Description

It's rather fitting that the name of this cozy pizzeria and wine bar roughly translates to "the mouth" in Italian, as yours will certainly be put to good use when visiting. Its list of vino favors exotic reds from around the world, allowing one to be whisked away to the vineyards of Argentina for some Punto Final Malbec followed by a glass or two of Peter Lehmann-brand cabernet from Australia. The beer selection is also of an international bent, offering such Belgian imports as Wittekerke Wheat Ale and Lindy Framboise along with bottles of microbrews and local favorites. On the menu you'll find gourmet bruschetta, salads, sandwiches, as well as a number of La Bocca's signature pizzas.

2010 | Best White Sangria

La Bocca offers white sangria by the glass or pitcher. The bartenders use a special recipe of wine, spirits, spices and fresh fruit, and they're not telling what's in the mix -- for good reason, too, because this is a secret that keeps you coming back to drink more. A glass of Blanco at La Bocca is so refreshing that you quickly realize ordering a glass was a mistake -- and when the waiter returns, you'll be sure to order a pitcher.

I don't think there's any other place like this on Mill. This spot has got the greatest bruschettas, which is good to drink with some wine. I enjoy the vibe in this place, because it's not too loud and crazy.

Love this place; great atmosphere, delicious salads and fantastic wines. Definitely order the bruschetta platter. It can be a pricey night if you do the bruschetta, a couple glasses of wine, entres and dessert, but it's definitely worth it.

If you're looking for an excellent, gourmet pizza that is coal-fired to perfection - this is the place! One of my other top pizza places in the valley. The staff is incredibly helpful and nice. And the atmosphere is great. Good place to take a first date ;)!
