Fresh delicious bread
Christina M.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I've driven past this place a bunch of times. There's always people dining outside, particularly…read morewomen of various ages. They always look as though they're having fun. This time as I drove by, I had a friend and my dog riding along with me. Would they let us have dinner outside with my dog? I pulled up and walked into the restaurant to ask. Sure. We could sit at the high picnic tables near the front lawn. It was a nice, relaxing setting. Our server was Juliet, a very nice and helpful young woman. I ordered a Rustic Mule which was really a Moscow Mule and a Turkey Reuben with garlic mashed potatoes. My friend ordered a half pound burger with Dirty Fries. The food was delicious. We had a great time. I couldn't finish my meal. I ate half and took the rest home. Too bad. I was hoping to make it to dessert. The restaurant is famous for some sort of ice cream "flavor bomb," which I'll have to try next time. The dog, meanwhile, got a nibble of turkey from my sandwich and then sat down beside me. Juliet said the dog was so quiet she almost forgot the dog was there.

Definitely deserves more than a 4.1. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, even…read morethough we didn't know a lot about the place. Definitely a bar and pub, but we saw a lot of families up in the loft. Service was excellent. my wife had a meatloaf, and it was excellent.

Well, that day came -- and I kinda wish it hadn't. Started off with a beer -- tasted fine, but it came in what I can only describe as a juice glass for toddlers. I've seen communion cups with more volume. On the bright side, the Buffalo Trace pour was generous and done right -- finally, someone knows how to pour a proper drink. Now the food... yikes. It took so long I thought they were growing the ingredients out back. When it did show up, the plates looked like they'd been hit by a food shrink ray -- portions were weak. Worst offense? The cheesesteak came with zero cheese. I'm not even being dramatic. No melted cheese, no slice, no nothing. Just sad steak on bread. Felt like I got pranked. Only thing that saved this meal from total disaster was Randi, our waitress. She was on the ball -- super friendly, fast, and clearly doing her best while the kitchen was stuck in neutral. If you go, ask for her section. Seriously, she's the real deal. Bottom line: I wanted to like this place -- had high hopes. But unless they step up the portions, pace, and, ya know, actually put cheese on a cheesesteak, I'll be sticking to backyard grills and diner breakfasts.

I regret not taking his name for this review but, 'The Guy' (you know who you are) was very pleasant and attentive. His station was some ways away from our lane. Despite this, anytime we ran into trouble (e.g. when a pin got stuck) he already spotted it and promptly started working on resolving the problem. There were a lot of attendees but the venue didn't feel overcrowded or uncomfortable. Everyone from the teens to the seniors was well-behaved and had a grand time. The venue was clean (including the male bathroom) and lively. Both the bar and the mini restaurant were open. We ordered fries and chicken tenders. We received our meal quickly and it tasted well.

Right after I got there A man walked up to me at our table and said very RUDELY " you gotta be out of here at 4:45 we have another party coming in, so get your kids shoes and get them bowling "! The point in having a party at a place like this is so you have time to enjoy yourself but we didn't because we couldn't! From being rushed out the door right after you arrive, they don't give you a hostess, they didn't even give the children FOOD or DRINKS untill 4:15!! We had to buy drinks from a vending machine!! Any time we needed something we had to wait to get help, and most of the time we had to hunt the employees down because they were in the back room! Every time we asked for help or needed something we were treated poorly! Spoken to with attitude and sarcasm! I was told each child would get a pass for a free game of bowling (we didn't get them)! Now I have to drive 25 minute to go pick them up! I can't even give them to most of the children because they live over an hour away! The pizza was over cooked, like to the point it was rock hard! How do you give that to a toddler??? We weren't given any utensils, we had to hunt them down ourselves, they didn't give us enough cups, plates or napkins! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! I'm so unbelievably disappointed with this place! We paid WAY TO MUCH FOR THE LITTLE BIT WE GOT!

So that happened…read more About to sit down for our second meal in two nights at The Nest/Schenectady (not the subject of this review). Why? Why would we drive 20 minutes in the rain and fog on St Patrick's and not eat at the lobby restaurant (this restaurant) where we were guests for two nights? Why walk out on our reservation? The reservation made with the front desk? Incompetence. Disrespect. Complete inability to remedy multiple screw ups. We were taken to our table with a cute little reserved placard on it. Unnecessary, but ok. There were three tables dining. Of dozens. As in the place was completely empty. Tables everywhere. Ours? Right next to the point-of-sale system against the bar. We asked to move. A dozen tables were available away from the bar. As it turns out, the significantly warmer side of the venue. Nope. The gentleman states that we can only sit on the kitchen entrance side close to the main door. In an empty restaurant. We sat there for about two minutes before it was clear we'd be cold from the main door draft and even more frustrated by the loud yelling in the kitchen. The ice crunching from the bartender was the only thing that made it comical. Seriously, within two minutes my neck was stiff from the cold at the second table. My wife's feet, in boots, we're getting chilled. I'd be furious if this wasn't a first world thing. It is a first world thing. But if you're looking for a nice dining experience in an empty restaurant and the staff wants to sit your reservation made, suite (just a bigger room) staying butt in front of the kitchen or POS system rather than accept that the guest isn't satisfied with the hospitality... As I said, we left. We won't be back. At least I got a nice text letting me know they canceled our reservation.
