Bosco Pizzeria Whiteladies

My go-to when I'm in Bristol. I go out of my way to go to Bosco when I'm in town- great service and delicious food. Bosco Negronis are an absolute winner. Solid wine list too, including a dessert wine which is just how I love to finish a meal- although my partner had the tiramisu which I gleefully nabbed a spoonful of.

A great experience at Bosco! I've only been to the Bosco in Clifton a few years ago before but heard great things since. I ordered the bruschetta with nduja and straciatelli (I think)? It was good, but the cheese a bit too plain for my liking I think. Not their fault. For my main, I got the pork Milanese. It was on the large plates menu, but I really fancied it! It was amazing!! Pasta sauce perfectly seasoned, fried pork on the side was freshly fried, nicely seasoned and you could add lemon which definitely elevated the flavour. That dish on its own was a 10/10. My partner got a carbonara, which he is picky about, and he said it was too cooked for his liking, and that the egg had started to scramble. However, another member of our party got the same dish and loved it. So, I think the dish depends on how high your carbonara standards are. The waiters were lovely. Service for our cocktails after dinner was a little bit slow, it was busy and they had a queue of cocktails, that can be forgiven. Overall, I'd highly recommend. A great place for a celebratory meal with family or friends. Thanks for a great night!

One of my favourite pizzerias in Bristol. Deliciously charred crusts that add a slight depth of sweetness to the pizzas. Speaking of which, I recommend the Ventricina, with its savoury/sweet combo of salami, chilli oil and honey!

Pizzas looked good but where just ok. Hoping it was an off night but both were very soggy in the middle. We were very pleased to see they were busy and doing well but with the acoustics in the restaurant it’s very loud and we were struggling to hear each other. Service was quick but felt rushed and impersonal.

Book a table if you are dining in the evening, as it gets very busy! The menu is mostly pizza, with a few pasta , salad and meat dishes to choose from. The drinks menu is mostly wine, with maybe 4 cocktails. The food was excellent! Pizza was cooked perfectly, the dough was thin and the crusts thick and crispy! I would recommend the zeppole for dessert (donuts served with a lemon and a creamy sauce to dip) - I would go back just for these!!! We sat at the open kitchen and it was really entertaining watching the staff prepare the dishes. Our wait time for the pizza was probably almost an hour, although we did arrive shortly after some large groups and watching the kitchen cooking we did not mind. Tip: definitely ask for a table at the open kitchen!
