The best pizza west of New York - Ralph Barbieri, KNBR


Business Summary  what's this?
For one star dining in Sunol, try Bosco's Bones And Brew. They're still working to earn their stars. This restaurant is inexpensive.
4.0 of 5 stars.
Bosco's has dive bar written all over it, and I LOVE IT!!! My boyfriend and I came here on a spotaneous outing to check out the beer pouring stuffed dog (aka Mayor Bosco). No joke! You'll have to...

You should come here for the atmosphere alone. Have you ever had beer out of a taxidermied dog? Now's your chance. The food was fair... about what you'd expect to get in a very small town pub, and...

Tough place to review but it would get 5 stars as a local bar, 5 stars as a biker bar and 3 stars for 'fine dining'. I just love Sunol and since there is only one bar in town, this Swiss Army Knife of...

The city of Sunol is like a mini-wild wild west and you must visit Bosco's. Seafood is awesome. The stuff dog (also the former Mayor of Sunol) is here too.

There are pluses, & minuses. To begin with a plus: the oysters are fresh (but smell them anyway), tasty & reasonably priced. The meat (when they have it) is cooked as ordered. In other words: medium...
