Boccaccio's Restaurant: A Venetian Dining Experience by the Lake

We had lunch here with a friend. We asked to be seated indoors to have reduced noise levels as our friend is elderly, with some hearing challenges. It was nice and quiet indoors, with lovely views of the lake ( the patio views, are, of course, superior.) Great service, good food. The chicken parmiagiana was excellent , as was the spinach ravioli! A lovely experience.

We made a lunch reservation for a party of 9 on a Saturday for a birthday celebration. We were seated immediately at a large round table outside with a beautiful view of the lake. The service is fantastic. The wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Since it was a weekend we were able to order from either the lunch menu or brunch menu so there were tons of options. I had the grilled salmon which was cooked perfectly. My husband had the steak frites which he really liked. He said it was a nice tender cut of beef. Our group also had the chicken parmesan and some breakfast/brunch items which they all enjoyed. They have a very large outdoor seating area and it’s nice sitting outside with the lake. Very nice weekend brunch vibe. I was pleasantly surprised by the price point since most brunch spots can be way overpriced. They served their signature Baked Alaska as a free dessert for the birthday girl which was really cool since it’s served flambéd. I really enjoyed Boccaccio’s and will definitely be back to try their dinner items.

Reservation that day for 10+ people - no problem. The view was fantastic and the food was great also. Our server what great - so nice and patient - she is a keeper. It was a great experience. Took a few pics of the salads and forgot to do the rest of the food.

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Boccaccio’s! We were pleasantly surprised to get a reservation on a Saturday just an hour before arriving, and the staff seated us at one of the best tables with beautiful lake views — the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The Veal Parmigiana was tender and flavorful, the Linguini Pasta Suprimo was rich and perfectly balanced, and the clam chowder was creamy and comforting. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. To top it all off, the Baked Alaska dessert was the perfect sweet ending — light, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. We’ll definitely be returning soon to enjoy another lakeside meal!

We love this place , we come very often with my coworkers. Nice atmosphere, seafood and the desserts are yummy.

I love this restaurant!! The service was fantastic. I felt bad forgetting the name of the server. He had a great sense of humor very friendly. The food was delicious which is equally important as the service. And the view was beautiful. Even at night during winter it’s still was beautiful.

What a great experience! We came out for Valentine’s Day weekend and expected it to be very busy, but luckily it wasn’t bad at all. My boyfriend made reservations, which definitely helped. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted nicely and seated right away. We decided to sit outside because they have a beautiful view of the lake, and the outdoor heaters made it perfect for dinner. The patio looks so pretty with lots of seating and chandeliers running through the middle, making it feel very nice and fancy. The service was amazing. Our waiter took great care of us, answered all our questions, and gave us the best food recommendations. For appetizers, we ordered the clams. They were okay—not my favorite, but not terrible either. They were marinated in a lemon sauce but were lacking a little flavor. For the main course, I couldn’t decide between the lobster ravioli and the seafood soup. I asked our waiter what he recommended, and he said the lobster ravioli—and when I say it didn’t disappoint, I MEAN THAT. It was one of the best raviolis I’ve had in a long time. So creamy and flavorful, I would come back just for that dish. My boyfriend ordered his usual ribeye steak with potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. I do wish it came with mashed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes, but it was still good. At the end, we got the dessert menu, and how could I say no? We ordered the crème brûlée, and wow—it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back again. Strongly recommend!

We recently hosted our rehearsal dinner at Westlake Yacht Club in Southern California and couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. From the moment we booked through the day of the event, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care — especially by Stephanie, the event organizer. She went above and beyond to work with us and even adjusted event timing and logistics so we could have the perfect space for our dinner before the wedding. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The patio in the back overlooks the water, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful the view was — especially as the sun set. It truly created a memorable backdrop and set the tone for the night. We did a buffet-style dinner catered by Boccaccio’s, and the food was phenomenal. Many guests raved about how amazing the steak and fish were, and the buffet offered a great variety that kept everyone happy and well fed. The drinks were expertly prepared and very well stocked, adding to the fun and relaxed atmosphere of the evening. With about 160 guests, we were a fairly large group — and yet Stephanie and the entire staff made the whole night feel effortless and enjoyable. They were attentive without being intrusive and made sure everything ran smoothly. Multiple guests even said they felt like they had already been to our wedding just from the rehearsal dinner alone — that’s how special the night felt. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with terrific views, top-notch service, and great food for a rehearsal dinner or special event, we absolutely recommend Westlake Yacht Club!
