This restaurant has good Italian food - but it is a little pricey for what you get. It seems to be positioning itself as upscale but isn't quite there. Pro's: the main entrees were good- we had fettucine alfredo and chicken parmesan...both had good flavor and presentation. The complimentary bread before the meal was also very good. Excellent marinara sauce... More

We stumbled upon this little mom and pop Italian bistro by mistake. It was a very cute little place. The Candles on every table and twinkling lights made it feel like we were a million miles from Indiana . The food was delicious and our waiter was very attentive. The price was great 3 meals plus an appetizer for $50.... More

We wanted to try a local restaurant for our 21st anniversary and was disappointed. Mainly the food was typical Italian. Nothing to write home about but the prices were too high for the food we got. Granted, we just returned from Tuscany but still...

Thanks to my GPS I was able to find La Bocca and by-pass the fast food. Looks like the local community is trying to keep this area clean and inviting. Good menue to select to choose from and my food was good served by attentive staff.

We were not disappointed for our first visit to this lovely restaurant. We were meeting friends there for dinner. The menu has an excellent selection of authentic Italian dishes. We all ordered something different and everyone was satisfied with their food. I ordered the eggplant Rollatini. It tasted wonderful with just the right amount of sauce and seasonings. The service...

My girlfriend and I came here for a romantic date, and we loved it. The restaurant staff is friendly and courteous, and the decor reminds us of Italy. My only complaint were the flies. Small flies, medium flies, big flies, so many flies. I watched them buzz at the windows almost the whole meal, they bothered me with their obnoxious... More

I love this place! The service is always consistant, with a smile. I can never decide what I want to order because it is all SO good! Weekend nights are always busy but it doesnt seem to bother the staff. My favorite time is lunch time during the week. Never too busy. Food always arrives quick and is ALWAYS perfect!

My wife and I ate here while staying in Louisville. The prices are very reasonable and the food is amazing. The prices are average for a place like Olive Garden, but the food and atmosphere is MUCH better.

my husband and I frequently eat here. It is a little overpriced but we enjoy it. the bread that comes with your meal is amazing and i love the chicken piccata. the vodka sauce dishes are also wonderful. the service is not spectacular but it is better than olive garden for sure!
