Bocanova is a Pan-American Grill & Restaurant celebrating new world ingredients, many of which are often associated with the old world because of their heavy influence on our favorite European cuisines.

Where would Italy be without corn (polenta) and tomatoes, or Ireland without potatoes, or France without haricots vert and pole beans all of which originated in the new world. What would Asian cuisine be without peppers and rice and this is just the tip of the iceberg. We aim To celebrate the bounty of New World ingredients through the creative interpretation of indigenous dishes from South, Central and North America.

To provide a casual environment that encourages our guests to nourish both body and soul through the sharing of meals with friends and family.

Trying different items on the menu is always delicious at BocaNova . Enjoyed the bay shrimp Louie salad, vegetable fritters and salmon a la plancha. Salmon perfectly cooked with light sauce with onion, tomato’s and green beans.

Loved the food. We hit it at 5:30 on a Saturday, so it was pretty empty, which we love! The menu is awesome so we’ll be back. Only negative: The duck wasn’t very flavorful so won’t try that again

The ceviche appetizer was fabulous. We each had a soup, one with chorizo, the other with shrimp. Both were delicious. The service staff was very accomodating. The only, very minor concern, was noise from the street on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance was very nice. We’ll come again.

Biconova is one of my favorite Oakland restaurants. It’s spacious, beautiful, and has delicious food. The quality is consistent. The music is perfect in choice and is just the right level of sound. I highly recommend Bocanova. .

Great space, and fantastic staff. The menu changes frequently, but the pork chop and the lamb chops were delicious. The fried mushrooms were a yummy surprise. The chocolate bread pudding is a MUST HAVE dessert.

Overall it was okay. One of the drinks we ordered was good. The other one was horrible. The mushroom appetizer basically tasted like calamari because it was fried in calamari batter. And the cauliflower was the same way. The duck tostada had so much hot sauce. It just tasted like vinegar. My scallop dish was good. The Caesar salad was okay. That's part of the dish. Was the bread pudding dessert.
