This place has a good location and view going for it, but that's about it. Very crowded and only two single-person bathrooms. Each had a line of 8 people on a Saturday evening which snakes throughout the restaurant. Inside was very hot and stuffy. Overall experience not great. read more

Bar Bocce is always a wonderful vibe when I walk in. The staff are super helpful with giving you the best views and greatest recommendations. Great food and always a place for any occasion!! read more

Booked a group at Bar Bocce expecting to play Bocce. But... they don't do bocce, despite the name. Pity because I used to love coming here. Without bocce, it's nothing special. If they don't intend to have bocce, should change the name. read more

TERRIBLE!!!! Service was awful, hostess taking our order forgot the first drink we ordered. Then after going back to ask for the drink, she demanded we still pay for it. Then after we got our drink that SHE messed up, she said "thank you, thank you......thank you. Wow you're welcome " with so much sass and rudeness I was astonished The portion size of our $20 pizza was ridiculously small. The owner made us move 2 feet closer to the restaurant while sitting on a wooden beam on the beach, which we only sat at due to the very very limited seating. Then a woman who just started playing bocce on the court that was literally in the middle of all the customer seating yelled at us to move. We were only standing on the court once again due to the limited seating. Overall, this was a terrible experience and I am genuinely shocked at the level of rudeness I experienced at this restaurant. read more

Great location, Good food but disorganized. If you call them the Voice message says they close at 10 PM on weekdays but they do not sit people after 8:50PM. Please change your Voice message!! read more

Odd 90 minute rule for parties despite the fact that you can spend more while there. Not sure if it's roller over bc of Covid but should be reassessed as it's a more transactional experience if anything. read more

Connected with a buddy here. It's a great space, but limited so it can be hard to find parking and seating during dinner time. If you don't have a table, you're going to be stuck sitting in random spots. Sat inside and near the television, which wasn't that great, but enjoyed the appetizers and pizzas. read more

Bar Bocce - appetizers - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

Awful experience for my b-day dinner. Called them 10 times to confirm that we would have been there and that we'd need a big table. I understand Covid time is difficult, but if you can't do your job just don't open. They let us wait 1 hour 1/2 on the beach and we got so cold and they finally didn't accomodate us. The worst thing was the indifference and coldness they treated us with. Not even a nice word from the manager, Matt. He didn't care at all. He didn't even came to speak with us when asked. I had to go to him multiple times. It happened the same thing to some other fiends of mine who tried to go there and were turned away for lack of seats, and they were just 2! I don't recommend it, just go to the restaurant next door to spend your money and your time in a pleasant way. Bar Bocce doesn't have any idea of what "hospitality" means. read more

Food is always very good but as soon as the restaurant is busy the service and the food quality goes out the window. Last week we ate at bar bocce and ordered a dessert - Bocce bliss and instead god mostly vanilla ice cream... we politely ask for more sauce with cream and meringue in the desert and got very rude response and a few meringue sprinkle on top of the ice cream as if they are doing us a favor.... Very disappointing read more

I read about this place in an article and decided to bring my out of town friend while she was visiting. We got there about noon this past Friday and there were only a few lovely people there having drinks and playing. They seated us on the firepit but facing away from the water. We swung our legs around and to look at the view while we were playing bocce and enjoying our drinks, but left our bags on the cushions behind us (they are wide). About 20 mins in, they seated around 10 women all around the firepit, who literally pushed us off the seats, all of them looking at us like we were trespassing on their seats. One woman elbowed my husband and huffed as if it were his fault her bag hit him. None of the waiters, including the one who sat us in our seats did anything, or considered that we might actually want to retain our seats and finish our drinks. Perhaps they thought we were disposable tourists, or perhaps the 50 something drunk white women promised something better than what we appeared to offer. But it's the Bay, you should know better than to judge $$ on appearances. Luckily we were easily able to grab a quick drink at a neighborhood bar and make our lunch reservation elsewhere. Good luck with your misplaced snotty s**t. read more

View - 5 stars Service - 0 stars Unfortunately have to give them 1 star for the 5 star view and yelps need for review. Walked in with my children and wife around 3:35 PM for lunch & drinks. We were seated within a few mins on a small round table with 4 stools. We waited till 4:00 before I had to ask for the manager. Had to tell him, there were 3 tables that were seated after us and had already been served water & plates & got their Hi's from their servers. No one came to ask/serve our table for anything. The first response from the manager was "yes?!".. then I expressed my frustration.. next was a "sorry" from him.. but no action to call the servers to find out what happened!! 30 sec of silence & We walked out after I loudly with respectful words expressed in front of all the other patrons on how we were treated at this place. What was the reason? My family is Indian by origin & looks.. My wife was wearing a casual Indian dress? Or because I looked like this (we kept our masks on during all this time because of prevention/safety/social distancing/protocols/sense of responsibility.. masks would have been taken off after the food arrived) .. sorry my family does not want their picture taken! Most patrons seated there.. respecting their privacy. Honestly did not expect this.. Racism? Or just forgotten/ignored we were there? don't know what I learned here or what I should say to my family to justify this??!! Ended up at Salito's (next door) and had a great time that made us forget our experience at Bocce. read more

The host was terrible!! Waited for over 2 hours!! Didn't eat get to eat!! She was so rude!!

Was really looking forward to eating here and getting out and enjoying the view. Arrived and was told due to Covid we ere only allowed and 1 1/2 to dine. Well that's fine but it took 15 min to get a server to acknowledge us. My date had to wave a server down to get waited on. Her response was " she just got there". Well we ordered our drinks and then another server took our food order. The alcoholic drinks tasted like straight juice, the cesar salad was bland, pizza was good. The worse part was the Parmesan cheese had MOLD in it. We did not notice that until we used half of it. The server apologized and brought us more which by that time we did not want anymore. She did not offer to compensate us for anything which I felt any other restaurant would have done. Very disappointing to say the least...do yourself a favor and go next door, great service and better drinks!!!! read more

Great food and drink options with a view. If you're a party of 2, you can sit at a table in the sand

This is one of the nicest places to hang out with a beautiful view. Have some drinks and great food. They have a small beach you can have a drink and relax . Super cool!!! read more

Terrible experience and terrible customer service...Came here for a birthday celebration but was a disappointment from the start. Looks NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS from the website, NO BACCE BALL court, either. I was excited to try the pizza, looked very good. However, our waiter showed up looking homeless with a chip on his shoulder and couldn't be bothered to give us wine / beer suggestions. Repeatedly saying "I'm not going to read you the menu, dude". This person had no business being a server, let alone out in public. Total A-Hole. They should be fired asap. We ended up going to Seafood Peddler next door which was amazing! Spectacular customer service, fresh live lobsters, and great view. Spent $600 there, and worth every penny after this DUMPY experience. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Best pizza I've ever had! Amazing views and an awesome deck sitting right on the water. You could definitely look past this place, but it has truly one of the coolest outdoor spots (with great food) as well! read more

Visited this place last night, celebrating a friend's birthday and let me tell you by far the best restaurant experience I've had in a very very long time. I was so pleased with the staff who are so kind and knowledgeable with food and drinks. We asked for recommendations and the recommendations were genuine recommendations. The food that was recommended has so much flavor and it was so delicious that we finished everything. We had an appetizer, we had a salad, we had a pizza, we had drinks, We had dessert and everything was delicious. I was so excited to get home to tell my husband about this place so that we may visit again soon. If I could this place 10 stars I would. read more

It is hot, it is the weekend, it seems like EVERYONE in the Bay Area was there and we had a two-year old! AAAAAHHHHHHHH! We did snag one of the parking spots, but I dreaded, yes, DREADED the experience of four adults and one toddler trying to enjoy a nice lunch. And we did! We got a seat inside, another score as it is tiny and we had Allison taking care of us. Am sure she approached us with great trepadation(?) but we were good, regularly taking our grandson outside where the mob was well into their cups and happiness. Very great pizzas with unusual toppings, all puffy brick oven baked. Drinks were our necessary medicine and the pitchers, yes, pitchers of beer filled eased our pain. Bocce is a great place, on the beach to take a date, most likely during the less busy week. With the fire pit blazing, moon sparkling on the water and the best of comfort food along with a bottle of wine you will be sitting very close and cozy with each other. Be warned, but don't care. Bar Bocce will be a pleasant experience. read more

This place has 1 star elements and 4 star elements so we will meet in the middle and give it 2 stars. -Service: BIG NEGATIVE! We were here on July 5th and they were not super busy and our waitress was rarely seen. We stopped ordering drinks due to the waitress not coming back in a timely manner. I asked the waitress to put 4 out of six people on the same check and she baulked at it suggesting we could separate it at the end. I asked to to separate it from the beginning to make it easy, so Im not sure what her problem was. -Rock Shrimp po boy: lots of bread, celery and 6 shrimp served with a cole slaw that had an overwhelming amount of vinegar. $16!!!!!!!!! -shrimp pizza-weird + All the other pizzas were good read more

Ridiculous set up. One line whether you're waiting to be seated or just ordering drinks from the bar. No direction in terms where lines start. This place is fortunate to be located in a high tourism area. Staff was very rude. Food is good though so there's that at least. read more

Amazing pizza crust and delicious soups.... all the small bites are superb! Love the views and friendly servers! Wine by the glass is excellent! Don't skip this spot, it's a winner! read more

Poor service, the staff sat us down at the firepit knowing that we are a party of 14. (The fire pit would seat 12 at most) and also refused to let us grab extra chairs. The food was also mediocre. read more

Great food Great service Unfortunately dishonest. I sat down and was offered water by our waitress thinking it's like any other restaurant where the water is free and my friends and I were each charged $5 for spring water/sparkling water. I wouldn't have gotten that had I been let known of this information. Please let people know next time read more

This is feedback to management. You guys need to start taking reservations especially now during the pandemic. Nobody makes plans to go eat out without confirming a table first these days. read more

Has gone down hill since Covid. Why even call yourself bar bocce when you can't play bocce ball anymore? Staff was rude. Bartender looked like she hated her job and was very dry and rude to customers. They don't have a "full bar" so you can't order a drink not on menu or sub anything from menu. Looks like cocktail drinks are sitting behind bar in pitchers to be served. You can't sit at a table outside if you just want appetizers and drinks you either have to sit inside or sit on the "beach" which is a bench and some dirt and super unkept. Food is always good though and nice views. read more

Great little spot, right on the water, great shaded patio, a bit tucked away from the main partof Sausalito which means it has less tourists. Came for an early lunch on a Saturday, the two of us had the option of three open tables and were seated right away. Table service was a little slow in terms of being greeted, offered a drink etc., but I think a few tables had just been seated and the food came out very quickly after we ordered. And WOW my pizza was so amazing: fig, goat cheese, balsamic, and frisee. I was really blown away; can't remember the last pizza I enjoyed that much. My fiancé also really enjoyed his pizza, spicy shrimp, and since we were hungry from our bike ride, we both finished our pizzas. Next time I'll come for drinks and a game of bocce. The court was in constant use while we were there and you could tell people were waiting to play themselves. A popular spot on sunny weekends. read more

Bar Bocce - Fig, goat cheese, balsamic, and frisee pizza. Out of this world delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

Delicious food i recommend the sea food pizza. Ambiance is fun, on the water. Romantic during normal week nights and can be more of a bar during the weekends. Very friendly service. read more

Beautiful location on the water! Food was delicious. Highly recommend the calamari couscous.

When you make it over here to sunbathe, check out the harbor, drink, play bocce, or lounge by the firepits...life is good. Wait for tables is predictably annoying on weekends and open seating can be tricky to shark. Service staff is hit or miss - I've had some great bar tenders and also busers who are blind to the pizza racks and empty glasses piled up after multiple waves of people. Sucks to be popular? To try: pizza is awesome, crab louie sandwhich is tasty To drink: great wine and beer selection. sangria is okay but is a good decision with a group. Outdoor seating score: 100! are you kidding me! that's half the reason to come! If you can find a spot. Recommend biking or taking the ferry then walking. read more

Bar Bocce - Fennel sausage pizza, crab louie, 2012 sav blanc, mt. tam lager. views. cute toddlers. beers. just say yes. - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

I can't deny it, I love this place. You gotta get there at 11 to snag a table on the patio before the first ferry of the morning comes in. There is a 2 hour maximum on all of the tables, which I don't blame them for, I could legit hang out all day. BUT you can still order from the bar and hang on the beach, or just stroll around Sausalito for the day. I've got to agree with some of the other reviews, in that the service was a solid MEH, but based on food and ambiance it still gets 4 stars. Personal Favorites: grilled calamari, meatball appetizer, kale pizza, kale caesar, and an affogato for dessert :-) read more

Obvious discrimination. I've been coming here for years and this is the first time I came with my family. After we were seated they did not come to ya for a while. We observed them tending to 3 guests that came after us. We weren't even offered water. After patiently waiting, they would not come to us. I'm not sure if this was due to our appearance (were Indian) and maybe it was a coincidence that the other tables that came after us were all white. We spoke to the manager about it and got a strong sense of apathy. This is no way to treat people. Will not be coming here anymore. read more

Go for drinks & get the bread pudding. The food is mediocre at best. People go there for the view & vibe.

Went here because I read a decent review on Infatuation but left as soon as I finished my food. 1. Waited 50 mins for a table even though the host said it'd be a 30-40 minute wait 2. While I was waiting I sat by the firepit, a waitor approached me saying I could order while waiting for my table so I did 3. I get my wine and wait for the table... As the table is ready, the host takes us to our table and appears confused asking "how did you order already?!". To which I respond: "because a waitor approached us and told us we could" to which she rudely says something along the lines of "oh well then you can't sit here anymore I have to take you back to the firepit (which btw didn't have enough space) because it's another tab". To which I respond "we waited 50 mins for this table why can't they just switch the tab around". She then says something like: it doesn't work like that. I have other people waiting who haven't ordered yet (ok so isn't it better that we already ordered?!)... She rudely says ok fine just stay here. 4. Ok so we stay at our table. The pizza arrives with a hair in it. The (cooked) calamari arrives cold and tasteless. Pizza was mediocre (I'm NY based what can I say). Safe to say I will ~never~ be going back here. 2 stars is a very generous rating. read more

Loved our experience at this restaurant. Gave it 4 stars because wasn't crazy about the food we ordered however the service, view, drinks and amusing atmosphere made up for it. Next time Will order the pizza because the people sitting next to us made it look good! My husband and I came here after biking across the Golden Gate Bridge, and boy so glad we did. What I loved the most about this place was the outdoor area. They have an intimate fire pit to sit around and a beach area where you can hang out with your drink at hand chatting with friends. Highly recommend this restaurant if visiting Sausalito. read more
