Bosko's Trattoria - CALISTOGA

We stopped here on our recent visit to Napa Valley for Lunch. Food was good. But service was not. Children did not seem to be welcome here. We were party of 8+ 1 toddler. Our server seemed rude and tired. No smiles at all. While placing our orders we were asking questions and her replies sounded like 'seriously you don 't even know this ' or 'don 't you understand in one time '. When we asked her to repeat the available dressings, it seemed to me she made a face and then with super great efforts repeated it so fast that i was again not able to listen. I felt so nervous, i just said yes this one...lol All in all the server ruined our mood and did not try to make us comfortable at all.

This makes us sad! We are so sorry to hear that this restaurant is closed and will be rebranding. We have been regulars here for years. We wish John the best in whatever he does next. I'm sorry for those whose reviewers were less than stellar. We have always received good service and good food. We wish the employees well as well!

I ordered the Godfather, outrageously delicious. service was excellent, quickly served

Pathetic service. The server had so much attitude for no reason and also apparently she was the manager. I wonder what the whole place would be when manager is like this. They charged 18% gratuity by duping us by adding it to the bill directly when we were a party of 4. Never coming back to this place.

It sucks to hear Bosko 's is closing. I and my family loved coming here for special occasions. So when I heard they were closing indefinitely, I had to make a trip to Calistoga and have my last Vittorio pasta. We showed up and were greeted by a young kid who told us he could seat us in a booth. When he left to clean it an elderly man named Peter asked if he could help us. My wife let him know that there was 4 of us and he proceeded to ask for her name and phone number. We were a bit confused since the kid told us he could sit us. He suggested we go for a walk because it was going to be 20 to 30-minute wait?? We decided to just move to the side and wait since we were expecting to get sat soon. The elderly man/host? took the next people after us, a white couple and he sat them at the booth that was supposed to be for us. I and my wife were confused and went over to talk to him. He again asked us if he could help us and my wife proceeded to let him know that he already took our name literally 5 minutes ago. We asked him why he didn 't sit us since we were there before the couple. He didn 't know what to say, he knew he messed up big time. We could tell by his stuttering and the realization he got caught skipping us. So my wife let him have it and asked him what 's the point of taking our name down and phone down if he 's not going to honor the first come first serve. He admitted to making a mistake and gave us a lot of attitude. Didn 't let my wife get her words out and was just brushing us off. He didn 't want to hear us or cared. We were furious he skipped us for a white couple. We thought how conveniently he sat the white couple before us even though we where there first. We notice he didn 't even ask for their name or phone. Now I see why he suggested we go for a walk while a table became available. We asked to talk to the manager. As the manager came over to talk to us he interrupted her and told her he made a mistake and try to brush off the situation. He didn 't want us to talk to her and tell her what happen. The manager apologized since he admitted to making a mistake to her and us. At this point, my wife didn 't ' want to give this business our money for the way we were treated but I really wanted my pasta. The manager offered to give free garlic break, cool I guess. We were sat really soon and Peter walked us over to another booth. There he tossed the menu 's all pissed and rudely. Sadly our last visit to Bosko 's wasn 't pleasant or welcoming. The food was good and I was satisfied with my pasta. But I have never been discriminated in Calistoga and I grew up in this small town. Bosko 's has always been excellent with their food and has had awesome service. At this point, I don 't even know if giving a review to Bosko 's is necessary since its closing, but I wanted to share our experience of racism with the host Peter.
