Get ready to drool, Bay Area foodies! The Absinthe Group has just dropped their latest culinary gem in SoMa, and it’s serving up Italian cuisine that’s about as San Francisco as sourdough and tech bros.

Bosco, nestled in the former Bellota space at 888 Brannan Street, isn’t your nonna’s traditional Italian joint. Co-executive chefs Ryan McIlwraith and Kaili Hill are crafting a menu that screams California cool with an Italian accent.

Wood-Fired Deliciousness

The restaurant’s centerpiece is a wood-fired hearth that’ll be churning out mouthwatering roasted meats and veggies. Picture this: twisted green and white gramigna pasta swimming in a rich pork and beef ragù, topped with crispy rosemary and Grana Padano cheese. Um, yes please!

Cocktails That Tell a Story

The bar program is equally impressive, with former ABV bartender Ammiel Holder creating drinks that are basically liquid poetry. The Bosco Americano, a Negroni variation featuring kiwi-and-mint-infused Campari, sounds like a transformative experience in a glass.

Forest Vibes, Bay Area Style

The restaurant’s design channels woodland energy with earthy leather banquettes and Bay Laurel wood furnishings. It’s like if a chic Italian trattoria and a NorCal forest had a beautiful, delicious baby.

Bosco is now open Tuesday through Saturday, and trust us, you’ll want to snag a reservation ASAP.
