Rehearsal dinner
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! -

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. -

Debbi Sent on 09/07/2024Highly recommend--amazing venue and food!
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.

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! -

Hattie Sent on 03/13/2024Excellent service and food!
We needed a venue for our son’s wedding rehearsal and didn’t live close by so had to rely on reviews. We were absolutely delighted by the venue, the staff, the food. Everything was perfect. The food was amazing and the options were very nice. Very affordable. We asked Pat for a last minute change and he was extremely accommodating. We received so many compliments on the evening and were exceptionally pleased with how everything turned out. We had so much fun and didn’t have to worry about a thing. 80 guests were super happy!Bocce Room at Ippolito's's reply:

Rachel Sent on 11/04/2022They Made Our Reception Special!
Having our wedding reception at Ippolito’s Bocce Room was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Pat helped us with everything. He was flexible and really worked with us, even when things changed mid-planning. The food was fabulous! We got so many compliments on the food! And the service was outstanding! Pat even came out in the middle of the reception just to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The Bocce room, even without decorations looks great. The few decorations that we put around just put the cherry on top. The whole night was wonderful, and we are still hearing about it from our guest. I highly recommend! -

We choose the Boccee Room for our wedding reception and they made it all so simple for us. We couldn't be happier with the value either! Thank you for the wonderful evening.
There are a thousand other reasons to choose this venue. Pat was wonderful to coordinate with and the manager running our event made sure everything went smoothly and righted any concern we had (maybe Kian?) He was vegan and worked with our vegan guest to create a delicious menu. The staff was beyond personable and took care of all of our guest, from to food to drink (shout out to David for extra attention to our VIPs). The venue is simply beautiful and did not need any decorations, although the staff was accommodating with the items we did bring. The venue is large enough that people can spread and mingle. It really provided a great atmosphere. The drink package was well worth it and I appreciate how my guest didn't need to fight to get drinks. Our one regret is we could not eat more, as the food was beyond delicious. We had a buffet and they kept it hot and fresh. -

I would definitely use Ippolito’s again and recommend them to our friends!
The Manager, Pat was very accommodating & pleasant. Although we ordered dessert, Pat still allowed us to bring a specialty cake before the dinner & kept it in their cooler. They served our appetizers & buffet so our guests would feel more comfortable with Covid-19. Thanks to the entire staff for your kindness & professionalism. -

Michael Sent on 10/14/2019Bocce Room at Ippolito's was outstanding!
The staff in the Bocce Room at Ippolito's was outstanding! We held our son's wedding rehearsal dinner there with 45 people attending. Everything was flawlessly and seamlessly done with little effort on our part because Kellen and the others serving us were on top of everything before we asked. From the drinks and appetizers, to dinner and desert, it was all done with clockwork precision. We worked with Kim and Pat to schedule everything, and they were great from the start. The food and drinks got great reviews from our friends, family, and relatives. The Bocce Room atmosphere was perfect. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks Ippolito's! -

Joanna Sent on 02/07/2018The Bocce Room is my all time favorite place to host a party of any kind. This room is perfect for every occasion; rehearsal dinners, retirement parties, baby showers, etc. The food is ALWAYS delicious and the room is beautiful. But, most importantly the staff is THE BEST! They are friendly, atrentive, courteous and go out of their way to accommodate you and your group. I have had several parties here (won’t go anywhere else) and truly they are the most professional group of people. Thank you for always helping to make our night at the Bocce Room so perfect!!

Susan Sent on 10/19/2017THE BEST!!! I held the rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Ippolitos, the Bocce Room. I cannot day enough good things about Pat and his staff. The service was OUTSTANDING! Pat was THE BEST to work with in preparing for the big night. The food was amazing. I chose to serve buffet and the food was hot, plenty for everyone and tasted delicious!! The Bocce room was perfect for our event. We had about 50 people and had plenty of room to spare if I had need more room. The bar area is open on all four sides so it makes it extremely easy to access the bar without long lines.
If you are in need of a venue for a dinner/party.....Ippolitos is your place!! -
