Bosco Pizzeria in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Avoid at all costs. No GF options and terrible service! Far better pizza available in Bristol. Food was less than average and service was not good at all.

Pizza with finesse Brilliant pizza cooked freshly and baked to perfection Great value just book in advance

We booked Bosco due to the high rating and so glad we did! Warm and friendly service from the moment we walked in to the moment we left For starters we ordered their arancini, bruschetta and meatballs. All were very flavour some!! We then shared a pizza and so glad that we did. They're huge! And absolutely delicious! Gorgeous pizza sauce! I'd highly recommend.

Funghi pizza is amazing as are the negronis. Salads are great too. Ambience is lovely. Love this place.

I don’t normally leave reviews as most issues are small and easily fixed, however these ones are bigger. Having heard a lot about Bosco and eager to support a new local business my friends and I decided to try it out. None of us want to go back. The staff weren’t that friendly and didn’t seem to be trained properly with regards to the menu. One of our party is Gluten Free and was told that she couldn’t have any of the pasta or pizzas as there were no GF options, which is absolutely shocking. However, a few days after our visit she discovered there were a couple of options, not a great selection, but a few things she could have had other than a salad if the waiter had been trained…so she got her meal refunded. The waiter should’ve known what was GF and if he didn’t then he should’ve asked someone else or tried to have put something else together for her. Furthermore, a couple of us were vegetarian and vegan. They do not have a vegan menu! Which again for 2021 is completely shocking and unacceptable. I don’t think I’ve been to a restaurant without a vegan menu for years and years, I had no trouble with vegan food in Italy and it has never been a problem with the heaps of other Italian restaurants in Bath which offer a separate menu with vegan cheese, pesto and desserts. Even fast food meat based chains likes Maccies offer vegan alternatives. Succeeding in Bath with high rents and vast competition is difficult, especially when isolating a lot of people. There seemed to be one pasta dish that was meat free and I was told they could simply serve it without cheese to make it vegan. It was a small portion and pretty dry, I’ve bought better red sauce from a supermarket but for this I was charged £10. My other option was a cheerless pizza….not even a suitable salad. Again in other Italians the pomodoro pasta option is cheaper and tastier than this. It must also be noted that the cheese which the pasta and pizzas come with is not vegetarian as the vegetarian in our party discovered written in the small print at the bottom of the menu, which she almost missed. She had to request the vegetarian option…this should be made more clear as most people assume the cheese is vegetarian and could easily end I know eating the other. The other members in our party without dietary preferences or allergies were able to order fine, but didn’t think it was anything special and were also disappointed with the service received. Such a shame, we all love eating out and do it rather a lot.

Visited bosco pizzeria in bath however I cannot find their trip advisor page! The restaurant is decorated elegantly, the food was superb and great value for money! The staff were attentive and helpful. We were shocked when they informed us they had only been opened a week as the service and food was fantastic. We will be returning!

Excellent pizzas. I’m not really a pizza fan as I don’t like melted cheese but went with family and had the fresco pizza with fresh non melted mozzarella and prosciutto. It was delicious. The most beautiful base! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the restaurant has a good atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend.

One of my favourite restaurants in Bristol. The pizza is always absolutely amazing - quality ingredients and good choices. The starters are great too, especially the arancini. Staff are happy to help without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is warm. Pricing is very fair considering the fantastic quality of ingredients. Would happily have dinner here every day!

Authentic Italian with relaxed vibe. Pizza is light and generously covered with toppings. Burrata with anchovies was excellent coupled with salad. Tiramisu dessert was so light and divine. Finished with limoncello to close a great evening

We regularly order takeaway pizzas from here and the food is always of a consistent high standard. We ate in tonight and were equally impressed by the service generally and the attention the staff gave our two year old. We were able to order his food to come out at different times to ours and he was given colouring in to do. He really enjoyed being able to see the pizzas being made and cooked too. A fun family evening out.

My family and I came to visit my brother who is studying at University in Bristol and he took us to his favourite pizza spot in town! We were not disappointed at all the food was immaculate and the pizza was arguably better than the pizza we had when we went to Naples as a family two years ago. Our waitress Bella was charming and very good at food and drink recommendations which made the experience all the more enjoyable. The arancini and Bosco carne pizza are winners.

We arrived at the restaurant at 21:00, although the restaurant is closing at 22:00, we decided to try and see if we could get a table without reservations anyways. Of course is always a bit risky in these kind of situations but we tried anyway, so we were "welcomed" by this young Italian guy, rude and unprofessional, we asked If at least we could wait and the answer was "well, I don't know, you could wait one hour, 2 hours, I'm not gonna tell you to wait". The inside seemed quite busy(there was a small seat available outside) although we were asking for only 2 pizzas which I don't really think is such a big deal. So we left but decided to come back and ask if it was possible to get at least 2 take away pizzas (which by the way,it takes literally less than 5 secs to make a pizza).So we were welcomed by a waitress this time; the guy from before was busy but saw us, but instead of coming and talk to us and try to find a solution for us, he sent the waitress to tell us that we couldn't get the take away pizzas because it was busy; this all happened after the waitress happily told us we could get the take away and gave us the menu to choose from. We left very disappointed, even more after we realized there was another restaurant with the same name, probably the same owner, we called it and at first they didn't answer, after that they just put down the phone call without even give us a chance to talk. Very poor customer service, unkind and disrespectful staff. I just want to add that we are Italians as the staff and the owners, and we felt very bad about how we were treated. We won't come back and wouldn't recommend.

After our initial booking elsewhere fell through, we tried Bosco, but assumed they were probably full. However they quickly found space for us on the bar/window area outside. Our waitress was phenomenally good, with good recommendations for food/drink, and attentive service. The arancini and the seafood starters were so memorable, and I can't wait to come back.

Smashed it. Service was fantastic and the two pizzialos are pure fire. Pizza hits every note, amazing crist. Crispy like pastry as you bite in then strong and chewy as it resists in your mouth. The ingredients are top and the flavour delivers like no other as a result. Quality all over. Always ordered from here but tonight sat in for the first time and to have it fresh was a religious experience. Amazing work team. Keep doing your thing 💪

Lovely meal today, staff attentive and very pleasant. Food great, noticed even the salami for each pizza was sliced individually not just from a packet! Arancini really good. Authentic Italian restaurant!

We have ordered take away pizzas. Fresco a d Carne. I swear...i wanted to cry. Sooo good! Will visit for a meal soon hopefully! Well done Bosco!

I've visited Bosco fairly regularly for the past 3 years and it has never ever let me down. Consistently excellent food, service and atmosphere - always such a fantastic dining experience. The lunch offer they do is insanely good value for money. If you're looking...

I visited with my girlfriend because we had heard great things about this place and I was not disappointed! The restaurant itself is lovely, a little small but the tables were spaced enough. Face masks were being worn by all the staff and they had...

I seriously love my pizza, it’s pretty much my life. That and a nice glass of red wine, and you will quickly become my best friend. Boy oh boy did Mum and Dad treat me in this place... I got to try both of their...

Good place to collect a takeaway pizza from as it is well organised and you don’t have to go inside. Pizza itself is on the doughy side but very tasty with generous toppings.

Still can’t beat the pizza here having lived in Bristol a few years ago, and the quality was just the same. My only feedback is that we had a takeaway to go sit on the downs to enjoy and it wasn’t even cut, which makes...

Don't get me wrong, I love this place up until recently that is. Nothing wrong with the quality here, nothing wrong with the great service and I don't believe the atmosphere has changed from being friendly, relaxed and pretty cool really. BUT, what's happened to...

Sunday 8 March went as a party of eleven overall service and food quality good. However the pasta portions were small and not very tasty. We had spaghetti with clams which were shrivelled. Suggest give this choice a miss.

Bosco's is a great, relaxed restaurant that serves lovely pastas and pizzas. They don't tend to have the standard stuff all Italian restaurants have, but theirs is a with a bit of a twist. Been there a few times. The food is of good quality.

My girlfriend and I visited Bosco last weekend. We had a counter seat and could see all the mains and starters being prepared and served. Our meat was sliced for our starter and pizza made practically in front of us. The service was great and...

Absolutely love it here - perfect for parties of any size and occasion. The pizza is out of this world and genuinely the best I've ever had except for in Rome (which will take some beating). The vegetarian pick for me is the Queen Green...

We ate here yesterday evening with the family and the food and service were excellent. The arancini were particularly good, and the pizzas were of a similarly high quality. Service was efficient and very friendly. Very busy with a good atmosphere; you certainly need to...

Had an amazing dinner here. My work colleagues and I ordered quite a few starters to share. The pizza was amazing and very large so this could be shared also.

Possibly best pizza I have ever eaten. Ordered the Venetian and it came very promptly! Hubby and kids all loved theirs too. Great menu and super friendly service.

We popped in for a quick pizza. The pizza was very good (if a little on the pricey side). Although there is a kids menu it doesn’t really seem like a kid friendly restaurant, especially for energetic toddlers.

Was looking forward to trying bosco as I had heard good things , and ended up slightly dissapointed ; pizza was ok , tables were crammed together ; service was ok but felt it was just another pizza based restaurant that underwhelms

The food is excellent, with really good quality ingredients. Very good pizza and pasta, but the other dishes are equally well prepared. Service was friendly. Our only problem was that it gets quite noisy.

I chose to have lunch here after reading Tripadvisor reviews . We had a friendly welcome and were seated immediately. Food was good and good value too. Pizzas were authentic . We also had the zucchini frittis and arancini. All good . Dessert were the...

If you want to eat a good pizza,very closed to Italian pizza, it is a right place to go.The only problem is the cost, a bid expensive !!!!

I was on my way to lunch at Cote Brasserie and took a wrong turning - ended up here. I started with fritto misto di mare - not bad, no shells. Then, for the main, I had linguine with granchio - not bad, could taste...

Fantastic friendly attentive service from all the staff who served us. We had a table near the wood fired pizza oven so were able to watch the pizzas being made. The guys making the pizzas were busy (a Friday night, restaurant fill) and folk waiting...

What an outstanding evening. Sat at the bar and asked the waiter Pasquale to recommend his favorite dishes. I had a selection of meats and cheeses as an appetizer and then the Friarielli pizza as an entree. Each was more delicious than the last. Pasquale...

A delightful Italian restaurant, in the words of my 6-year old daughter “the best pizza I’ve ever had” if I were local this would become a regular.

Outstanding everything. We sat at the chef bar and it was an amazing experience. The head chef, Joe, let us ask many questions about food and their cuisine. The staff was amazing. The food, however, was the best in all of Bath/Bristol. We had pizza,...

Our waitress was friendly, helpful and attentive in the best possible ways. We shared starters but having tasted the spectacular arancini I wished I'd been more selfish and had a plate all to myself. The beetroot and carrot side was delightfully multicoloured and tasty. The...

Simply fantastic. Wipes the floor with all the other local pizza emporiums. Super attentive staff, and knowledgeable about the produce / food. Great aperitif drinks (we had Negroni and Bellini), had choice of meats and cheese as starter, came with the most fantastic focaccia, then...

2pm: Sunny day in Bristol and we was so starving... Two courses (11£): Arancini taleggio as starter are a joy for your taste buds, well fried, creamy inside so right taste and texture! Carbonara as main (but you can choose a pizza as well) is...

Amazing venetian pizza and can’t recommend the courgette fries enough! Service was lovely, all very attentive and friendly. Yay for Bosco

T'was a sunny day in lovely clifton Village when I strolled past this restaurant, the sun shone in through its opened front window to reveal its tasteful decor, as the smells from the kitchen gently wafted out into the open air. Boy did I want...

We visited Bosco on Saturday night really enjoyed the food service and vibes. So then we rebooked for the next evening and had another amazing meal. We got to know Joe and Andreas who was working on the floor had an amazing dinner and can’t...

My wife visited the other restaurant the week before and had raved about the food, so when we're stuck for an idea for dinner we popped along to see if we could get a table. Whilst we hadn't booked we arrived early enough to get...

I went with friends one weekday lunchtime and when we came to order at 12.45 there was only 1 fish left which my friend who was gluten free had as there was nothing else on the menu for her despite being informed of her situation...

Hands down my favourite pizza place in Bristol. Super yummy pizzas with a good amount of choice and imaginative specials. Plus Swoon ice cream on the menu for desert. Staff were great too. Go there.

Fabulously authentic Italian restaurant with staff smartly dressed in bright white.. clean and efficient! My friends and I started out sharing a dozen starters between us including arancinj risotto balls, meatballs, focaccia with dipping oil, bruschetta topped with toasted peppers.. all delicious! Pizza was the...

Try to sit at back as better light. Great for celebrations, groups, families, couples. Best to book good wines. Great pizza or pasta dishes and puds

Ate here last night for an our anniversary. Fabulous food and great service. Amazing pizza, lovely chilled atmosphere. The star of the show was my dessert, hot Italian doughnuts with Lemon curd and Custard... Oh my they were good. Great selection of wines and good...

Pizza was a little soggy and ingredients quite average. Place was busy and service was slow. There are better pizza places in Bristol.

We popped in for lunch to treat ourselves. We both ordered pizza. OH had the one with fresh Parma ham and rocket and he thought it was delicious. I had a new pizza with sun-dried tomato sauce which was very good but quite rich. The...

I tried the takeaway pizza, it was on time, the ingredients were extremely good and the pizza was delicious. I’ll come back to the restaurant to try the other dishes.

Gorgeous food, great atmosphere, very friendly helpful staff and reasonable prices, what more could you want! The arancini and the artichokes were to die for, pizza's superb, my fennel sausage ragu was beautifully cooked and the red wine (tarantino primotivo) was really delicious. All in...

This place is always buzzing, even on a weekday or a cold Saturday afternoon. Another place where I’m welcomed with a 4 month old baby. Fantastic pizzas - lots of unusual choices, good selection of interesting wines, and unusual starters - try the Italian meat...

I have been to this restaurant time and time again due to the excellent food and atmosphere. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes Italian food and if you do go then you should probably try and book a table. Easily one of the...

Heard great things, but the service was slow, poor and disinterested. We waited 15 mins for a drinks order and almost an hour for our pizzas to arrive. Pizza does not take that long. Service was disinterested, distant and unfriendly. People who arrived after us,...

Come here for a range of inventive pizzas, good wines by the glass and service by staff who seem to want to chat and care about whether you enjoy the food.

Food was good and the prices were not expensive. Service however was poor - 30 minutes to get a drink, some food ordered didn’t turn up but was on the bill nonetheless, waiter arrogant. Tables that arrived before us were served after us, and we...

This was our first time at Bosco - a party of 9 for a birthday celebration. We aren't the easiest to cater for with 2 vegans, 3 vegetarians and someone who needs a gluten free meal, but Bosco were brilliant. Everyone enjoyed their meals. An...

We live this restaurant but last time we went I ordered pasta instead of pizza. The pasta was beautiful but the wild boar sauce was a bit rich for my taste so hubby ended up eating a lot of it to help me out. We’ll...

We have eaten at this Bosco location several times, but the pizzas we had yesterday were over the top in quality. We went for lunch and the crowd was small compared to dinner, but the food was fabulous. You will not be sorry if you...

We went with our 2 year old son and 3 adults. The waiter messed up the order so while two of us were eating our pizza one of us had to wait for theirs to be cooked which was not a great start. The service...

Enjoyable meal. Pizza was good, as was the Caponata. The team were very friendly, and siting at the bar, we witnessed all of the pizzas being prepared with care.

We now visit this restaurant when we fancy treating ourselves to pizza, it's rare but it is worth it. We always have the pizzas which are very good, excellent toppings, a fantastic tomato sauce and a great crust. The service is always friendly.

Chose 3 different pizzas and a pasta dish - all were really good (albeit the spicy tomato is very spicy). Deserts also were excellent Super restaurant

Met friends for a catch up and have some fussy eaters. Decided you cannot go wrong with pizza - we were not disappointed! The wood fired pizzas are delicious. Beautiful flavours and taste great straight from the oven. I had a pizza bianca with porchetta...

I get that pizzas are very subjective and trying to find 'the best' is pointless. However, if you want to try a pizza that certainty qualifies to be considered for the accolade, go here. In my opinion, it's the best pizza I've had in a...

We booked last minute so had to sit at the bar but it was a great find. Authentic, homemade Italian food which was delicious with a reasonable early bird menu price tag too. Staff were helpful and friendly.

We had a table booked for 8 of us as we were visiting Bristol for the weekend, We expected it to be busy on a Saturday evening but had great service all evening. The starters and pizzas were all very tasty and we were glad...

We arrived early Thursday evening and benefitted from a meal deal. We didn’t need to reserve if we finished within 1-1/2 hours as they were booked up. I asked the waitress to recommend a starter and main meal which was lightly cooked strips of steak...

Booked a table for lunch at the pizza bar. It was fun to watch the pizza being cooked. I had the set 2 course lunch - arancini and spaghetti carbonara. Both were nice, the carbonara was rich and delicious. My husband had some artichokes (lovely...

My partner and I went here for dinner on a Saturday night. The food was lovely, we had cold meats to start, and then pizza. The service let the meal down. We waited 25 minutes for drinks, and received our starters before they had even...

Bosco is always busy so we were lucky to get in one evening as we passed by. We ordered a pizza each and a tomato salad to share. The tomatoes were lovely. The pizzas are really good, although the crusts are a bit thick for...

I've been there today for lunch with my partner...we started with meatballs and the arancini...and I was pleasantly surprised...but I didn't expect a so good pizza...that pizza was just unbelievable...honestly the best pizza than I ever had in uk. Amazing also the staff...we promise to...

This is a great restaurant very busy best to book. Very vibrant, friendly staff clean, great food. Good suggestions from waiters. Good wines or other drinks. Had a brilliant night very obliging will adapt menu to what you want. Great pizzas, pasta dishes and fresh...

Been here couple times and it won't be complete with Aperol Spritz, Arancini and its Bosco Carne Pizza! Highly recommended to have their tiramisu for the dessert :)

Mmmmm nice!! Well maybe Napoli according to the waiter!! Thats the key to the restaurant, they try to keep the style of food in the Napoli style. My Calibrian pizza was great. Worth a visit.

I came here on a Saturday night with a friend. Mid evening, the place was fairly busy. Typical trendy, hipster pizza joint which once would have only been found in London, but nowadays are easily found out in the provinces, like this place in Clifton....

Used to visit the one on Whiteladies Rd, especially in the winter to sit on the stools in front of the fire oven! It's a lovely little place to go for a mid afternoon or early evening, recommend sharing the pizza and the main tomato...

Just had lunch with friends and two babies. The staff were fantastic and the food was excellent. I rarely wrote reviews but had to in this instance. Great place

Excellent service and great food! The meatball and garlic bread starters were a great start and the pizzas tasted amazing. Finished off nicely with a glass of Montepulciano.

If you're looking for really good pizza with a distinctly Italian flavour, then give Bosco Pizzeria a try. We've eaten there several times but our last visit was superb. My wife's pizza was custom made and my fennel sausage plus spaghetti carbonara were also excellent....

Terrific food, interesting menu, authentic Italian, would thoroughly recommend. Especially the pre-6pm meal deals. Staff very friendly. Good fun buzzy atmosphere. Excellent music at just the right volume. Suitable for all ages.

The food here has always been great and the drinks are tasty. However, the music (especially in the back of the restaurant) is far too loud which spoils the atmosphere somewhat. Staff turned the music down a bit but it was still uncomfortable. The tables...

First time visit to Bosco, pleasantly surprised how light it is in the back room, love what they did with the space. Every staff member greeted us on the way in and said goodbye on the way out, excellent service throughout our meal. Food was...

Tasty pizzas which generous toppings base a big soggy and thick, personally prefer crispier but main complaint is tiny marble tables that aren't big enough to accomadste two plates with pizza and are so slippery your plate slides around while you try to cut it....

We came here for dinner and while it was a nice evening we wouldn’t return. To start there were no spirits listed on the drinks menu, just beers, wines and soft drinks, so my partner tried something new (Negroni) as he does not drink beer...

Popped in for a cheap early dinner and was not disappointed. Had a 3 course meal for £14, and everything was delicious. The arancini, which quite honestly are never my favourite thing, were wonderful, and the zeppole also delicious. Can't fault anything and especially for...

The pizza here is on the pricey side but very tasty and huge. I struggle to finish a pizza here but staff will happily box up any leftovers for you. It’s not a big restaurant so recommend booking in advance as it gets very popular....

The arancini are great, and my pizza (Venician) was the best I have had outside Sicily. Very impressed that wine can be ordered by the half-bottle, other than by 175ml glass. The ambiance is not particularly charming, and sugar (white only) is served in ugly...

Popped into Bosco for lunch on a whim and was rewarded with excellent food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I had the arancini appetiser, which was an absolute delight: crispy crust, and creamy cheese and risotto filling, served with a wedge of lemon. And...

Fast, friendly service, good food from starters, mains to desserts, fine range of drinks and good value - very popular!

Tbh I am not a big fan of pizza, so had been avoiding a trip to Bosco; but my wife and her friend love a pizza; and the overwhelming personal recommendations created an unstoppable momentum; so we ended up here on Saturday night. I asked...

Wow wow wow ! What a fantastic place . The food is delicious , (with pizza so good I wouldn’t be surprised to see 4 pizza loving ninja turtles ordering seconds!) 😂 great staff, great kids menu, great atmosphere

We ended up here by accident because the staff at the nearby Pizza Express warned us that their service would be bad. (We usually find that out for ourselves in that particular branch.) It was a happy accident because Bosco was excellent. The staff were...

I cannot emphasise enough how friendly the staff are, how fresh and good the food is, coupled with a lovely atmosphere. The children's menu is reasonable, and the regular menu is well priced. I'd recommend this place for lunch or dinner to anyone, and will...

I visited on the 20th December with two friends. We received a friendly welcome and our waiter was helpful and pleasant. The food was excellent. We all had pizza which are so tasty, freshly made. Just wonderful. We will be returning. Thank you bosco.

Booked a table for 4 for a casual Christmas catch up with some friends and was really looking forward to the evening, especially after reading all the great reviews. On arrival there were no staff to be seen, after a few minutes of hanging around...
