    An early Valentine’s Day lunch and it couldn’t have been better. Kimberley our waitress was fantastic, regular and specials menu offered. wonderful choices and the cocktail menu topped it all off perfectly. We’re pretty discerning but have to admit that Boca does the best pizza we’ve found anywhere - yes anywhere, and today was no exception. We opted for the polpette and added some olives. From the first bite we agreed it was bursting with a superb combination of flavours. It was one of the those memorable ‘omg this is delicious’ moments. Some Boca Prosecco and Rose topped things off perfectly. Go there - find out for yourself how brilliant this gem is.
