I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Duro's 30th birthday at Bocci in LaSalle, & listen… this wasn't a party - this was a full cinematic experience 😭🔥
From the moment you walked in, it was pure Ghanaian excellence. Elegant decor, gift bags at the end (yes, GIFT BAGS like it was the Oscars), raffle giveaways, a sweets table stacked with elite Ghanaian delicacies, photographer, photobooth, fully stocked bar, & a 4-course meal. Honestly I came for dinner & left emotionally richer.
But let's be honest…
The absolute crème de la crème of the night was the host/DJ - DiivaPromo.
This woman didn't just host… she commanded the room. One minute she had people laughing like it was stand-up comedy, the next minute she had aunties whining like it was 2003 Caribana. Men were confused. Women were inspired. Weaves were sweating. It was chaos in the best way possible.
Her energy? Electric.
Her music selection? Surgical.
Her presence? Dangerous.
I've seen DJs play music. I've seen hosts talk.
But I've never seen someone do both while making the entire room fall in love at the same time.
If you need a DJ or host for ANY event - wedding, birthday, corporate, baby shower, divorce party (no judgment) - do yourself a favor & book DiivaPromo immediately. Your guests will thank you, your dance floor will survive a cardio session, & your event will actually be remembered.
10/10 experience. Would attend again.
Also… if the DJ sees this… respectfully… I now understand why the crowd was smiling so much 😅
We had a great time at Bocci restaurant. The food was amazing & the service was impeccable. We had made a large groupe reservation & they gave us a private space which was very helpful. They also accommodated outside birthday cake & were courteous enough to cut & serve us. Highly recommend Bocci restaurant for anybody craving Italian.
We hosted a 40th birthday party for about 60 guests at Bocci Restaurant, & everything was perfect from start to finish. The private space was beautifully set up & very comfortable for a big group.
The food was outstanding - fresh, delicious, & plentiful. From appetizers to mains, every dish was full of flavor & served hot. Guests kept raving about how amazing everything tasted.
The service was exceptional. The entire staff were friendly, organized, & attentive without ever feeling rushed. They helped with every detail & made sure everyone had what they needed, so we could simply relax & enjoy the celebration.
Parking was super easy with complimentary valet service, making it extra convenient for all our guests.
Thank you, Kara & all the staff that night, for making this 40th birthday unforgettable.
I highly recommend Bocci for any large gathering or special occasion - the perfect spot for a milestone event.
First I never give 5 stars, but the service warranted it. Went for my GF's 60th birthday. Food was very good, but the service was excellent. From the valet to the server. Only sore point was the young lady at the entrance asking if we were there for the 60th birthday...blew the surprise (I would work on that) I had their pizza & it was really tasty. GF had the manicotti & loved it.
We went on Jan 24 to celebrate my wife birthday When I called for reservation they said they would put a note that it was her birthday. When we arrive we were greeted by a hostess who was so welcoming show us to our table & took our coats. Our food was delicious we had calamari to start with. My wife had the veal Marsala & I had the rapini with sausage both were excellent. & yes they didn't forget my wife birthday brought a piece of cake .
Definitely will be back .
Had a birthday party recently during a Sunday brunch - while the staff was great, I was very disappointed in the food at the buffet. Waffles were so hard, you couldn't even cut into them. The eggs were cold. The bacon & sausage were great as were the paninis, but that's about it. Not as much variety of food as they used to have & the quality just wasn't there. I will say it is nice if you have big groups because they section off the restaurant into different rooms so it feels like a hall. Dinner may be different, but we definitely won't be doing the brunch again.
