Boccacio

Located on Hayarkon Street, just minutes from Tel Aviv’s most popular beaches, Boccacio is a high-end Italian restaurant that serves strictly authentic cuisine.

At Boccacio, you won’t just find the typical pasta with your choice of sauce as is typical in many Italian eateries around the city, but rich, fresh pasta dishes like the fettuccini marinara (the real deal with shrimp, calamari and mussels in rich fish stock and rose sauce) and carbonara (with bacon and cream, served with a quail egg), traditional lamb osso buco, and veal fillet in in port wine and berries, among many others.

You can supplement your dinner with Bocaccio’s extensive selection of Israeli and Italian wines as well as dessert, which is no less of a celebration, with a host of creative parfaits, the classic tiramisu and crème Brule, a pear tart with almond cream and more. Their buy one, get one free happy hour drink special is also a great way to unwind after a day at the beach.

In addition to the food, diners typically enjoy Boccacio thanks to its warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is small, but not cramped and is warmly decorated with unique paintings and sculptures that create a rural ambiance.
