Bocconcino

We dined on June 22nd. Everything was authentic Italian, including the wine. Service was outstanding. My wife and I will definitely come back. Don't bother going anywhere else.

It is a small storefront with another room connected next to it. Most of the tables are for two but can accommodate more. Our party was for six and we sat comfortably in the main room. We also arrived on a Thursday night when there were more seats, so there were no waiting. (We also had a reservation.) Conversions were bustling, and for a small spot combined with loud Italian music, it can get loud and intimate. The small shop does echo.

The server and host were very welcoming. Definitely ask for the daily special, but I didn't order it. We ordered some starters, grilled veggies, and fried calamari. The grilled veggies were a nice surprise as they were also pickled. The asparagus was my top pick, but the calamari here is perfect. The style and homemade red sauce were perfect. I definitely recommend this starter. The breading, texture, and taste was top notch, nothing wrong with them.

As for the main, I ordered the lamb shank with polenta. The lamb meat fell off the bone, and it mixed well with the polenta. The menu also had some other tempting choices, so it's worth a second visit. Did I mention the staff was very nice?

Authentic Italian restaurant in north beach with really delicious food. Servers are friendly and responsive with Italian charm!
Ask for specials as they will have weekend specials (menu). Good for couples/date. Not good for kids, groups or meetup.
Limited indoor seating and expect some wait time but worth it for sure.

The food, the service, everything was top notch

We didn't have a reservation, and they were fully booked but still managed to get us in!

Will definitely recommend!

We came here for a friend's birthday dinner without a reservation, but we were seated fairly quickly (maybe a 15 min wait) on a Sunday evening for a table of 4! We were seated in a back room separate from the main dining room area but honestly it was super quiet and private so we didn't mind at all.

Our servers were fantastic with helping with recommendations for entrees and wine. To start, we split a bottle of white wine and some appetizers, including bruschetta and caprese. They both were super delicious and fresh. For my entree, I got the Tortelli Panna which was a tortellini pasta in a creamy pasta with prosciutto and peas. The portion size was generous and the sauce was SO GOOD. After dinner, we also got some dessert, including affogato and tiramisu. These were so deliciously sweet and a great way to end the evening. Overall, really great experience and would definitely recommend for a great Italian meal!!

Called 10 minutes ahead and they held a table for six on a Saturday around 6pm. We had not been here before but found it by yelp reviews in the Little Italy area. Staff were very friendly and helpful and service was quick!

We ordered a couple appetizers, including the caprese. I was hoping it would be like the picture on yelp (huge basil leaf on top) but it had smaller basil tucked underneath - still tasty though. We got a bottle of white wine which was refreshing after a day in the city.

My absolute FAVORITE dish was the gnocchi! I've never had such light and fluffy gnocchi! It just melted in my mouth and was AMAZING. Living in South Bay, I would come back just for the gnocchi!!!

No picture would do the gnocchi justice so just imagine the texture and taste!

Ambiance was fine - a little stuffy in the side room as no air flow. Music was turned on later in the evening and definitely didn't add to the ambiance.

Had a great time here! The gnocchi literally melts in your mouth, and the ravioli sauce was soooo yummy (I think my favorite was probably dipping the gnocchi in the ravioli sauce haha). The servers were really nice and polite and always made sure everything was good. Vibes were also really nice! The atmosphere in the evening was really calm and pretty. Even bread loafer had a good time haha (not included at restaurant but the actual bread was delicious).

This is a must go for Italian food . Service is fast and it quite cosy inside . Get yourself a dessert

After browsing tons of different Italian places in north beach we decided on this place!! It looked cozy and reminded me something straight out of Europe. For our party of 4 we were seated quickly on a Sunday around 6ish which was great. They have a back area separate from the main dining room we were in!

Our waitress was great and helpful to explain the menu and help us pick a wine. We bought one of the bottles of white wine and a couple apps. The caprese was so fresh and tasted great and the bruschetta variety was delish also. For the pasta, I got the sausage pasta and it was amazing. Creamy delicious and a generous portion.

For dessert, we got the affogato and tiramisu and they were truly icing on the cake. The food here was delicious and everything felt authentic. Staff was great and adorable vibes. A definite revisit.

The best gnocchi I have ever eaten, ever!
Service was fantastic, delicious wine, and cozy feel. 10 out of 10!
