Everything from start to finish was amazing! Flavorful delicious fresh food. There wasn’t one thing we ordered and didn’t like. It was vegetarian friendly and the service was great. We got seated at the bar and enjoyed the ambiance even more.

I feel the farther West you go, the harder it is to find quality and great tasting Italian food. This place hits that mark and would be a strong competitor in Chicago, NYC, etc. The restaurant has a nice aesthetic and vibe to it - neither overly pretentious or lacking character, a great balance for all walks of life. Any Italian food lover would be overly enthused to enjoy a pasta dish here, their pasta is all made in house. The service is top notch, providing recommendations and carrying an attentiveness that doesn't keep you waiting when needed. Check this spot out!

5 stars BOSA Food & Drink feels like an oasis of taste and elegance in a city of wealth. The staff are dressed with sophistication, adding a refined charm to the atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and effortless. We started on the patio but asked to move to the bar — they made it happen quickly and gracefully, making us feel truly welcomed. If you’re looking for a place with heart, exceptional cuisine, and a sense of hospitality that stands out, this is it. In a city of riches, BOSA offers a rare kind of warmth.

My only complaint was the lack of parking. The staff is highly trained, extremely efficient, and very pleasant. The food was artistically displayed and tasty. The restaurant is small but tastefully decorated. My wife and I both had pasta dishes with focaccia as a starter. I believe the noodles were made fresh on site (they tasted very fresh).

My wife made reservations for 5:15 for our 12 year anniversary we were promptly seated when we arrived. They had a little anniversary card on our table, which was a little small. our waitress was very nice. She informed us of all the specials which sounded good, but my wife decided on the pasta I decided on the flat iron steak. Our appetizer was meatballs and bread, which was very good. By the way best margarita ever tasted. I asked my wife how was her pasta? She said it was very good. My steak was cooked medium which was perfect. for dessert, we had the date cake with vanilla gelato excellent more than likely we will return for a second visit.

We were able to get a table while on a trip from the east coast. The food was incredible! One of my favorite and most surprising dishes was the calamari which surprised us when our local friend ordered it because it was not fried and we assumed it would be when we heard it ordered. The dish was incredible, genuinely opened my eyes to a better way to enjoy the fish. Being from the Gloucester/Salem Ma area I was skeptical of all the fish we ordered with our pescatarians in the party but every dish just got better and better! Finally finished with some red meat for myself and wow, the whole experience was fantastic and the food/drink was top notch. We held off on the massive bone in steak (sadly) but for a table of four and an order chit longer than my arm, we were well fed and significantly lighter in the wallets. A vacation/special occasion restaurant experience that I would not change. The drinks were balanced and carried a comfortable reminder of their containing alcohol too. I’d recommend this restaurant and their team to anyone. Wonderful work and our local friends who brought us there knew exactly how to order. Thank you Marina!

Great place for a special dinner. The higher price of the food is reflected in the helpful, knowledgeable waiters, excellent service, and quality of the food- which was all excellent. We got the snails, warm olives, and focaccia for appetizers, the pork confit, and a special duck ragu pasta. For an digestif our waiter helped us pick out a flight of amero liquors and we had fun trying them
