Reviews for Bocca Lupo Coal Fired Pizza West Villages in Venice, FL

Food was good, service was subpar. I ordered a personal pizza and loved it. Our server was very short with us, and did not check... in once during the meal. Wings we got we?re burnt had to be recooked didn?t get done until way after everyone else finishedtheir meal. Overall I?m giving it 3 stars because it?s not the absolute worst place to go for a bite.

I wouldn?t recommend to anyone! Unfortunately coming all the way from Ohio we were really looking forward to coming back. Only... being our second time, we didn?t realize the strict seating and DO NOT SIT AT THE PATIO! Without making sure your ENTIRE familygoes through the restaurant first all together. It was made clear we weren?t welcome, they were short staffed and a waiter hadbeen double sat. We totally didn?t mind waiting. The waiter made sure to not even make eye contact. We were only double checkingthat we were checked in properly, received a rude response. Not everyone visits this place daily and is aware that not oneperson can check the family in. When there one only 1 table seated outside. A table of two, the rest of the patio was empty,apparently it?s not welcome for you to sit there unless every member of your family walk through the restaurant first! They willmake that clear! Unwelcoming and rude staff, will not be back! Clearly you can see the patio still empty. Read more

I will say the pizza was good. We have been eating at the Port Charlotte and North Port locations for years and this is our... first time dining at the Villages location. The garlic rolls were so-so. There was a lot of butter, and I mean a lot of butter.They were practically soaked through. I'm not sure what type of butter they used but the aftertaste was different. It may be theIncredible amount of butter that tasted off. We had two pizzas, a margarita and a pepperoni with bacon. The margarita was goodand tasted fine. It was not the best we have had at Bocca Luppo but it worked. The pepperoni and bacon was also good but had solittle bacon, I asked our waiter to take off the topping charge. Which they did. They could see from the remaining slices thechef barely put any bacon on the pizza. The portion I had eaten did not have bacon at all. They were busy so it seems like theyare doing well. The pickup line was ten people deep when we got there. We were seated right away on a Saturday. Read more

Nice place, good environment and friendly staff. Wings are crispy and delicious. Steak roll is ok. Garlic knots we didn?t like,... the bread was very dry. Pizza is really good. Overall a nice place to eat some pizza. Read more

Always delicious! Their Garlic Parm wings are amazing! And they have some of the best pizza in the area!!!! Always try to get a... pic of the wings but I get to excited when they arrive and eat them first!! Read more

Annika was excellent waitress and we had great service. The wings were good and had a little smoky flavor. I would advice... getting a side of two meatballs and sauce and garlic knots as the best food there. The pizza is good and the happy hour a stealfor most drinks. Read more

Great atmosphere and food! Happy hour pricing from 3-6 is wonderful and the bar staff are so friendly???? We ordered food to go... and it was hot, fresh, and delicious. The garlic parmesan wings are divine... we will definitely be back???????? Read more

This was a new place for me to try and I loved it. There is a restaurant area and a bar with alot of TVs. It looks like a local... favorite hang out spot. We decided to start with the meatballs. They were made well and juicy inside. Great start. The saladswere crisp and the dressing had great flavor. We ordered wings to share and a medium pizza. There were some great sauces forthe wings, Korean BBQ was the choice and it was not too sweet with some heat. The hand tossed sausage and ricotta came and wewere in heaven. The crust was great. I feel this makes the pizza. Their sausage had a hearty flavor, not over spiced and thericotta was creamy. I will say we took most of our dinner home to enjoy again. If I'm in this area again I will stop. Read more
