BOCCACCIA — Restaurant in Bordeaux

Have to admit I was skeptical how come a restaurant near the food market will have such high scoring but decided to give it a try and it definitely meet my expectation and even more When I got in I could see people are enjoying their food and was hinting I am going to have good experience here. Ordered the meet carpaccio and one of the spaghetti dishes. Spaghetti was excellent but the carpaccio was the best one I ever had and I had many of them, around the world. Boccaccia defiantly give a good fight to the gourmet food of Bordeaux. Had in this trip Michelin restaurant and I tell you this one beat them with its simplicity, taste...

We had the polpo and linguine vongole, both great. Linguine was on the slightly softer side but still had a good chew and mouthfeel, likely because they make their pasta fresh. Flavours were on point, sweet and briney from the clams, and the bottarga gives it an extra pop of umami and saltiness.

The polpo had great charred flavour as they cook it on a grill. Meat was tender, likely poached before going onto the grill. In terms of flavour it wasn’t overly exciting but still a good simple dish - mostly char, olive oil and salt.

Service was very attentive...

Somewhat limited menu but what they do have is great. I ordered two appetizers for dinner. I had the caprese salad that was under another name on the menu but it was fresh and super tasty. I also had the mortadella which I mixed with my salad, I loved it. My wife got their version of focaccia pizza which was obviously their specialty. We sat outside, along the sidewalk where there was quite a bit of foot traffic passing through but it was cooler outside than inside. Great food all...
