About Bosco Pizzeria

On Whiteladies Rd in Bristol, Bosco Pizzeria is an Italian restaurant that opens daily at number 96. Pizzas are stone baked, and the buffalo mozzarella pizza gives diners a choice built around that cheese. The kitchen is open-ish, so guests can watch plates go out to other tables before their own arrive. Arancini come as a starter, and pasta dishes sit alongside the pizzas for those who want something other than a base. Tiramisu is on the pudding list, and a wine selection and drinks list round out the table.

Customer Review Summary

Pizza draws the most praise, especially the stone baked pizzas. Reviewers single out the buffalo pizza for its authentic dough and fresh buffalo mozzarella, and one diner ordered the mushroom pizza twice despite not usually liking mushroom. Close behind are the pork cotoletta alla milanese served with pasta, the wine and drinks, and the arancini starter. Many describe a lovely, vibrant atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff, and both a solo diner and a group of friends say they were looked after. Puddings also get mentions, with one reviewer calling the tiramisu a must. The criticism is about consistency. One reviewer received a buffalo pizza with very little cheese that came out extremely burnt and inedible, while another waited ages for service, never received a requested glass of wine, and suspected takeaway orders were being prioritised over the dining room. Regulars say they have never been disappointed, and one likes a squeeze of lemon over the arancini.

    “The service was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Our waitress was so friendly, attentive and welcoming, and she really made the experience enjoyable, so a huge shoutout to her! Unfortunately, the food was a real disappointment. I ordered the buffalo pizza, which had very little cheese and came out extremely burnt. It was unfortunately inedible. I had such high hopes for this place based on what I’d heard, but sadly the food didn’t live up to my expectations. I don’t like leaving negative reviews, especially when the service was so fantastic, but I feel this honestly reflects my experience. I really hope this was just an off day because the staff certainly deserve the praise.attentive and welcoming, and she really made the experience enjoyable, so a huge shoutout to her!”

    “G was an incredible host who catered to us excellently - the food was delicious and the atmosphere superb. It was really busy and vibrant and is definitely a contender for the best Italian in Bristol!”

    “Food was incredible as always! Pizza’s made fresh and so tasty! Puddings were incredible too! Tiramisu is a must if you go!”
  • Huseyin Demir
    “Hands down the best pizza I have had in Bristol. I am not usually a fan of mushroom pizza, but theirs was so good that I actually ordered it a second time. The pasta is great too. The vibe inside is really nice. I have visited a few times and tried almost all the stone baked pizzas, and every single one was amazing. Drinks are spot on as well. You definitely need to try the arancini for a starter. I like adding a little squeeze of lemon on top, but it is delicious either way. The staff are always super friendly and polite. If you are ever around Clifton in Bristol, you really should check this place out.”

    “​We had a fantastic dining experience at Bosco on Whiteladies Road! If you are looking for genuine Italian flavors in a great setting, this is the place to go. The buffalo pizza was absolutely flawless, featuring the perfect, authentic texture and taste in the dough, balanced beautifully with high-quality tomato sauce and fresh buffalo mozzarella. The pork cotoletta alla milanese was equally scrumptious—perfectly golden and crisp—and it came served alongside a delicious pasta that complemented it beautifully. Beyond the incredible food, the restaurant has a lovely, welcoming environment, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We normally go often, never being disappointed, we will definitely be back and highly recommend it!”
