Sit outside on a cool summer night and enjoy the fresh air as you are having a delicious meal! Some nights we open the café windows and the whole front of the café is part of the evening outside. During the day we have umbrellas that can keep you nice and cool while enjoying the summer weather and your meal or cappuccino and favorite pastry...more pictures coming!!!

Amatrice, Italy Fund 

​We, at bocca bella café & bistro, would like to thank everyone for supporting our efforts to raise funds to help the victims of the recent earthquake in Amatrice, Italy, not too far from Mario’s birthplace.
For two weeks we featured the classic dish from Amatrice, Bucatini Amatriciana. For each dish that was ordered the café donated $3.00 to the Italian Red Cross. Many of our customers and friends not only bought the dish but also donated even more.
 
In all we raised $750.00. This amount will be sent to the Italian Red Cross to help the victims of Amatrice where nearly 300 people died. Although it appears to be a small amount, it is sending a very strong and large message to the residents of Amatrice: that we care in America.
We thank you very much, mille grazie, for your generosity.
 
Once we receive word that the money has been received and given to the proper channels we will put a notice on the website for your review.
