Bocconcino | Restaurant Düsseldorf Medienhafen in Düsseldorf

The finest for a beautiful 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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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

Pizza Yakary comes best. A luminous atmosphere is guaranteed.

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 think I didn't get tomato sauce but yakari sauce

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

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

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

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!

The dishes were really perfectly prepared. Always happy again

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.

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.

Loved this place!! The food was fresh and delicious! I love the ambiance, especially in the terrace area, where you can enjoy the warmth of the sun! Highly recommended.

I was out with my girlfriend and then had dinner at Bocconcino. We were welcomed very friendly by the staff. We were immediately assigned a table that offered us a beautiful view of the terrace. We ordered two cocktails that tasted excellent. It was an Ipanema and the Mai Tai. For dinner we ordered the veal chop and the Black Angus beef fillet. There were potatoes as a side dish. Both dishes were excellently prepared and were thoroughly consumed. We were completely satisfied with the ambience and service plus the quality of the food and drinks prepared. I can really recommend Bocconcino to everyone. We'll definitely be back. Kudos to the team, thank you.

Great atmosphere, but there is a lot of room for improvement in the service and the food. Our waiter was absolutely not in the mood and didn't seem to want to make any sales - maybe he was just having a bad day. Unfortunately the food wasn't good - even the simple things were tasteless. The schnitzel, for which a hefty price was charged, was partially burnt on the bottom. The sweet potato fries were sold out and instead they served small halved potatoes, some of which were very hard, just like the vegetables on the plate. The restaurant was very empty, so the chef actually had enough time to serve the food properly.

Unfortunately, the visit to the restaurant was very disappointing, mainly because of the unfriendly staff. We felt condescended to and completely unwelcome. The staff was extremely inattentive throughout the meal and seemed annoyed by our questions or requests. The waiters consistently seemed uninterested and unfriendly, which made the entire atmosphere very unpleasant. Despite the nice ambience and average food, the entire visit was characterized by poor quality of service, which made the experience very disappointing. There was a lack of any form of hospitality. I cannot recommend this restaurant due to the unprofessional and unfriendly staff.

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!

My experiences so far have been very good. Every now and then I eat here on business because of the location. Nice location, salads are very tasty and filling. Pizza is really extremely tasty and not small either. Would go again.

I've been to Bocconcino three times in the last year and a half and unfortunately I have to say that I can only recommend the location and the view. Unfortunately, the service and the quality of the food do not meet my expectations at all.

Vegan pizza is very tasty and Caesar salad is also very delicious

Bad and expensive! Unfortunately, it's rare to eat something so bad for such steep prices. It's definitely not just because of the location! If, with a very moderate number of visitors, even 3 cokes come more than 20 minutes and only after repeated requests, then you cannot speak of an exclusive restaurant. As I said, very average food apart from the prices, which is in line with many of the recessions here.

Service was super bad, we waited 20 minutes for a Coke. For 5 people we paid €500 for the starter. Go somewhere else.

Ambience great, but service very bad!!!

Hello, the restaurant is really great and we were very happy with everything, so if you ever come to the Medienhafen you should definitely eat there

The food not tasty , there's no fresh juice , not calm , alittle bit expensive............................, not recommended

I am extremely disappointed in this store and its employees. The price-performance ratio is an absolute disaster. The prices are way too high for what you get. The food wasn't particularly good. However, the manager's treatment was particularly disappointing. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of addressing guests' concerns, he was dismissive and had a very bad attitude. Such behavior is completely unacceptable in the catering industry. The other employees also seemed disinterested and unmotivated. The service left a lot to be desired and I had the feeling that guests were perceived as more of a nuisance. Overall, my visit was a very negative experience. I will definitely never visit this store again and cannot recommend it to anyone. It was the first and last time I was here. Very disappointing!

Used to be a good shop! The food was still ok, unfortunately the service was overwhelmed, with a total of around 20-25 guests and around four waiters, we waited a long time and the waiters simply forgot the order. The food was good !

Tagliatella with truffle was perfect.

Worst restaurant experience in a long time. Inattentive service. A veal schnitzel that was full of fat and burnt at the same time with 8-10 truffle fries in response to a complaint. Due to the quality of the food, I was offered a cheese plate, which I even had to pay for afterwards. I would advise every guest not to go to this restaurant

Update 06/18/24: After our visit today, I have to revise my review downwards on behalf of the entire group. After we arrived we were told that the chef had just arrived and if we didn't want to wait very long we should have salads or pizzas or at least all the same dish. 4 people chose a sliced ​​beef, 2 chose a Bolognese. The Bolognese was brought a good 10 minutes before the sliced ​​meat and when the sliced ​​meat arrived, we were surprised that beef shouldn't have a whitish color when fried. After trying it for the first time, we agreed that the meat was not beef but pork fillet. Although it tasted good, the portion size was rather small and it wasn't the dish advertised. After dinner we wanted to order espressos and desserts. To do this we had to go to the waiter and ask him to come to the table. Afterwards we had to wait a good 20 minutes for 3 desserts and 5 coffees. I've been here 3 times for lunch so far. The restaurant is large and very nicely designed. The kitchen is open so you can watch the preparation. The staff is friendly and attentive. The lunch menu is not large but you will find what you are looking for. The food is delicious and comes to the table quickly. The pizza is particularly worth mentioning. There is a stone oven in the restaurant for this purpose. I take one star for the tagliatelle with salmon. This no longer tasted very fresh like fish oil. Unfortunately it was also over fried and therefore dry.

Ubicado en una privilegiada ubicación a orillas del río Rin, el Restaurante Bocconccino en Düsseldorf ofrece a sus comensales una vista impresionante del río y sus alrededores. Este restaurante se destaca por su amplitud y por contar con una hermosa terraza que permite disfrutar de una experiencia gastronómica al aire libre, especialmente agradable durante los meses más cálidos. Especializado en cocina italiana, Bocón Chino presenta un menú variado que abarca desde clásicas pizzas y pastas hasta sofisticados platos de mariscos y carnes. La presentación de los platos es sin duda uno de los puntos fuertes del restaurante. Cada plato es cuidadosamente preparado y emplatado con esmero, haciendo que la comida parezca una obra de arte. Los colores vibrantes y la disposición estética de los ingredientes capturan la atención y prometen una experiencia culinaria excepcional. El ambiente del restaurante es ideal para grupos grandes. La terraza ofrece una oportunidad maravillosa para disfrutar de la vista y del aire fresco, añadiendo un toque especial a cualquier ocasión. Sin embargo, a pesar de su ubicación espectacular y la impresionante presentación de sus platos, la calidad de la comida deja mucho que desear. .

Food: Well... I've eaten worlds better for significantly less money! In terms of taste and presentation, 2 out of 10 points. Service: Not available!!! Waiters can't remember anything, they waited over 20 minutes for the bill. Clearly go somewhere else for the money

Great food with a beautiful view of the harbor - priced to match the ambience. Definitely worth a visit!

I don't understand how with a group of 5 who are only there for drinks, everyone but one person can be served their drink. After asking three times it still didn't come (a water), embarrassing. Service was very unfriendly.

Nice atmosphere, but the draft beer was poured in front of the guest at a late hour instead of being tapped fresh.

Has the advantage of location over the media harbour. I would Say this restaurant does what says on the label. No surprises, no disappointments, nothing fantastic and nothing terrific, just comfortable. Won't let you down, but you won't remember it next year.

Disappointing again. We had reserved a table for 7 people by phone, especially in the outdoor area. This has been confirmed. The next day there was neither a reservation nor a table outside. Although the restaurant was not very busy, a rude waitress knocked two tables together inside and kindly let us sit there. There was no “sorry” for the muddy reservation. Then one of us had to wait forever for our food because it was cooked incorrectly. No polite gesture whatsoever for this either. The food was “satisfactory” but unfortunately nothing more. In short: every grill restaurant has better service than here. Unfortunately, it gets worse every year. Only interesting for us because of the location in the harbor.

Attentive and friendly staff, exquisite food and drinks at affordable prices. High risk of recurrence.

The restaurant does not meet expectations. The prices are exorbitant for the service. At first we ordered some water for everyone. Of course we wanted to drink something else, but we weren't asked and we had to actively ask to order the food. Dessert wasn't offered at all. The waiter always spilled some wine when pouring it. The food was good but very small portions. I do not come anymore.

I had the truffle pasta and the mango tiramisu. They’re both ok. Would I go back to eat there again? No.

You have a nice view of the end of the harbor.

Terrible Service. Food was also not special and wasn't worth the money that we spent.

"The Bocconcino restaurant disappointed across the board. From the service to the food, the experience was disappointing. The service was unfriendly and inattentive, and the food left a lot to be desired. The waiters seemed uninterested and the atmosphere was uninviting. Overall, it was a Disappointing experience that I cannot recommend." Never again!!! So people think carefully about where you spend your money.

We were taken to a random table by the lady at reception. She didn't respond to our wishes. Waiters didn't come either. We had to find a waiter ourselves. He didn't feel like working. He was generally very funny. We wanted to sit outside but he didn't understand this change of place at all. He asked us what was wrong with sitting inside. We answered him that as smokers you just want to sit outside, but even if we weren't smokers you should be allowed to sit on the terrace. The location itself was beautiful. But the service has to be good

Das Essen grauenhaft und wir mussten es leider zurückgehen lassen. Der Umgang mit einem Kunden ist schrecklich. Ich rate allen Kunden davon!!!

We were seated at a table and they forgot to bring us the menu, so we had to ask for it. Then we ordered still water and received sparkling water. The food was also a complete disappointment for this price. The schnitzel ear is so thin that it could pass for a sandwich. The side dish was very little, so you didn't feel full. The truffle pasta was tasteless (felt unseasoned.) The music in the ambience is very loud, which made conversations a bit difficult. What was a real shame was that one of the waiters was very unfriendly.

Ambiance is great. Service not that good. I had to ask for the menu and twice for the bill. The food was poorly seasoned. I imagined the veal schnitzel to be different (not 2mm thin)

As soon as we entered the toilet area, we noticed that the soap dispensers were empty and the paper for drying hands had been replaced with toilet paper. The burrata, which costs over €20, was served with precisely counted tomatoes that seemed fresh but incongruous. My truffle pasta tasted like everything but truffles. The coffee was acceptable, but I would have liked a small biscuit as a nice gesture. The service was consistently weak and unmotivated. In summary: not everything that glitters is gold. Overall, my visit to you was simply disappointing. Best regards, Yigit

the food was horrible we had to wait close to and hour and 30 minutes for our drinks to come. The overall quality of the meat was disappointing with a steak that was rare and cold. Overall we waited 3 hours for all our food and found it inedible and horrible. Do not recommend. With the price we expected for the food to be a top quality experience but unfortunately it was worse than what anyone in our group expected.

waited 2 hrs for food, and they could not cook the steak right. even forgot the pizza we ordered. 10 ppl table, and not a single plates was cook correcrtly

Great food and very nice service. I recommend it
