GOOD FOOD. GOOD COMPANY.
Since 1991, Larry and Renee Anderson have welcomed friends and families to Bocca Grande. Larry’s grandmother lovingly called him “Bocca Grande” — Italian for “Big Mouth.” Her generous homemade meals inspired both our name and the hospitality we share today.
Set along the historic Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath, our family-owned restaurant brings together prime steaks, classic Italian recipes, and a warm welcome.
