About La Bocca Trattoria

This unpretentious Croydon trattoria dishes up honest Italian comfort without the inflated pub tabs. Regulars drop in for thin-crust pizzas loaded with toppings and rich bowls of fettuccine carbonara—served in properly heated pasta bowls so the sauce never congeals midway through dinner. Weekdays keep things accessible with designated bargains like Monday parmas alongside fresh salads.

  • Weekday specials: Weekly specials run during the week, including Monday parmas with salad and dedicated seniors lunch offerings.
  • Heated pasta bowls: Pasta orders arrive at the table in heated pasta bowls to maintain temperature throughout the meal.
