Bocca Bona translates to ‘Good Mouth’But in Italy it’s so much more than that, referring to someone who has ‘Great Taste’ for the finer things in life.It’s good times, full bellies and stories that get better after the second bottle.Boccabona is what happens when a few pasta lovers get their hands on a new postcode. Our family's third location on the Bellarine. We’re talking house-made pasta, cheeky aperitivi, loud laughter, and the smell of tomato sugo that’ll make you text your Nonna.It’s casual, a bit chaotic, that’s why Nonna would be screaming ‘Magna e Tasi’ (Eat and Shut up) to make sure you finish your plate of pasta. Exactly how dining should be — full of heart, flavour, and vino. Because here, we believe a good mouth deserves good times.
