First time here, but definitely not the last! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The dining room is beautifully designed, with an elegant yet warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the owners are very involved in every aspect of the restaurant, and it truly shows in the attention to detail, the quality of the food, and the overall experience. Everything feels thoughtfully put together. A wonderful dining experience that I would highly recommend. Looking forward to coming back!

We love Il Bosco!! It NEVER disappoints. The salads are terrific, the pizza is the best we have had anywhere in the world ( and we travel a lot!). The sausage stuffed peppadews are a fabulous appetizer. And my absolute favorite dessert anywhere in town is at Il Bosco; TARTUFO! Chocolate, strawberry and pistachio ice cream covered in the most delicious dark chocolate!!! Service is always excellent: fast, friendly and welcoming. Do not miss this local treasure!!!!!
