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.

Great restaurant, food, and very friendly staff! We love this restaurant!

Excellent fresh and simple Italian. Friendly staff.

Dining at Barberio Osteria last night was one of the most satisfying dining experiences I’ve had in years!! When I and my two dining companions tried the amazingly fresh bread and wonderfully unique olive oil that they presented us I knew we were in for an unforgettable dining experience. Their sommelier paired our meals with a fragrant and effervescent medium bodied red wine that was perfect. Their pastas in our dishes were fresh and wonderfully textured. I had the Malloreddus while my friends ordered the Pappardelle and Cappelletti. The Papparelle in particular was OUTSTANDING, and I’ll order it on my next visit! We finished our meals with a Meyer Lemon sorbetto and dessert that isn’t currently on the online menu. But the featured hazelnut sauce will stick with me for a long time. The bottom line is this dining experience was so pitch perfect from beginning to end that a day later I am compelled to write this review. I will bring other friends to this restaurant so that they too can have the joy of experiencing it.

The pasta class was an awesome experience! We learned how to hand knead artisanal flour and make 4 types of hand-pressed and 4 types of filled pasta while learning the history/background for each. They showed us the machines they use to make their extruded pasta and freely answered all our questions. Beverages and fresh rosemary shortbread were available throughout the 3.5 hour class. After we finished making our pasta we got to observe them being prepared into the dishes we dined on afterward. Our teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend
