Boca Pizzeria - Novato

“I went to Boca last night with my aunt and uncle after seeing a ton of great reviews about the braised beef pappardelle, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The pasta was perfectly al dente, loaded with rich, deep flavor, and finished with just the right amount of Parmesan on top. Truly outstanding. We started with the clams, and those were another hit…super flavorful, fresh, and the broth was so good I honestly wanted to drink it. Great food, great execution, and a really solid experience overall. I’d definitely come back.”

“I was out in West Marin looking for things best forgotten, and thanking the powers above that I didn't find them, and then found myself back on Ignacio Blvd heading straight to Boca Pizzeria! What luck I thought, or was it devine intervention that once again brought this wayward soul to Boca Pizzeria! The last time I was here I had an amazing pizza but today it's going to be pasta, and not just any pasta...Fettuccine Bolognese piled high with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a little sprinkle of garden fresh parsley. All I can say to describe my meal is WOW...It was Amazing! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ and well worth a detour!”

“I have been a steady customer of Boca Pizzaria in Novato for more than five years; it's a neighborhood gem. I've never had a disappointing meal there. Great pizza. Terrific entrees. Friendly and attentive service. Who could ask for more? My only complaint is the elimination of the lamb sandwich from their luncheon menu. In its place is a steak sandwich, which is good, but by no means better than the lamb sandwich. The lamb was a DELICIOUS sandwich; I would order one every other visit. You can get steak anywhere, but well-prepared lamb, like at Boca, is not so easy.”

“Boca Pizza is the kind of place where the food is so good customer service is an option apparently. We (and in fairness folks after us ) asked for a table on one of the patios where there were 20 open tables combined. It was a lovely evening in northern cal. We were told that unless we have reservations we cannot sit on the patio (20 open tables). Another couple was advised about “a couple of large parties”. Well as we depart, 17/20 tables still available. No large parties. So if you want to eat good food and be a slave to a policy manual, this is your spot.”

“I ordered 1 Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, I was charged for Tips which I did not sign up for.When questioned they said it will be refunded. When I got the pasta there was no chicken I went back and questioned the order they said it will take a few minutes to add the chicken, when I finally got the pasta see photos only two pieces of chicken pasta was tasteless. I am still waiting for my refund from the tips charge, which I was told will take a few hours. My first time and it will be my last.”
