming and we were seated quickly. It seems to be a family-run restaurant with genuinely kind people.
Service and food were great. I gave the food 4 out of 5—not because it wasn’t good (it was!), but because while we enjoyed our meals, we probably wouldn’t order the same dishes again. That said, I’m confident the rest of the menu would be just as solid.
We started with arancini—the red sauce was delicious! For dinner, we had the chicken marsala and pasta in a pink sauce with asparagus and shrimp. We finished with homemade tiramisu, which was excellent.
Would definitely recommend!

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area.
Many of their dishes have a modern spin on them.
Normally we don’t go for the specials but here they really are diffrent and worth trying.

I went there with my wife and daughters and was so pleased. Recently heard about it from a friend that said they would swear by it and we are always looking for authentic Italian food with a nice BYOB setting and I tell you the second I made the phone call for the reservation and I heard that Calabria accent I knew we were in for a treat. The owner Silvio greeted us as soon as we came in, spoke to me about where we were from in Italy and really set us up with a nice bunch of specials and choices, and we left so full. The octopus was tender, the stronzopretti was made perfect. He makes all his pasta homemade and you can tell. I couldn’t even breathe. We will be back and this is going into our rotation as go to spots. The Affogato was phenomenal for dessert as well as the pudding cake.
The only negative I can say is that they brought out the meat with the pasta, but I won’t hold it against them. It was delicious.

MUST TRY!! every. single. dish. phenomenal.
my family and I came here last minute off a friend’s recommendation and this is absolutely going to become a monthly if not weekly spot for us. this is the type of restaurant you recommend to others to impress them.
for our appetizers I had the warm goat cheese salad. didn’t even get a picture because it was so delicious I couldn’t stop myself. same with the burrata it was just that good. I am a vegetarian and got the perreochi verino ( I think it was called) and it was actually to die for. my cousin got the crab cakes and cold seafood salad.. everything so fresh.
we also met the owner silvio who is extremely kind and passionate! he had us try his vanilla and cherry ice cream banana pudding. which is something I would never order for dessert. it was no lie the most delicious freaking dessert I’ve ever tasted. I DONT EVEN LIKE CHERRY ICE CREAM OR BANANA PUDDING!!!
cappuccino delicious. beautiful. perfect. my uncle and dad said only Italy could compare to the espresso and his ability to make coffee. we were literally giddy the entire dinner. the food was so good it made us excited. 1000/10 experience. service food and atmosphere perfect. BYOB
I am so grateful we stumbled upon this spot! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

This was our first time here and it certainly will not be our last! There’s something special about this restaurant– it’s not only the exceptional food and service. It’s the people here that make you feel part of a family. Had the most delicious meal. I went with the specials and was not disappointed. All five of us enjoyed everything.
