Bocca Lupo Coal Fired Pizza West Villages

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.

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.

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.

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!!
