What a fabulous evening. Great venue, good food served by extremely pleasant and efficient staff. But the best was being entertained Elton John style by the brilliant Jonathan Roxmouth. A very memorable night.

I cannot stay away from this place. Lots of people mention the lovely atmosphere and great wines, but Im teetotal and ambivalent to atmosphere. To entertain me, one thing is needed: Good food. Bosco delivers magnificently. I keep coming back for the superb quality, texture and absolute paradise of flavours. I hope it never changes!

We have been to Boscos a few times now and each time has just been incredible. The food is Devine. Its a true Italian experience in the heart of Sunninghill. The atmosphere is incredible and the staff so friendly. Its worth following them on their Facebook page to find out about all their events. They host Gin tastings, music evenings with renowned artists and theater performers. Its a must!! Their wood oven Pizza and Pasta dishes are to die for. With a wide selection they have some thing for everyone.

A rare gem in the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg, this Italian restaurant is easily one of the most memorable. The proprietor lived in Italy for years and expresses the love and passion for Italian food in this establishment. Music, good wine, good food and friendly personal service!

Food was tasty, service was however a little slow...strange that they had no tomato sauce for our younger diner. Tiramisu for dessert was disappointing. Starter was by far the best.

Super good food. Simple and traditional. Exactly what is missing in the northern suburb scene. Not a chain. Or a franchise. Or overpriced instafood.Pure, honest food.Ill have seconds please!

Review №23

Both me and my partners pasta dishes were so bad. The raviolli was chewy, the meat inside was dry,the prawns overcooked and the peas powdery. The atmosphere wasnt great and the service slow and lacking. We had to ask for items to be removed from the table and the waitress never came to check on us or bothered to ask if everything was fine when she came to clear our almost full plates from the table.

Took my girlfriend for a romantic lunch date. Great ambience, quiet, good service. Slightly overpriced pizza for the quality but the lasagna was a winner and wine was fantastic. Manager on the ball. Little gem, would recommend.

Fantastic restaurant. They happily made us a half-half pizza, and when the owner saw my dog in the car, she insisted that it came in! Even brought out some water for the pup :-) Food was very tasty, and staff very friendly.

Ca
Review №44

High prices for poor quality food! I could get a better pizza at a fast food place, and to charge over R100 on all pizzas, youd expect some great pizza. The pizza base is definitely frozen and not made fresh, poor quality. The staff are friendly, but no manager in sight! I asked to speak to the manager and they were not around. If no one is guiding this ship, it will sink

The service was great, except for the fact that it was so packed that we had to wait for someone to leave so that we could get a table. The starter was fantastic and the oxtail satisfied my taste buds and my belly. I will definitely go back for more.

Amazing atmosphere with a large number of the patrons clearly being returning customers. Hanlee (the owner) and her crew are friendly and freely share a very scarce resource- personal attention! We attended the music night with 6 of the most amazing artists (including Hanlee) entertaining us with world class performances. We will be back...regularly...

Review №58

Excessively expensive for the poor quality of the food you get here. Between the starters and 2 main course meals we ordered, we only slightly liked one item. Also, the pricing model is excessively high. R27 for a 200ml of tab is an example of this.I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Hanlee the owner is an opera singer, some evenings they do food and wine evenings and some evenings are musical evenings where Hanlee sing a few songs so enjoyable... The food is fresh and tasty, wine selection is well curated and staff friendly. Little cozy restaurant you can definitely try them. Enquire about the wine or musical evenings as well if you like that.
