For dinner, we decided to check out a place in Novato called Boca Pizzeria. It's a Napolitano pizza place, wood fired grill, ya know - my fave! The place was really nice. They had plenty of outside seating as well as inside. We ordered some roasted brussels sprouts, which were excellent. Then we got a salad with feta, cured olives, cucumber, and heirloom tomatoes with homemade croutons and lemon vinaigrette. It was huge, fresh, and yummy! We then had the Margherita pizza. It was amazing! It had a very light sauce, nice pools of mozzarella cheese and fresh basil just as the traditional ingredients prescribe. The crust was awesome. Chewy and delicious! We had a little dessert. A Belgian chocolate mousse cake! Oh boy, it was so rich and delicious! I also had a sparkling lemonade and mint drink with dinner. It was very delish and refreshing.
We saw some things go by as we ate. One was the chicken picatta, one of Ms. Music's favorite dishes. So we decided to eat there again the next night. This time we tried the roasted beet salad. It was ginormous and had thick slices of roasted golden and red beets. It also had lots of roasted hazelnuts, sheep milk feta, and a creamy dressing. We loved it. We got a Margherita pizza again (sorta wanted to try the Italian sausage with funghi), but we went with sinister elegance again (ed: now there's a metaphor I haven't seen!). Then we had the chicken picatta which was served with homemade mashed potatoes with roasted green beans, carrots, and broccolini. The chicken was so light and moist, and the sauce was delicious. It was also a very large portion. Going twice in a row was nice to explore more of the menu and see if the food was consistent. Check and check. The staff was super friendly and excellent service. We are big fans! Other items I was DYING to try were the leg of lamb sandwich and Nona's meatballs!
