New to Bocce?

Two teams take turns rolling their balls toward a small target ball called the pallino. After everyone rolls, the team closest to the pallino scores a point for each ball closer than the other team's best. Play to the agreed score and that's the game. Most people have it down by the second round.

Food & Drinks

Make a night of it with wood fired pizza and jumbo wings, rotisserie chicken, and cold drinks from our full bar. See the full menu.
