Boscos Restaurant Bar - Amsterdam

Great local restaurant, I am out here for business and like trying local places. Do not expect fancy dining. This is just good local/pizza/Italian food. The staff is attentive and work hard. I sat and the bar and ordered 'to go '. Talked with a few people while waiting. The bar and restaurant were busy and that is good to see.

Super embarrassing experience where we brought some family in from 3000 miles away to have good Italian American food and were treated rudely and given sub par food as well. First, we apparently came in with too many people and were told we needed a reservation. We waited about 5 minutes and were told they fit us. It would 've probably have been better if they had just told us to leave because they were too busy and we would 've gone elsewhere. We sat in the entirely empty overflow dining room for 1.5 hours until my toddler eventually completely melted down because she was so hungry which has never happened before in Amsterdam. Read: never. The waitress didn 't come around much to fill our drinks which was a shame. I was just about to take her home when our calzones arrived. My calzone was ... fine. But my one of my in law 's calzones was basically just mozzarella and inedible to her. No one was really impressed. Everyone including another couple who had sung the praises of Bosco 's was really put off. Anyway, I don 't think I 'll be going back anytime soon, and I 'm still really annoyed. Bosco 's does realize that we are paying them to come into their restaurant and not the other way around, right?

Excellent food, nice people. A real hidden gem. Highly recommended. Place is a diamond in the rough.

I am back in NY hometown visiting and I wanted my first meal back to be at Boscos. My family and I order the Jalapeño poppers, mushroom poppers, and broccoli poppers as our appetizers. They were piping hot and delicious! For my meal I ordered one of their calzones which I am able to have two more meals out of due to their generous portion. The atmosphere in the dining area is family friendly which is a feeling that you get from the staff. If you are passing through Amsterdam I highly recommend that you stop have a meal!

Only had someone's left over sausage, Ricotta Mozzarella cheeses calzone!!!!!! Omg...seriously the best overall calzone I've ever eaten! My wife I will absolutely be visiting Bosco's very soon to see what else they can amaze me with!! Great Job Bosco's!!!
