"McIlwraith is teaming here as co-executive chef with Kaili Hill the pair met while working at Barcino and went on to open another restaurant outside The Absinthe Group umbrella, Alora on the Embarcadero. (Hill previously worked at the Post Ranch Inn, 25 Lusk, and Niku Steakhouse.) The two are now returning to work with their old colleagues, creating a menu that will be "hyper" seasonally driven, centered on a wood-fired hearth, and offering generous plates of roasted meats and vegetables, as well as house-made pastas, both fresh cut and extruded."
"The team tested dozens of pasta ideas before settling on a half dozen for the opening menu some of which guests at Bosco will see being handmade during service at a a pasta station in the open kitchen. One stunning looking opening pasta dish, pictured below, is a plate of twisted green and white gramigna, which is accompanied by a pork and beef ragu, and topped with crispy rosemary and Grana Padano cheese. A dish of chicken and chive tortellini also made the opening cut, and will be served with a choice of clear chicken broth or a parmesan cream sauce."
Bosco opens in the former Bellota space at 888 Brannan Street in SoMa as a new Italian restaurant from The Absinthe Group. The menu centers on a wood-fired hearth and emphasizes seasonality with roasted meats, vegetables, and housemade pastas, both fresh-cut and extruded. Ryan McIlwraith and Kaili Hill serve as co-executive chefs and return after previous collaborations and outside projects. An open kitchen will include a pasta station where guests can watch handmade pastas during service. Opening dishes include green-and-white gramigna with pork and beef ragu and chicken-and-chive tortellini served in broth or parmesan cream.
