Bosino — Restaurant in New York

Short version: I love this place! Absolute hidden gem. Great food, friendly people, nice ambiance, great beer.

Long version: my wife Juli and landed here out of coincidence a while back because we were searching for another place. We were directly hooked. The restaurant is run by Davide with the help of Salvo and Antonio, who all come from Italy and know what they are doing. Such friendly people with big hearts. Bosino feels like someone transported a typical Italian restaurant to New York. They offer fantastic food and quick service, often paired with a joke and a laugh. Best pizza I had in the US so far and is absolutely comparable with what you would get in Italy. My highlight is the Tartufata Pizza with added Mortadella. Pair it with a Dolomiti beer or their house wine. For dessert have the outstanding Tiramisu. And then just enjoy a nice evening with your company and let them take care of you. Bonus: If you're lucky, Salvo will draw your face in your cappuccino. We've now been so regularly, they almost feel like family. Can't...

Part of me doesn't want to give them a good review because I don't want it to be too busy when we go haha. This place is really great, we had never been here before but when we walked by, the staff in the kitchen and dining area smiled and waved at us. It was such a nice surprise and you can tell the team culture must be amazing. We decided to come back the next week to dine in, and were not disappointed. You can bring your own wine for a $20 corking fee (great for us, we have a queue to work through in our own 'cellar'). The 16" pizza to share was amazing for a very very affordable price, and the appetizers were all good too. We were full, but not stuffed or overeating. Perfect. As expected, staff was SO friendly and attentive and I could not recommend this...

4.5+ stars rounded up. As a first timer and someone who’s been wanting to eat here for a few years, Bosino did not disappoint. The special imported black truffle burrata appetizer is something I’ll be thinking about for a while. So delicious. While the pizzas were good, nice chewy but not dried crust, I have to say they were a bit overloaded (is that a good thing or a bad thing?). By the time I was half way through the small pie, the pizza was a little soggy. The staff was efficient. The owner was super friendly. Prices are on par with what a decent meal costs in this neighborhood. Oct 2023. Went back Dec 2023, and everything’s still very good. We had a polenta app, the eggplant app and a pizza. For 2, it was...
