La Bocca - Pizza, pasta, grill restaurant Hvar — Restaurant in Grad Hvar

Just a great place all around!

My husband and I were walking by La Bocca as we were headed out to a late lunch when we stopped to look at the menu. The owner, Josip, greeted us in a very nice and not pushy way.

We explained we were looking for a vegetarian burger. He showed us on the menu where they could substitute their meat burger for a vegan patty and they would also substitute regular fries for sweet potato fries!

I also found other vegetarian dishes on the menu so we stayed. And we are very glad we did!

Josip waited on us the remainder of our stay which ended up being about two hours. It was late in the afternoon so only two other guests. This was fantastic for us as we got to ‘know’ Josip all the while enjoying amazing service and excellent food, in a slow relaxed atmosphere!

Our good was very good. Served with nice presentation and with excellent flavors. My husband had the vegetarian burger with sweet potato fries. He enjoyed everything about it. The brioche bun was toasted yet soft. Tasty patty along with cheddar cheese. Large serving of fries too!

I absolutely loved my spinach risotto - the rice was cooked perfectly- especially yummy with the added shaved parmesan cheese Josip brought me! I also had a mixed salad that was of higher quality than the usual side salad. This was was large abd included corn kernels and mixed greens.

Our experience was more like visiting an old friend which now I can call Josip a new friend. We exchanged stories and shared about us as he shared about himself. Along with this time of chatting, we all enjoyed a couple glasses of different wines.

Wow how kind! As we left, we had a photo taken with our new friend and promised to see him next fall on our annual visit.

The day we visited, 30/9/2021 was to be their last day in operation for ‘the season’. (They will reopen in the spring as many establishments do here on Hvar). See you next year! Enjoy the time off, have fun with your family and congrats on that new baby arriving in a month.

Thank you our friend!!...

We wanted pizza for dinner and decided to try this place during our visit in Hvar island. The pizza definitely hit the spot and so we decided to return the following night for some dessert pizza, which also turned out to be amazing! But what made this place a 5-star is the staff. On our second dine-in visit, the place was so busy so we told them that we will just take the pizza to go so they don't have to clear a table for us. We mentioned that we already had our chance and moment to dine in the night before, and so we already knew that the pizza is going to be great. And that's the reason why we came back. While we were waiting, thinking that they're just going to give us our to-go pizza, they told us that they would love to have us dine-in again and they offered us two complimentary glasses of white wine as a thank you for selecting the restaurant again.

Also, even though they we busy that night they did not rush as out of our table. They even told us to take our time [of course, we tried not to take too much time] and to let them know if I want more honey on my...

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest welcome by the friendly staff. They made me feel right at home, even though I was in a foreign country. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with cozy blankets at every table. Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was out of this world! The menu offered a wide variety of dishes, each bursting with flavors. Not only was the food delicious, but the portion sizes were generous as well. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and content. The service throughout the evening was top-notch. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always had a smile on their faces. They were more than happy to answer any questions I had and made sure that I had everything I needed. Overall, my experience at this restaurant in was absolutely delightful. The combination of friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and incredible food made it a truly memorable dining experience. If you ever find yourself in Hvar, I highly recommend giving this place a visit.
