BOSA Coastal Italian - Haverhill, Massachusetts

Went to Bosa for dinner with my girlfriend overall the experience I had was amazing, the server was amazing, the food was what I was expecting from a classic Italian American restaurant, but what caught my attention was the pizza I ordered, but I do have something that bothered me, the cocktails, it unfortunately was too boozy, I ordered one with blackberry mint and tequila, unfortunately I could barely taste it, but I don’t believe in taking one star of this review, cus of that, the other cocktail my girlfriend had was amazing, overall the experience was very good. And yes it still gets a 5/5. Thank you! Also I’m from the same industry, so I know the struggles that bars and restaurants go through!

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and finally had the chance after an afternoon antiquing at the Canal Street Antique Market in Lawrence. Two of my favorite things antiquing and fine dining… and Bossa did not disappoint.

My friends and I dined at the bar, met some great locals, and indulged in their delicious shareables!

Possibly my favorite shareable was their take on fried calamari. The Frito Misto was spot on, delicious lightly battered, and a perfect mix of calamari, banana peppers, and I especially loved the battered and perfectly fried zucchini! I could have eaten that plate myself!

Then we indulged in their delicate and delicious Shrimp & Butternut Agnolotti. Again, one of my favorites, the sage brown butter, figs, parmesan, and perfect pockets of deliciousness, made me wanting more…. Yum!

But wait, their Arancini, were also another favorite. The sauce they serve it with is amazing, and I personally wiped it clean with their fresh bread… which also was a hit, with not your average dipping olive oil. Loved that they offered two dips to try… a tomato kinda yummy sauce and a simply smooth hummus. Yes please!!

We did try a salad too (needed some veggies). I love beets, and the salad was crisp and fresh, and the soft cheese was a perfect addition.

I enjoyed watching the servers pass by with delicious plates of food, and want to go back to try their pizza, entrees, and brunch one weekend.

We ended the night with a birthday dessert for my friend, and they made her plate extra special! I hope her wish was to go back again soon!

Had a great 40th Birthday here! Great atmosphere, awesome service, EVERY dish/drink that was placed down on our table was exceptional.

In an area where we have more than our fair share of Americanized Italian cuisine….This is a very refreshing/authentic taste of Italy!

I can’t even begin to describe what a great meal I enjoyed. Ben our server was beyond pleasant and accommodating. Alex Nirgianakis the general manager made us feel like we were vips. The food was spot on. My lamb special was decadent and rich and the white bolognese lives up to the expectations of a signature dish. Gem of a restaurant.

Our waiter Ben was amazing, extremely helpful, educated in the food and an over all delight.
The food was phenomenal, the bread and red sauce took me back to my grandmother's kitchen, their are no words to describe the lamb special it was that good, the only exception where the muscles, they were gritty, which was surprising.
Some of the best desserts I've experienced.

Brunch was a hit! For drinks we chose the Bloody Mary and sunrise mimosa which has a lovely orange peel flower inside. The Bloody Mary was one of the best I’ve ever had. We started with mussels with frites. The broth was delicious and fries were crispy. The cod with crab and potatoes was also excellent. The crab was tasty and fish perfectly cooked with a tasty sauce. We had the banana bread French toast as a desert which was a perfect way to end the meal. Can’t wait to go back for dinner!

Excellent food. I love how they have a main waitress/waiter and then plenty of other staff waiting on you to bring you whatever you need. However the tables are a little too in the mainstream if you want a relaxing night with your significant other and want to have kind of a private night.
