la bocca urban pizzeria & wine bar is a new, exciting, and unique restaurant located on mill avenue in tempe arizona. if you're looking for aplacewith great food and a nice glass of wine then you should definitely head to la bocca.
the décor is very chic and even the tableware is elegant. there is an outdoor patio, which is great if you enjoy people-watching and, during this time of year, arizona's perfect weather. the restaurant is dimly lit and has floor-to-ceiling windows. each table has a candle. there is a bar and lounge area and many tables to sit at depending on what you prefer.
the bruschetta planks, which are $12 and come with four in an order, are a great appetizer to start with. the hard part is choosing only four because they all sound great. the mediterranean plate is also a great thing to start out with. it comes with hummus, babaganoush, and house made flat bread.
i'm not lying when i say their pizza is the best i've ever tasted. they have seven different pizzas to choose from, or you can build your own. the pizzas are fairly large and are more than enough for one person. you can definitely tell the difference between the quality of la bocca's pizza and other pizza joints across arizona. la bocca uses fresh ingredients and gives you a wide variety of toppings to choose from.
although i've never tried their sangria, i hear it's amazing. they also have 4 peak's kiltlifter on draft, and it is ice cold. the beers are all reasonably priced, but the wine is a little expensive.
overall, i would highly recommend thisplaceto anyone. if you're looking for aplacewith a cool and comfortable atmosphere, great food, and fantastic service then you should go to la bocca. you won't regret it!
