Bocca Bona translates to ‘Good Mouth’But in Italy it’s so much more than that, referring to someone who has ‘Great Taste’ for the finer things in life.It’s good times, full bellies and stories that get better after the second bottle.Boccabona is what happens when a few pasta lovers get their hands on a new postcode. Our family's third location on the Bellarine. We’re talking house-made pasta, cheeky aperitivi, loud laughter, and the smell of tomato sugo that’ll make you text your Nonna.It’s casual, a bit chaotic, that’s why Nonna would be screaming ‘Magna e Tasi’ (Eat and Shut up) to make sure you finish your plate of pasta.  Exactly how dining should be — full of heart, flavour, and vino. Because here, we believe a good mouth deserves good times.

We Italians like to say that a gesture is worth 1000 words. When our hands aren’t in use, creating or experimenting with canvas and brushes, marble and chisel, pan and pot, we mould air with our fingers. CHE VUOI which translates to ‘what do you want’ is often an involuntary gesture, something we can’t help doing… Like sharing our love for Nonna’s rustic family dishes, fresh homemade pastas, artisan wood fire pizzas and great wines in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. We would be humbled to see you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Ciao & Buon Appetito…

This venue has a lovely ambience, beautiful light and views, and the service staff are friendly, welcoming and on point with timing.
