A fun place with indoor and outdoor sitting, Bay views, fire pit and bocce ball court. Most importantly the food is delicious! An assortment of salad appetizers and pizzas that are freshly made and come with great flavor! Parking can be tight and sitting is on a first come first served basis. If you don't mind a short wait this is a great place for lunch on a sunny day! read more

I can't stop coming back! Seriously, it's rare for a week to go by without fitting Bar Bocce into my schedule. This bar and restaurant is amazing. I'm a big fan of their sangria, overall drink menu, pizzas...but most of all, it's the view that gets me. The waterfront location is unbeatable. Bar Bocce gets PACKED on the weekends, so beware. Or come prepared with a blanket to spread out on the public-access beach right in front, and go grab drinks at the bar. If you can, try to make it here on a weekday to beat the crowds. Either way, a trip to Bar Bocce is well worth it. read more

Perhaps it was the beautiful weather and my extreme hunger after a long hike that made Bar Bocce such an ideal spot for a Saturday evening. I had seen some mixed reviews for this place so I wasn't expecting to have such an enjoyable experience at Bar Bocce. What is so unique about this restaurant is the fact that customers can more-or-less have a picnic on the beach - or enjoy wine and food by the fire pit - or sit indoors and have a normal restaurant experience. They will serve you pretty much anywhere within the boundaries of the restaurant - sure beats long waits for a table at most restaurants! We chose the fire pit which was perfect for me. A carafe of wine and amazing wood fired zucchini blossom and burrata pizza were enough to sell me on this place and make me want to go back. The crust of the pizza was, in my opinion, perfect. Crisp and thin base with a nice chewy "outer crust." All of this while staring out at the water just ahead made for a perfect evening. Thank you Bar Bocce, I'll be back! read more

I dropped in for a drink, the place was humming - lots of beautiful people, much laughter, and great seating. I did not go inside, but the outdoor were addictive - nice view of the water, lot of seating for groups - and some for some one on a date.. The drink was just right - and the small pizza was delicious. I did not stay longer than 40-45 minutes, but would certainly come back. Parking and access was easy. read more

Since I'm local, I've been coming here since they opened. Food better than average, pizza quite good for Marin. My beef is the wine and beer prices. $31.00/ 1/2 liter of Rose on Tap. That's $62/ liter for wine that's never seen the inside of an oak barrel. Like most restaurants in the U.S. over-the-top booze profits offset break even food. In essence, drinkers are subsidizing the meals of the Teetotalers at the next table. Add the degraded service and kiddie scene, I'm packing Bar Bocce in. read more

Not my type of hype, over priced and super crowded, people can't even play bocce because those that crave sitting on the sand walk on the court. Service is nice, selection is just ok, nothing too splendid or spectacular if in the area again I'm gonna pass! 2 stars only for drink selection and then bread pudding. read more

Outdoor sitting and food both are good. Nice waterfront view. Had vegetarian kale pizza which was good

The view, the food and the service are beyond expectations! We stopped by and were amazed by the spectacular terrace. And the port nearby just accomplish it. Highly recommend! read more

The location is great: right on the water in Sausalito and thus a gorgeous view. I've been wanting to try Bocce Bar for ages, and last night we finally made it in. Parked in the lot right in front, and there were several more open spaces available. We arrived at 5:50 on a Saturday and snagged the last indoor table. The outside area was crowded with a large (`20 person) party around the fire pit, plus it was breezy/chilly. What we ate: potato/bacon pizza (fine), warm olives (fine but not recommended-you're better off at the olive bar at Whole Foods), asparagus (fine), eggplant parmesan (minimalistic interpretation of this dish; I liked the crispy fried eggplant, but others found it too oily), spinach salad (really good), po' boy (good). I wouldn't return for the food. What stood out: excellent beer on tap, the warm vanilla bread pudding (soft and silky but not soggy, delicious vanilla aroma), the coconut sorbet (possibly the best I've ever had). Service was mediocre/poor. Nice friendly server and staff, but it is always painful to watch your order sit on the counter for minutes while your server goes from table to table to her friend that came in to say hi etc. The single unisex bathroom was busy and everyone came out shaking their hands: no towels and the blower/hand dryer did not work. For our party of 4, the bill with tip came out to $160; a little steep for mostly unremarkable food, but not too crazy. I'll come back to have a beer and share a pizza outside on a warmer day, but there is plenty of room for improvement. read more

Amazing place. A glass of drink and pizza is all you need to just sit there and enjoy the scenic beauty. I cant just keep admiring this place which is a small restaurant with a million dollor view and the most amazing pizza i have ever eaten. Me and my frd happen to visit this place on a weekday which is preferable since the place is small and am sure weekends it will b full and you will have to actually wait endlessly to get a spot.We were at this place for an hour or more and din wana move . It makes u feel awesome here. If u r going to Sausalito dont miss this heaven !!! read more

Sometimes the biggest compliment you can give a restaurant is that it slows you down. Bar Bocce does just that. On a Sunday afternoon, Bar Bocce is not a place where anything is going to happen quickly and that's just perfect with me. On Father's Day, my family took me to Bar Bocce and we were told that it would be 45 minutes before we'd have a table. This turned out to be about right, but it was not a problem in the least. We spent the time waiting for our table playing Bocce Ball and taking in the view. Bar Bocce is right on the bay. We saw someone actually bring their dog to play in the bay while she was waiting for her food to be served. You feel as though you are on a nice patio that is on its own little private beach surrounded by the sights and yachts that make up Sausalito's shoreline. It's a setting that is so enjoyable, that it's really no chore to wait for your table. You are just glad that you are there. Many people at Bar Bocce don't even bother to get a table. There is a cement ledge that runs along the bocce ball court and many people just sit there. The servers come out to the ledge and bring food and drink just like it's an outdoor counter. While we were waiting for a table, we were treated to a sighting of "AquaMan." This is a guy who was using a contraption that allowed him to use water jets to fly about 15-feet above the bay and move past the restaurant like a sort of water rocketman. I don't know if this is a regular occurance, but it certainly got the attention of everyone there while he was "flying" by. We were seated at a nice table and, since it was brunch, we had an assortment of dishes to eat. My son said the brioche french toast fro the brunch menu was great. I had the rock shrimp po'boy which had a nice red bell pepper remoulade and fresh scallions on it. It had just the right amount of crunch and great flavor. My wife and daughter split a farmer's pizza with roasted potatos, bacon, fresh thyme and tarragon, and a sunnyside up egg on it. They also split a ceasar salad. We all really enjoyed our food. The total lunch experience, complete with AquaMan, lasted about two and a half hours. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Bar Bocce is not a place to rush. Just sit back and enjoy the view, the food and the experience. read more

Food ok in taste and quality but the menu is limited and a bit eccentric. Portions are very small and not worth the money even by Bay Area standards. Worse was the delivery. I ordered a salad, my son eggplant, and my husband a pizza. Mine came immediately, my son's a few minutes later and 40 minutes later, we are still waiting for the pizza. We put more money in the meter and asked to take the pizza to go. No apology aside from the oven only holds 5 pizzas at a time. No sense of serving a party as a party. While we still wait for the pizza, the manager has since come over and apologized and offered to buy us drinks. We refused and he offered to buy our pizza which we are still waiting for. When the boxed pizza came along with the bill, the manager had credited the pizza and our three drinks. That was very nice, but the whole experience was lousy since my husband ate his lunch as we drove back into the City Place is popular but we would not come back even if we were the only customers read more

Even though the setting of this place is amazing( right on the waterfront), we were very unhappy with the service. A $62 bottle of $8 wine did not buy us the right to sit at a table on the patio. After our purchase we were told that the tables were only for people who ate at the establishment. We could sit on the retaining wall of the Bocce court or in the dirt below. Mind you their weren't any diners at the place and all tables set empty. I highly suggest keep walking and find a place that comes with civilized seating:) read more

We've been to the restaurant at least 6 times before and we've always had a good experience. The food is ok, but a nice view and good place to take kids. Tonight was a little hectic at the restaurant with a power outage and people filming a show at the restaurant. Our waiter clearly tried to take advantage of the situation. He added the bill by hand. He included extra items on our bill, rounded up and included 20 % tip. He flashed a total and asked for a credit card. He knew what he was doing. We added the total from the menu and questioned the bill. He brought back our check and we had to correct the bill. He was a terrible waiter and offered no apology for trying charge us an extra $50. read more

Snob Alert!! Seriously! Great view though. After hiking all day at Angel Island with the Hubby we were hungry (really hungry) and chose to come have dinner here, our first time here. It was our 4th anniversary as well. And we should have brought a change of more classy attire rather than our hiking attire. Upon entering through the 'backyard gate' onto the patio you see all these well dressed folks. I thought this place was all about "pizza, vino and patio"??? We finally found the host desk and found out that there would be a 1hour wait! Oh heck no! Sorry, we're not waiting for an hour to eat I told the host then he said we could order drinks and relax on the patio, take in the lovely view or play bocce ball while we wait. Hubby then gave me the "we're outta here" look and we told the host, thanks but no, we'll come back some other time. He then said "OH wait folks we do have 2 seats at the bar, would you like them?" OH really?! Anyway we ended up at the bar sitting in front of the cook/chef prep station. Kinda cool. We ordered our beers and the salt cod fritters w/zesty citrus aioli. Since these were appetizers I figured we'd get like 4. Nope, only got 3 and they were the size of a golf ball for $10.95. They did not taste like any cod (fish) was in the fritters just plenty of pesto! The aioli was very thick. Was it supposed to be thick like that? I've never had thick aioli sauce. It took almost 20 minutes to get the fritters once we placed our order. For dinner I ordered the eggplant parmesan. And thats what i got. 3 thick slices of eggplant with marinara sauce on top. No bread sticks, foccia bread, garlic bread or even veggies! Who serves Italian food without some sort of bread! Not this Italian anyway! Eggplant parmesan was good. That's all. I've made better. Hubby got the Lasagna made with "Kobe chuck" (ooh big deal) and zucchini and burrata (cheese). That's it. No type of bread yet again. We laughed at the "Kobe chuck" (hamburger) in the lasagna, seriously looked just like the meat in a Taco Bell taco! Safeway makes better! For the price of that lasagna and eggplant parmesan and fritters its a rip off! Its a place thats serves okay food with a huge price tag. Just because they are in Sausalito 'snooty city', people were wearing their sunglasses inside the restaurant and seemed to be flashing their name brand bags/clothing. They think they can increase the price of a mediocre meal. All the Marin folks can repeatedly pay that and look cool and suave but I'd much rather put my hard earned money to a better meal up the street at Outback. Because, like I stated in the beginning we were hungry and this meal didn't suffice our hunger needs. We assumed with the high prices that you'd get a bit more for your money. We won't be back. It was a nice dinner with Hubby none the less. OH, and kids were playing around with the bocce balls and playing around near the waters edge. Where were the parents??? I know...sitting around drinking their vino and talking about their next trip to Europe! Our tab: $104. for 3 fritters, eggplant parmesan, lasagna and 6 beers= ridiculous!! read more

Sweet view, sweet spot. I was recently introduced to this little gem hidden in Sausalito as a stop on my bike ride to Tiburon. The outdoor patio area is really nice - fireplace and bocce ball. Wait, what?? Bocce ball? YES! And a restaurant name that actually makes sense! Pizza = some of the best in the bay area. Competing with SF's pizza caliber... and that's saying a lot! Zucchini salad was also surprisingly delicious. Their summer sangria was probably the least impressive since it wasn't really a sangria, but otherwise, a great spot for a nice, sunny day and relaxing brunch! read more

Dogs allowed? No. Children? Also no. "We just werent built to be a family-friendly restaurant" said the hostess I spoke to about their lack of high chairs after letting us wait an hour for our table. Well i guess this family wont be going back. Im going to build a restaurant that is ugly person-unfriendly. Or maybe i just wont invite tall people. Seriously, people. read more

I'm a native New Yorker visiting a friend in San Fran. We biked across the Golden Gate Bridge and she led us to Bar Bocce to grab a quick bite and drinks. We got the pitchers of Sangria for $34 (both white and red) so reasonably priced as well as the kale and ricotta pizza. I'm pretty picky when it comes to pizza but have been pleasantly surprised by the two slices I've had since arriving here. This pizza was thin crust and the crispy kale had a lot of flavor. The best part about this place is the ambiance and view. Right on the water with beautiful views of Saulsalito. They have a big bocce court (hence the name) which adds to the relaxing atmosphere. If you want to sit at a table you have to order food. The one turn off was the service. Our waitress was rude and a bit standoffish a bunch of times, so much so that we felt a bit uncomfortable. One side note: In case this review comes across as irresponsible as we were "drinking and biking", we rode the ferry back to avoid that which is very convenient at only a few blocks away. Definitely a better option than the 7 mile bike ride home for us! read more

Being able to sit outside is a huge plus. They have a fire pit and beautiful view. We had the kale salad which was excellent. We also ordered the prosciutto pizza with arugula and Gorgonzola...great flavor combination. Definitely recommend this place if visiting Sausalito. read more

The atmosphere, view & patio are wonderful. The food was delicious (we had the margarita pizza, tomato & basil soup, & the kale salad.) Unfortunately our service was very disappointing. Our waiter didn't listen when I asked for cheese on the side (this is due to an allergy), the bottle of water on the table was removed when our pizza was brought out and we had to ask to get it back, the waiter never asked us if we would like dessert, anything else, or our check- we waited for quite a while and then finally flagged him down. I hate giving less than enthusiastic reviews, especially when there is so much to love about this restaurant, I am glad that I went, but will not be a regular. read more

Let me just start with saying that I wish I had he appetite to be able to try everything on the menu, but that just gives me an excuse to return. We walked into Bar Bocce on an early Saturday afternoon to find a very lively and packed restaurant. Bocce balls were being thrown, couples were huddled romantically around the fire pit and a good time was being had by all-this place certainly does not lack for atmosphere. We were a party of 4 and only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table--not bad for just walking in without reservations on a Sat night. While waiting we enjoyed some beers while admiring the bay view outside. Service was brisk and friendly considering the size of the crowd. We shared two pizzas and two salads: the sausage/fennel/onion pizzas; Speck and burrata pizza; Fennel salad and zucchini salad. The pizzas are some of the best of the thin crust that I've ever had. I was at Flour+Water recently and I think these pizzas beat theirs hands down(plus I didn't have to make a reservation 2 months in advance) The salads were light and refreshing. We enjoyed a liter of reasonably priced Barbara by the liter which was very enjoyed by all. We ended the meal with a brownie. Now I don't normally like brownies, but this one was different as it came salted which made for an extraordinary brownie experience. We savored every bite and didn't even worry about the calories. The whole meal came to about $25 a person and we left very satisfied and thrilled that we've found a new favorite spot in the North Bay. I'm from San Francisco and I wish we had something similar to this, but it gives me a good excuse to go back to Sausalito. read more

I went here last weekend and this place was awesome. It was hot out so the girlfriend and I were looking for somewhere to sit outside and this worked out great. We got there, put our names on the list and went inside to grab a drink. The girl at the front told us it would be 45 minutes for a table and we were totally fine with that but were sat within 20 minutes! We ordered the kale flat bread and it was great. Prices were pretty reasonable, I think our total bill was like $50 for 2 people with drinks and food. No complaints at all. read more

The only thing i enjoyed here was the view. Margherita pizza was very salty and the sauce was overly tangy. What's with the baby basil leaves, it didn't taste like anything plus there was zero fresh mozzarella. 3 drinks were ordered from 3 people, Mule, Margarita & sangria all were not finished because it tasted really bad. It's like the bartender was just starting. read more

Bar Bocce is always a fun escape from the city. It's a short walk from the Sausalito ferry, and the outside area overlooks the bay/sailboats. The service was quick but not rushed, and they were really attentive to the needs of our huge group. Food: there's something for everyone here. The pizzas are SO good - get a few to split so you can try them all! We got a few pitchers of sangria (white is by far the best) and some apps (cod fritters were amazing). I came with a group on a Wednesday afternoon and it was still pretty crowded, so definitely expect a bit of a wait if its a weekend or if you want to sit outside. The good news - there's a little beach outside, so you can order drinks and food there while you wait for a table! The next time I have friends visiting SF, I'll be bringing them here! read more

First time visitor. Love it for casual dining, great pizza...mushroom soup was out of this world. Had a table on the patio and they had gas heaters for comfort on this foggy, misty afternoon. Excellent service, nice views. Had this delicious espresso/ice cream/heath crunch for dessert...started with an "A"...delicious! read more

Stopped here on a fun Saturday afternoon Sausalito adventure! Pros: - Diverse selection of drinks - Good pizza - Fun atmosphere - Right by the water Cons: - One bathroom for the whole restaurant! - On a busy weekend, be prepared to wait over an hour. Check back often because the waitlist seemed unorganized - Slow service read more

Granted I haven't been here on a crazy crowded summer weekend but I did go on a wed night when I thought it was going to be too cold. we lucked out and the clouds separated around the area the restaurant was in. Love the views, absolutely gorgeous esp with the fire pits going on. If you've never been here before the place is mostly outdoor seating with some small space inside but you really want to be outside here. My friend and I shared a bunch of things. Zucchini Salad: meh, i'd pass on it. Lots of ribboned veges and beautiful but was missing something. Calamari a la plancha: DELISH! Now if you want you some fried calamari this is not your dish but if you like it naked & grilled it's really good with the cous cous (think it's israeli cous cous which is bigger grains) Squash Blossom Pizza: Really good and dare I say this knowing I will get lots of BOOS, but i like their pizza better than Picco. Brownie: i'd skip it, similar to something you can make at home. I'd rather have more pizza. :) My friend and I ate the full pizza between the two of us along with the other items so be aware that you should get a few courses to get your belly full but then again we were there for a long time chatting. Service is great, lots of good recommendations from our waitress. My family from Washington came to SF for sightseeing and they came here and it was one of their favorite things they did. So at least give it a shot, if you dont like the food then at least you got a great view. read more

After a long day's bike across the bridge, we ended in Sausalito for some relaxation and food! We came to bar bocce after a friend's recommendation. The views were the star here! It is clearly a laid back, slow-paced restaurant...but keeping that in mind, service is extremely slow, to the point of "okay i'm thirsty and need water" but it takes 20 minutes to get anyone's attention. The spicy shrimp pizza was so good...unique and well made! However, the pea crostini was such a let down! First off, they only bring ONE crostini...$11 for one piece of bread is a joke! I have never, ever seen this at any restaurant! Though great in concept, the crostini was one noted. Drinks were wonderful, however! The minted berry was so refreshing and minty! House made sodas were a nice touch too. Overall, great place to relax in Sausalito, but don't expect to be blown away. read more

The lady at the front desk is terrible at her job. Couldn't get a table because the wait was too long. Which was ok. But the lady failed to mention we could get a "to go" order. Do not even try to come here in the afternoon. read more

Horrible Service. Our waitress Marla was extremely rude, incompetent, and discriminatory. My 3 friends and I went out for dinner tonight and we did not receive very courteous service to begin with. Marla did not offer us water or even ask us how we were doing. We ordered Two Pizzas and a couple of drinks.The food is okay with decent options of other sides and dishes besides pizzas. However, nothing worth the horrible customer experience my fríends and I received towards the end of the night. After we finished our meal and enjoyed affogato desserts we asked Marla to split our check to which she responded by asking us for our cards in a very aggressive and rude tone. while she got the bills ready, my friend and I stepped away from the table to use the bathroom. After we returned, we were made aware by our two other friends, STILL seating at the table, that Marla rudely exclaimed "where did the other two go!" (obviously insinuating that we had left without paying) to which my friends responded that we simply had stepped away for the bathroom. Her tone and aggression in this statement was out of place and not to mention unbelievably discriminatory as we were three women of color seating at the table. The manager Matt failed to properly address the situation and even downplayed our experience. We did not even receive an apology on his behalf but rather sided with Marla saying that she did not mean her words to be discriminatory. PLEASE SAVE and take your money and enjoy a meal at other better customer oriented restaurants. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here! We went here last night for a company party. Good food, good wine, and everyone enjoyed playing Bocce. I'd recommend the sausage pizza and the Kobe beef lasagna. read more

Bar Bocce is an awesome place! I've always have a pleasant experience when I'm here. On a nice day, when you're able to sit outside and by the fire pit, it's very relaxing! I am not a huge fan of kale, but the kale pizza here is amazing! I get it every time I'm here. read more

Bar Bocce - Beer by the fire pit. - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

See all

Bar Bocce is not a quiet, fancy sit down restaurant. It is however still a 5 star place in sheer cool factor and destination alone; plus they've got PHENOMENAL pizza. Whether you're a local or a tourist that biked in over the bridge, Bar Bocce always has a steady-at times a huge- diverse and seemingly always well dressed crowd any time of day Mon-Sun and of course a Ferarri or two parked outside. It's a fun scene placed right up on the water; you can walk right in after overstepping the Bocce courts. Sailboats swaying and their ropes clanging in the background make it the perfect place to drink down your pitcher of beer or sangria before devouring their Kale pizza in bless. Yup, KALE. Sounds funky- yeah- I hate the stuff too. It's so delicious on their pizza though..... Ron Swanson would even eat it. If you're tourist, there's nothing more California than Kale :) Pro guide: Order a [Kale :)] pizza for pick up ahead of arrival. Place your drink order at the bar and pull up some wall along the water or some sand on their beach to enjoy the finer things in life while skipping much of the wait. Bringing a blanket to sit on and your own booze (their beach outback is OK to drink your own at) if you can plan ahead is best! read more

Worst bar staff ever. Bad sugary syrup-based cocktails. Nice door staff. Overall fun atmosphere. Order drinks. Pay high price. Tip largely. Wait for drinks to be made. Bartender waves me from the other side of the bar to come collect my drinks. I as nicely as possible signal him that I'd like to not have to dig through the crowd and have my drinks on my side of the bar. Bartender dumps my drinks in front of him for me to come and collect and moves to his next customer. Rude. Rude. Rude. read more

Could be a 4-star establishment with quicker more attentive service (slow beverage delivery; no water served, etc.), but the servers and waitstaff were nice. Went there for lunch midweek and there was no problem getting seats outside. Food: had the potato/bacon pizza and eggplant parm. The dough was excellent but the toppings were a little on the sparse side. Still a very good pie. The parm was pretty solid also. Prices were $ausalito-Moderate at $60+ for 2. The bocce court and outside patio design facing the bay is, of course, a huge draw to the place along with the food. It's a terrific space alright. I'd go back again. read more

I'm right along with the other reviews that the setting, right on the beach can't be beat. And it is unique how they have basically a private beach and can bring you food out there. But here's the deal, the view and the beach were already there-- I can't rate them on that, it's what they have done with it. We spent around $250 at this place and got so little in terms of actual food and drink I couldn't believe it. The quality of the things we ordered was good. But seriously, if you are going to have LASAGNA on your menu and charge $17.95 for it... lasagna is meant to be thick, large, a big BLOCK of lasagna, right? The lasagna here is excellent, but it was maybe 3/4ths of an inch thick and served in a little round like creme brulee dish. I am not exaggerating... tiny! Meatballs, like 10 bucks and you get 2 or 3. Spicy shrimps, I think there were 5 or 6 small shrimps, again like 12 bucks. We ordered a pizza, a salad, a couple of entrees, several appetizers and truly, it was barely enough food to comprise a meal. The breadsticks even came with I think 3 small breadsticks. I just can't believe the amount we spent in relation to what we got. Again, the food was good... just wanted a lot more of it for the price. I'm used to bar-type restaurants loading you up with food... Maybe come here for drinks, atmosphere, some bocce and some beach, but stay away from the food menu. read more

This is the best gem in the whole area. If you haven't been to Bar Bocce, go. Now. The scene is awesome, beer is flowing, right on the beach, food is amazing, gotta heck it out. read more

Bar Bocce - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

This place is really relaxing, which isn't what I'm normally looking for in a bar, but it works here. Beautiful spot on the water, open air bar, and as the name hints, a bocce ball court. They actually had the bocce ball court before it started becoming cool to put bocce ball courts in bars like I've seen lately. If you're visiting SF, take the ferry over to Sausalito and check out this spot....you'll be happy you did. read more

Bar Bocce - Pizza Near Me - Sausalito, California

Come here on warm days (or nights) with a date or a group of friends. Fun venue, social, great vibe.

A fun spot with a beautiful view! We went on a chilly afternoon and were pleased that there was no wait and that our table outside had a heat lamp to keep us warm. The ambiance is really cute. I love the fire pit! Not only is the view pretty and the games fun, but the food is actually really good. We loved the cod fritters and the pizza (I got the one with speck and burrata). It's true that it is pricy (16-18 for most pizzas and sandwiches), but you are paying for the location. read more
