Bocce Club

"Here's Bocce Club's claim to fame. Note the herbs spangled on the chewy-crisp and utterly delicious chicken skin. Note also two kinds of potato on the plate."
Michael Stern






"The chicken dinner comes with your choice of soup or salad. Portuguese soup is heavily salted and contains white beans, kale, carrots, bacon, and noodles. Delicious!"
Cliff Strutz



"The Bocce Club is a longtime landmark restaurant in Woonsocket."

"The Bocce Club chicken dinner."

"Each Rhode Island restaurant that serves the state's traditional chicken dinner has its own twists on the formula. At the Bocce Club, the salad isn't just garden stuff. It also is apportioned with shreds of cheese and twigs of salami as well as a couple of pepperoncini."
Michael Stern



"For reasons I cannot explain, we always get lost when looking for anything in Rhode Island. The Bocce Club is no exception. The car's GPS was stymied as we drove towards the outskirts of Woonsocket."
Michael Stern



"Pasta with red sauce is an essential side dish at Blackstone Valley chicken dinners. This version is OK, but no reason to waste calories when the chicken is so good."
Michael Stern



"Dinner is big enough, so don't ask why we ordered cheese spread beforehand. We regret having done so, because it was bland and boring."
