"My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Bosko's on our 20th Anniversary. It lived up to the positive reviews I read, but also had a couple of small issues like a few others talked about. We began with Lemon Baked Artichoke with Grilled Lemon Aioli. $16 This was one of the reasons I chose Bosko's for our special lunch. It looked and sounded so amazing... and it truly was! If you even somewhat like artichokes, get these! We also ordered the garlic bread with our meals not realizing that we were in fact ordering the appetizer and evidently the large one $8 . It was extremely good and large enough to take over half home. It just would have been good to know that no bread was included otherwise and what was happening when she asked if we wanted garlic bread or sourdough bread both are appetizers and at an additional cost . In fact, there were no sides like soup or salad with our meals, either, so it was a good thing we ordered our appetizers and were in the mood to splurge. Consider the prices that I have included not counting our drinks, tip, etc and you will see it is actually quite pricey for what you actually get. When our plates of pasta came out, they actually looked a bit skimpy, but as we ate, it became clear that we were going to get full anyway with the help of our appetizers . Hubby enjoyed the Godfather with Italian sausage, roasted eggplant, garlic, roasted onions and red bell peppers in a spicy herb tomato sauce on fresh spaghetti. $23 I was craving Spaghetti and Meatballs that day. $22 I know, simple, but when it's done right, it can be amazing. Fortunately for me...theirs was amazing. This is a dish that I can really judge an Italian restaurant with. If they can't make a great Spaghetti and Meatballs, something is wrong. You may be surprised at how many can't. I just wish the price was more appropriate with not including anything at all other than the pasta, marinara, and meatballs.That or at least make it larger, so you can take some home in order to justify the price a bit better, Anyway, Bosko's definitely passed the Spaghetti and Meatball test regarding flavor. Their meatballs were seasoned and cooked really well. Lots of wonderful flavor without anything overpowering. Just like an Italian grandma might make. That goes for their Marinara, too. Perfect. Then add the fresh pasta and Wow!"
