Looking for a lighter dinner, an appetizer for the table, or something to enjoy with a bottle of wine? Start here.

Our house-made flatbreads are made for gathering around. From Fresh Mozzarella & Basil and Pesto Chicken to Sausage & Mushroom, Four Cheese, and Prosciutto & Arugula, there’s a favorite for every craving.
Pair one (or two) with a bottle from our thoughtfully curated wine list, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a memorable evening at BOCCA.

Join us downtown this week. Patio dining is available, valet parking is complimentary, and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Whether you’re wrapping up the workday, catching up with friends, or simply don’t feel like cooking, our Pasta Happy Hour is one of the best ways to spend an afternoon downtown. From 4:30–6:30 Tuesday through Thursday, enjoy a full-size House Caesar Salad, your choice of house-made pasta, and a glass of house red or white wine for just $29 plus tax and gratuity.

Featured here is our Tagliatelle Bolognese, a guest favorite that’s rich, comforting, and made the way great pasta should be.
Join us on the patio (weather permitting) or settle in indoors and let us take care of dinner. Valet parking is available, so getting here is easy.

We look forward to seeing you at Bocca this week.

When Carlos Cisneros, our Certified Sommelier and General Manager, recommends Pasta Happy Hour, we think it’s worth listening to.

Available Tuesday through Thursday from 4:30–6:30 and includes a Caesar salad, your choice of housemade pasta, and a glass of house wine (red or white) for just $29 plus tax and gratuity.

It’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy an evening at BOCCA—great food, great wine, and a chance to explore some of the dishes our kitchen makes fresh every day.

Grab a seat on the patio if the weather cooperates, relax with a glass of wine, and let us take care of the rest. We look forward to seeing you this week.

Some of the best weekends begin with a reservation and end with one more glass of wine.

At BOCCA, you’ll find housemade Northern Italian dishes, a thoughtfully curated wine list, and an atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. Whether you’re craving fresh pasta, a perfectly cooked entrée, or simply a glass of something exceptional, we’ve got your weekend plans covered.

And if you haven’t experienced the BOCCA patio yet, this is your sign. Join us downtown for dinner al fresco, weather permitting, and enjoy one of Birmingham’s favorite spots for a relaxed evening out.

Reservations are always a good idea, and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Some evenings don’t need a big occasion. Just a great plate of pasta, a glass of wine, and a table where you can slow down for a while.

Join us at Bocca Tuesday through Thursday from 4:30–6:30 PM for Pasta Happy Hour. For $29 plus tax and gratuity, enjoy our Caesar salad, your choice of housemade pasta, and a glass of house wine.

From rich and comforting to bright and seasonal, our pastas are always made fresh in-house everyday. Add a seat on the patio (weather permitting), good company, and an easygoing evening in downtown Birmingham, and your midweek plans are handled.

Reservations available at Resy. Valet parking available.

Start your evening the way Italians do—simply, beautifully, and deliciously. 🇮🇹

Our Prosciutto di Parma with Burrata is a perfect expression of Bocca’s philosophy: delicate, silky prosciutto, impossibly creamy burrata, and warm housemade focaccia made for tearing, dipping, and savoring. It’s light, indulgent, and endlessly crave-worthy—the kind of dish that sets the tone for a memorable night out.

Pair it with a glass from our thoughtfully curated wine list or begin with one of our signature cocktails—either way, you’re in for something special.

Join us for dinner tonight and let Bocca turn your evening into an experience worth lingering over. 🍷✨

Set the tone for the new year with a dish that’s pure comfort and decadent bliss.🍷✨

Our braised beef short ribs are slow-cooked until meltingly tender—rich, unctuous, and deeply flavorful—served over a bed of creamy polenta, finished with a luxurious demi-glace, seasonal asparagus, and artisanal mushrooms.

This is the kind of meal meant to be savored. Elevate the experience by pairing it with a full-bodied red from our thoughtfully curated wine list, selected to complement every bold, savory bite.

Make plans to join us at Bocca Ristorante this weekend and start the year exactly as it should begin—around the table, with exceptional food, great wine, and good company.
