We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was actually full. The arancini appetizer was delicious and the Caesar salad was sooo good. Our pizzas were fabulous- the mushroom and the Italian sausage. Service was excellent!

This is the rare, truly authentic Italian restaurant in the Bay Area. The service is incredibly attentive and friendly -- even on a busy night. Don't miss the handmade pastas and the out of this world desserts. We loved the jovial ambiance, combined with high-end dining, another rarity.

Great find in SF. Cozy spot away from some of the downtown action. Went with a friend and had a lovely experience. Exceptional service. Loved the food. Would absolutely come back again if I was in SF. Would gladly bring friends or coworkers for a dinner out.

Bellanico is a neighborhood gem. The chef owner is always around, the food is wonderful and is a nice ambiance, on the earlier side and pretty but not glamorous or fancy.

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.
