Bosco Pizzeria Cheltenham in Cheltenham

Really enjoyed a busy but romantic Saturday pizza....great value particularly a beautiful red..

Service was great but let down by the food. Over salted, stodgy and poor work by the chef.

Great pizza, Terrible accoustics. Sound bounces off the glass walls and there are no soft furnishings present to dampen it. I couldn't hear a word the waiter or my friends were saying. I generally have a high tolerance for this type of thing but the volume inside was obscene. A cascading cacophony of sound will hinder your dining experience. Don't blame the staff, blame the brainbox who turned an insurance showroom into a restaurant without putting curtains in. Personally, I'd avoid until something changes.

Had a gorgeous evening and meal at Bosco! The food was amazing and so was the service! A special mention to Daniele who looked after us and made sure our evening was 10/10!

Went on a Thursday evening and it was very busy (recommend booking) but service was still incredibly fast. The food was delicious and staff were attentive - we had an enjoyable evening!

Turned up on spec. Seated quickly. Food and service very good. A bit noisy.

Delicious pizzas and nice decor. Staff were friendly. Hot chocolate was very nice!

It was a sunny afternoon and we were walking by, despite being busy we were immediately found a table outside so we could sit with our dog 🐶. The staff were very efficient and helpful and the food came quickly and the pizza was so light that even though it was big, it was easy to eat it all! So delicious! All for a good price as well, about £15 per pizza 🍕. Perfect.

Absolutely stunning food and location with a reasonable price! Thanks to the team, the service was fantastic. 🙏

Lovely place, food was amazing!

Prices are sensible and food good. Nice outside seating too

Thank you for making our evening feel special the food is fantastic and our waitress Delilah was so welcoming

Real buzzy place great food and service all round spot on vibe well worth a visit.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. My waiter Filipe was knowledgeable about the food menu and helped us pick the perfect wine also. Nice Italian food, would recommend

We came here on a Saturday evening, it was very busy but service did not suffer, we ordered starters, mains and desserts as well as cocktails and we could not fault any of the food, we particularly enjoyed the pizzas and the pizza base was perfectly cooked. Although it closes at 10, we were not rushed out and they still served us desserts and we didn’t feel like we needed to rush eating them. Amazing restaurant and we will be visiting again!!

what a fabulous pizza! and such a lovely place. Having had a nod to try this 2 years ago. I was eager to enjoy it. but the food and service quickly let me know, I have left this place alone for far too long. I can't wait to come back and try the other options in the menu. Excellent quality food at a reasonable price! don't think this place is soulless by the 4 star atmosphere rating. This is a quiet Tuesday after a Bank Holiday and the service was still very good.

We had a great meal at Bosco, it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. I had the tagliata which was spectacular. The pizzas, and kid's pasta were also delicious. Gorgeous setting and friendly staff. Loved it. Thank you ❤️

Tasty pizza, sitting outside on a Sunday evening. Pleasant atmosphere and seats available without booking. Busy.

Loved our lunch here, the food was really tasty and authentic. We ordered Ventricina pizza it was delicious. The service was really good too. Will visit again soon!!

Extremely welcoming greeting as I was shown to my table. The waitress was amazingly helpful, getting my dog a bow of iced water and then allowing us to move to another table with more shade for said pooch. Nice cold beer was served promptly followed by an excellent and generous portion of chicken Casper salad. Loads of flavour and the perfect split of ingredients including really tasty chicken breast. Finished off lunch with an excellent affogato for dessert. Will definitely be returning on the basis of this great customer experience, thank you!

Love this place. Been so many times and always good. We had Daniele this time and he was AMAZING. So attentive and very funny. Definitely recommend a visit.

Always a decent meal that doesn't break the bank. Never disappoints

Great lunch time call in. Good food nice atmosphere service good.

Great place to sit outside in the sunshine. Delicious pizza and side of Rocket salad. Service was great. Can’t fault a thing

Nice place to sit and have a drink and food. Staff were polite and food arrived quickly

Amazing food, atmosphere and incredible service from Daniele! 10/10

Daniele gave me amazing service and the food is amazing 😍

Busy place! My partner and I were visiting from Canada and was sat at the bar which was no problem for us. The bar was facing the kitchen/chefs, so we had a server/waiter. He came and took our food and drink order and we didn't see him again until we got up to pay. Not sure if that's the norm, but I do appreciate someone coming to check on how our food is. My partners spaghetti was a little undercooked for his liking, but he was hungry and ate it. He shared some of my Bosco pizza which absolutely SLAPPED. Best 'European' style mergherita pizza I've ever had. My boyfriend doesn't usually go for the thin euro style but he really enjoyed it.

Lovely pizza and salads, good place to sit and enjoy the sunshine

Very average nothing to write home about. Wife's pizza was burnt on the bottom. They add 12.5% service charge when no service given. Not acceptable. It's a pizza restaurant after all.

Myself and my family enjoyed a fantastic meal at Bosco, the service is excellent, with a buzzing atmosphere and although it was busy we didn’t have to wait long for anything. Everyone who served us, was very polite snd friendly. The food quality is superb and authentic yet the prices are so reasonable! We cannot wait to go back!

Light dough and pizzas were cooked well. Service was good and the place is really nicely decorated. Good quality toppings as well

The food was exceptional as was the service. We had an excellent time that we both thoroughly enjoyed, I have now been here in three occasions and in all three the experience was the same. Excellent food, perfectly presented and prepared in a very friendly relaxed atmosphere, highly recommended.

I’ve been twice now and both times I had pizza. It’s great but I wouldn’t say the best pizza I’ve had. It’s a bit too greasy each time for me. But I’d still recommend trying! The atmosphere is always quite nice there, especially in the summer when you can sit outside and have a glass of wine when the sun is out.

Great tasting, freshly prepared food with quick service. I called in on the spur of the moment, had no issues getting seated, and took advantage of the set price lunchtime menu with lots of options to choose from. Arancini started, and Pizzza Bisco main, with half a beer moretti for around £20 including the 12.5% service charge.

Calamari bland, pizza ok, service all over the place. Asked for knife and fork and pizza cutter which was available. Didn't offer wine then after ordering bottle was left on the bar and I got it myself, by which time pizza nearly finished. Everyone running around but no one in control. Could do better!

Ate with friends here. We all had the pizza with chilli oil and honey. It was incredibly tasty. Would highly recommend coming here. The atmosphere was great as well, lively place.

It's a great place. Good food, professional service, fantastic location. Highly recommended.

Really good place with excellent food

The pizza was hard to cut and slightly soggy but still very tasty and authentic.

My boyfriend and I ate here for the very first time as we both love Italian food, and we weren't disappointed as the reviews online for this restaurant were spot on. Although I had pasta, this time, next time, I will have pizza here. It's definitely one of my goto restaurants in Cheltenham for Italian food.

Normally I deliver to Bosco. The food always smells lovely everytime I deliver here, so I decided to come here for a meal on my weekend trip to Cheltenham. Thank you for your great service. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Just had a great relaxed lunch here which was very enjoyable. A focused but interesting menu covering pizzas but also lovely sides and bites, incl pasta dishes; meat plates; cheese; the most creamy n delicious arincini ever; and breads galore. Good wine list too with great choices of by the glass; carafe or bottle - why doesn't more places do carafes?! Service was spot on and fast but unobtrusive- Totally fab 90 minutes. Thanks everyone

Very good, and fantastic service.

Great location and great food, the staff can be a little inconsistent (manager is super friendly, some of the waiters can be a bit rude), but still a firm favourite of mine

Friendly staff and tasty food. A great place to meet up and chat with friends.

Pizza was great, high end ingredients. Highly recommended!

Delilah our waitress was lovely and smiley. Food was great too!

really great. I even left an additional tip as I was so impressed, thank you

Great selection for a date night! While I don't think it is quite to the level of standards as the Bristol location (Food/Service), it was still very enjoyable and we will be back. My only complaint is that it seems that they don't have 'real' bartenders. I asked if they could make a martini (to which they had all the ingredients for), and they informed me I could only order the specific cocktails from the cocktail list (about 5 or 6). It doesn't seem like the people making drinks are trained to make anything other than the few on the menu. Had to go for a nightcap somewhere else after to curb my martini craving.

Fantastic food, service, very fresh ingredients delicious 😋

Following a recommendation, I went here with a friend for dinner! We booked Counter Seating as the place was busy and no tables were available, yet we found this to be a great decision! We were very close to the authentic Pizza Ovens and Fire Lit Stoves watching our food get made. The staff were attentive and friendly and we both had a great night. Both of us found the cost for 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 deserts plus drinks very reasonable and agreed we would absolutely be attending again.

Really amazing food. The best pizzas in the U.K. HANDS DOWN! Daniele was fantastic, lovely service - super attentive and funny. What a lovely night!

Average pizza, better off sticking to a frozen one from the oven. Service was rubbish as well, got our order wrong, very amateurish.

Had a great time at Bosco on Friday evening, the place was packed! Lovely energy about the venue, despite being busy it didn’t feel noisy, could still have good conversation with friends. Sat with a nice view of the gardens. This was my second visit and the food and service both times have been great. The Arancini starter is incredible and I really enjoyed the Bosco Carne pizza. I also had a espresso martini which was delicious and arrived in the cutest glass. Staff offered a recommendation for a new zucchini pizza which wasn’t on the menu, food just seems really fresh and authentic. Will definitely be returning!

When you enter the pizzeria the incredible pizza smell hits you and all you want to do is start eating pizza. I had the Calabria one and loved it. They were very generous with the nduja. I enjoyed it very much. I had a panna cotta for dessert and even though the flavour was very good it had way too much gelatine.

Smooth buzzy vibe (sat at the end of the Chef's table) and impeccable service (we only had 45 mins to order and eat unfortunately which was zero trouble despite the place being full). Food and cocktails were exquisite, and staff seemed happy in their work and were totally on it. Did I mention that we loved this place!

Really nice food, our starters and pizzas both great - highlight though was the service from Daniele very fun, professional and efficient - we came away both saying he was fantastic

Flabby uninteresting pizza, uninterested service, incredibly draughty table by front door (with missing glass). Constant trickle of delivery drivers past the table. Disappointed because this place has such a strong reputation.

Stopped here by accident at lunch time and we were pleasantly surprised.

Amazing food and amazing service from Daniele!!!

Amazing experience here. The servers were extremely professional and lovely. We had Danielé who was an amazing help and constantly checking on us to make sure everything was okay. Will definitely be coming again!

Thanks for Daniele for a great lunch!

Danielle was a perfect server and all of our food was excellent - perfect place for a birthday lunch or dinner, thank you!

Daniele was fantastic! The best waiter from Bologna ever! Thank you

Great place, great food and our waiter was great. Thank you Daniele for a lovely lunch.

Absolutely super place. - the best carbonara I have ever had, highly recommend for anyone looking for a lovely meal

Went to Cheltenham Boscos with my lovely mum and had a wonderful time. Great food. Great service.

Best Italian food you could ever had in Gloucestershire and probably anywhere around it. You need to go and try it. It seems you're having a little trip to Italy without leaving England. A must try...

Very tasty meal, quick and attentive service and reasonable prices.

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.

Always love coming to Bosco, the pizza is fantastic and the service is very friendly and helpful.

We had such a lovely meal, the pizzas are just the best. The service was great, our waiter, Daniele, was absolutely fantastic - so friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back!

Lovely food and amazing service from Daniele!!

Excellent genuinely Italian-authentic pizzas. We've been to the supposedly "best pizza restaurant in Napoli" and the pizzas here are just as good (even if in fairness the atmosphere can't be). Superb if you like authentic but don't go if you want pineapple (request and I guess they'll ask you to leave !?!) or if you are going home to someone who doesn't like garlic !

Pizza pretty good and decent size, although far too much oil on it when it arrived making it quite soggy and by the time I was half way through eating, it had turned relatively cold. Serving them on warm plates would help that issue.

I've ordered takeaway several times but this time was a horrible experience as they have not read the notes on the order and we have allergies, I've called the restaurant in regards to this and been passed to the manager which explained to me that there is nothing he can do about it and I need to call Uber eats like they were the ones that cooked our food and offered to do the food again only if we come and collect it 😡😡😡😡

Great overall experience, friendly staff and AMAZING pizzas! Best in town!

Excellent venue, everything was superb, service, food, drinks. When we are in the area we will definitely visit again

Was a nice meal! Would definately go again! 😊🌹

Fantastic Pizza, nice modern decor and friendly service

Awesome place!!.. our company went there a couple of weeks ago!!..Great staff and beautiful food!!... would thoroughly recommend this place!!👌👍

We had a very enjoyable lunch among friends and members of u3a

Excellent food and fabulous service . Was very very busy but food was great and didn’t wait long either

One of the best pizzeria I've ever been too. Fresh Italian sourced ingredients. Great wine. Superb service and attention to detail. Thanks so much, looking forward to our next visit

Great night. 3 of us eating and very good service. I had the pizza after an excellent brochetta. Recommended.

First time with friends visiting the area, very enjoyable experience.

Absolutely amazing pizza! Very attentive staff, and the restaurant has a really relaxed atmosphere. The tiramisu is top class!

Food was really good, service was quick and it had a really nice atmosphere. One of the nicest lasagne I've had in a long time

Very enjoyable food , great service too .

Very good Italian food and good location off the Promenade.

We had breakfast here and it was beautiful. A break from the norm of standard breakfast offerings, I had baked eggs with fennel sausage in a tomato sauce and a lovely bowl of natural yoghurt, apricots and granola. My husband had the pancakes which he really enjoyed, perfectly sweet and fluffy. The freshly baked focaccia was also very nice. I’ve never had it so fresh before. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. I’ve booked again for a business lunch this week.

Excellent lunch here mid week. Very reasonable fixed price lunch menu. The pizza was great. The brushetta was a bit of small portion size and the cannoli was over chilled. Service excellent and the restaurant is stylish and smart overlooking the park in the town centre.

The service was absolutely incredible from all the servers and the staff. The food and drink that was provided was really good. We had the espresso martini as well as the bosco bufala pizza and the bosco carne pizza and it was superb. Michael and Ash were really nice and friendly and looked after us very well

Very good authentic pizza. Great service and space.

Great place for pizza. Good service. More expensive than some pizza restaurants.

We only had coffes and a desert but the food in the tables around us looked very good. The service very good. The place, in the right spot in front of a wonderful park. The weather was awsome today, so, enjoy the cofee looking at the park under a blue sunny day has been perfect.

Great atmosphere and authentic wood fired pizzas which are reasonably priced. Service was good, albeit a little slow when we wanted to pay the bill. The pizza could have been cooked a minute longer as the base was soggy especially in the middle, and was a very thin pizza base. The arincini was particularly good as where the wood fired potatoes.

A recent trip to meet up with my family lead to an impromptu visit to the Cheltenham branch. Sadly they were very busy, and unable to accommodate us for at least 3 hours (even when we introduced our Border Terrier who coincidentally is named Bosco) Whilst waiting nearby for the rest of our party to arrive, the host came out to find us and let us know they could rearrange some tables and let us squeeze in, if we didn't mind "cramming" onto a smaller table. We of course accepted and had a wonderful time, great food and amazing service. All the staff found out our Bosco was visiting and he was treated like royalty. Highly recommended and if I find myself back in the west of England I would make an effort to eat here again. Bosco also would enjoy a visit, if only for the fusses the staff made over him

Absolutely lovely time here, will 100% come back! The tiramisu was amazing as recommended and you could really tell it was homemade. Loved the pizzas also, I went for the Venetian pizza and my partner went for the Carcifoi. The service was amazing, the guy who served us was so funny and kind! Would recommend
