In brief: Until they bring back the $9 lunch madness, we remain disappointed.

Ok so it's pretty small and by three we were kind of hungry again, but for $9, it's a supremely well done portion of pasta. I don't remember being so impressed with Bocca last time but the pasta came out just right today. It probably defeats the cheapness to order an additional entry but I think there is a three course $17 lunch special, which is fairly decently priced. A good place to take an old flame for lunch or the manager you're trying to impress.
