Bosco Pizzeria in Bristol, City of

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

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.

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

Incredible pizza base. Light n crispy and fluffy inside. The wood fired pizza oven gives a lovely cosy smell and feel to the place.

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.

Friendly welcome, great pizza, service solid throughout. Keep it up!

Real quality pizza which stands out in a very competitive market in Bristol, but what really made it was just how accommodating and friendly the staff were to the two young children we had with us! Not many places can achieve being family friendly but also feel high end.

Great atmosphere and food in a very comfortable setting, lunch menu is very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning!

We stopped here spontaneously just to get off the motorway for a bit. I have an irritating allergy and the staff were fantastic, they made a lot of effort to create a pizza that I could eat and were happy to do so. The staff were fabulous, highly recommended !!

Coming from NY City we take our Italian Food seriously. Your food, wines, decor, service and buzz are consistently right up there. A real treat. Keep it up. Thank you.

Our favourite restaurant in Bristol! Family friendly, great service, great food. Perfect.

Very nice food and atmosphere. Brilliant calamari, pizza, and amazing Tiramisu. The service could be more active and coming to check if you want to order more drinks. We will be back!

Absolutely stunning, yummy pizza and options for everyone! Courgette fritti 10/10 ☺️

Great place, delicious pizza, friendly service. I’d definitely recommend this place as open kitchen means you can watch your food being prepared.

Great wood fire pizza and cocktail. Love the hanger steak too

Went here for a family meal and it was fantastic. We were early but still shown our table; food was wonderful and our waitress was very friendly. Thanks for a lovely meal 😃

Just returned from Italy…. The pizzas here are better than in Italy !! We had 2 Fresca pizzas with Parma ham perfecto , Parma ham to start a very generous portion . Well done and keep those standards.

The best pizza outside of naples

This was our first visit to Bosco Pizzeria and we were really impressed with everything about it: excellent food, made with care and capturing amazing flavours; very attentive and informative staff and a lovely ambience. Thank you to all at this highly recommended restaurant.

Really nice place. Super tasty food and great service

can’t recommend this place enough! great food and even greater staff! 10/10 thanks for the best evening

This place was recommended by so many people. Honestly, it's okay. Not great. There are other pizza places in bristol which I liked better. Thanks!

Great artisan pizza. I left feeling that I should have ordered more , great service too and the restaurant is designed beautifully. It's cosy and relaxing. I would certainly come back again for pizza.

Bosco pizza is always amazing, the flavours are incredible and we always enjoy our experience here. That staff are welcoming and friendly.

Our Boscos experience was well worth it. You have to book in advance as it is busy and the seats are always filled. The staff are very attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic, my wife said it was the best carbonara she's ever had! I had a pizza and it was fantastic. On the booking they ask if there are any special occasions, which there was, it was my birthday. However, I didn't get any acknowledgement of that throughout the meal. But aside from that it was a fantastic dinner out.

We had take out pizza which was delicious and efficient taking only a few minutes before it was cooked by their wood fired pizza oven. The restraint was lively when we picked it up.

Beyond pizza, the menu offers a range of appetizers, salads, and desserts that complement the main dishes.

Great Pizzeria, lovely food and friendly staff, will definitely be back

Outstanding! Great vibes in this place, has an art deco look. Food was as excellent, meal and salami pizzas both of which large. Courgette salad was very tasty too. Will return.

We ate here at their soft relaunch on a Saturday afternoon. The food was amazing and service great even though it was busy. One small piece of feedback was that we felt the music was just a touch too loud, we couldn't speak to each other properly, but everything else was great.

Great food and service. Was my girlfriend’s birthday and they gave her a free desert. Very accomodating and friendly.

Had visited many times in the past and loved it - returned for a Saturday lunch but service seemed to break down, maybe lost our order, food took an hour to arrive but restaurant was only 20% full. Food not quite as good as what we remembered. Maybe just a bad day - hope so as was always a favourite when visiting Bristol.

Delicious pizzas, great atmosphere and service.

Bosco Pizzeria is without doubt one of the best restaurant spots in Bristol. Across all food types! We bring all our guests who stay with us in Bristol to this place and everyone rightly raves about it. Last night we sat on the countertop and it was a super interactive experience. Shout out to one of the chefs Jason who took the time who talk us through some of the dishes despite servicing a stacked dinner service. We were super grateful!! Will be back very soon.

Amazing food, service and attention to detail. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Expensive for pizzas with gummy dough,great staff though.

Decent pizza,gummy dough at the ring for one more time,they need to improve their consistency .

Great place, food was amazing, we sat at the counter and it was just perfect 👌 great cocktails and attentive staff! Zucchini Fries are a must!

Amazing service and atmosphere, food was really nice! However, the Aglio was very salty neither me nor my partner could eat it. But the food was reasonably priced and our server was brilliant so would definitely visit again

Good food but a bit too noisy for me!

The best pizza place in Bristol for me so far! All dishes were delicious. I highly recommend booking in advance to ensure a table. Will definitely come back.

I ordered from Bosco on uber eats and there was an issue with the app and my order was cancelled. I phoned up the restaurant and spoke with Saskia and she was absolutely lovely and sorted the issue out with urgency and care. You can tell this is a place where they really care about their customers and we will continue to support them!

We had a really nice experience here. The pizzas were very tasty and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Amazing place and service. Food was fabulous.

Excellent service and delicious food

Pizza dough is delicious and high quality ingredients, but this may be the only place in Bristol with almost no vegan options- no vegan mozzarella, no dietary choices indicated on the menu, limited overall selection. In 2024 they could do much better! It didn’t feel friendly from this point of view.

We visited on a lunchtime for my birthday. It was our second visit and on both occasions we were treated by a beautifully light tasty pizza, attentive staff and a good selection of food and wine (something for everyone). Highly recommended and good value for money. Revisited today for lunch Still the best pizza in town Cannot recommend highly enough 29/03/24 still fantastic

Great lunch starter main desert or coffee deal 17 quid Could be double and still be a bargain Feels like proper pizza made in open oven Great staff nice seating arrangements Good atmosphere nice lighting Had starters which I had never had before and desert can’t remember their names though But will be on the lunchtime menu Not loads of choice on it but doesn’t have to be Excellent quality and presentation Tried to blag a free coffee of one of not so good at english waiters but another one stuck up for him and had to go thirsty Never mind see you there next year

Genuine 5* experience. Staff second to none, Lisa (I think) was class. Pizza, Mussels, Arancini and Lasagne all top notch. Would be going here regularly if I lived in Bristol

Wasn't blown away, have had better food here previously. Found my calamari to be a bit chewy and not crisped up that much, and my pizza base was so thin it was barely there. The sausage on my pizza wasn't as expected, very pink and processed looking, but not claiming to be a sausage expert. Arancini was excellent though, highly recommend.

Highly recommended for great pizzas and great atmosphere.

Best pizza in bristol it’s not even up for debate. The vibes are immaculate.

Delicious food, cosy vibe and friendly staff! Great Italian to have in the area, we’ve tried most bits from the menu and it’s all delicious. Staff are always friendly and welcoming 🤙 Definitely recommend this spot!

We are regular customers, we used to come every weekend with our kids. This time we were not very well welcomed and placed on the counter with a freezing air coming from the kitchen, which was not very comfortable . Having seen two tables available (10-15 min) we asked to be moved to one of these but were told No. I am so sad about this strict No and that we had an awful experience!

Came here for a complimentary meal following a larger gathering at the cheltenham Bosco, and was blown away by the difference in food, hospitality and general atmosphere of the place. Luke our server oversaw every aspect of our experience and couldn't have been better. Finally understood the raving reviews about the pizza, flavoursome dough and tasty toppings. Highly recommend. Went on a Friday night too

One of the best pizza places in Bristol. The food was incredible. Service was great. Excellent all round

Best Pizza in Bristol and its not even close.

The food is exceptional, from the simple but high quality salad, to the excellent arancini, to the next level pizza. Consistently high standard

One of the best restaurants in Bristol! The food is unreal - fresh, full of flavour and using high quality ingredients - which you can see for yourself as it’s prepared in their beautiful open kitchen. The food at Bosco is on the same level (if not better) than some of the top Italian restaurants in the city but at a far more reasonable price. The atmosphere is lovely, decor sophisticated, service was fantastic and much quicker than we expected considering that the restaurant was full (on a Monday night, which speaks for itself.) We’re converted and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Great place. Good service. Beautiful food.

I never leave reviews but think this is important for people to know. I went for lunch with a work colleague, had a pizza and it gave me food poisoning. I’m not sure if it was the undercooked dough or the cheese but I was unwell all night. Definitely won’t be going back.

It was a good pizza, and they had plenty of garlic dip and different olive oils.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and the service was exceptional. Thankyou

Their pizza is the main reason to go there. It is good for real, but it's not good enough to justify the bill.

Fabulous beef and Parmesan salad. Lighting just a little too low for me

Went here for Christmas with a large group of friends, excellent service and the amount of food you get for the price was insane! We had so much food left we asked to take it home but there was so much we couldn’t even carry it.

Good food....good cheerful service

Amazing food and service. Cannot recommend enough

Cracking arancini, great pizza and good service. I also ordered the cannoli but there was only one connolo. It was delicious but slightly disappointing.

Filippo is such a lovely dude. I casually mentioned it was my birthday and at the end of the meal he unespectedly brought us a little scoop of ice cream with a candle on it. Really wholesome and heartwarming ❤️

Food was delicious and I enjoyed the atmosphere here. My favourite tonight was the Funghi pizza 🤤
