Bocca Bistro 276 Watauga Village Dr # G

An Italian grazing table in miniature form. Our Antipasti Charcuterie Board features a seasonal selection of cured meats, cheeses, olives, crackers, and fresh fruit.

Two heavyweight homemade meatballs straight from Grandma Jeannie’s playbook, covered in Sunday sauce and shaved parmesan. Welcome aboard the meatball boat!

The sleeper hit of the menu — waffle fries tossed in creamy caesar dressing with crispy bacon and shaved parmesan that somehow just works way too well.

Creamy, cheesy, and carrying a little attitude. Our Parmesan Dip combines spinach, artichoke, alfredo, mozzarella, and a touch of spice with crispy toast points on the side.

Call it “broo-shetta,” “bru-sketta,” or confidently incorrect — either way, this toasted Italian classic loaded with tomato, Italian seasoning, feta, and balsamic reduction is worth mispronouncing. (For the record, it’s “broo-SKET-tah.”)

A little taste of an Italian summer. Fresh mozzarella, basil, tomatoes, and balsamic glaze come together in this beautifully simple classic.

A bowl full of coastal Italian comfort — steamed mussels served spicy or mild in rich Sunday sauce or a buttery white wine sauce built for bread dipping.

The calamari disappears fast around here for a reason — lightly breaded, flash fried, and finished your way with mild or spicy flavor and feta or gorgonzola cheese.

The Cauliflower Fritti is out here making chicken wings nervous. Crispy, golden cauliflower tossed in parmesan or wing sauce with ranch or blue cheese for backup.

Some come for the pizza and accidentally become emotionally attached to the garlic knots. Six fresh-made knots covered in garlic, olive oil, butter, and parmesan. Made fresh daily and scientifically impossible to eat just one!

Some mozzarella sticks just exist. Ours are breaded, fried golden brown, and served with homemade Sunday sauce worthy of the cheese pull.

Built for game day and approved by Bills Mafia — our wings come tossed in your choice of BBQ, Buffalo, Mango Habanero, Garlic Parmesan, Rugby, Sweet Thai Chili, or Dry Rub with ranch or blue cheese.
