Bobos
began with the dream of a succulent steaks and crab with a warm,
relaxed environment to enjoy them in. Jerry Dal Bozzo, Dante Serafini
and Andrea Froncillo the trio of North Beach-based restaurateurs
who operate five unique eateries in California wanted to
open up a boutique restaurant that felt as intimate as dining at
home.
In preparation for their venture, they tasted every
well-regarded steak from New York to California. They discovered
that there were no restaurants on the West Coast that offered steak
dry-aged for more than twenty-one days. Believing that the extra
time and attention creates a steak that is truly superior, they
formed a partnership with one of the few meat purveyors whose facilities
and quality control offer a steak dry-aged four to six weeks. Today,
"the steak" on Bobos menu is the only steak of its
kind on the west coast.
The interior of the restaurant was just as carefully
assembled as the menu. Jerry Dal Bozzo spent hours sourcing one-of-a-kind
items, including Bobos namesake, a hand-painted marionette
that perches over the door to the kitchen. The result is nothing
short of magical; Bobo's looks like a jewel box, with a curved mahogany
bar, sexy red walls, striped tablecloths and plush leather booths.
