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 Pa

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.
