"We now have an opening date for Bosco, the Absinthe Group's new Italian spot in the former Bellota space (888 Brannan), which we first learned about two weeks ago. It's set for a September 10 opening, the Chronicle reports, and the chef is the same executive chef who opened Bellota as well as the group's other Spanish spot Barcino a few years later, Ryan McIlwraith."
"Chef McIlwraith's resume has recently been updated to show he has left Alora, the Embarcadero restuarant he opened two years ago, to return to the Absinthe Group. And he tells the Chronicle today that he worked with his team to whittle down a list of 50 pasta dishes to the seven or so that will be on the opening menu including a delicious sounding lemon spaghetti with sungold tomato sauce; and a chicken tortellini in brodo."
Bosco will open September 10 at 888 Brannan in the former Bellota space. Chef Ryan McIlwraith returns to the Absinthe Group after leaving Alora and led menu development. The opening menu will feature about seven pastas selected from an original list of 50, including lemon spaghetti with sungold tomato sauce and chicken tortellini in brodo. The menu aims to feel San Francisco rather than strictly classic Italian. Shuggie's reopens August 29 as an immersive climate‑positive dinner club focused on whole‑harvest cooking, low‑ABV cocktails made from fruit and vegetable scraps, an 'old Vegas glam' dining room, weekly live jazz, and new dishes including tuna rib crudo and a schnitzel‑style wild boar chop. Souley Vegan has returned in Oakland.
