Best Italian Restaurants in Mission Bay / South Beach

Enjoyable dinner for 6 of us. Attentive staff, efficient service, very good food, and plenty of it. Quintessential SF North Beach experience.

An exceptional dining experience. Food was very good. Our server Ben was excellent. The staff was top notch. Chris, manager, was outstanding in his customer service. Although there is an Original Joes closer to our home we will definitely make this our go to restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

Great experience. The service was great and they were so accommodating as we had our 2 year old daughter. The food was great and so is the ambiance.

This is an Italian Gem of a restaurant . . . where you could easily take your Italian grandparents (visiting from the old country) and even they would be impressed. Being raised alongside my Italian grandparents, that’s impossible (well almost) to do. The show-stopper Ribollita (like Ma used to make) makes a guest appearance from time to time on the menu, as it’s labor intensive love on a plate to say the least.  Then there’s the almost impossible (for us) not to order . . . the Trippa alla Fiorentina. This is straight up Italian gangster, just like Ma used to bring up from the basement back in the day. The polished service from the pro’s at the front of the house to the back is outstanding . . . warm/fun ambience (with a full bar) rounds out the dining experience.

Dinner at Bosco was brilliant. I had the tuna carpaccio (vibrant and colorful and fresh) with buttermilk and hibiscus syrup, the grilled hangar steak with roasted potatoes, onions and mushrooms in a red wine jus ( I needed a slice of Kaili’s sourdough focaccia to mop up every drop of that savory jus) , and, for dessert, an amazing pear crostata with layers of pistachio and sweet potato , accompanied by malted vanilla ice cream. Chefs Ryan and Kaili just keep getting better, together with their team, who create a warm, welcoming and sophisticated experience. I’ll be back.
