    Wonderful experience and delicious each and every plate. I can’t wait to go back even just to sit at the bar for a cocktail and some duck rolls! It’s been a while since covid to experience a restaurant where the staff genuinely cares and provides top-notch dining service even though we had 2 kids with us for our special Pre-Thanksgiving occasion.

    Always order their delicious deviled eggs…superb! Had the Sunday Supper. Appetizer, main course and dessert for only $40. A delicious bargain! Bocanova is an Oakland treasure. We have fewer and fewer of such gleaming stars in our beleaguered city. Let’s be sure to support them!
