La Bocca Looe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Just had our first eat-in meal at La Bocca. The young lady who served us was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The team there made a tomato- and pepper-free pizza for my missus (not the greatest intolerance to visit a pizza restaurant, I grant you, but hey, that's how it is). My inferno pizza with extra cheese and jalapeños was superb and the Shiraz was one of the best I've tasted. Attention to service and cleanliness way up there! Definitely going there again!

We had a meal here in late September both of us had a starter and main course being oats cheese bruschetta,squid,wood fired pizza and gnocchi all dishes were excellently prepared and presented. Definitely recommend

Ordered a takeaway and it was quickly made in ten minutes. Pizza was bland - plain tomato sauce base, no herbs, not much cheese. My pizza was undercooked. Good size but was expecting better.

We went on the off chance of a table at 5pm & the place was empty, by 6pm it was heaving! I'm not the worlds biggest pizza fan but they were amazing, so good, we're going back & I'll be having another! Portions are generous & beautifully cooked. Very friendly, helpful & efficient staff & the place has a real buzz about it. Great place to eat!

Just had amazing pizzas at La Bocca, lovely atmosphere and busy. Make sure to book. Very generous portions and lovely staff

5 takeaway pizza’s and a pasta dish all ready in 15 minutes! Excellent friendly service whilst making our order, and when it was ready, the food didn’t disappoint. Thin base pizza’s with fresh ingredients, made for a happy family! Highly recommended.

We ordered a takeaway from here, as we had our dog with us and it isn’t a dog friendly establishment. It was ready quickly and the team member who took our order was friendly and on the ball. The pizza was delicious; cooked on a thin base with fresh ingredients.

Really tasty food, spoiled a bit by the barn-like decor. I get the trimmed down look they were attempting, but this just seemed stark and uncomfortable. As appetisers we ordered the calamari and some olives. The calamari was spot on, tender, hot, served with a garlic mayo dip, v tasty. The olives however were a disappointment, they were soft, and mixed with soggy mushrooms, mushy pepper and garlic cloves. I'm guessing bought in bulk to cut a corner, but avoid, avoid. 4 of us had pizzas, and we were all impressed. They are big, tasty, and with a thin base we prefer, but not extraordinarily good. We'd definitely visit again, but would encourage owners to up the comfort level.

Stayed in Looe for a week and this was by far the best food we eat the whole holiday ! Great food , good service and very reasonable

Located at the end of Looe, just near the end of Market Street. We didn't book, and it was approx 7:30 pm when we arrived - and within half an hour the place was packed. Just as busy for takeaway too. Greeted by a member of staff, who was very polite and offered a nice table. There is a great choice of pizzas and pasta to choose from - and good selection of drinks too. You can see the massive wood fired oven, where the pizzas are cooked. by a young lad called Andrew. When I complimented how nice my pizza was, our waiter ( Joe ) said he would pass on this comment. Joe later said Andrew was pleased with my compliment. There was also a very pleasant young girl, whose name I didn't get ( sorry ) - who was also very polite. There are some slightly negative comments, about how the decor looked - but I don't agree with these. If you want an authentic wood fired pizza - served up by a friendly staff member - then I recommend you eat here.

Lovely team that fed us despite being very close to closing time . Great food and vibe. The specials board was full of delights - check out the gnocchi

Good service and delicious pizza . We had the 4 cheese pizza and the prawn. Both very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Delightful staff, very good value,one of the best calzones I have ever had.Went twice,both meals were ace

I’m Italian and I was impressed! Molly was our waitress and she was amazing with our daughter, super helpful, professional, naturally warming to customers and professional. Caitlin was also excellent from behind the bar / front of house! In fact all members of the team were exceptional. The restaurant had a great vibe about it with a very impressive young team fronting the business who interacted very well together and with all customers. Good quality, authentic Italian food and fairly priced and the team were excellent with young children. Highly recommend. Giuseppi

Decent food although nothing to really shout about. Pizza was ok and pastas were nice, but a little cheap(ish) and cheerful. Atmosphere was fine despite the interior being a bit basic, but the staff were all excellent. Wouldn't put anyone off visiting and probably being a little overly-critical, just not one of the week's better meals.

We ordered a pizza and a pasta to takeaway, which came to £30. The portion size and overall quality of the food did not reflect this price: the prawn pasta was incredibly small and bland, while the pizza was chewy and over-cooked. With regards to the service, when we arrived to collect our order we were not politely welcomed, but bluntly told we were 9 minutes early. Fair enough that it wasn’t ready - we were early - but some element of politeness would have been appreciated, especially given the fact we acknowledged we were early (and apologised for it) and explained we were simply letting them know we’d arrived for when the food was ready. Would not recommend and would not go again.

Family of 4. The restaurant gets busy early on. Strangely there is little pizza competition in Looe. Wood fired pizza but to be blunt not that great. Pizza dough was dense and for me and toppings not of a high standard. I had the Inferno which is standard for guys I guess with pepperoni and nduja. It could have come out of a packet to be honest. The kids Margaritas were a bit better. The pizzas are supposed to be bear shaped. The edges are much more fluffed up but ultimately it’s a dense heavy dough. If I were to compare to even a chain like Franco Manca or Pizza Pilgrims I’d say you’d be very disappointed. Totally overrated based on reviews. Staff are very nice and the venue is light and airy. The tables are not too close together. Toilets were nice and clean.

Absolutely first rate! Four of us, (2 adults and two children), we were attended to and seated quickly and after the first 40 minutes of opening every table was taken and diners were patiently waiting for tables to become available. This speaks for itself! Our pizza’s were all superb and the attentive, friendly and professional service of Molly and Joe could put to shame some front of house staff I’ve encountered in “high-end” establishments. The pair of them worked flat-out, never failing to miss the requests of other diners and their approach with the children was superb. Thank you both. Let’s not forget the back of house team who put together such excellent pizzas. A great team effort and richly deserving of this complimentary review. Thanks.

Great pizza house - attentive young staff who managed to sort a decent table for me (limited mobility due to recent operation). Beware the starters such as dough sticks are quite large - so make sure you share :). Pizza were great so will return - thanks....

Visited here whilst on holiday. Superb pizzas, super fresh calamari and the best truffle and Parmesan chips. Will visit again on our next trip. Thanks guys

We come every year. Even tho if h we were staying in port Isaac we made the trip to LOOE for our pizza. Amazing food as always.

We called early on a Friday evening and La Bocca was filling up fast. We both ordered pizza - prosciutto and fungi for my wife and Contadina (meat and peppers) for myself. Both pizzas were tasty with a really thin base in the centre. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Total bill including drinks was £37

Bruschetta starter, very disappointing, basic in terms of flavour, just seemed to be made as cheaply as possible. Pizza was very good, very tasty, all pizzas looked good. Meatball & pasta, so disappointing, it looked like it tasted, basic, not great, sauce lacked any flavour, meatballs tasted very similar to your Sunday roast stuffing balls. Desserts very nice. Pizzas good price, pasta dishes very overpriced for basic tasting food. Best things here are pizzas, garlic bread and calzones, best to stick to them

Visited here on Friday night for the last night of our holiday. Staff were really friendly and helpful, had to wait 10 mins for them to clear a table but this was no issue. Ordered a pizza and a calzone and a portion of fries. Everything was lovely and good portion sizes. Price was also reasonable and we would definitely return.

Really good pizzas / calzones etc. Largest choice of calzones I’ve seen.. Pretty basic tables & chairs. Service was ok.

We were enticed into La Bocca Looe by the wonderful smells coming from the restaurant, and we weren't disappointed by the delicious food and it's incredibly quick arrival. The staff are delightful - attentive but not in your face, and incredibly polite! Definitely recommend visiting.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, good selection on the menu. We ate here twice during our stay in Looe and thoroughly enjoyed our food both times. They offered good choices on the kids menu too so our children were happy. Thank you for such...

Had a great meal at LaBocca. The staff were very friendly and had a great experience! So much so that we went back a few nights later!! We were only in Looe for a short break and this was by far the nicest place to...

Visited here as we're on a short break and saw good reviews. We booked a table but had to change to take out and the staff were really accommodating. The pizzas were really tasty and good value for money. I forgot my bag and one...

First time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. A very friendly atmosphere. The starters and the pizzas were amazing. And the childs pizza was a hit with my granddaughter. We didn't have room for deserts. You can be sure we will book again.

This was an excellent restaurant with efficient and very helpful service. The boss's pasta with meatballs is to be recommended. We would definitely use it again if we were still in Looe.

Got pizza takeaway from here, as not dig friendly, good food made to order, looked lovely to eat in, shame we couldn't!

We dined in at La Bocca, we ordered pasta which was good and tasty and the portion was just enough we finished with the tiramisu was delicious!

Visited on a Saturday with my wife daughter for sit in dinner (they also do takeaway), none of us were disappointed. Restaurant is situated just off the sea front, it is modern inside with spacious seating, we arrived at 17:00 and left at 18:45 by...

Absolutely great pizza restaurant Great tasting fresh wood fired pizza Friendly helpful staff great food Reasonably priced lovely starters as well as the pizzas Can’t wait to return

La Bocca is normally a safe option as it's fairly large and often has tables available when other places in town are full. The service is good, the pizzas are really nice, and if you get a seat by the window you'll be able to...

Me and my partner went here for a dinner on the first night of our holiday and the experience was just sublime. Sharing a Misto Carne Pizza with wonderfully stringy Mozzarella, wonderfully cooked to perfection and beautifully spicy beef and chorizo really complimenting the ham...

Fabulous food! so delicious, good quality, friendly and very helpful staff. Was really impressed. Lots of choices on the menus and had vegetarian and vegan dishes too. Would highly recommend, well worth a visit.

Such a brilliant Italian restaurant. Huge portion sizes - we took away our leftovers for dinner. Food tasted incredible. Fantastic staff. Extremely polite, friendly and courteous. Great value for money! Vegan options too.

After discovering most restaurants in Looe were booked we ended up at La Bocca. They have a queuing system that works well and we had a table after about 15 minutes. The staff was very attentive and friendly despite being short-staffed and busy. A particular...

Hospitality industry seems to be struggling with getting staff, so there was a bit of a wait as you can't book. but the food was nice and quick once you're in

Went as a family for what was hoping was an enjoyable dinner. Unfortunately food was tasteless, pasta was very small portions and tasted of tinned tomatoes. Pizza was soggy and also had not flavour again just like they had put tinned tomatoes on pizza base...

Had another fantastic meal here! The food, service and how they looked after us was the best. The tiramisu was the best I have had in a long time. We will be back! Thank you.

A local couple usually avoiding the summer rush. My wife at 4pm suggested a takeaway pizza. Went online - ordered for 6pm - on arrival no queue & pizzas were ready boxed under a hot lamp. Gentle 10 minute stroll home - still hot &...

Food and service was excellent. We had to wait for a table for three of us as it was a busy evening but the wait was definitely worth it. The waiting staff were so busy making sure tables were served and cleared ready for the...

This pizza is amazing! Best we have had outside Italy. Restaurant very busy and we had to wait for a seat but it was worth it. Staff very friendly and service excellent.

We spent a week in Cornwall and had some great meals but being coeliac, I craved a gluten free pizza. The staff, atmosphere and whole experience at La Bocca was wonderful. The food was fantastic and perfect for everyone, children and coeliac were well catered...

Family of 6 on the 10th august . 1st of all I would like to say thank you for the fantastic service during what looked like a very busy evening service . 6 people 6 different pizzas and 5 sides with puddings . Would say...

Amazing pizzas. We always have them on the beach when in LOOE. The seagulls can’t get them because the boxes have lids ! Didn’t disappoint again this year. Perfect. 👏🏼👏🏼

The pizzas are ok, but i have better, albeit not in Looe. The service was good and it is conveniently located.

This was a vey busy restaurant and we had to walk away for half hr as we couldn't get in initially. Once we returned we were greeted and sat with a friendly reception. I jad a vegan pasta dish which was delicious and my child...

Lovely pizza restaurant with great service. Very nice drinks and nice atmosphere. No booking so get there early and have a Poretti!

Called in the of chance of a table, have often walked past it, well worth it. Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious pizzas highly recommend

Food was amazing. All very tasty , also watch it all being cooked , the staff were friendly and also the cleanliness was fantastic there on it and the toilets are all very clean to Not sure if wheelchair accessible can’t Remember But good job...

We had 2 meals here while we were in Looe for the week.The best pizza and pasta, lovely friendly staff and nice ambience.Easily the best meals we had all holiday.Highly recommended 😊

Visited twice while on holiday. Pizza and pasta both good. Staff helpful and friendly. Good choice of pizzas and freshly made.

I have visited this restaurant with my wife and two sons many times whilst on holiday in Looe, we have eaten here during extremely busy times and the quieter times and have never been let down with the quality of the food or the service....

Came here with my partner and his mum and we all got pizza and starters, had a lovely time, delicious food, great atmosphere near the sea. Couldn’t not leave a tip! Thanks to all the lovely staff!

Good Pizza Restaurant which is only meters away from the beach. Two medium Pizza's and 4 Bottles of Beer made for a lovey evening sat on the beach.

We called on spec and were very glad we did. We chose pasta dishes which were delicious and refreshingly not dyed-in-the-wool. Yummy indulgent sundaes. Nice vibe, lovely people, great value.

Booked this pizza restaurant having walked by it many times and loved watching the pizzas being cooked in the large wood burning pizza oven. I had the bread board for a starter. So much wonderful warm bread with a beautiful garlic aoli. Enough for two...

Pizza was really good. I had the calzone which was was really great. My girls loved their pizza and the risotto was creamy and garlicky. Thank you.

We very much enjoyed our time here and visited on two occasions during our stay in Looe. The pizzas are divine, a great selection of local and branded drinks available and excellent service! We all highly recommend eating here, we certainly will return!

Popped in on a rainy Wednesday evening whilst holidaying in Cornwall. Wasn’t disappointed good food and friendly staff. Pasta lovely and tasty!

Delicious, fresh pizza served by friendly and attentive staff in an unpretentious setting - just the ticket after a long and active day. Great menu with plenty to suit most palates, plus a delicious selection of drinks from the local area and further afield. La...

Great pizza : crispy , fresh and delicious . Good service : cheery staff . nice to see the kitchen and chef prepping it all . Great little find 😀

We visited La Bocca twice in April, (with friends & family aged 14-80) & as usual we had a great night. The food is superb, service excellent & the atmosphere friendly & relaxed. Can’t recommend highly enough!

We have regularly eaten at La Bocca over the years and for some reason we have stayed loyal…..not anymore. Tonight half the menu was unavailable because there was only one chef. Might have been useful to tell our party of 8 BEFORE the table was...

We were accommodated at La Bocca last minute on a Thursday night. It is difficult to get anywhere to eat in Looe at the moment if you haven't booked. The pizzas were amazing good vegan options including an excellent chocolate brownie. Service was really friendly...

Following recommendations of a variety of establishments, this seemed to be only one of a few in the town taking in walk-in guests. Maybe a reason behind this. Menu had enough for us to not go hungry. Ambience OK. Service was OK but no personality...

We spotted this restaurant whilst walking through Looe on a holiday. I loved that you could see the pizza dough being freshly prepared in the window and could see the pizza being cooked in the pizza oven. We booked a table on a rainy evening...

We went here while in Looe. The food and the service was so good we went two nights in a row. Our waitress Tabby was excellent! Would highly recommend when in the area.

I'd look past some of the negative comments and give this place a try! We took our daughter here for her birthday - they don't take bookings and it does get busy so bear that in mind. The pizza was great! Wood fired, good selection...

First time at La Bocca and we will be back very soon, olives to die for, a very nice bottle Valpolicella and great coffee. Starters were olives and garlic bread, prawns. Five of us had a mixture of pasta and pizza dishes for mains, none...

We have eaten at La Bocca a couple of times now while we have been on holiday this last 2 weeks and the food has been OK but we have known it better. As much as I enjoy the place, I don’t think it was...

Called for a takeaway, 2 of the items we wanted weren’t available. The service was ok, however the pizza was pretty tasteless. The tomato base was very watery and made the pizza soggy. Had high hopes for this wood fired pizza, unfortunately it didn’t live...

This is a gem of a place, friendly helpful staff and amazing food, best pizzas and the tiramisu omg it was heaven. The wines are amazing here too.

Fast service and tasty, genuine fresh pizzas in a great location just a short walk from the beach at East Looe.

We enjoyed Italian food here. Nice and spacious and plenty of choice to eat and drink. Good ambience.

Cracking pizza and beer at a decent price. Plus a great energetic young staff. A special mention to Tabi our waitress last night 9/9/21 who is a real credit to La Bocca. Highly recommended

La Bocca aren't operating a booking system at the moment (or maybe they just don't) - so you just turn up and hope for the best. We went late on a Thursday evening, and there were two or three tables free. There's a good menu...

Best place in Looe if you haven’t booked anywhere else - and actually- the best place in Looe if you have. Absolutely amazing pizza - can recommend inferno without cheese - well cooked- really authentic family place- looked like everyone was happy- waitress was Tabby...

I have ordered takeaway last moth from them. 2 pizzas Quattro Formaggi and Salami Pizza. Both had quite good base but that's it about positives. Too much tomato sauce on both which dominated over the rest. Lack of the rest ingredients. Salami pizza had one...

We are in Looe on holiday and always visit this place for pizza as it’s just best ever!! This year has been no different even though they are short of staff as are a lot of local places. They’ve changed the menu for a bit...

After sitting a long time, waiting to be given a menu, then waiting an age to give our order, we were then told that there were just pizzas, nothing else. Very frustrating when we'd got the 3 year old to decide which pasta she wanted,...

After a long day travelling just wanted a quick and easy evening meal so decided to get a pizza take away from La Bocca which was lovely. We ate in the restaurant last year which we enjoyed. Recommended for a lovely Pizza

We ordered 4 different pizzas & combination of starters to share - all absolutely delicious ,generous portions, & enjoyed by us all . Cheerful & quick service so we would recommend this La Bocca to everyone and definitely will return to eat there again .

La Bocca was an absolute treat. Family of 6 with 2 fussy kids and we all cleaned our plates. Delicious and massive pizzas, really tasty pasta dishes. Brilliantly friendly service, very smiley and great with the kids. I will say that the queue was massive...

Came for lunch on a day trip to Looe, lots of pizza options. Staff were friendly reassuring about my allergies (no nuts in kitchen) and offered to swap any ingredients they were out of on my vegetarian pizza. One of our group didn’t like pizza...

I have ordered sea food pasta. The staff was very hepful and nice. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the seafood was tasty and fresh. Wil definitely come back!

The pizzas were excellent and the service was spot on. We were a party of 7 and the staff did there best to accommodate us at a very busy time. Would highly recommend

This place doesn't take bookings so getting a table is a bit of pot luck, especially in busy periods. We didn't have to wait long for a table as we were only a party of two but bigger parties were waiting for the duration of...

Best Pizza I’ve had outside Naples. Absolutely amazing, waitresses were lovely and the food was awesome. Worth the wait for a large table.

As a mere young aged 30 year old, I was delighted with the prospects of enjoying a lovely meal with my fiancé in the beautiful Looe bay. With a restaurant with no booking system, and walk in only I appreciated the 45 minutes before being...

Ordered the calzone farcito and pollo y peppers pizzas to takeaway. Slight delay but the staff were lovely and the pizzas were fantastic

So I have been coming to Looe, for years and seen this little place open and thrive. Always thought it looked nice but always busy so never went. Well today I found out why. The Pizzas are AMAZING, the staff so efficient and friendly, absolute...

Popped in by chance as it was quiet unlike alot of other eateries. The service was great and the pizza was very tasty.A good find

Went to this restaurant today not knowing what to expect. Staff very polite and sat straight down, the place was full yet waitresses were very attentive. Drinks came quickly and so did the food, some of the best pizza’s we have ever had and very...

This restaurant has so much potential. They cook wood fired oven pizzas and although the dough was perfect the ingredients were a real let down. The tomato sauce and mozzarella were really tasteless. My daughter ordered pasta as a main course, there was so little...

My middle boy has been going on about this place for a couple of years now so we decided as a treat to pop for tea after our day on the beach today. I was a bit worried about recent reviews but as I had...
