Bosco Pizzeria in Cheltenham

Visited Bosco for a pre theatre meal. Initial impression was good, we ordered drinks, which came relatively promptly. We ordered starters and mains. The arancini starter was well made and tasty, however the two calamari starters were underwhelming, they were flabby and rubbery, some were hardly coated in breadcrumbs, so that was disappointing and my wife left half of hers. The mains, two pizzas and the sliced steak meal on the whole were fine, however nothing special, hence I can only give it a score of 3. Overall an underwhelming experience, not sure we will return.

Really good value for money. Great pizza. Great portions. Plus they serve beer. I will certainly return in the near future.

I came with family last week (had to book in advance as it gets busy) and we all had a lovely meal. The focaccia is fresh, the pizza and pasta was amazing and I will definitely return. The only reason it’s 4/5 as there were some minor things I thought could be improved - the round table was not large enough for four adult meals and sides and the drinks menu was 95% wine or soft drinks so more choice even on spirits would have been nice. The staff were great and those points won’t stop me returning.

Great, friendly, attentive service. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Interior design is relaxed snd not too noisy. Highly recommended!

We stopped here for lunch and sat outside as we had 3 dogs with us. Service was prompt and polite. Ordered a few beers and they arrived quickly. We ordered pizzas and a side salad. The 4 of us all commented on how good the pizzas were. Great place to eat.

(Best Italian restaurant this side of Italy) Went there for a friend’s Engagement. The staff were very friendly professional and accommodating, from the time we arrived to the time we left was just perfect. Our waiting staff Timi Magda and Ash were simply amazing nothing was too much trouble, they went above and beyond celebrating at the end with Limoncello. We had 7 different main courses to share which was unusual for me but we went with their recommendation, Wow I have to say each dish was spectacular. Cannot wait to return. Well done Boscos 5*

I have been to bosco pizzeria many times now and the food and service is always great. The Burratina e pomodoro is AMAZING! The staff are knowledgeable about the food and drink and are always very friendly, especially the lovely waitress with the red hair. Would definitely recommend eating here.

My daughter and I had a delightful lunch at Bosco Pizzeria today. The Italian doughnuts were a highlight of our meal - absolutely amazing! What made our visit even more memorable was the exceptional service provided by Daniele. He was attentive, friendly, and truly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Bosco Pizzeria for a delicious pizzas and salads and top-notch service. Can't wait to visit again!

The pork Milanese was very good however the spaghetti served with it not so good; very claggy. The pizza topping was fine but minimalist however the crusts were so very soggy! Not at all crispy, really poor. Considering this is a “specialist” pizza place they need to buck their ideas up. Service was quick, Sangiovese wine good and a fair price too! Just improved the spaghetti and the pizza - your specialities!!

Visiting family in Cheltenham so chose Bosco Pizzaria for dinner. We reserved a table and were seated quickly on arrival. The waiter was very good and happy to recommend food and drink options (his wine recommendation was superb). The ambience in the restaurant was excellent, busy with a great vibe. We were all happy with our food choices, all three courses were tasty even though I thought the pizza toppings were a little sparse. It was my wife’s birthday and towards the end of the service the waiter gave my wife a complimentary scoop of ice cream and wished her a happy birthday, a nice gesture. The whole experience was very pleasant and a general consensus was that we would return, although I feel the 12.5% service charge is a little steep. The bill was paid and we left. Only when I checked the bill the following morning I noticed that we had been charged £3.75 for the complimentary scoop of ice cream! My fault for not checking at the table as I assume they would have refunded the cost? However, as we did not order it I am extremely annoyed that it appeared on the bill.

Very disappointed. How can you serve deep fried polenta plain with no dipping sauce? How can a carbanara taste grainy. It tated like a rue sauce with bacon. Awful. The place was buzzing, great atmosphere. But the food was a let down. Won't recommend. Be warned there is a 12% service charge amd its was so overpriced anyway.

Vegetarian not even mentioned on the menu, unbelievable! Waitress didn’t understand what vegetarian was had mushroom pizza which was awful

A lovely lunch with fantastic service. Would happily visit again as we had such a good time with an attentive waiter. Thank you Daniele

Overall, the food at Bosco is really good after having from the set menu: arancini for starters and a margarita pizza for mains which was cooked in a open oven. The staff are really friendly and polite which makes the place so lovely.

Good food, nice atmosphere, generous portions and great service from Daniele. Nice that it’s not part of a huge chain. Will go again.

Nice food & reasonably priced. Excellent service from Daniele who went the extra mile for my fiancé’s birthday!

Great spot for pre theatre food at Town Hall. Pizzas are fantastic, red rose wine reasonably priced and a good drop, lastly staff were superb.

We booked an early pre theatre meal and were more than happy with the food and service. We sat at the counter as that was all that was available. It was great to watch the team at work, all very efficient and well coordinated. The pizzas were delicious as was our Irish coffees we had at the end of our meal. They only have three restaurants so not part of a massive badly chain that I personally hate.

Visited for early bird dinner - but had to specifically ask for the early bird menu. Sat outside which seemed to lessen the attention we received from the wait staff as the restaurant got busier - eg had to get our own condiments and ask for the bill several times. In spite of this the food was very good and we had a pleasant dinner.

We had a fantastic date night, great wine and the best pizza I’ve ever had. Our server, Daniele, was incredibly friendly and gave the best customer service I’ve ever received, great staff, great place, my new favourite restaurant, go here!

Every time I go to Boso alone, the service is terrible. The staff are not interested in solo diners. On more than one occasion, my pizza arrived before I finished my starter. What's tipped me over the edge? Last night (a Tuesday), I arrived at...

I paid £15 for a pizza that arrived 15min after everyone else's did. The middle of it was watery and just slid off the slices I had cut. Also they obviously cook the pizza first and then put the cold meat on it after. Its...

The restaurant is a nice venue & the service was good.The food is awful & completely over-priced. The Bruchetta at £5 was insultingly small, like two 50 pence pieces of badly toasted crap bread! I asked for extra anchovies on my Venetian for an additional...

We went at lunch for my husband's birthday. Ordered the Caprese salad listed under MAINS. If I order a main salad, I expect a salad (leaves etc). This was literally mozzarella and some green, tasteless tomatoes. More like the size of a starter and £10!...

On the edge of Imperial Gardens, the more curated neighbour of Montpellier Gardens and once the outside space of Cheltenham's now vanished third spa. The pizza was good if not huge for the price, and the service was pleasant and quick. Felt like I was...

Miss selling goods. Great big A frame outside advertising 2 courses for £14, lures customers in, but of course not available today!! Very naughty and should be done for illegal advertising

The pizzeria has a lovely terrace overlooking Imperial gardens and the service was ok. The starters were good (arancini and zuccini fritti) but the biggest disappointment was the Caprese salad: a few chunks of poorly cut tomatoes and burrata thrown (literally) together into a bowl,...

I attended the restaurant with my wife at the invitation of Michael, the general manager, following a previous dining experience that left a lot to be desired. On this occasion, praise where it’s worthy - Michael tended to us and was extremely accommodating and tentative/...

Great atmosphere, great pizza, great attentive staff and all for a great price! Can’t fault the team or restaurant. Located on the promenade at Imperial Square - location is perfect. Indoor and outdoor options - we like to have a ring side seat watching the...

Lovely food, pizzas are large. Service was reasonable but could have been better. Garlic bread was delicious. They got our pudding orders wrong, offered to change but we went with it. The environment is lovely, we went inside but in the window which felt private...

This is my first visit to this restaurant and I thought I would experience the lunch time set menu. Disappointed with the lack of choice (2 choices for starter mains and sweet). I have a cheese allergy which ruled out a starter 🙁 main course...

My husband and I decided to have lunch at this new restaurant in the upmarket part of cheltenham. We found our experience rather dissatisfying. We decided to try the set menu to give us an all-around tasting experience. I have to say comparison to most...

Has to be he best location in Cheltenham and happens to g=have the best Pizza I have ever tasted. You will not be disappointed. BTW the team are awesome!

We had a great pizza at Bosco last night. The pizzas were really tasty, good value, came super fast and the service was fantastic. In fact Filipe was a star and made our night. A great asset to the restaurant. We were staying for the...

Got turned away being told they were only taking bookings yet the place was half empty . Quite disgusted would nor recommend this place ro anyone!

Very busy outside so we had a table inside taken to a table waitress next visit was 10 minutes later obviously the larger tables get priority, placed our order two pizzas mine was the Fungi poor choice only could eat half it was bland and...

We sat outside on a sunny lunchtime and enjoyed 2 fantastic pizzas! They are without doubt the best pizzas I’ve tasted! Service was friendly and excellent. Cheltenham Council needs to sort out its high street parking charges though as we needed more than an hour!

A lovely experience, and well looked after by Daniele! Who gave the birthday girl a shot of lemonchello on the house!

Excellent service and the food was delicious. This is such a lovely venue and it was so lovely to be able to sit outside too for the best pizza in town :)

Our dinner at Bosco was 10/10, food was incredible, we sat outside and eating al fresco with an aperol in hand felt like the real Italian deal. Our waiter Daniele was extremely welcoming, friendly and gave us amazing service. We would definitely recommend the fungi...

Great food and wonderful service, always a lovely night out and sitting outside you could be in Italy. Our waiter Daniele was fantastic, very entertaining and had some great suggestions, will be back

Thanks to all the team for a fantastic evening The food was superb. The service was great. Thanks to our waiter Danielli for looking after us. He explained the menu and recommended menu items and wines to complement our meal.

A fantastic experience all round. A stylish and vibrant feel to the restaurant. Lots of energy and personality. A nice menu in terms of choice. Food was delivered promptly and is great in terms of portion and quality. You don’t have to be a pizza...

Went for lunch today as heard many good things about this place. Greeted quickly at the door and service was fast. Lovely waitress who served us and went the extra mile to make sure we were having a good experience! The food was brilliant and...

We had a great time at Bosco. The service was excellent as always, and the arancini is the star of the show.

Very nice buzzy restaurant. We sat at the counter where you could watch the pizza making and pasta. Service was a little slow - always had to stop someone rushing past to ask if we could order. Great options for starters / small plates and...

I had visited Bosco Pizzeria a while back just for dessert and looked forward to returning. This time it was for a mid-week lunch, which was sadly a disappointing experience. You can’t fault the location and the menu has a lot going for it. I...

Very friendly and welcoming pizza restaurant - particularly from Daniele who made our evening extra fun. The arancini were amazing - and the pizzas excellent - made with very fresh tasting ingredients. I would definitely go again.

Jordan from the Bosco Team was awesome - attentive, nothing too much to trouble and what an asset for the staff at Team Bosco !

Great evening and meal. We had expert guidance and service from Daniele - he kept us entertained and also helped with some excellent recomendations, We will definitely return :)

Great service by Daniel with lots of helpful advice and a lovely meal. Would definitely come again!

This new restaurant is a great addition to Cheltenham! Everything about it was perfect! Had a lovely lunch there today, sat outside in the sun overlooking the gardens. Had a mushroom pizza which was one of the best pizzas I ever had! Highly recommend dining...

Woohoo what an Amazing Italian Pizzeria, we visited yesterday on my Birthday and it was absolutely superb. It was our first visit to Bosco and was brilliant! I had a delicious Venetian and my husband enjoyed his Carciofi. The Service is Top Dollar, the authentic...

Lovely food - had 3 pizzas and a pasta carbonara and all enjoyed. Lovely vibe in the restaurant. Daniele, our waiter, was fantastic.

A really lovely friendly restaurant near the gardens in the centre of Cheltenham. We had a burrata to share to start and then the pork milanese and a pasta dish as mains. Food was very fresh and reasonably priced

This place is perfect for almost any occasion and has the best pizza Ever! The starters, the sides and everything else in between or of a very high standard. Last time we went, we were served by Danielle and he offered a fantastic service. He...

Daniele was an amazing waiter who looked after us and was great with all our kids. Food was great, would recommend.

We loved the pizza. We got the Ventricina, it was excellent. The service we received from our waiter Daniele made our experience here very enjoyable, he was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend here.

We went in just by chance and this place is great - good service , great food and very well priced so would highly recommend . we will be back again soon

Very nice people and food!! We didn’t have a reservation but they get us a table at the bar. We were celebrating a very special date. The waiter was nice and gave us good recommendations😊

Absolutely amazing food served with a smile from daniele, excellent service and overall a pleasant atmosphere

4 of us had lunch yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed or visit. Really good food at reasonable prices and wonderful service. What more can you ask?

Wonderful food and even better service. The service from Daniele made the evening. Super attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend, one of our favourite restaurants in cheltenham.

I love Bosco!! My pork Milanese with Spaghetti was amazing - the pasta tasted like it had been freshly made. Lovely service from Daniele, quick and very friendly, and the ambiance in there is stunning. I will definitely be returning!

We were greeted with a smile at a busy time on a Sunday and seated promptly even though we didn’t have a reservation. We didn’t have to wait too long for anything, drinks were good and authentic, my Negroni tasted spot on and the pizza...

First time dining at Bosco Pizzeria and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Great choices for children too - the pizzas on the kids menu were huge! Arancini, tiramisu and Italian donuts were delicious, as were all our meals. A big thanks to...

Lively atmosphere. Very good food. Daniele was most helpful host - we were looked after very well. A most enjoyable evening for all the family

The best Italian in Cheltenham. Daniele is an exceptional staff member - he brings the place to life each time we visit. Always delivering on the best recommendations! Highly recommend the romaine salad & funghi pizza. Delicious!! See you soon guys

Great evening! Came for anniversary dinner. Great service, served by Daniele who was absolutely delightful! Food was unreal, good portion sizes and pizza was very tasty. Nothing to complain about at all!!

Really nice lunch with friends. Food was good and service from our waiter Daniele was excellent. Just a tip, try and get a table inside the room, not near the main entrance as it can be drafty.

Really good food , starters and pizza all amazing. Daniele was especially great #happylifehappyhusband

Wonderful evening, excellent food and service - a big shout out to Daniele for making it extra special! We will be back very soon.

Would definitely recommend boscos pizzeria!! The food is amazing and well priced, the service was also great and very attentive!

Excellent wood fired pizzas, with traditional Italian ingredients. Danielle our waiter was very tentative and a great host! The tiramisu for dessert was exceptional. A fabulous evening all round.

We have been wanting to try this pizzeria for a while now. We were not disappointed! We started off with Arancini balls which were perfectly cooked and very tasty, the lemon on the side was the perfect touch. We also had the meatballs and buratta...

A Saturday visit for lunch… whilst the restaurant was busy, service was prompt, food great and a lovely atmosphere. Would visit again

If you’re looking for fantastic produce, drinks, delicious food and wonderful service, all for great value, there’s no better place in Cheltenham…

Cheerful reception and great service , sat at the bar and moved halfway through the meal with no fuss , great pizza base and flavours

We decided to dine at Bosco Pizzeria Cheltenham on the occasion of a friend's birthday. Suffice it to say that we had a great evening. Not only the food was spectacular, festival of flavours, but also the service was very professional, personable, with a warm...

Nice atmosphere and decor. Friendly waiting staff and good service. Good choices on the menu including vegetarian options. Great burrata and appreciated that focaccia and olive oil were included with this. Tasty main courses and generous portions. Prices about average although disappointed to see a...

This was our 10th visit today ! Its turned into our regular! Great menu, seasonal , cooked by chefs that know what they’re doing . Whether it is a snacky lunch of cold meats and cheese or a full blown pizza and Tuscan stew affair...

Absolutely fantastic. The food was so good! Arabcini balls are the best I've ever tasted. A good traditional carbonara served with plenty of parmasan and the zeppelo for dessert was great... huge portion size though! Will definitely be back.

We attempted to eat at Bosco a couple of times when it first opened without booking and without joy understandably. I was therefore excited when we first went. The pizza's are good in the main but not consistently. Again other dishes I have had when...

on a very quiet Sunday afternoon waiting over an hour between a starter and a main is not acceptable. To be fair the staff brought us over a free drink as we had been waiting so long - but as we were driving a free...

Heard so many mixed reviews about this place, and read on here, gave it a go with kids. Lovely setting, huge glass windows over looking gardens , Queens hotel and 131 and nicely furnished inside. Need to book online, not sure they take walk ins....

I appreciated my son and I could split this offer when a lot of other venues seem to struggle with the request

We went to this restaurant on a recommendation and we were not disappointed,food ,service and ambiance was amazing,we can’t wait to go back .

I’ve been to Bosco a few times and I’ve honestly never had a bad meal. The food is always on point, kitchen always acknowledges you with a smile and the staff are always friendly and so happy to accommodate anything. Yes sometimes you can’t get...

Sat outside on a sunny afternoon in October. Service quick & efficient. Pizzas were amazing!! Honestly these were as good as ones we ate in New York this year!! Well done. We will be back.

This wasn't a great experience. It was so dark that we had to use the lights on our phones to read the menu. The rigatoni main was almost cold, though replaced with a hot one. The focaccia was cold, damp, heavy and chewy (not just...

I have eaten here so many times now and have seen it through and commented on all its teething problems and believe me there have been many. My first complaint on day 2 or 3 of opening was cold pasta and right up until last...

Visited with my partner this evening, after reading the reviews I was slightly concerned however I had no need to be. Immaculate decor, lovely atmosphere and beautiful food. We had the spaghetti carbonara which was cooked the traditional Italian way and a huge pizza! Large...

I went with some friends a few weeks ago, on our usual midweek meal out. We had a good time! The restaurant looked nice, and we ordered some wine. I'll completely admit, that lasagna was seriously delicious. Everything was looking good... Until the guy serving...

Three of us visited here for an 18:00 booking on bank Holiday Monday. The restaurant was less than half full, with what appeared a good balance of waiter staff. However, despite an enthusiasm to take our orders before we had sufficient time to look at...

New venue in Cheltenham and great for a night out with friends. Attentive service and really good pizzas. Fresh toppings and really good flavours. Have been twice and will definitely be back.
