A family tradition since 1991

Along the historic Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath, Bocca Grande brings together classic Italian recipes, dry-aged USDA Prime and Choice steaks, and a warm welcome.

Our story

Larry and Renee Anderson opened Bocca Grande in January 1991. As a child, Larry was affectionately called “Bocca Grande” — Italian for “Big Mouth” — by his grandmother. Her generous homemade meals inspired the restaurant’s name and the hospitality we share today.

Join us for a casual weeknight dinner, a date night, or a gathering with friends and family. Settle into the dining room or enjoy a cocktail at the Bocca Bar. Our full menu is available in the dining room, at the bar, and for takeout.
