I cannot say enough positive things about this restaurant & their team.
After another venue unexpectedly failed to honor my reservation just days before a large event, I was left scrambling to find a place that could accommodate 50+ guests on extremely short notice. From the moment I reached out, the owner; Joey, stepped in with professionalism, urgency, & genuine care.
Joey went above & beyond to make the impossible happen-quickly organizing space for our group, coordinating the logistics, & ensuring everything was in place for a seamless event. What could have been a very stressful & disappointing situation turned into a memorable & enjoyable evening thanks to his efforts.
The level of communication, organization, & customer service was exceptional throughout. Every detail was handled efficiently, & I felt supported every step of the way.
I am incredibly grateful to his team for their flexibility & dedication. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone planning an event-they truly deliver when it matters most.
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 😅
I have had dinner there with my husband, had my wedding reception here & baby shower, among other family events. It has always been such a perfect place for our family gatherings. The food is exquisite, the staff are lovely, Kara (event manager) is so nice & helpful!, & the atmosphere is wonderful. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a night out for good food or for a larger event!
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Bocci, & the experience was absolutely wonderful. From the warm & attentive staff to the delicious Italian menu, refreshing drinks, & beautiful décor-every detail exceeded our expectations. Also, the event coordinator Kara was so attentive to all our requests & made sure everything went smoothly. Bocci has quickly become our go-to spot whenever we're craving Italian cuisine, & it's now our top choice for all future family celebrations. Highly recommended!
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.
