Boccabona Pasta Bar

Ocean Grove pasta bar turning out fresh handmade pasta and warm Italian family hospitality.

A lively, colourful trattoria with big Italian-family energy. warm and homely, though reviewers warn it gets genuinely loud and the small-print menus are hard to read in dim lighting.

Fresh handmade pasta made in-house, a deep fried lasagna that regulars single out as a must-try, gluten-free and vegan pasta options, and an Italian-leaning wine list.

Reviewers describe genuine Italian technique and flair, with fresh pasta and classic dishes done with real ingredients. though a minority found execution inconsistent.

Generous serving sizes at reasonable pricing according to most reviewers, though the small-print menu makes prices hard to read without a phone torch.
