Lasagna that tastes like someone's nonna made it. Divine lemon cake. Friendly, neighborhood place.

Great chicken parm and outstanding anti pasta salad. Salad was god for three serving for two persons.

A quaint, out-of-the-way hidden gem! Amazing service with friendly, fun staff. The pasta fagioli was delicious, and the portions are incredibly generous--easily enough for multiple meals. Prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be returning. Thank you! read more

always great food fantastic I love the calzones Great service and take out try it. You will be happy you did

You'll never find this place unless you go really looking for it. Go to the rough neighborhood and if the area keeps getting rougher, you're going in the right direction. Once you find it, don't let the outside scare you away. Friendly folks await within, and IMO the BEST Calzones in the valley. There's a lot of really good places in Amsterdam, but this is our favorite. Don't miss it. read more

Almost let the outside of the place chase is away..... boy would that have been a big mistake. As soon as you walk in, there is a bar. The bar was filled with locals however, most were friendly and said hello as we walked past. The seating area is small, but quaint. You felt like you were at your old uncle Nino's house. The Wait staff were friendly and courteous, but more importantly, the food was fantastic. Coming from an Italian girl who makes her own sauce, their sauce was a work of art! My highly recommend that if you're in Amsterdam that you've popped in for a taste. read more

Boscos is my family's go to restaurant for calzones and eggplant parmesan. You can't go wrong! A true gem for Amsterdam NY! Whether it's for pick up or dine in, the food is always 5 stars. A++ The restaurant is what I consider, a pillar, of the Amsterdam community. They give you delicious food, excellent service, and humongous portions! If you're ever around the area, and you have only one option, get their pepperoni calzone with riccota cheese. You will absolutely love it. My father and I have eaten here countless times, and it's always been a pleasure. The restaurant may not look all that visually appealing, on the outside or the inside. But the people at Boscos, have their priorities straight. They focus on the quality of their food, and it's always amazing. read more

Food is always delicious at this place. Pizza is my favorite thing to get from here and also the wings. I will say that the service was slow and not necessarily the best. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Amazing food ,had chicken parm was a huge order ,waitress was very attentive and they where busy ,

When you go to an Italian restaurant for the first time you should order . . . spaghetti and meatballs. And if it is not one of the best things you have ever eaten, you should pay the check but leave never to return. Tonight we went to Bosco's. Wow, simply wow. Their red sauce is fantastic. My wife had the baked fish and could not stop raving over it. Their home made Italian Bread is also really really good. Great flavor. Yes, it could be a bit crustier, but it was better than anything I have had south of the Mason-Dixon Line. We plan to return, Lord willing. read more

Came across this old neighborhood joint unintentionally. Our usual go-to in Amsterdam was closed last time we were passing through at mealtime. Found this place on yelp. On a back street in a beat neighborhood (this IS Amsterdam, right) the sort of place you'd never find because you'd never deliberately drive through a slum neighborhood on purpose. But let me tell you, Bosco's is the REAL DEAL. Far and away the best calzone I've ever had. Pretty good antipasto. Excellent food, good sized portions, good prices. Service was fair, not great. Authentic old-time neighborhood joint atmosphere and vibe. They were fairly busy and all the neighboring tables also seemed to be enjoying their meal as much as we were. Looking forward to returning. Sorry, Armory Grill. We are Bosco's people now! read more

We have been eating here for 20+ years... my husband ordered the steak sandwich with peppers, onions & mushrooms, husband said there were couple mushrooms & very few peppers & onions ... they charge addl for ea item!!! The steak was about 1/2 of what he would usually get, very disappointed I'm hoping this was a one time thing because we go there every week sometimes 2x a week, also charged for extra bread ... if u are going to chg extra u should mention it before bringing item. read more

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? read more

Thanks to Yelp we stumbled on this little treasure in Amsterdam for a late dinner on a saturday night. It was about 7:30 when we got there and everyone was stacked up at the bar. We parked in the lot across the street, and came in via the front door into the bar, not realising that there is a nice little side door for the dining area and for take out. The restaurant part was pretty much abandoned and there was someone sweeping up when we got there. It's bigger than you'd expect from the outside. There's a woodstove in there! I asked if the kitchen was still serving and was assured that they were. We were quickly seated with menus and our drink orders were taken. Seems like most of the drink available is fountain sodas. We ordered the Pesto pizza (Which only comes as a 6 cut), some mozzarella sticks (Thick cut and fried a dark brown. So good.) and an order of medium wings. Everything was delicious. The wings were perfect. The spice is much stronger than what MOST places call hot. (Perfect for me... My 11 year old was chugging water and lemonade, but even tho it was hot for him, he still said that they had great flavor.) The help was wonderful. Helpful and patient. It's not a high scale place, but solid, and family oriented. Thank you for feeding us, Bosco's! read more

Friendly staff and great little local spot for drinks and Italian bar food. We had a few of the calzones, they were good. The dough was light and fluffy and the insides loaded with cheese. We also had one stuffed with the Italian sausage which was great. Had a cheese pizza...and there was alot of cheese, almost too much. Thick rich sauce for dipping. read more

great food reasonably priced service was good wait staff friendly long wait to to seated read more

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

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!!! read more

Food is solid and the beer was cold. But the time it took to have a meal and get the service was crazy. It was seriously ten minutes before we got a drink order. They said when we were being seated "to bear with them" a couple times and I didn't think anything of it until we seriously waited 45 mins for an order of mozz sticks and a salad as our apps. I will stress that the calzones were really good and I would go again but not a day that I have things to do. read more

This is our go to for pizza and wings. To me the pizza is the best in the city, never skimp on the toppings, sauce has a great flavor. The dinners are also very good and their antipasto is like no other. read more

Holy Cow! Bring your appetite and they'll provide the doggy bag. Smothered with a great gravy with a hint of pepper you'll enjoy all the traditional Italian specialties. The tripasta special and the eggplant parm were everything we expected. Then we added the famous Calzone (with Sausage). Photos to follow. read more

Great meals. Pizzas delicious. I would definitely recommend. Everyone there pleasant and helpful. Even being short staffed, They work very hard and still keep a smile on their face. read more

This place is great. The food is always consistently awesome. Friendly staff and good prices. Best calzone you'll ever have!

Hands down best restaurant I been too the ladies are amazing and the food is on point the appearance on the outside doesnt pop out but they definitely show that appearance doesnt matter it's the quality of the food. Best pizza in the town as well I'd take there pizza over any other shop keep it up read more

You would never find this spot on your own as it is on a local street. Further even if you did drive by the outside is non descript. Inside it is a humming, friendly spot. The food is so good. Fresh and simple. The best calzone I have had ever, anywhere. They have a homey eating area but you can also do well with ordering for take out. read more

The SLOWEST service in town. These poor girls do not have enough help on a Friday or Saturday. The place can certainly use a redesign. Cramped quarters and old fashioned decor. The food is good though. So I put myself through coming here a couple times a year. I prefer take out read more

my friends have been raving about this new Mexican restaurant. So we gave it a go. It did't disappoint. Great food and fabulous cocktail. Also, our Server Sarah was a sweetheart. Will be back read more

We were looking for something different to try. Saw reviews on Yelp and decided to try Bosco's! So glad we did. We all were very pleased with every aspect of our meal! All the staff were attentive, the food was fantastic! We all ordered something different, their famous calzone, the wings and eggplant parm. The eggplant came with soup, salad and pasta! Prices were very reasonable! The food was delish! I would recommend Bosco's to anyone! read more

Here's your typical Bosco's dinner: take stuffed pasta shells or chicken/eggplant and place them in a casserole dish of sorts. Load it up with delicious red sauce. Cover with mozzarella. Bake. Include soup AND a salad, because, you know, everyone needs their vegetables. Charge between $7.95 and $11.95 for the entire dinner. Did I mention the $2 drafts of Genny, $2.50 for Blue Moon served up while blasting a mix of Lil' Wayne and Alan Jackson at the bar? Some might find such a mix overwhelming, others, like myself, wish more radio stations/bars played hip hop country fusion. Whether you prefer the rambling musings of Wheezy or classic country songs, the music choices probably won't affect your evening. Bosco's is classic Italian American dining at it's best. Simple, affordable, downright delicious. read more

Classic old school Italian in Amsterdam. Delicious crispy pizza including Bianco with local toppings. Packed bar with beer specials on Genny & Labatt's. Friendly waitstaff that knows how to turn tables. Old timey decor that works with the old timey prices. Freshly prepared entrees at very reasonable prices. Worth a stop off the Thruway for great Italian fare. A step back in time with 50's prices. read more

We found this place on yelp as we were looking for a restaurant on our way back home from Albany to Syracuse. There were only 3 reviews but they seemed good. Initial impressions were tough, as this place is in an old house style building that appeared run down. Without Yelp, we wouldn't have even gone in. They had just opened at 3pm, we were there just before 4. There was one server who was friendly and took our order. The food was good, I had a Calzone as that is what the advertising says they are known for and my wife had a hot roast beef sandwich which was made from leftover prime rib. We both had ice tea. When the check arrived it was $31.00 and I was surprised to see that we paid for 5 glasses of ice tea. We were never told that they didn't refill for free and that every 16 oz glass of regular ice tea was $2.25 I asked the server and she just said, ya we don't do free refills. You can get a pint of draft beer here for the same price and I think it's ridiculous that they charge for refills on tea and that we were not informed even when she kept coming back asking if we needed more tea! We paid the bill and left. Wasn't worth the trip off the highway and we will never be back. read more

Bosco's is a neighborhood bar & restaurant where many regulars hang out on the bar, everybody including staff and people are welcoming. The place has another side of the bar, get your friends and hangout here. Also Bosco's have large selection of American and Italian food, the quality is above your average bar food and the serving sizes are extravagant, I don't even know how they make money, their prices are very affordable. Everything I tried here was decent, I wasn't however fan of their pizza. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

Wow, do not leave this place without trying their chicken wings or baked calazone. Out of this world terrific! Old school at its finest.

This year, Bosco's was named the BEST restaurant in Montgomery County by Living Magazine. And for a good reason! It is the best family Italian food In the entire Capital Area! Bosco's Calzones are LEGENDARY, absolutely delicious baked to perfection and filled with absolutely the best fillings, from mozzarella and ricotta, to sausage, broccoli, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions...., anything you could want. The pizza is always baked to perfection and is served in square or round pies. Thursday nights, it's Chuck's special hamburger night. You will never find a bigger, juicier burger, topped with your choice of cheese, mushrooms, bacon, grilled onions and salad, accompanied with fries. There's so much more to enjoy and devour. And you will not find friendlier and more service oriented staff. David Greco runs the place. His family has owned Bosco's for 40 years and counting. Lori, Dave's sister makes the pizzas! And you may find them coming t your table to say hello and welcome you to their restaurant. I hope you enjoy Bosco's as much as I do. read more

Stopped here based on good yelp reviews as we were traveling from Rochester to Kingston. Perfect stop. Food was plentiful and delicious. I had the lasagne and my husband the baked cod. We dont usually get dessert when we eat out but they had peanut butter pie and you just cant pass that up. Large serving of that too. More than enough for us to share. Would definitely return. Waitstaff very friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly and was super hot. read more

This resturant is great mom and dad go here just about every Friday with our friends josh and Bonnie and Scott and Jane and as always dad asks for molly to be our waitress and she is a great waitress the food is always good and we always take my Jeep commander so that mom and dad can have a few drinks and not have to drive and end up getting dwi but never the less the food is great we will continue to go here ask for molly as your waitress. read more

Best calzone in the area bar none. Hard to get anything else because the calzone is so good.. try the calzone

If you want a calzone your not gonna find a better place for it. My favorite is the meatball ricotta w/ spaghetti sauce on the side, yum The dough and cheeses are always fresh, and the meatballs would make any Italian grandmother jealous. Super Dave and the rest of the Bosco's team always make you feel welcomed as if you were family. read more
