This little bungalow on the Bay draws big crowds for the harbor views from its covered patio, complete with a namesake bocce court. Equipped with beachside benches for watching youngsters at play and toasty fire pits for warding off the late-afternoon fog, it’s often packed to the gills on weekend afternoons with locals lingering over a second (or fourth) glass of wine. Should the buzz get too strong, there’s hearty Italian cooking to set you right, including wood-fired pizzas topped with pesto, ricotta and kale; tender meatballs in a rich San Marzano tomato sauce; and rib-sticking eggplant parmesan dolloped with burrata. Perk yourself up for the ride home with a vanilla gelato affogato, drowned in espresso and sprinkled with Heath bar crumble.– MICHELIN guide inspectors
