Bocca is a newly established Italian-style restaurant on Bree Street, CBD. With its modern flair and Neopolitan pizza, it’s sure to become your new favourite hangout spot. Bocca is a very popular place for after work drinks as the restaurant features a wonderful wooden deck that looks over Bree Street. Sit back, relax and enjoy everything this part of the city has to offer! Bocca serves food from 6PM onwards, but pizza is available all day, every day. They are open till late at night, so it’s the perfect place for a 9PM dinner on a warm summer night. The restaurant also features a lovely inside area with impressive modern décor and a more private loft area where you can sit with bigger groups.

For starters, I had the pizza bread with rosemary, grana padano cheese and olive oil. I love neopolitan pizza because it’s incredibly authentic, soft and tender. I could definitely imagine thoroughly enjoying this with a round of drinks and friends. The flavours are simple, but that’s exactly what I want in my starter! Simple, cleansing and fresh!

For mains, I went with the pizza option again, and tried out The Commercial pizza with mozzarella, bacon, avocado and feta. The quality of the ingredients really impressed me and the raw tomato sauce was light, acidic and perfect for the amount of dough and crispy crust on the pizza. This was one of my absolute favourite pizzas in Cape Town and I would highly recommend Bocca for pizzas. If you’re not in the mood for this specific pizza, you’ll find a ton of delicious and interesting pizza here, like the Lady Zaza with kimchi ginger pork sausage! Bocca also offers a Lunch and Dinner menu that features a great selection of sides, tapas-style plates, paninos, big meals and dessert jars. Yum!
