Location review insights for California, United States, Restaurants

10/10 food 10/10 staff 10/10 location 10/10 atmosphere

A fabulous spot for lunch or dinner. Highest quality ingredients, shopped for daily by the chef owner. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Each area offers a different experience. The patio with the warmth of the sun amidst the urban buzz of downtown Oakland. Into the bar with a wall of windows and a soundtrack of Peruvian music to accompany your delicious meal, cocktails or coffee. Then there’s the internal dining area with views of the stunning artfully designed courtyard garden, visible through more walls of windows, with a view into the open kitchen. A great place for large parties and events. Centrally located across from the Marriott convention center and steps to BART, you can’t go wrong with a meal or event at Bocanova.

A great place for a quick bite for this price range. The food is always tasty, service is fast, atmosphere is fun, and you can enjoy that great 13th St. outdoor seating.

The sashimi was very fresh also the peanut butter roll was so good. Noisy but fun atmosphere. Service was great!!

We chose this restaurant for our first night in SF mainly for its location near our hotel, in the Pacific Heights area, and also because of the great reviews. We were not disappointed. Having enjoyed a light meal at an earlier cooking class, we were happy to have later reservations. When we arrived on foot, the valet attendant greeted us warmly and opened the door. The place was full! We arrived about 15 minutes prior to our reservation so we waited a bit. The bar was packed so we waited near the hostess stand. We were led to a lovely table just outside the front door in a small, toasty, fireplace-lit room! There was even a personalized birthday card waiting for me! With only four tables, it’s a charming and intimate room but for the table of five women loudly celebrating a birthday. Our server, Chase was THE BEST! Without us saying anything, he apologized for the noise, noting we had requested a quiet table in our reservation. He told us they were getting dessert menus but he could move us if we wanted. We declined and the loud ones soon departed. The food is beyond delicious! My husband chose the duck breast and said it was just as good as one he had in France, which is his measuring stick for duck! I had the special John Dory and it was so moist and flavorful! Both were presented in such unique styles! Mine had a layer of scalloped potatoes that appeared to look like scales. Toasted just right, this layer provided a shield to keep the fish perfectly moist. A choice of breads, tasty amuse bouche, an amazing taste of the Sunchoke bisque made us regret not ordering a larger bowl for dinner, too! We ended with decadent beignets and a surprise slice of birthday confetti cake rounded out a perfect evening. We also appreciated the very extensive wine list and the way the sommelier brought our wines by the glass in the bottles and allowed us to taste a sip before pouring. In a city with so many great restaurants, this will forever be one of our favorites. Thank you so much for such a memorable evening! We can’t wait to return!

... for the always excellent cuisine proposed by Cristiano and Daniela. Regardless of the location, lunch or dinner in a place run by Cristiano and Daniela is always a joy, it is really to find oneself among old and dear friends. My husband and I found everything delicious, from mixed carp, to pan-fried rabbit with taggiasche olives, to desserts (ice cream at Baileys for my husband, peach cup and fior latte ice cream for me). The choice of wines and craft beers is also superb. Service is very friendly and quick, despite the full Sunday. The value for money is unbeatable these days (we spent 60 euros in two, drinks included).

Simply the best restaurant in the Inland Empire. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the incredibly personal staff and enveloped in a cozy modern atmosphere. Soon, you'll drink the best cocktails you've ever had, and you'll eat food that is delicious and simply made with love. This is truly a restaurant where you can safely order off the special menu every time, but the standards are incredible too, and so is the Sunday brunch! "When you're here, you're family" is a trademarked line from another restaurant, but Nuno's makes it a reality.

Review rating: 5.0

Our fist time here was amazing. The owner was so welcoming and accommodated us for my daughter’s birthday. Drinks were great, view was beautiful, parking was abundant. Will definitely come again, either on a girl’s brunch or date. The ferry is also so close where you can make a whole day visiting San Francisco.
