My husband and I had an amazing meal at La Bocca Ristorante & Vineria. I had the grilled octopus and the red snapper crusted with pistachio – both were absolutely to die for and reminded me of my last trip to Sicily. The staff is warm and attentive, and the restaurant looks beautiful after the renovation and the new management is doing an awesome job. Truly a gem – we can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful meal at La Bocca Ristorante & Vineria on Christmas Eve. The food was truly curated, every dish felt thoughtful and genuine, not the usual “fake Italian” you find so often. From the flavors to the wine pairings, everything tasted like real Italy.This is the place to go if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

The staff at La Bocca fit us in on Christmas Eve at the very last minute with no reservation and no wait! The service team was highly attentive and made it a special experience for us. They featured an excellent cocktail menu along with a great fixed price menu, with a good variety of options. I had short ribs which were excellent. We would definitely come back.

I stopped into this new restaurant not knowing what to expect, and I left wondering one thing- where did this guy come from? Mike has crafted a truly curated cocktail list—every drink feels intentional, creative, and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere. You can tell he puts real thought into flavor combinations, and somehow everything just works. Each cocktail feels like a little discovery. Beyond the drinks, Mike is exactly the kind of bartender you hope to find: personable without being pushy, professional yet warm, and genuinely passionate about what he’s serving. He asks great questions, makes thoughtful recommendations, and seems to read the room effortlessly. If you’re curious about trying something new—or just want an impeccable drink made by someone who clearly loves his craft—ask for Mike. He’s the kind of bartender who makes you want to come back just to see what he’s mixing next.

Incredible experience. The owner was very welcoming and genuinely values every patrons experience. The food is authentic and delicious, the service is outstanding, and the cocktails are truly next-level. Bartender Mike made us feel at home serving up fantastic cocktails (best espresso martini)… Warm, inviting, and consistently excellent—highly recommend.

La Bocca is open again and the place looks great. The renovation gave the dining room a warm and polished feel. The lighting, the table setup, and the small details around the room make it easy to relax and enjoy the night. The handcrafted plates and the clean layout add a nice touch. The bar area feels lively without being loud. Alessandro and Anna Maria did an excellent job. The refreshed menu has real Italian flavor and every dish tastes fresh and well prepared. The service is friendly and consistent. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in. If you want quality Italian food in White Plains, put this restaurant at the top of your list. The atmosphere, the food, and the hospitality make it an easy choice. I am glad they are back and will be returning often.

I have been coming to La Bocca for over 10 years, so the renovation & re-imagining was a bittersweet moment but it’s safe to say they have figured out the perfect combination of blending traditional with the modern. Everything we ate was delicious & the refreshed space made it feel like a whole new place, while still being familiar ❤️ 10/10 recommend!!

I am here with work and last night my colleagues suggested we go to La Boccas as they know Tony the owner. What an amazing little hidden gem and truly lovely Italian restaurant. The owner Tony greeted us with open arms and the staff were superb. To start with they brought us all an antipasti platter selection to share then I had the most amazing fish pizza. I will certainly be returning back 🤗

The appetizers are usually very good, but for whatever reasons there are times you order the same order, and the taste and texture are different. Tends to be salty. In general good services and the drinks are good.

Franco Fontana

Enjoyed the atmosphere. Felt like we'd been coming here for years. The food was delicious and the service was always catering to us to ensure we were happy. Can't wait to come back.

Not pleased with chicken scarparelli served in a bowl with large pieces of chicken that was hard to cut in the bowl it was served. Small bits of sausage hard to find. Some of the Mussels special had a unpleasnt fishy taste while some on bottom ok. Noisy with large tables of men.

Had dinner on New Years Eve, total disappointment. Waited hours for our courses.. got entree at 11:30, after showing up for our 7.30 reservation. Service was non existent, had to get our own drinks from bar. Food was ok. Wasn’t even that busy..1 waiter for 4 -10 person tables . Management disappeared when the customers complained..like they were hiding. Was never even offered coffee with dessert, when asked I was ignored .The new management totally ruined this restaurant..it’s a shame

I come to White Plains 2 to 3 times a year for work, Short walk from the hotel, my coworker and I always love coming here to see Tony (owner) and eat. Today, We walked in and saw an updated, clean look to the interior. Staff mentioned they just reopened after being closed for remodeling. Tony is no longer running the restaurant and it is noticeable. First thing was the portion size was significantly smaller and not worth the $30/plate. No wine menu, but we were charged $15 per glass of wine for what tasted like basic bottom shelf wine. Food tasted ok for me, my coworker said she didn’t like hers and the custard (grainy texture instead of smooth) & tiramisu desserts was dry. Waiters were polite and attentive. Not worth the price anymore, and part of the charm that we loved was talking to Tony. Unfortunately, we won’t be coming back.

The service was great the waiters very sweet attentive we where there in the afternoon around 3pm…the food was terrible firstly I got the beet salad added shrimp…I got sick from the shrimp..the shrimp was dry and had an Oder the salad looked like a side salad and it was a main entree. The spicy sausage orecchiette was zero spicy bland. The tortellini I got for my son had way way too much cheese can’t believe I’m saying too much cheese but it did. The bread was cold and super dry, the focaccia would’ve been nice warmed.

Pay attention to the low reviews - they consistently say the same horrible feedback. The food is truly disgusting. Idk how basic pasta dishes can be messed up so horribly. I could’ve had better food from a Kraft box. For something that cannot possible have seasoning, the flavor is somehow still bad. The service and atmosphere were ok. I wanted to like this place and support it since so many establishments are going out of business in the area, but I cannot stress how bad the food is. And expensive! I wouldn’t even eat it for free.

This restaurant it’s abominable, went here for New Year’s Eve and $505 + 100 tip id realized that I was being overcharged all night long. The bartender was not charging for drinks as a cocktails or well drink, instead she charged every drink as top shelf liquor shot & this is not only outraging but dishonest & lack of respect for your patron thereof. $500 for two people at a mediocre restaurant like this it’s insane. Train your staff better. Additionally it’s insane that I was treated differently for being latina by a Latina bartender themself.
