Boccelli's Ristorante

Cute restaurant in a cute downtown Gresham area. I was a big fan of their $15 build your own lunch special. It looked small when it came out but was surprisingly satisfying. I got the penne Alfredo with sausage and mushroom. It was so delightful and the garlic bread was so good for no reason. All tables have craft paper and crayons for you to unleash your inner artist/child. Waitress rarely checked in on us and didn’t refill our waters until we finished eating but let us stay for as long as we wanted (Thursday afternoon) so it’s ok. Would be happy to come back! And free parking downtown? Say less. 8.5/10

This restaurant always delivers the most incredible food, service, and care. It's a favorite for those special events. We always make incredible memories here and the staff, and chefs, contribute to the experience. If you've never been, you simply have to go. They always do a phenomenal job taking care of our large parties with skill and professionalism.

I came here when I was younger and finally came back after years! The food was great, it came out so hot that we needed to blow on it to be able to eat it for half the meal. I had the tortellini rustica and the creamy red pepper sauce was delicious. Paired with asparagus, it was a nice touch. I wish there would’ve been more chicken. My boyfriend got the spaghetti bolognese and commented that he got exactly what he bargained for. I also had the limonata raspberry which was very refreshing and tasted like candy. The service was good, no overbearing and always on time. Overall it was a great experience, I’d like to save room for dessert next time as well as sit outside, there’s a cute little stone walled area. Inside had fun art and all the classic Italian vibes of green and red. Almost forgot to mention the drawing table cloth, we had a lot of fun with that!

We ordered Salmon with Risotto, but was given Halibut instead. We couldn’t tell they gave us the wrong fish because it was smothered in gravy, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu. Once we forked into it, tried it, it was too try. The waitress was made aware of the wrong fish immediately when she set it down. She said she’d made a mistake and would get us the salmon right away. She didn’t take the halibut back, although we didn’t touch it again. The salmon didn’t arrive for another 30 minutes, so we just had everything packed to go. We also ordered the Mediterranean chicken. That too, was dry. We tried to eat it but each part got dryer and dryer. The waitress never checked on us after giving us the order. The table of 4 behind us didn’t care for their food either. We overheard them saying pretty much the same thing we were experiencing.

Boccelli’s Restorante in Gresham, Oregon is a terrific place to enjoy amazing Italian cuisine. I enjoyed the homemade manicotti which was very delicious and tasty. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are large. The service and staff were professional, kind and friendly. We enjoyed ourselves enough to make sure when hungry for great Italian meals we head to Boccelli’s.

Update: the owner response below asked me reach out, which I did twice, with no response. I went ahead and gave them another shot, and again, pretty empty place, very long wait from sitting down to seeing a waiter. Food was worse this time around. I dont recommend this place. Original review: I want to like this place a little more than I do. The food is fine. The service is disappointing. Very long wait for a drink in a nearly empty restaurant earlyish on a Saturday. Lots of staff standing around chit chatting while we waited for a server to come by. She did finally, and was weirdly performative. One of the clams didn't open in the order of clams and she asked if we were going to eat it...had to let her know you shouldn't eat them if they don't open up, which is neither here nor there but mildly amusing. In the end the food was fine, an app, 2 cocktails, 2 pastas and 2 glasses of wine was 115.00, which is not terrible but no crazy value. In general just didn't get the service experience I hoped for (classic case of people across the aisle with a different server coming after us, getting food and drinks before us, and leaving before us). With a better server would give this place a 4/5.

We recently dined at Boccelli's Ristorante in Gresham for my daughter's birthday and had a fantastic experience. Our waitress, Melissa, was amazing—her friendly demeanor and attentive service made our meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere at Boccelli's is great, with a warm and inviting ambiance that made us feel right at home. As for the food, it was flavorful and delicious. Every dish we tried was a delight, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The menu is quite extensive, offering a wide range of options that cater to different tastes. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try more of what they have to offer. Overall, Boccelli's Ristorante is a gem in Gresham. With excellent service, a pleasant atmosphere, and top-notch food, it’s a place I highly recommend.

I never leave bad reviews but feel like I should warn others. The service we had was wonderful but for the price of the plates, that food was just not good. The pasta tasted like the boxed past you get at the dollar store and all the seafood in my dish was tough and flavorless. I absolutely love scallops, never had one I didnt enjoy until this restaurant. My husband got a different dish and the peppers were barely cooked and everything was very soupy with not a good flavor. We were very disappointed, definitely not worth $25-$30 a plate.

Server was nice, was around when needed and wasn't over bearing. Appetizer was bruschetta, bread needed to be toasted, tomatoes should have been sliced not cubed, mozzarella was shredded, should have been sliced, not enough basil IMO and the balsamic should have been a glaze. It was so watery that the bread soaked it and it was very difficult to eat. I won't order that again. The carbonara and chicken Cajun sauce meals were great, perfect flavor to them and I really enjoyed it. Tiramisu for dessert, was perfect size, and whipped cream was house made and so good! Restaurant wasn't loud at all, and I liked the setup for seating, felt like you were in your own bubble at your booth without knocking shoulders with people either.

The food was delicious The service was excellent And we all took leftovers hime because the size of the food was plentiful

The food, ambience were nice but the SERVICE was really the best. We came here tonight to celebrate our daughter's birthday. She remembered coming here last year when we met up with friends of mine and asked to come here for her birthday dinner. We had reservations for 7 and were seated immediately when we arrived in the back at one of their big round tables that was the perfect fit for all of us. The restaurant is charming and it's in the cutest lil part of downtown Gresham. There is a HUGE parking lot right across the street (to the west) with free parking so you don't need to search for street parking. There are lots of food options here and I personally had the fruitti de mare which is a linguini pasta with a yummy garlic lemon sauce and a ton of scallops, salmon, clams, and shrimp. The seafood was NOT overcooked and was perfect. Oh I don't usually eat a lot of pasta but this was good. I think it's a nice place with good food italian american food. My dear daughter wanted their spaghetti with meatballs because she remembered how tasty it was over a year ago. I think everything they had was delicious and fair priced. But can I just share how awesome our waiter was?? I feel horrible because I didn't get his name but he was so friendly and was genuinely a happy guy and his energy was just great. He brought drinks before we even needed out refills, he checked on us consistently. We brought our own cake that she had picked out and he made sure we had plates, a cake knife, etc and even brought me coffee. The coffee ended up being cold and not that great and when I mentioned it to him when he asked if I wanted more. He immediately got me a fresh americano to take with me. He really made my daughter's birthday dinner lovely. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Delicious food that included an assortment of lunch specials. Service was impeccable too! Make a day of it with some shopping and then a yummy meal here!

Service was very great. The waiter was attentive and brought us refills without asking and very nice. Other than that, not too much to write home about in regards to food. We tried two of their pastas along with their clam chowder. They don't have table bread but the pastas came with two slices of bread. Pastas were not up to the quality of their price. The pesto tasted more Alfredo then pesto. It was also very bland. I rarely need to add salt to my food and I had to add some salt and black pepper. BTW: They only have table side cracked pepper. No freshly grind pepper or they don't offer it to you like most Italian restaurants. We got the pesto fettuccini with chicken and artichoke and the steak penne with Dijon cream. The steak penne just tasted like Alfredo or cream sauce. No Dijon flavor in sight. The clam chowder was alright. If you're looking for a fine dining Italian restaurant this isn't it (ambiance and food). With paper and crayons on tables, it is great for family with kids for a night out. Sadly the food is not up to par with most of fast casual Italian restaurants...

Delicious food, got a bottle of the Charente Di Bardolino Rosé which was perfect with both meals we ordered (the dry rosé is an easy pairing partner). Had to remind our server that she told us we'd get bread before the meal but otherwise standard/par service. Had a 5-10 minute wait on a Monday at 7pm.

The food here is always great. We came about 45 minutes before closing after a graduation and they got us seated. The service was great!! The food is amazing. There's a ton of options on the menu. The interior is very spacious. I've come here multiple times and it's always great. There is parking behind the building if you can't find anything on main. The waitress came over with a platter of dessert to show us the options. I would happily come back.

Early dinner. Service was good and friendly Food meh. Tried the penne bistecca. Basically penne pasta, sirloin strips,red pepper, mushrooms in a cream sauce Being gluten sensitive an extra $4 is added on. Making my meal $26. Just not very well prepared. Mushrooms and peppers, what was there were barely cooked. Sirloin strips were tough. Lastly the sauce was way too thin. Very underwhelming. Wife's tomato soup was pretty good. Caesar salad was pedestrian Not a bunch of Italian restaurants around. May go back and try something else sometime

This place NEVER FAILS! The staff is amazing! Food is always spot on! Placated in downtown Gresham, plenty of parking. Decor is outdated, but if you can over look that. This place is the Italian spot for you! But.... I think more for people who like sauces! Saucy pasta!

Yummo! The Tortellini Rustica dish is hands down our favorite dish at this restaurant. If you're in the mood for seafood try the Salmon Fettuccini and both dishes I ask for extra bread for dipping in the sauce. The service is kind and swift no complaints about seating, very nice touch with crayons and paper for the kiddos to enjoy.

I do NOT recommend this location. I have come here a few times and it's a Gresham Italian restaurant trying to be a Formal High Class Italian. You can already tell I'm a bit mad about this.... I did really enjoy the Bruschetta when i came over 3 years ago and brought other friends. I called tonight to make a reservation for my parents and I. I knew their hours were only until 830. I called at 7 to see when they stopped seating and the guy who answered the phone said they stop seating at 815. I said oh that will work but we may not get there until 8 because we were driving from Vancouver but i thought it would be nice to bring my parents there for their 54th anniversary. He said well we stop seating at 815 but you should be ok and literally took a reservation for our party of 3 for 8 pm and confirmed it. We arrived just before 8. My mom went on to get a seat while i brought my father who had a stroke and has a walker. They literally saw us outside and told my mom that they were closed. The lady came out as we arrived and said thank you for understanding. I said uh why would you take a reservation for 8 and tell me you say until 815 when i called at 7? She said no i was standing there that isn't what he said he said we don't allow anyone in after 8. Ummm listen i kinda have a job that requires memory and i know what was said. That's why i called in advance and asked. We wouldn't have driven this whole way if it didn't work. She said no you're wrong and continued to argue with me. To reiterate I KNOW we were cutting it close that's why I called to ask before driving 45 minutes.... they could've said not a great idea then but instead they took a dang reservation then denied it when they saw the walker.... I'm thinking there was some discrimination going on since they saw my father with a walker after telling me no problem when I called..... whoever owns this place should take a good hard look at who is working there. I will never give this place any of my money. They can learn something about honesty and customer service. I do not recommend anyone else coming here. The Bruschetta used to be amazing but not worth the attitude and false communication.

For Halloween this year, I got married and had a party of 22 people. We were able to book a reservation well in advance and they were able to accommodate my party. We planned to do champagne and the manager made sure to call me a few days before to ensure he had the correct number of bottles. We were able to bring our own wedding cake too. On the day of they had the tables ready with water. We were able to set the cake a gifts on a table separate from our dining tables, which was great. We have been to this restaurant many times before this and love the food, which is why we chose to go here for our reception. Despite how busy they were, the waitress made sure to come around with bread baskets, refill the water, and pour the champagne in a timely manner, and the food was just as good as every other time we've been there!

Update #2: My church group was here for lunch today. Thank you for reserving us 12, when 3 ladies ended up not able to make it. No matter, I tried something different today. Both the lady in front of me ordered the same thing. My husband's salad came first, and he waited until the food for the rest of the people came, but they didn't, for quite sometime. Five of us were halfway done, while three people were still waiting for theirs. The two ladies who ordered sandwiches, waited much longer, and two of us were already done with our lunch! Other than this is an Italian restaurant, the food here was always good, but the service: short staffed, and they busy! I also have to go find our waitress, because we were ready to order, and we were just talking so long and so much, we forgot why we're there! Minus another star.

Have been going to Bocelli's since we moved back to East County Portland in 2014 and have found everything ok. But on November 8th my wife and I patronized the resturant and everything that evening went wrong, and the waitress Melissa didn't do much to correct anything. And, i sent two emails with my complaints and no response to date. To start I ordered an Arnold Palmer, ice tea and lemonade. The lemonade was sour. We ordered calamari and they were giant rings with way too much breading and they were tasteless. Asked the waitress when they changed calamari from the normal small rings and she did not know. Our salads came, great looking on top but once we got to the lettuce it was saturated with dressing making the lettuce soggy and unappetizing. Dinners came and both our dinners were tasteless and bland. When I got the waitress' attention and asked if they had changed chefs she said no and rushed away. Then we waited and waited for our check and could not see or find Melissa. Finally I stood up and another patron asked if I needed something and I told him yes, the waitress and he flagged down a busboy to get our waitress to give us our check. She came, dropped off the check and we paid and left. Can tell you I will never go back to Bocelli's and certainly tell our friends on our retirement community to go to Olive Garden vs Bocelli's after that night from hell. Too bad as they used to have good food and service. Bud Abraham

The Bayou Prawns Risotto is amazing!!! The wine paired with it from two rivers was a great pairing to boot! The serving size is def enough for two. Our waitress Dana was on top of refilling our beverages without having to flag her down and her friendliness is rare to find in most establishments. We will 100% be returning!!

Takeout order review: Very fast service. Easy to order over the phone when I was having network problems and couldn't access the website. Tortellini rustica was delicious! The halibut linguini in white wine sauce was good but the sauce left something to be desired. Would absolutely order the tortellini rustica again. Looking forward to trying their other specials soon

Always so delicious, even after not able to go for years! Great anniversary meal with my husband and our youngest, fantastic service and wonderful atmosphere.

The best authentic Italian food by far! The sauces are made in-house to perfection. Every time we go, we are satisfied. I recommend eating in without a time schedule.

wow.... the food here is amazing. I had the Jambalaya on this visit and it was delicious. The ambiance here is very dark and relaxing. The server we had made our experience even better. She was very attentive and friendly. I would recommend this place if you are in the area.

this is a fine establishment the food is great thr service is good and the ambiance is really cool.

Excellent food and service. The salad with balsamic dressing was worth the trip alone. My chicken Parmesan was one of the best I've ever had-and that's saying a lot as I grew up in Brooklyn and went to Little Italy many times. Since moving to the NW, I've been looking for great chicken Parmesan and I certainly found it here.

I am NEVER disappointed when I visit Bocelli's. Last month I had the salmon tortellini. Tonight I had the Bayou Prawns that was absolutely out of this world. Tender tiger prawns with sausage, mushrooms, and red pepper in a wonderful Cajun cream sauce over garlic basil risotto. Pair this with a smooth glass of Spanish Tempranillo will make your mouth smile. Visit Boccelli's for a wide variety of delightful dishes.

Don't waste your money on this place. Cost me 127.00 to have food delivered that was AWFUL. Bland, flavorless watery... the alfredo sauce was almost chalky. Bummer I can't get this issue remedied due to the delivery service that was used. This place used to be alright but that last few times i've gotten take out it's been on a steady decline.

Had the absolute best clam chowder I've had in years.....nothing I've had at the Coast compares. Perfect consistency, creamy potato chunks, tender clams. So good! Waiter said they make it from scratch. Good service, too!

Still Amazing even though they were out of the Chocolate cake which is a must have!! probably why they were out. All our food was amazing and the service was top notch as usual.

First time here. The food was not bad and it was interesting to see a couple Cajun style options on the menu. Our server was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Only complaints were that a couple items on the drink list were not available and you have to pay $4 for a pre-dinner bread basket. The 5 thin slices of garlic butter bread was OK but not worth paying for again. Next time we will try one of the appetizers.

Came to have dinner with the family for my birthday. Honestly, the main meal was okay. I grew up in Italy, so the judgement here is based on experience of the cuisine: this is an upscale Olive Garden. Service was really good. She was attentive, had a good memory, and got all the benchmarks of a server. Well done. Food was bland, albeit well prepared. Salmon was really good. Alfredo was weak, but well cooked. Big sticking point: my dad's wife has a medical condition and can only eat small meals. She has a medical card which allows her to order from the children's menu, soups the need arise. It did, and when she tried to order a kids' spaghetti, the manager denied her. I'm a local doctor. ADA rules are universal. You violated the law. Also, my birthday red velvet was thick and dry. They're supposed to be most. I've lived in Gresham since 96 and been here a handful of times. Never been overly impressed, but also haven't been turned off. You lost me tonight.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday and was pleased with what we found. We kept it simple with some mozzarella sticks and spaghetti/meatballs: both were good with the pasta tasting especially good. The meatballs have good flavor. The marinara sauce is chucky but flavorful. Being from the Massachusetts my Italian food expectation are low in this area, but I think they hit a pretty good mark here. Our server was phenomenal...friendly, attentive, never jept us waiting. The ambiance of restaurant itself is a little loud, but that was okay for a quick lunch out of the sun of the Arts Festival. Plus we did some good people watching . We will go back, but we will keep it simple as that worked for us.

First off, they MUST be removing their reviews on google because there is ABSOLUTELY NOOOO WAY, this is a 4.4 restaurant... We started off with the "cheese" platter, which contained deli provolone slices, SLICED TURKEY HAM, the thickest possible prosciutto ever?? And 3 slices of salami. Ive never had a worse charcuterie board than this. I swear Costco has a better platter than this, CHEAPER TOO! Now dinner time, you wont believe!! Me and my friends got some water noddles and frozen birds eye tv dinners. I had the Spaghetti Pomodoro which supposedly contains roma tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted garlic, and white wine sauce. Definitely WAS NOT roma tomatoes it was literally diced tomatoes. Fresh basil?? All I saw in my dish was dried basil you get in a spice jar! I think they missed the roasted garlic while making my plate. And white wine sauce... I sure wish it was! NO flavor, NO sauce just BOILING HOT noodle water. I cant even describe the taste! The Texas toast they served with the dish had more flavor than that but all they needed to do was pop it in the oven. Expensive dish for absolutely nothing! I sent back my dish for the fettuccine alfredo because its such s classic and basic dish to make! I dont know where these chefs learned to cool but that was NOT fettuccine, it wad SKIM MILK and parsley shavings. Had no taste, and was very watery. The smell is just indescribable.... It was like a public restroom type of smell My friend ordered the gnocchi and HOLY hell, that "blue cheese" was extra moldy let me tell you that! The gnocchi itself was very rubbery like packaged gnocchi, and the sauce was just a swamp of water and oil sitting on the top. The taste was just veryyyyy odd and we both love blue cheese! This wasnt that at all... For my drink I had the "Italian soda" with lavender. Oh! You mean club soda and a dash of torani lavender syrup? For $5!! OBSURD! Lastly, we very quietly told our server that we did not enjoy the meal we were very sweet with her because she was very genuine and her service was 10/10! She sincerely apologized and said she would bring the manager over, he never came by but instead walked by our table 4 TIMES with the dirtiest look! The server came back with the bill and removed all of our entrees and we paid for the appetizer and drinks and left a tip. On our way out the manager yet again, stood at the entrance and DIRTY looked us up and down and did not apologize! The inside of this place is giving cheap, fast chain restaurant. And a little side note for the owner, spaghetti carbonara is made with guanciale not prosciutto... -100000/10 experience I dont know HOW this place is packed 24/7 and the reviews are all 5 stars? Thats not realistic at all! Something fishy is happening here and its not the clams because we had that too and it was hard boiled clam meat that had no taste.

This was genuinely the worst meal i've ever been served in my life. I ordered the gnocchi and It tasted like Birds Eye frozen TV dinners, it was the worst gnocchi i've ever had and the blue cheese tasted so bizzarre, I don't know what went wrong. And for the appetizers we had the cheese platter... with one cheese. And lunch meat, canned olives, the thickest cut prosciutto, and Texas Toast bread. My friend's dinners weren't any better, we sent back one dish and we ordered fettuccine alfredo instead and it was almost worse! It had no taste besides a burnt aroma probably from the pot it was cooked it. If it even was cooked because it all looked and tasted like frozen TV dinners. I don't get how this place is so popular either. Our waitress said she'd get the manager when we complained and all he did was side eye us and walk past our table a bunch of times. Didn't even apologize or say anything as we left and we still had to pay for the drinks and the appetizers. Never coming back. Not authentic Italian. Poor food. Poor service.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. This is absolutely the worst Italian food we have ever had. We ordered the Frutti De Mare, Halibut Linguini, and Fried Calimari. The Calimari was a small portion and tasted like something you'd find in the freezer section at your local discount store. ALL of the seafood was overcooked, the salmon and halibut were super dry, the shrimp was hard, and the scallops were also from a frozen bag and cooked until they were rubbery and tasted like cardboard. The sausage tasted like dog food. There was absolutely no seasoning. Everything was extremely bland and had no flavor. We have ordered these dishes plenty of times at various different places and have always been pleased. For the price they charge for their dishes, they should be embarrassed and ashamed to serve this stuff. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Great staff. Great ambience. Great food. Steamer Clams w/ bread is delicious! Fruitti de Mare was perfect!

The guy on the phone was extremely rude and condescending. We wanted to eat at Boccellis for the first time and we asked if we needed to make a reservation to dine in and he sarcastically replied, "I don't know, do you?!" I was taken aback but let it slide. He then asked me how far away I was from the location and I said about a minute or two away, to which he responded and with an attitude I might add "well if you're outside then why are you making a reservation?" Honestly, I did not appreciate this rude behavior and I wasn't sure if I needed a reservation to dine in so that is why we made the call. Your employee think they know it all. Please fix this, I definitely do not want to come here anymore after this experience.

My friend got a sandwich, the bread was hard and the sandwich was super dry. The pasta salad was old and dry. The mozzarella sticks are the gross thick frozen kind with no parsley flakes and zero flavor just a bunch of gross breading that's not really bread crumbs. I can't believe people think this place is good. Maybe the pastas are better? Too expensive for the low quality, stale food we got.

It's been a long time since we have been here to this little Gem. I'm not a huge Italian fan. So when my husband said I want Italian, I thought let's go back here. I was so exited to see one of my favorite dishes was still in the menu PENNE ALLA ZUCCA Butternut squash, fresh spinach, roma tomato with fresh herbs and cream sauce. It was so delicious. Only thing that would make it better is sun dried tomatoes. So take the time and check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Food was okay, The steamer claims were good, but the Caesar salad could have use the anchovies like we had ask. Chasing down the waitress for the black pepper grinder and a refill for water was unnecessary since there were only three tables seated. The spaghetti and sausage, if it wasn't for the sausage, it had no flavor and over sauced with very little noodles. We been there many times. Sometimes we are pleased with the menu and service. Others times not. Always a hit or missed experience. But the wine is always good.

Food was ok....almost like something I could make at home. Thought it would be better for the price. Service was good. Ambiance no big deal.

Met a friend here for dinner on a weekday evening. We arrived around 5pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant was clean with updated decor. We ordered chicken fettuccine alfredo and shrimp fettuccine pesto alfredo entrées. Each comes with two small pieces of grilled bread. The menu states if you order a bread basket, it's an additional $3. No complimentary bread here :-/ This was a little irritating to see on the mrnu as most of the pasta dishes are around $20. The food was good, and we were both pleased. I was planning on a 4 star review; however, when I had some sauce leftover in my pasta bowl, I asked for a couple extra pieces of bread. My waitress said my only option was to order an (8 piece) bread basket for $3. I told her I couldn't eat 8 pieces, but could I just pay for a couple of pieces. She told me the bread basket was the only option because they can't break up the cost. I told her 'nevermind' and gave her my pasta bowl. Then she preceeded to sell me some dessert. I was so turned of by this unaccomodating experience, I wasn't about to buy anything else, or stay any longer than necessary. We ended up getting some frozen yogurt next door. The food is good, but the service is lacking. That being said, I'm unsure about recommending this establishment. This restaurant is located in downtown Gresham. There are about 8-10 designated parking spots behind the building, but they fill up fast. If none are available, you have to find street parking.

Attractive restaurant, pleasant staff. Basic food preparation was not good. Over cooked pasta that was rinsed with water. This resulted in a soft slimy noodle that didn't hold sauce. The meatball was ok at best, not very savory. No parmesan at the table or offered by wait staff. Marinara sauce was just ok. My wife ordered Carbonara. What she was served was Alfredo. There is no cream in Carbonara. The Alfredo was a gooey mess with undercooked pancetta. I did have a good glass of Italy red wine. The glass of wine was a generous pour. I wouldn't eat here again.

Amazing every time. And a great area! I get a pasta with clams and it's always done perfectly. I've never had a bad bite. I come in big family groups and it's been perfect !

The food here is really good! Their dishes stand out from other Italian restaurants I go to, and I love a large menu selection. Every time I come here the staff are very friendly and professional. Food somehow always arrives in a timely manner. Even when it's busy.

Great place with a light, bright, and fun atmosphere. Stopped in for dinner the other night a little late (about an hour before close) and they were very gracious. The hostess and waitress were both very friendly and the waitress was very efficient and attentive. I got the manicotti and loved it and my boyfriend got the tortellini rustica, which was absolutely fantastic. Great selection of wine, great food, and very nice staff.

Nice ambiance. The waiter was great and food was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

Went with my husband for the first time, day after Valentines. It was fairly busy, waited about 10min for a table. My hubby's Spaghetti Bolognese was so very good! I ordered a pasta primavera with grilled shrimp but was disappointed in the shrimp, was very small and not grilled. The pasta dish itself was just OK. Wish I had ordered my husbands dish! We were impressed with the Tiramisu and coffees at the end!! Will return to try some other classic dishes they offer like lasagna and gnocchi. They seem to do the classics pretty well.

I took my mom to dinner here while she was in town. Portions are small for the price, but the flavors were exquisite. The Caesar salad didn't have any Caesar dressing on it, so we had to flag down a waiter. But the chocolate ganache cake was even better than usual, so all faults were forgiven. That alone is worth the visit!

A nice place for a classic, comforting Italian American meal. It's got a great, old-school vibe going on. The various pasta dishes are all solid. Salads are good, the bread is toasted perfectly for sopping up sauce, and the wine selection is pleasing. Our kids love the options on the kids menu. If there's one thing I wish was different, I wish they had fresh grated parmesan cheese instead of the packaged, pre-grated stuff.

This is the Hubs and my "go to"when my Sicilian ancestors start haunting me... Food is always fresh and hot, even when we use Uber Eats. (Will not use the other two, ever again!) Our favorites are: Steamer Clams Fruiti de Mar Spaghetti Bolognese and their Brochette. I love the Tiramisu and my Sweetheart prefers the Chocolate Overload. I love the Chocolate Overload as well, he has about 2 bites of it, rolls his eyes in nirvana, and passes me the plate to finish it off... Oh Holy Moses... So delish! Now, really the only thing we think could be better is their bread! You can't leave a review on Yelp without mentioning the bread! For one, the recipe should be updated. It's just not that good. As an Italian Restaurante, a beautiful bread basket is just the right welcoming to have upon seating your paying guests. A little Virgin olive oil and a nice Balsamic vinegar on the side, even better! Bread gets your taste buds ready for an exciting change of pace. Here, they charge you $ for a very mediocre, rarely warm and thinly sliced grilled bread. (I can't tell if it has butter or olive oil on it.) There's just got to be a better bread basket to bring joy to Boccelli's guests. We need something to sop up all of the splendor that remains at the bottom of our plates and bowls! It's just bread. Let's break bread to be enjoyed though out the entire dining experience! There would be less negative reviews for an outstanding Italian Eatery, on a site that is another "go to..." Mangiare!

I wouldn't have have thought that I'd give this place 5 stars, but there is no reason not to. Everything was spot on. Our table was ready, the restaurant was pleasant, and our service was professional and friendly. Our server fish and Cree worked with me to come up with a vegan options and my pasta dish was tasty and yummy enough that I would get it again next time. The restaurant has very large windows, so you can enjoy the view of downtown Gresham while you're enjoying your food. There is plenty of parking around the restaurant, so it's not a concern. Come to downtown Gresham and support the local businesses here because they won't disappoint...

I was so craving Italian and I couldn't locate Olive Garden on the delivery app so I went with Boccelis. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was very watery with little flavor. The meatballs were dry and the salad I had was put together with little thought. The lettuce wasn't crunchy the onion wasn't cut up into small pieces, no olives, carrot pieces were cut to big. You'd think this restaurant would have heard of the perfect bite in salad prep. Won't order again.
