Ippolito’s made our rehearsal dinner such a wonderful experience. The manager was easy to work with, the private room was amazing for our family and friends and everyone raved about the food. So very happy we picked Ippolito’s!

I can't say enough about Pat Santamaria who coordinated our event. He was quick to respond by phone or email and he was eager to help make our event memorable. He shared his experience and helped me create a menu and atmosphere that was so special. He staffed our event with the most professional and accommodating servers and bar tenders. They were so attentive and made sure that we were well taken care of. If you're looking for a special venue I would highly recommend Pat and his staff at the Bocce Room.

The Bocce Room was a great choice for our celebration following a destination wedding. The room is warm and welcoming and has a separate bar / appetizer area from the main dining room. The bar is accessible from both rooms. The main room has a nice sitting area and a large screen that was perfect for our slide show and video. Working with Pat (general mgr) was a wonderful experience as well as the staff that worked our event. They were flexible in allowing us to bring event theme items - cookies, "mocktail", decorations. I would recommend having more than one bartender. We had 50 people and could have had an extra one. This venue would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner, wedding reception as well as other events.

The Bocce Room at Ippolitos was the perfect place for our son's rehearsal dinner. The food was excellent! Many of our guests commented on how great the food was. The service was amazing! Everyone was so polite and friendly. Mr. Sanatmaria was very nice and easy to work with and put up with my endless calls. The atmosphere was very conducive to our guests being able to mingle and talk with people they had not seen in a long time. My husband and I were very happy and we would recommend the Bocce Room to everyone!

Everyone at the Bocce Room was super nice to work with. The food is fantastic and the rolls were the talk of the party! We had a great wedding rehearsal meal here that set the tone for the whole weekend. A perfect space.

We cannot say enough great things about Pat Santamaria and the Bocce Room at Ippolito’s. We had my husband’s 70th birthday party there, and it was a perfect venue. We had about 60 people, with a DJ, dance floor, appetizers, and regular and pasta-based entrees. The food was delicious and piping hot. For appetizers, we had the bruschetta flatbread, the chicken Marsala skewers and the eggplant rotini. They were ALL amazing, and our guests raved about them. The bar area and appetizer room, was very inviting for mingling and munching, and we had framed photos on the tall-boy tables and around the seating areas.

For lunch, we had bourbon salmon and the chicken spinach cannelloni along with the rigatoni pasta with creamy alfredo sauce with pine nuts. Again, superb flavor and piping hot, with the servers being very attentive and replacing empty platters with new. Of course, the famous Ippolito’s rolls and marinara sauce were also outstanding, and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed the entrees, meals, and also the salads (Caprice and the Greek salad as a salad “bar” were fantastic). Pat guided us through all the selections, and we did eat at Ippolito’s a few times to make our final selections.

For decorations, we did not need very much. The room is already beautiful with twinkle lights and beautiful lighting and candles on the tables. However, we did opt to have floral centerpieces with jeweled colors to “pop” out against the black tablecloths. The entire room has a ledge around the walls, and we put up about 25-30 large, framed photos from over the years around the room. It was a lot of fun for our guests to see our family change (and grow) over the years. The audio-visual system was outstanding. Not only did we have a DJ with ample room to dance, but also we brought our laptop and had an ongoing slideshow displayed throughout the event.

We also had a special cake from another vendor, which Pat and his team gladly cut and served to all of our guests along with Ippolito’s delicious chocolate cannoli. It was really nice to serve both of these to our guests, and they enjoyed these yummy desserts during the meaningful toasts to my husband.

Our friends and families had an amazing, memorable time, and we attribute that to the wonderful venue and food and planning tips that Pat and Ippolito’s had to offer.

We had a wonderful night at The Bocce Room for our son’s rehearsal dinner. Pat and his crew were excellent. They made everything so easy, from decorating to technical support to food selections. And the food was delicious! We were having to organize the rehearsal dinner from Ohio, and Pat really was a godsend. I can’t thank him and his crew enough for helping make the dinner such a success.

Our rehearsal dinner was made absolutely perfect by Pat and the Bocce Room team. The venue, food and service were all excellent. We did a family style dinner and our guests raved about the food.

Would highly recommend the Bocce Room!

The food tasted fabulous, the service was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was beautiful. They were also very accommodating with letting me decorate early. I couldn’t have asked for a better rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter in law.

I am an event planner and a client found The Bocce Room for their parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration this past May. I was hesitant at first because I am used to working with a different type of venue, but I was quickly shown I had nothing to worry about. Pat was so communicative, replied quickly and effectively throughout the process. He met with us several times to review layouts and the menu, provided a ton of options, and even worked with us when the guest count changed drastically a few weeks ahead of time.

On the day of, we arrived for set-up and the room was ready for us. For the first time in a long time, I didn't spend time correcting table settings, they were correct! It really is the little things sometimes.

The food was amazing, the service was top notch, the team on site went above and beyond. Definitely will be back with another event!
