🍷 Fall w**e tastings are back at BOCCA!
We’re kicking off the season this Thursday, October 1 from 5–7 PM with an evening on the patio featuring five beautiful w**es from our friends at Alabama Crown.
Your tasting lineup:
🍾 Argyle Blanc de Blancs
🥂 Hess Maverick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc
🍷 Pali Huntington Vineyard Pinot Noir
🍷 Owen Roe Syrah
🍷 Bezel Cabernet Sauvignon
$21 per person, excluding tax & gratuity, includes a tasting of all five w**es. This is a relaxed, come-and-go event, so stop by, discover a few new favorites, and stay awhile. Tickets for the w**e tasting are available on Resy.

Even better? The tasting runs alongside our Pasta Happy Hour from 4:30–6:30 PM. For $29, enjoy a full-size Caesar salad, your choice of house-made pasta, and a glass of house red or white w**e.
W**e tasting + house-made pasta on the patio? That sounds like a pretty good Thursday night to us. 🍷🍝

Some things are simply better shared. 🍷
Our house-made flatbreads are the perfect way to start the table—crispy around the edges, soft and chewy in the center, and topped with plenty of flavor.
Shown here: Prosciutto & Arugula—savory, salty prosciutto paired with fresh, peppery arugula for that perfect balance in every bite. Definitely one of our favorites.
And there’s a flatbread for every craving:
• Fresh Mozzarella & Basil
• Pesto & Chicken
• Sausage & Mushroom
• Four Cheese
• Prosciutto & Arugula
Order one for the table…although we won’t blame you if you decide not to share. 😉
We look forward to seeing you soon at BOCCA!

Quality ingredients have a way of speaking for themselves.
Start your evening with our Prosciutto di Parma paired with creamy burrata, peppery arugula and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Salty, silky, fresh and beautifully simple—the kind of starter that deserves a glass of w**e alongside it. 🍷
Then keep the night going. Enjoy dinner with us at BOCCA before heading next door to SLOAN’S for live music Friday and Saturday night—always with no cover. 🥃🎶
Dinner, w**e, bourbon and live music… downtown Birmingham has your weekend plans covered.

A little extra rest for the people who make BOCCA so special. ❤️
BOCCA will be closed this evening, Tuesday, September 8, as we give our hardworking team an extended Labor Day weekend to rest, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved time off.
We’ll be back and ready to welcome you Wednesday, September 9 at 4:30 PM.
Looking for dinner plans tonight? Our sister restaurant, Bistro 218, will be open and would love to have you!
We hope you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend, and we can’t wait to see you tomorrow! 🇮🇹✨

Some evenings are meant to unfold slowly. 🥂
Start with a chilled glass of Prosecco, settle in, and let dinner take it from there.
Choose one of our housemade pastas or a beautifully prepared entrée, then do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. Our Butter Crunch Donut is always a tempting choice, while the Salted Caramel Affogato brings together espresso, salted caramel ice cream, coffee liqueur and candied almonds for the perfect finish.
And with the evenings finally beginning to cool down, Bocca’s patio is calling. ✨ One of the best patios in downtown to linger over a glass of w**e, enjoy a wonderful meal and make the most of these beautiful September nights.
Reservations available on Resy. Walk-ins always welcome.
Valet parking available for your convenience.

Featured here, our Shrimp Scampi 🍤
Plump, perfectly cooked shrimp served over housemade pasta coated in a silky, buttery bright sauce, with fresh herbs, roasted tomato, and charred broccolini. Rich and savory with just the right amount of brightness, this is one you’ll want to get every last bit of sauce from the plate.
Join us for dinner this week and settle in for an evening of housemade Italian favorites, great w**e, and warm hospitality.
Reservations available on Resy.
Valet parking is available for your convenience. We look forward to seeing you soon!
If dinner looks like this, you’re doing Saturday right.
One of BOCCA’s fan favorites is looking especially irresistible: our PAN-SEARED GULF RED SNAPPER served over creamy risotto with a silky white w**e butter sauce, oven-dried tomato, and broccolini. Fresh, beautifully balanced, and exactly what Saturday night calls for.
Settle in for a memorable dinner in our dining room or enjoy the evening on our fabulous patio. 🍷
And there’s no need to call it a night after dessert. Step next door to SLOAN’S and catch the incredible Graham Harper Duo, live from 8:30–11:30 PM. Dinner, drinks, and live music, all in one downtown destination.
