We're an Italian bistro nestled in the heart of scenic Cooperstown, NY. Established in 2011, our family-owned restaurant brings a slice of Italy to your table, offering a unique blend of traditional and contemporary Italian dishes.Our story begins with a passion for authentic Italian cuisine, deeply rooted in our heritage.
Inspired by our parents from Naples, Italy, and their enduring cooking traditions, we sought to share the flavors and experiences we grew up with. Our mother’s remarkable cooking, influenced by her family's trattoria in Italy—still operating since its founding post-World War II by our grandfather—was the foundation of our vision.
With the support of our uncle, Fiorentino Falso, we imported a six-ton custom-built oven from Naples, a true centerpiece for crafting genuine Neapolitan pizzas.
This dedication to authenticity is further enriched by the expertise of our chefs, Jeremy Harris and Mark Harrington, who helped bring Bocca Osteria to life.At Bocca Osteria, we take pride in our signature dishes.
From our famous Neapolitan pizzas topped with prosciutto, figs, and truffles, to homemade specialties like fresh gnocchi and fettuccine prepared daily by our mother, each bite promises a taste of Italy. Our menu also features beloved favorites such as Bocca Chicken Riggies, Chicken Marsala, and The Pub Steak, ensuring a delightful dining experience for all.
Join us at Bocca Osteria, where every meal is crafted with love and tradition, offering a genuine Italian experience in the heart of Cooperstown.
