Bocconcino | Restaurant Düsseldorf Medienhafen in Düsseldorf

The restaurant is beautifully situated and offers a view from the terrace, and the ambiance is pleasant. Unfortunately, the service was unsatisfactory – the male waiter in particular seemed unfriendly and unwelcoming. When it came to paying, we were greeted very rudely with a "Come on, come on, next!" even though the person in front of us hadn't even put their card away and we were standing directly behind them. The table wasn't cleared away, and we were expected to put the starter plates away (?) and take the food and place it ourselves if we weren't sitting on the right side. This is acceptable, but rather unusual given the prices. The food tasted okay at best.

Nice place, but the staff kept rearranging all the tables and chairs while we were sitting on the terrace, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. When we pointed out that we didn't feel comfortable in our seats, they became rude. Never again at Bocconcino!

I don't usually like leaving bad reviews, but anyone who charges such exorbitant prices for their drinks should at least know the basics. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. If you're considering coming here, do it for the food.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. For the price, I would have expected much more. The risotto was bland in flavor, not sloppy, not creamy. The fillet tips were placed on top, not dressed, not dressed. I'd say anyone could do it better at home. When I pointed out that the risotto lacked flavor, the kitchen responded that the recipe was as it is. For €30, this is unfortunately inadequate and incomprehensible.

A wonderful restaurant with good, courteous, and attentive service. The food is of high quality, and the menu isn't overflowing with ideas, but rather conveys the feeling that someone has really put some thought into it.

Super friendly and attentive team, the stone oven pizza is a dream 🤤 the location is perfect by the water

A true highlight in the Media Harbor! We were completely impressed by Bocconcino – from the stylish atmosphere to the excellent service. The Italian cuisine is authentic and of a very high standard: fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The homemade pasta dishes and the selection of antipasti are particularly recommended. The wine was also expertly recommended and matched perfectly. If you love Italian cuisine, this is the place for you – we'll definitely be back!

We waited 60 minutes for food, that's not acceptable in a store like this

Absolutely fantastic! Great selection, amazing quality, and unbeatable service. Everything just fits perfectly here – I'd be happy to come back!

Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. There were six of us there, and we each had starters and then a main course. Starters: They were okay. Main courses – unfortunately disappointing First of all: When we ordered, the place was still relatively empty. We unfortunately had to wait a very long time for our main courses. Guests at neighboring tables, who arrived significantly after us, received their food before us – some were even finished while we were still waiting. Despite repeated promises like "The food will be right there," it took a very long time before it was finally served. Unfortunately, the food wasn't really hot by then. The truffle pizza with arugula was particularly disappointing: It arrived lukewarm – and without arugula. There were also only 4-5 very small slices of truffle on it. That's too few for the price. When we asked about the missing arugula, it took another 10 minutes before we were told that "arugula isn't on the menu" – and then shown the English menu. However, arugula is definitely listed on the German menu. After waiting for almost two hours, this is hard to understand – especially in a restaurant of this price range. Service should be good. And if such delays occur, it would have been nice if they had at least responded with some kind of concession afterwards. Unfortunately, we had to pay the full amount. A small compensation – be it a dessert, a drink, or a small discount – would have made a real difference in this situation. It's a real shame.

The food was great. The waiter was a bit slow and inattentive. We wanted to order more drinks, but the waiter was nowhere to be seen.

Great restaurant. Great food. Great service!

The food, taglitelle with salmon, was incredibly delicious. The fish was juicy and the pasta was cooked al dente. Absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, the portion was a bit too small for me. The price was definitely on the higher end. Nice ambiance and very friendly service.

Today, after being left waiting for 15 minutes, we got up. The waiter walked past us five times and there were only four tables occupied. Very disappointing especially given the prices! You should definitely choose your staff better!

The food tastes good. However, the ambiance, service, and price are negative. People smoke on the enclosed terrace even though everything is closed (like the interior). The food came so quickly that it bordered on mass processing. The prices are outrageously inflated. For example: a regular pizza (tasty, but nothing special) for €25. So, it's better to find another restaurant for a nice evening and not be fooled by Google reviews. We will definitely never visit the restaurant again.

Very tasty food, friendly welcome, nice and clean ambience. The terrace with the view is a real highlight; I'd love to come back!

Unfortunately, smoking is allowed indoors. A no-go! There are also people standing around here and there, like bodyguards, which doesn't create a cozy atmosphere. The main course came so quickly that we hadn't even finished the appetizer. Also, parts of our order were missing. All in all, not particularly attentive. Conclusion: The food is delicious, but they place more emphasis on a great Instagram picture than on actual service.

The food was delicious but without a starter we weren't full from the main courses.

Stylish restaurant with a great view of the Media Harbor and an open kitchen. The stuffed pasta with pumpkin and cheese sauce was delicious, but the portions were small. The panna cotta was okay, but not a highlight. Overall, a lovely place for a relaxed lunch with style. Also suitable for larger groups.

Food is alright. But the service is really something. I received a large coke instead of a small one and a different order than what I asked. When I confronted the personnel they basically just shrugged it off. They could have at least apologised for mixing it up? My colleague also asked for more salad than potatoes as a side dish, instead she received much more potatoes than salad. First and last time I come here.

Very unfriendly service, not very attentive, we didn't feel comfortable, food was okay but it's disproportionate to the price.

The food was okay, although below our (high) expectations. - Our female waiter was great. - The gentleman who was still serving as a waitress was in a bad mood and not very welcoming. The previously reserved space was not reserved for us. - Luckily there was enough space. There is potential for improvement...

Nice atmosphere… but unfortunately very poor service. The waiters are overwhelmed and not sufficient for such a large restaurant. The sea bream served also looked very unaesthetic, it should have been a whole filleted sea bream... Unfortunately we weren't satisfied and wouldn't try it again.

Schade, dass trotz Nachfragen keine Kulanz bzw. Preisnachlass gewährt wurde. Der Bocconcino Teller wurde trotz sehnigem/ zähen Fleisch zwar neues Fleisch angeboten wurde, jedoch kein Espresso oder Dessert🧐 Wäre bei der italienischen Servicekraft nicht passiert.

If you order pasta from you on Uber Eats, please include a few small side dishes such as parmesan or baguette bread. I'm not talking about a whole baguette, I'm talking about 2-3 slices. This is actually normal for all other Italians. You only deliver pure pasta, nothing else. For prices around 30 euros, that's definitely not enough. Otherwise there is nothing to complain about in terms of taste. The food is good. The only thing that annoys me is your policy that you charge 30 euros for pasta and then charge extra money for baguette bread. Nobody does that, just you.

We always enjoy visiting Bocconcino. The food and service are sensational. Requests are taken into account and the employees are very attentive and friendly. Therefore a clear recommendation

Wonderful, high-quality, wide-ranging Italian cuisine with an excellent, polite waiter of Egyptian origin! Atmosphere in the media harbor and also in the restaurant with a great outdoor terrace is worth a visit! See you soon! 👍🏻👍🏻

Very tasty pizza!!! And incredibly nice service! 😍

The restaurant offers all the ingredients you need for a cozy culinary evening with your partner and friends or colleagues, especially in the warmer months, you can sit on the terrace very well, with a view of the canal, very quiet, no traffic in a quiet atmosphere, chat, exchange ideas and, above all, experience Italian food at the highest level

Mussten ewig auf unser Essen warten und dann kam die falsche Bestellung. Gab dann trotzdem nochmal einen Fehler, sodass eine Freundin auch im 2. Durchgang kein Essen bekommen hat

Very nice atmosphere but unfortunately disappointing cuisine and service. Today I had a dinner date with a group of 8 people. The prices on the menu promised good quality and service. I had the fettucine with beef fillet tips, mushrooms and creamy sauce. The pasta was just aldente and the fillet tips were very tough and dry. My friends had similar problems with small portions, for example a salmon fillet with soar gel and 4 small boiled potatoes, or a risotto with half a sliced ​​asparagus stalk. 2 dishes came late, one of which was wrong and the other didn't come at all and was only prepared after we asked. It's really a shame that this restaurant is so disappointing.

Great food. The luxury asparagus pizza was truly world class. The service from Semra was super friendly and pleasant. I'd love to come back.

Had a lovely evening there. Nice and attentive service. The lady at the reception looked particularly beautiful :) Beautiful view that invites you to stay there longer.

Absolutely recommended, rarely had such a good pizza.

Great restaurant with good food.

Food is Good. Drink is Good. Service is Good. But clearning table way is not so good.

Absolute TOP Empfehlung: Essen super, Location am Medienhafen super, Personal super freundlich und der Chef natürlich auch. Lieber Gruß aus dem Frankenland

The finest for a lovely evening with a harbor view

A visit to this upscale Italian restaurant was a real highlight. The pasta with truffle was simply outstanding – cooked perfectly al dente and refined with an intense but wonderfully balanced truffle flavor. The recommended Lugana went perfectly with this; a fresh, elegant wine that perfectly complemented the dish. Both food and wine were of excellent quality. A clear recommendation.

We have been enthusiastic guests of Bocconcino in Düsseldorf for many years. We were guests there again on Saturday after six months. It was a complete disaster in all areas. The food was so bad that we assume the chefs are no longer there. The same applies to the service. A visit is definitely not worth it! Too bad.

Wir sind seit vielen Jahren begeisterte Gäste vom Bocconcino in Düsseldorf gewesen. Wir waren am Samstag nach sechs Monaten mal wieder Gast dort. Es war die reinste Katastrophe, in allen Bereichen. Das Essen war so schlecht, dass wir annehmen, das Köche nicht mehr da sind. Das gleiche gilt auch für den Service. Ein Besuch lohnt sich ganz bestimmt nicht ! Schade.

I was at a private event here and wow! The food was so delicious, the service was very friendly and what a cool location! The view from the terrace is very cool. The tiramisu was incredibly delicious.

Ein Laden wo der Chef, sowie das Social Media Team und deren Content sehr negativ auffallen. Auf tiktok wird absolut unseriös geworben. So kommt wenig Zahlungskräftige Kundschaft, eher kids mit wenig Taschengeld... Was ist die Zielgruppe?

I ate there a week ago and ordered a margarita pizza and it was so shit. It didn't taste good at all, you think you ate cardboard and not pizza... They put so much cheese on it, 5kg or so. That pizza was just sickening and then 12€ for such rubbish...

Disappointing visit - not recommended! Our first visit to this restaurant was not particularly convincing. We waited over an hour for our food, while other guests who ordered after us were served faster. Unfortunately, the waiters weren't very attentive, so we had to make ourselves known several times. When the food finally came, one order was incorrect and had to be sent back. The portions were small, the price was high, and the taste was mediocre. The ambience seemed nice at first glance, but when the live musician started singing, it was so loud that it was almost impossible to hold a conversation - almost uncomfortable. Overall, we expected much more and would not come back again.

Very nice and well lit restaurant ps: the new Yakary sauce is awesome 🤩

We wanted to order the pizza with yakary sauce that was hyped on TikTok. We were told they didn't exist. Disappointed!

Pizza Yakary comes best. A luminous atmosphere is guaranteed.

The waitresses are now sitting on pool tables and starting to shine!

I think I didn't get tomato sauce but yakari sauce

We had dinner at Booconino today. Unfortunately, we were disappointed at the entrance - the bouncer was extremely unfriendly and initially didn't want to let us in. Even when leaving the restaurant, his behavior was anything but polite and here too he provocatively blocked the way, which was only stubbornly changed when asked politely. In the restaurant itself, the service was overall okay, although rather reserved and not particularly communicative. The food was definitely delicious, and we were also impressed by the ambience - stylish and inviting. If the reception had been more pleasant, the overall impression would have been much better.

I was there a few days ago and I really have to say that this restaurant is highly recommended. The food was excellent and the service was extremely friendly. I hope that Yakary also receives good service and can spread his truffle butter well. P.S.: Luckily it can light up!

Valentine's Day theme: The positive first: - Location looks appealing Negatives: - Way too loud - Way too crowded - People were constantly coming to the tables brought while others left are (no relaxation possible) - Tables too close together (0 privacy) - Waiter hardly available - Waiters were all chewing gum! - Cutlery was used several times Clear dropped - Map has been extremely shortened - Food was forgotten - Fillet was supposed to be medium rare but was well done - There was literally stress from the kitchen Guest room to feel and hear (Chef loudly complains) - The damn kitchen bell every 3rd slammed for seconds There was absolutely no romantic and calm atmosphere. The evening was geared towards mass processing. First and last time for us

Food good. Could have a more tortellini Be on it ;) Atmosphere, great DJ good. We had a great evening. Super tasty pornstar martini. THANKS

Great host. Was very satisfied. Recommended!!!

Top location!!! I can only recommend it

An exquisite experience at the highest level! Perfect service, first-class cuisine and an atmosphere full of elegance. An absolute must for everyone.

Very nice shop. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Food was great

Tolles Ambiente, leckes Essen ABER wir hatten uns einen Wein ausgesucht, da hieß es dieser sei nicht verfügbar, dann haben wir einen Chadonnay auf Empfehlung bestellt. Das dieser Wein 100€ kostet war im Nachhinein eine Frechheit, Wir haben 2 Stunden auf unsere Hauptspeise gewartet, das war schon zu lange.

The best restaurant in Düsseldorf. I always enjoy taking our clients with me to enjoy the food and atmosphere.

It was very nice. The food was super tasty. The service was very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back.

Apart from the great food, lovely Semra hosted us so well. Everyone at the table felt very comfortable. Thank you very much, dear Semra! Ps. I would personally welcome a raise for the lady ;)

Hello, greetings, paldo, food was delicious, I'm at peace now, esotericism, so far

The food is quite good, the ambience is ok, but what is really outstanding is the person who looked after us! Her name is Semra

Tolle kulinarische Erfahrung! Die Atmosphäre ist einladend und modern, perfekt für einen entspannten Abend. Die Bruschetta war Klasse und frisch zubereitet, das Lemon Chicken war qualitativ hervorragend. Die Weinauswahl ist großartig mit einem Lugano und einen Frankenheim Bier rundeten das Essen perfekt ab. Der Service ist aufmerksam und freundlich, und sehr zuvorkommend. Ein absoluter Geheimtipp für alle, die italienische Küche auf hohem Niveau genießen möchten! Liebe Grüße Lucas Bergmann

Poor food, mediocre service, high bill and to be checked (they are a bit smart)

A great location in the media harbor. The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and has a modern atmosphere. The food was excellent, the prices were on the higher side, but definitely recommended

Great location, very nice view, great staff, I can only recommend it

Wir sind eher zufällig in dieses Restaurant am Medienhafen gekommen und waren sehr angenehm überrascht. Die Speisen waren hervorragend (Rehrücken, bayrische Creme etc.), hier sind wirklich kreative Fachleute in der Küche. Die Atmosphäre ist modern, gemütlich und herzlich, denn auch das Servicepersonal ist ausgesprochen freundlich. Danke für den schönen Abend. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Pasta can only be rated as a flop. After trying it for the second time, just let it go. Wasn't even asked if something was wrong. Ambience and coffee were just nice.

The dishes were really perfectly prepared. Always happy again

Unfortunately, the food is no longer as good as it used to be. It came lukewarm, hardly any taste. For the money you can eat much better in Düsseldorf!

Leider war unser Silvesterabend im Bocconcino mit vier Personen eine absolute Katastrophe. Wir hatten uns auf eine besondere Feier gefreut, doch die Realität sah anders aus. Es wurde uns im Vorfeld erzählt, dass die Party letztes Jahr bis 6:00 Uhr morgens ging, doch als wir um 18:00 Uhr ankamen, war der Laden noch komplett leer. Das Essen, das laut Planung um 18:30 Uhr starten sollte, begann erst um 19:30 Uhr. Noch schlimmer war, dass die einzelnen Gänge extrem verzögert serviert wurden – oft mit einem Abstand von einer halben bis zu einer ganzen Stunde zwischen den Gängen. Dies zog den Abend unnötig in die Länge und sorgte für Frustration am Tisch. Hinzu kam, dass die Gerichte kalt bei uns ankamen – für ein Menü zu diesem Preis absolut inakzeptabel. Besonders enttäuschend war auch der Eindruck, dass Gäste mit einem „anderen Erscheinungsbild“ bevorzugt behandelt wurden, was bei uns einen bitteren Beigeschmack hinterließ. Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt war ein Gericht, auf das wir uns besonders gefreut hatten: Pasta Karamelle, gefüllt mit Trüffel, in Parmesan-Sauce und frischem Trüffel. Das klang vielversprechend und edel, doch dann kamen lediglich drei kleine Nudeln auf dem Teller an. Für ein Silvestermenü zu diesem Preis war das nicht nur ungenügend, sondern auch schlichtweg enttäuschend. Auf der Einladungskarte wurde zudem ein „großes Feuerwerk“ angekündigt, das sich jedoch lediglich als das reguläre Feuerwerk am Düsseldorfer Hafen entpuppte – eine klare Irreführung. Auch bei der Musik gab es große Diskrepanzen zwischen Ankündigung und Realität. Statt der angekündigten abwechslungsreichen Musik war davon kaum etwas zu hören. Von „keinem Schlager“ war die Rede, doch insgesamt blieb der Abend musikalisch sehr eintönig. Für den stolzen Preis von 189 € pro Person hätten wir eine weitaus bessere Organisation, hochwertiges Essen und ein durchdachtes Konzept erwartet. So bleibt nur ein enttäuschender Eindruck und die Gewissheit, dass wir dieses Restaurant sicher nicht erneut für einen besonderen Anlass besuchen werden. Sehr schade!

Very nice restaurant, great ambience and the food was really delicious. The service was friendly and very quick, I felt extremely well looked after. Can recommend it at any time.

Nice and big restaurant. We were there for lunch. Small lunch menu with recommendations, but also the normal menu. Delicious food, friendly service and a beautiful view of the harbor basin.

Nice restaurant, unfortunately very bad staff service kitchen, catastrophe you get insulted in Italian It's a shame we can't recommend this store ever again

Super We had veal cheeks They were fantastic

Das Restaurant hat sich gewandelt! Gleicht inzwischen eher einem arabischen Café! Nicht mehr empfehlenswert! Essen weiterhin gut! Service mittelmäßig

Even one star is too much for the store Once and never again!

Pizza had a lot of cheese, other food looked good

The Boccocino can be found in the Mediahafen with a great view. The ambience is stylish. At first we wanted to hold our Christmas party in the winter garden, but discovered that smoking was allowed there. The antipasti and bread were very tasty, but unfortunately the main courses were not. We sent one back, the pasta for others wasn't of high quality, and the tuna steak was, quite rightly, only lightly fried, but not particularly tasty. The included potatoes were partly mushy and the vegetables tasted below average. We decided to skip dessert instead. The request to turn down the very loud background music was flatly refused on the grounds that it was Friday... There were a lot of Christmas parties and if you have to shout at the person sitting next to you so that he/she can still understand you, it's not a comfortable place to be together. We then got up relatively early and left. It's a shame, the first impression was really good, but then it started to crumble. To be fair, the restaurant took the returned dish off the bill.

Very nice and delicious place. The staff is friendly and chic atmosphere.

Super delicious truffle pasta and incredibly tasty appetizers!!

Service is a bit too intrusive. You feel compelled to tip. Otherwise, always happy!

The food was tasty, even if the portions are small for these prices. Considering the restaurant's price range, I would have preferred friendlier and more accommodating service.

Live music was excellent. Food was amazing

Very great restaurant with excellent location and great interior!

Very good upper middle class restaurant...The food is not cheap, but good food costs money...and the food was very good...The ambience was very nice and we had a successful evening all around...Thanks to that whole team

Few visitors in the afternoon, the music got louder and louder, the food was delicious but there was little and no flexibility with the side dishes. The cellar and the location were good, just entertaining with the background music wasn't that nice. Quite cool at the window, a door nearby was opened occasionally.

Schönes Ambiente, sehr freundliches Personal, Vorspeise und Hauptgang sehr fad. Auf den Nachtisch haben wir verzichtet. Sehr Schade, da das Lokal und die Lage wirklich ansprechend ist.

Unfortunately very disappointing. The food or pizza was extremely limp, the dough and toppings melted together and became one. Starters are rather carelessly prepared and not particularly intense in taste. Unfortunately, the staff is not particularly communicative and not open to making a few recommendations. The only thing that's nice is the location.

14.9.24 Samstag Abend gegen 18.00 Uhr Sehr nett begrüßt und einen schöner Platz am Fenster bekommen ohne Reservierung Getränke wurden zügig aufgenommen sowie die Speisen. Wir hatten uns für 2 Pizzen entschieden. beide Pizzen waren sehr schlecht. Service war gut werden aber nicht wiederkommen und auch nicht weiter empfehlen

Nothing objectionable. Lots of space in the restaurant.

A nice restaurant. With a great view of a harbor basin. The service is quick, courteous and friendly. We just ordered a quick pasta dish before going to the cinema. Everything was great and very tasty.

Everything here is extremely overpriced and there is a listless, arrogant, condescending, unfriendly waiter who has unfortunately been working here for ages. My not particularly tasty pizza for €22.90, the mega-tiny, tasteless portion of pasta with a few truffles in a Parmesan nest for €27.90, tiny tiramisu for €12.90, a 0.75L bottle of water for €9.90, a 0 .2 cokes for €4.60. Nice interior, but if you spend over 100€ as a couple and still go out hungry, and you also had such poor service that you had to call in because he completely ignored us, a visit here no longer makes friends.

Nice environment and a good atmosphere

My visit to this restaurant was an absolute highlight. As soon as I entered I immediately felt at home because the atmosphere is simply inviting. The stylish furnishings and pleasant lighting create a relaxed atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome. The service was extremely nice and polite. The service was not only attentive, but also courteous and friendly, which made the entire stay even more pleasant. The dishes were a real culinary delight. Every bite was a delight, and the presentation of the food was as impressive as the taste. It is clearly noticeable that the cooking here takes place with great attention to detail. I can highly recommend this restaurant. If you are looking for a place where excellent food and a feel-good atmosphere go hand in hand, you will definitely find it here. I will definitely come back!

The first impression was okay, extra requests were taken into account but not welcomed. When the guest noticed a mistake during the main course (allergy to a food on the plate), the waiter just smiled and left the food. No idea or solution to the problem? No, that's just the way it is. And that with a consumption of 100 euros for 2 people. I expected more. Too bad 😢

Unfortunately, we did not have good experiences with the service on site. Unlike during the week, it seems that smoking cigars after eating is not permitted on weekends. Unfortunately, the on-site staff were very inflexible, even though there were numerous free tables that could have been used. I don't understand why smoking is handled differently on a less busy Saturday (a maximum of a quarter of the tables were occupied) than on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I also don't understand why the staff didn't try to find a satisfactory solution for everyone involved. The food itself was very good, but due to the circumstances mentioned we will switch to the Rocca or the Meerbar in the future - better service and an even better view.

Good food, nice staff, nice ambience in a big city.
