I recently had the pleasure of hosting a small group of guests at Bocconcino in North Beach, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Rosario, the owner, whose gracious hospitality made us feel like part of the family. His presence throughout the evening brought a personal touch that elevated the entire dining experience.
Our server, Antonio, deserves special mention, his professionalism, attentiveness, and expert knowledge of the menu truly set him apart. Without exaggeration, he may well be one of the finest waiters in San Francisco.
We began our meal with the crostini di prosciutto e formaggio, which were a perfect balance of savory and crisp, a delightful start. Soon after, we noticed a stunning pasta dish being served at a nearby table. Intrigued, we inquired and learned it was the special pasta of the night, dubbed the "Roma" by Rosario. While he kept the exact ingredients under wraps, he described it as a fusion of carbonara and meat rigatoni, a unique and unforgettable creation. It was, without question, one of the best pasta dishes any of us had ever tasted.
We followed with a beautifully prepared Caesar salad and a fresh, vibrant insalata mista, both of which showcased the quality of the ingredients and the kitchen's attention to detail. For the main course, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked red snapper served over creamy mashed potatoes, a dish that was as visually appealing as it was flavorful.
My guests sampled a range of entrées, including the eggplant parmigiana, the risotto ai frutti di mare, and the rigatoni alla bolognese. Each dish was expertly executed and received high praise for its authenticity and depth of flavor.
We paired our meal with an excellent bottle of Barolo, which complemented every course beautifully. For dessert, we shared three delightful selections: a lemon torte, vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, and a delicate white dolce cake, all outstanding.
