Bosco Pizzeria in Bristol, City of

Pretty poor service tonight on what was a quiet start to the evening. Food arrived promptly and was really tasty but was let down by the service. There’s a compulsory service charge added on to the bill of 12.5% which ordinarily I would add myself. Wasn’t happy about having to pay that in light of the poor service received. Staff didn’t check in to see how the food was and it took a long time to clear the table. Asked for a dessert menu but after waiting 10-15 minutes just for the menu, I decided just to get the bill. It was probably another 5-10 minutes after receiving the receipt that I settled up and was able to leave. I appreciate many restaurants add service charges but it should be discretionary for tables under 6 people. Tipping culture is very different in the U.K. and should be more representative of the service received which tonight wasn’t great.

I recently visited Bosco and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The food was average at best, with starters like the bruschetta being particularly underwhelming – they were tiny portions for the price. The wait for our food was excessively long, which made the whole experience less enjoyable. To top it off, they completely forgot about my daughter’s meal, which was frustrating. Another downside was the service charge of 12%, which felt unreasonable given the overall experience. It’s disappointing when the quality doesn’t match the price you’re paying. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it!!

Really nice atmosphere and service. But the food was just plain average. I could have cooked a better carbonara myself.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff & good pizza...

Great pizza and atmosphere! Would definitely go back again.

Went here for a Mothers Day lunch. Have been before and was just as delicious again. Very reasonable too

Great atmosphere, best pizza in Bristol.

Wonderful pizza restaurant. There was a time when one could only get good pizza in Italy itself. Those times have thankfully changed. The Emilia Romana pizza is quite possibly the best pizza I've had here or in Italy. Amazing

Always a first class experience

This time the food was coming out slowly but it didn't disappoint! I highly recommend the tagliata con rugola salad! It's so good

Lovely food and atmosphere! Erin was a delight! Will be coming again soon.

Had such a nice evening at Bosco, both the food and the service was top tier, especially Erin who was so great and made us feel really welcome! The interior and general ambience was really cool and lively. Can’t wait to go back :)

Loooved my dinner at Bosco, I had the Calabria pizza which was soo yummy! Thank you so much to Erin who made my evening, she was so attentive and went above and beyond! Will be returning soon :)

One if my favourite restaurants of all. They've just got everything right, the food, the service, the ambiance... The staff are exceptional and the place is always buzzing. The staff are always busy and they seem to love working there. You can watch them prepping and cooking because the kitchen is mostly open. It's great for casual dining or you can dress it up and be a bit more fun formal with it. It's just cool and I love it.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, though we have previously dined at their other location in Clifton near Prince Victoria Street. The setting is lovely, but let’s talk about the food. Some dishes were visually stunning and packed with flavor, while others were just okay. We tried the Carbonara, which I personally loved, though some of my family members weren’t as keen on it. For starters, we had the arancini, which were absolutely delicious. As for dessert—oh my God—the tiramisu was hands down the best I’ve had. It’s a bit fluffier than usual, but I loved it. Definitely a must-try! We also had the Italian donuts, which were very enjoyable. Service was decent but could use some improvement. One issue was the delay in receiving our dessert—it took quite a while after we ordered, which isn’t ideal. Ideally, desserts should arrive within 7-10 minutes to keep the dining experience smooth. Overall, I’d definitely recommend visiting, and whatever you do, don’t skip the tiramisu!

Delicious food. I’ve been going to this place since 2016. Food is delicious. There was a period that the quality went down a little bit perhaps 2y ago but I have been recently back twice for dinner and lunch and we absolutely loved it again😊

Fantastic. Great food, service and ambience. Thanks Ella for being brilliant and authentic.

Pizza looked good, but it was mediocre. The tomato sauce was uncooked and had an acidic taste.

Come here every valentines, delicious food, the drinks are great and so is the atmosphere. I have never left boscos hungry, all portions are adequate and their desserts are top tier.

Incredible pizza base. Light n crispy and fluffy inside. Amazing salads! Had chicken Caesar and chicory salad, with the salami honey pizza. Absolutely delicious meal. Reasonably priced. Staff super friendly. Great service. The wood fired pizza oven gives a lovely cosy smell and feel to the place. Can’t wait to return!

Brilliant service, food and table. Thanks so much indeed!

Always very nice - and we’ve had takeaway pizza from here too. There is paid parking just outside and it’s just as nice for a quiet lunch as it is a romantic meal. Highly recommended.

It was busy on sunday and it took some time for the drinks to come. The waiter was very polite and the atmosphere is great. Thanks

Good food, the aracini and polpette starters were a particular highlight. Yummy. Pizza was good. Side order potatoes were pretty average. Service was average, they felt under-staffed sp we waited over an hour between courses. When we asked about the wine the waiter just said he didn't drink red wine and shrugged, so not super helpful, but we enjoyed the pinot nero we went for. Very uncomfortable seating, hard metal chairs which was not ideal. Overall though a pleasant evening and the food was good. I would recommend it but would potentially suggest not going on Saturday evening when it is very busy.

Lugar muy agradable, buen ambiente. gran comida que era muy agradable. Tuve la ensalada César - proporción muy generosa y muy sabroso. Tomé una jarra de montepulciano que era excepcional

Lovely.restaurant serving excellent food

Today I shared lunch at Bosco with friends from overseas . The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and welcoming, the menu and food was excellent and with an authentic touch. A shout out to Luke, he made a special occasion very special. His customer service was exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending Bosco Pizzeria! I look forward to a return visit Thsnk you to the team and of course Luke!!

What a place! Everything, every little detail make it sooo special: food, lights, smiles, drinks, music

Hoy compartí almuerzo en Bosco con amigos del extranjero. El ambiente es relajado, amable y acogedor, el menú y la comida era excelente y con un toque auténtico. Un saludo a Luke, hizo una ocasión especial muy especial. Su servicio al cliente fue excepcional. ¡No dudo en recomendar Bosco Pizzeria! Espero con interés una visita de regreso Gracias al equipo y por supuesto Luke!

Excelente experiencia esta tarde con una gran mesa de 17 para el cumpleaños de mi hija en la calle 21. La comida era excelente, especialmente las pizzas, y el servicio era eficiente, preciso y amable. Muy servicial, lo que nos permite poner globos en la mesa y traer un pastel de cumpleaños. Encantador ambiente bullicioso pero relajado. Muy recomendable.

Consistency is key and Bosco delivers every time. A very solid Italian that has amazing food and a great vibe within the restaurant. Personal favourite is the Bosco Carne but the Arancini balls is 👏🏻

We had great experience here.The pizza was exceptionally good, especially the amazing pizza base—it was just right. The stone fireplace added a cozy touch to the atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid spot for good pizza and a nice vibe.

Some of the best if not the best Neapolitan pizza in Bristol!

Always such an amazing atmosphere, no matter the day of the week. Incredible pizza every time, the Carciofi is definitely a favourite of mine. Also recommend the Hugo spritz and the fried artichoke starter!!

Delicious food, especially the doughnuts and good atmosphere however service was a bit slow for us.

Lovely works meal for xmas. Can't wait to go back

Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive as always.

Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and excellent service.

For me this one of the best restaurants in Bristol, consistently great food, well prepared, large and relaxing space, friendly staff and good wine selection.

I love Bosco. One of my favourite Bristol pizza's Their lunch deal is incredible, such good value

Great parmigiana, compliments to the chef! Excellent service

Discretionary service charge and now automatically adding charity donations on to the bill. When does this madness end? The service was average at best. No visit during my meal to ask for additional drinks, I had to go to the bar and request to pay my bill and also request a take away box to take home my remaining pizza. I’d ordinarily have sympathy but the place was about 10% full on a Friday afternoon with the staff having a good old chat behind the bar. I won’t be returning.

Simply the best pizza in Bristol. You can go around, debate and explore who has the best pizza, and then come back to Bosco to verify it’s the best. Reasonably priced also with good selection of wines and starters. Easily my top place when I want to eat good pizza. Highly recommended.

Strangely bad meal at Bosco on this occasion. Mid December lunch, serving waitress was rude, food was cold and not overly good. Usually Bosco is excellent but not on this occasion...

Great pizzeria! Ventricina (basically Diavola with a bit honey) is my favourite pizza, with very strong flavour of tomato. Every ingredient comes from Italy, and even the chilli oil is fantastic. Carbonara is also authentic (no bacon, no cream). Moreover, they have my favourite sweet wine in the world.

Friendly, warm, delightful service. Excellent pizza and aubergine parmigiana, good cocktails, what's there to fault?

Great place. Pizza was excellent. So fresh tasting and delicious. The staff were also amazing. When it came to lay the bill by credit card, I asked for them to increase the amount I would pay. This was to allow for a tip. The person taking the payment then pointed out that there was already a service charge on the bill. Usually, I would not be happy about the service charge but as the person pointed it out, it made all the difference. They didn’t have to say anything and could have taken the larger amount from me but didn’t.

Nice pizza but it took 1h40m to be cooked and delivered. I think maybe there’s a management breakdown with getting stuff done. Disappointed that there was no apology. Doubt I’ll order takeaway again.

The man greeting was extremely rude to us and the party behind us, our table wasn’t ready on time and somehow that’s our fault? He was absolutely vile, never seen someone in front of house talk like that to customers before. Food was okay, but will never ever return or recommend to anyone purely based on the staff in there. The waitress wasn’t great seemed like she was rushing us a lot of the time.

Front of house was extremely rude, can barely hear eachother and it’s pitch black in there so have fun trying to make sense of their menu. Will never return and will never recommend to anyone I actually like. We were there 5 minutes early and the absolute clown greeting people was extremely rude to us and the party that came in after us, didn’t get a name but he was wearing a white shirt so hopefully this is addressed.

Really bad pizza. The quality of this place has dropped a lot. You pay £5 for priority and it arrives after an hour and 45 minutes. Cold and burned

Friendly staff, great service. Good pizzas too.

I am sick of 'discretionary' service charges. You know the vast majority of people are too awkward to have it removed. Just pay your staff properly, or for all I care, put your prices up. I will always leave a tip for good service but not when I feel I am forced to. Ruined a lovely birthday meal

Originally we had made our reservation for 13:15, but the timing did not work due to unforeseen commitments later in the afternoon. I telephoned the restaurant a day-or-so before our visit, and changed our reservation to 12:15. This was to allow enough time to return home after lunch here, and prepare for the visit of my Son for a weekend stay. Enough time that is, to drive over to Chippenham, collect my Son and fit in a detour to visit a client near Devizes. With well-over two hours driving, by the time we arrived home, we would have otherwise struggled to fit everything-in within an acceptable timescale. So, this morning, we each took separate metrobuses to Bristol City Centre. My Partner had a mid-morning appointment in the centre of Bristol, whereas I travelled on a metrobus a couple of hours later. We met-up as arranged and then walked from the City Centre, up to Clifton via Park Street, and then along Whiteladies Road towards this lovely restaurant. We were a little early for our reservation, so we called in for provisions at a café-takeaway and a bakery. We arrived here, bang on 12:15, at our most favourite ‘local’ Italian restaurant. When I say ‘local’, I mean ‘in Bristol’; because the Italian restaurants in our home area are sadly not anywhere near the standard that we look for in ‘Cucina Italiana’. Our table was ready for us. Once again we were fortunate to have a window-side location; looking out on what was a pleasant sunny day. There were plenty of pedestrians to watch as they walked, ran and (occasionally) tottered past on the pavement. There were no surprises in our choice of fare; as our order was for the lunch-time deal, and again today our chosen wine was the ‘Grillo’. Today we had a glass each at the start of our meal; but with my late afternoon driving in mind, I wisely refrained from a refill; shame! Starters comprised of the ‘Arancini’ and the ‘Bruschetta Pomodoro’. We shared these between-us: which is easy because there are two Arancini per serving, and also two Bruschetta per serving. The Bruschetta was simple, but wonderful: beautifully finely-chopped sweet cherry tomatoes, olive oil and fresh basil. The Bruschetta is served on crusty toasted bread: so perfectly minimal. The Arancini is the perfect foil for the Bruschetta: a crispy outer shell combined with the soft risotto rice, and the molten taleggio cheese. This makes for supreme ‘comfort food’ when eaten on it's own; so sharing the two plates is even more joy. Mains of ’House Pizza’; a simple margherita style plat. Being perfectly cooked, in a traditional wood-fired pizza oven, the pizza was so soft and pliable. The crust was very slightly charred, and covered in lovely tomato paste, mozzarella, and fresh basil. Our food here was again wonderfully uncomplicated, and the better for it. One slightly adverse comment we did make was regarding the plates were stone cold. This means that as soon as the lovely hot pizza is plated-up it begins to rapidly cool (well more rapidly). This is alright if you eat quickly, but if you take the time to savour this fine food, the pizza becomes increasing cool and then quite cold. We did mention this to the staff and hope that our comments are taken seriously.

Went for a lunch on a recommendation and throughly enjoyed it. Made a reservation which turned out to be a good move. Service was friendly and relatively prompt. Pizza was outstanding. On par with authentic pizza I've had in Rome and Florence. Can't recommend it enough and price was reasonable as well. Definitely go

I would have given 5 stars had they got the dessert, zepoli. It's on the menu but twice I went especially for that and it wasn't available! 😤 Once cos they ran out and another time the fryer was broken 😔

The pizza was good ,better than some other places I have been to in Italy .I could not comment on service or atmosphere because it was a take away ( Pizzeria Bosco forgive me the one star for that ) .I would say that for a margherita pizza , it was good enough. In Naples we say if pizza Margherita is good : all pizzas must be good . Next time in Bristol we will book a table and try other pizzas and different foods .Well done !

Authentic and delicious and great value. Concrete building which magnifies sound was my only issue. The waiter did turn the volume down though and check back that it was ok.

Great atmosphere. Pizza was surprisingly really good. Will be coming back for sure.

Cam here on. Sunday dinner The starters were really good. But main course came super late took more than 40 minutes The pizza wasn’t the best The starters were very delicious

Really liked BOSCO, service was amazing and the pizza was delicious.

Beautiful place, incredible pizza and fried squid was very good

Had my birthday here this week and couldn’t recommend enough, atmosphere was lovely and romantic, pretty dark though for people who struggle sight wise! But food was delicious and came quickly, I was served by a waitress called Grace who was friendly and helpful and made my birthday dinner perfect! If you like pizza this is your place.

Delicious food, friendly staff and great vibe about the place. Highly recommend

"Does what is says on the tin". Decent pizza from a wood fired oven. Nice pasta. Not much else to say. Would I go again? Yes I would.

Delicious food. Great service. Harvey and Luke were excellent servers who were so friendly, attentive and sweet. Harvey kindly moved our party to a booth when I explained that my older parents couldn’t sit at a raised table for a long period of time. Will def be coming back. Thank you.

Lo siento, no hay fotos, pero gran servicio y menú encantador. Entradas compartidas de alcachofa , carnes & aranchi sublime! Me encantó el vodka rigatoni. Buenos precios y fabulosa carta de vinos. No es local pero vendrá de nuevo cuando esté en Bristol.

Amazing place, will be regular guest now 😍

one of the best pizzas I have tried in Bristol

Best pizza I've had in ages - lovely tasty ingredients and a nice crispy base. The crust is sublime dipped in their garlic mayo. The staff were really lovely as well, accommodating to a fussy child not wanting basil on their pizza, and pepper on their garlic mayo! It was a busy Friday lunch service during half term and the team was clearly run off their feet, but they were unfailingly polite and charming to every customer (we were by the door so I saw them interact with every single person who walked in). Overall, really impressed and am definitely planning on returning. Warning - it gets busy and they have tall tables, which are great for adults but don't accommodate families with small kids. Best to book a table if you know you are going.

Habían pasado unas buenas seis semanas desde nuestra última visita a este, nuestro restaurante italiano favorito (bueno, sin duda nuestro favorito en cualquier lugar cerca - para nosotros) . Habían sido seis semanas ajetreadas, con un recorrido por el Valle del Loira, además de un pesado trabajo -carga en la que ponerse al día-, después de regresar a casa. Encontramos que disfrutamos de nuestras comidas a la hora del almuerzo, mucho más cuando podemos tomar una copa de vino. Por lo tanto, si conducimos hasta aquí, uno de nosotros no disfrutará de la ocasión tanto. Por lo tanto, tomamos el servicio de metrobús al centro de la ciudad, dar un paseo por parte de (o la totalidad de) la orilla del puerto, y luego subir - hasta Clifton para lo que entonces es un almuerzo bien ganado. A pesar de nuestra creencia de que no existe el ‘mal tiempo’ (solo ‘mala ropa’), el clima afecta la frecuencia de nuestras visitas aquí. Caminar bajo la lluvia no es algo que vayamos a hacer por elección, pero hoy el clima fue genial. Es cierto que había una brisa fría, pero hacía sol, sin señales de lluvia: así que solo capas hechas para buena ropa en esta ocasión. Habíamos hecho una reserva y echamos - aquí unos cinco minutos antes. Eso no fue un problema y nos mostraron rápidamente a nuestra ventana - mesa auxiliar. No recuerdo haber solicitado esta preferencia de asientos al hacer nuestra reserva en línea. Nos gustaría sentir que nuestras preferencias anteriores (estar sentados junto a la ventana) habían sido tomadas en cuenta por el personal aquí. De todos modos, nuestro agradecimiento va a “quien sea”, por nuestra ubicación de mesa; ya que esto nos permitió participar en un pasatiempo favorito: la gente - mirando. En Clifton se puede observar una increíble variedad de gente “colorida”. Nuestro pedido era para el almuerzo - trato de tiempo, y de nuevo nuestro vino elegido fue el Grillo. Descubrimos este vino por nosotros mismos a principios de este año durante las vacaciones en Sicilia. Es un vino seco muy agradable, con una acidez brillante, y notas de fruta tropical. Casi todas las uvas Grillo se cultivan en Italia, y es la principal uva cultivada en Sicilia, porque prospera en climas cálidos severos. Hoy hemos tomado un vaso cada uno al principio de nuestra comida, y también me coló otro en mi cinturón más tarde durante nuestra comida (mi pareja se abstuvo de un segundo). Arranques compuestos por los «Arancini» y los «Bruschetta Pomodoro». Compartimos esto entre nosotros: lo cual es fácil porque hay dos Arancini por porción, y también dos Bruschetta por porción. La Bruschetta es simple, pero maravillosa: bellamente finamente picado - tomates dulces de cereza, aceite de oliva y albahaca fresca. La Bruschetta se sirve sobre pan tostado crujiente: así de sencillo. El Arancini es la lámina perfecta para la Bruschetta: una cubierta exterior crujiente combinada con el arroz risotto suave y el queso taleggio fundido. Esto hace que la ‘comida reconfortante’ suprema cuando se come sola; por lo que compartir los dos platos es aún más alegría. Nosotros notamos que el tamaño de la placa de bruschetta se había reducido; sigue siendo una gran tarifa, solo que menos. Mains de ’House Pizza’; un plato sencillo estilo margherita. Al estar perfectamente cocinada, en un horno de pizza tradicional de leña, la pizza era tan suave y flexible. Estaba muy ligeramente carbonizado, y cubierto de pasta de tomate encantadora, mozzarella y albahaca fresca. Es tan maravillosamente sencillo, y mejor para ello. Lucho con el concepto de pizzas muy cargadas con múltiples carnes y / o enormes cantidades de queso y / o verduras. Después -toda pizza era pobre- la comida del hombre, desarrollada a partir de panes planos sin levadura. La gran variedad de ingredientes disponibles hoy en día han hecho que algunas pizzas “calle - comida” sean muy poco saludables. En casa compartimos una pizza estilo Margherita de 12 “4 - 5 veces al mes, y limitamos los ingredientes adicionales a dos variedades de carne, y / o hongos. Rara vez tomamos el postre aquí, ya que los dos - la comida por supuesto es bastante llena, pero hoy pedí una Panna Cotta. Este es un postre favorito porque me encanta la textura. Me entristece decir que el que está aquí hoy no fue el que esperaba. El sabor a vainilla era perfecto; ¡no había esencias de atajo utilizadas aquí! La textura, sin embargo, no era la correcta; muy poca gelatina. Entonces, mi cuchara estaba bien – recubierta por ambos lados, el ‘balanceo’ faltaba, y no era sedoso – liso. Acertar con la medida de gelatina es un desafío; he experimentado Panna Cotta que podría rebotar en las paredes, y en el otro extremo de la escala, algunos que casi se podrían verter. Éste de hoy estaba cerca, pero no era lo que esperaba aquí. El servicio fue excelente a pesar de que el restaurante estaba muy ocupado. Vimos personal nuevo aquí y nos complace decir que eran tan atentos y extrovertidos como el personal al que nos hemos acostumbrado.

Amazing pizzas, good vibes and the lemon doughnuts for dessert were fantastic to follow on.

Fab pizza restaurant with mega friendly staff and amazing food.

Amazing atmosphere and delicious pizza! The service was great, with friendly staff who were happy to recommend the perfect wine pairing for each pizza. Orders were prepared quickly, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Spacious restaurant with fast and friendly service. The pizzas are really good and pasta is tasty, without being extraordinary. The Caesar salad was disappointing despite the quality ingredients. The burrata with anchovies nothing special.

One of the best Italian meals we’ve had outside of Italy. Stunning.

Amazingly friendly staff. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Went in at lunch before going to the cinema. Lovely visit to Bosco, would recommend.

What a beautiful experience! Loved the ambiance, stylish. As a vegetarian was happy to find many options, if you don't want pizza, there're salads and other sides which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend

This is my favourite pizzeria in Bristol! We always choose Bosco for not only the amazing food but for the service. Last time I went there I asked for a pizza that wasn’t on the menu anymore but the chef made one special for me!! Luke was super helpful 🫶🏼🫶🏼 100% recommend Bosco

Second visit to Bosco’s, lovely staff and good food. I like a buzzy atmosphere and this is no criticism of Bosco’s in any way but I have one word of advice to potential clients. Avoid Sunday afternoon / early evening : Reason is there seems to be masses of children with their parents, and at several tables there seemed to be a screaming contest in operation. This made conversation rather difficult for the two couples who had met up for a pre theatre meal. Ah ! You will say a miserable old guy speaks. I’m a Dad and Grandad and love kids but the decibel level was pretty grim. Now the positives, really good pizzas, my calamari starter was great followed by Tuscan stew with added meatballs, the other 3 members of the group also enjoyed I noticed belatedly that at the rear of the restaurant there were tables in booths, on our next visit we will request one.

Good reliable quality pizza in a busy bustling space.

Now the Carciofi was so good that I will have to come back and try evry single pizza and the pasta on the menu. Brilliant service, brilliant atmosphere and absolutely stunning food. I might trow in a desrt on every second pizza to see if they live up to the standard.

Today this woeful summer, produced a rare sunny and warm day, with a slight cooling breeze; ideal conditions for walking. With our home being in a northeastern suburb of Bristol, with an excellent metrobus service to Bristol’s city centre available, we regularly visit what is my home-town. We find the pull of Bristol’s delights almost irresistible on such days. The 30-minute metrobus journey operates every 20 minutes from a nearby bus-stop, and with a round-trip costing £3.80, we often say “Why not?” My Son was with us; on his last day of a week’s leave and staying with us for a couple of nights. The plan was to have a walk-around the lovely Bristol Harbourside, and then travel uphill to Clifton (my place of birth), to take lunch here at this wonderful Italian restaurant. Due to heavy traffic congestion, causing a 45-minute delay to the metrobus service, we all-but abandoned our planned harbourside walk; heading straight up to Clifton. We had made a reservation here, but we were a little early; that however was not a problem. We were able to immediately take to our table (with views out of the fully glazed front) in the main dining room. The restaurant was moderately busy during our 90-minute stay, with about 20 covers in total. My Son was easily persuaded to try the lovely Sicilian Grillo white wine, so we ordered three glasses. This is a really superbly dry, fruity and complex wine. We had all decided that the (weekday) lunch-time meal-deal was a great option. On visits here we invariably have a starter of (two) arancini plus a starter of (two) bruschetta, which my Partner and I then share. My Son likes bruschetta, but had never tried arancini. So, I asked our very helpful waitress if we could have three bruschetta plus three arancini: and that was not a problem. This allowed us all to have a mixed bruschetta and arancini starter. These fabulous starters were as great as they always are. My Son really enjoyed his first taste of arancini; well what’s there not to like! Mains were an easy choice; being the wonderful and simple 12-inch wood-fired tomato, cheese and basil ‘house’ pizza. Glorious textures and tastes: and every morsel was cleared from all of our plates. The origins of this Italian pizza lie in what was once a simple meal eaten as ‘poor-man’s food’. This ‘Margharita’ pizza has (green) basil leaves, (white) mozzarella cheese and (red) tomatoes echoing the Italian tricolour flag. A truly poetical-plate. IMHO ‘loaded’ pizzas sold in many chain restaurants has strayed too far from pizza’s origins and has become far-less appealing. Desserts: for my Son “Chocolate Gelato” (credited to ‘Swoon’), and for myself a “Cannoli”. Both thoroughly enjoyed, and bringing our visit here to a close; apart from finishing-off our wine (the second glass for my Partner and myself). The total bill for this wonderful meal and the equally wonderful service and ambience, was a tad over £30 a head; worth every penny.

Felt like we were back home in Italy with a peril and Hugo spritz’s, eye watering pasta and napolitan style pizzas, fun evening

Absolutely lovely 🥰 weary adventuring friends trying to get a NON CHAIN, meal in Clifton - tried everywhere, Bosco was fully booked but managed to squeeze us in! Thank you so much 😊

Bosco has always been great, and our recent visit exceeded expectations. Really busy restaurant, efficient service and food were amazing. Especially the burrata.

Had an absolutely delicious meal for my brothers birthday! The food and atmosphere was incredible along with the music but the service from Ed was the cherry on top, kind and caring service and clearly knows the restaurant, menu and drinks menu off by heart, such a lovely afternoon and highly recommended, thank you Ed!

Just had a very disappointing meal. My partner had the mushroom pizza, it was cold and tasteless. I had sea bass but they only had salad which was bland and I left hungry. Wine was excellent however it was not a good experience and we won't be returning.

The experience in the other bosco Restaurant was better. My Pizza was slightly burned on the bottom. The carbonara was Tasty but Small.

Amazing place! Pizza is delicious. Good lightning, cocktails are quite good

Had a great birthday meal at Bosco! Great place, unreal pizza. Served by Ed, very charming guy, had some great recommendations of food and cocktails!

I sat at the bar, the chef was very friendly and the pizza was excellent.

Delicious pizzas, nice service with a good atmosphere.

Last night we had a round table for 7 people and ordered a mix of arancini, pizza, pasta and salad, washed down with a couple of bottles of house red. The food was excellent, the service also could not be faulted. Our only criticism was that we needed our phone torches to read the menu! More 4.5/5 I would say. Thank you for a lovely evening.

All ingredients at Bosco Pizzeria are shipped from Italy, including wine. So it has one of our favorite sweet white wines, Dindarello Maculan. They don't have many pizza choices, but the ventricina is good enough. In addition, their chill oil is very fragrant, dark green, with the aroma of roasted chili sauce, and spicy taste. ventricina has a spicy salami grilled until slightly crispy, a slightly sweet tomato sauce, and mellow cheese, which has an endless aftertaste; Bosco Carne is a red base pizza with Parma ham and cheese, which is salty and delicious; Amatriciana is a slightly spicy red base pizza Pizza, perfect for those who like spicy food; Among spaghetti, I have only tried Carbonara, which is a perfect combination of Guanciale (a kind of bacon), egg yolk (mayonnaise) and Parmesan cheese. It is an authentic Italian ingredient and method. Desserts are very traditional, Affogato, espresso and vanilla ice cream balls, the combination of sweetness and bitterness, refreshing after the meal.

Amazing food, and good lunch menu

Best pizza in Bristol. Faultless. Service incredible.

Fantastic pizza, word on the street is that it's the best in Bristol...

Great service and food, this was our first visit but won't be our last! Our group all had pizza, a different one each, and they were all good. Great starters and sides too - can recommend the bruschetta, roasted potatoes and rocket salad! Really popular when we visited on a Thursday evening so worth booking a table.

Really friendly atmosphere. Slightly limited menu offering especially for the lunch deal and under seasoned food but overall a good lunch.
