Such a hidden gem! Delicious food and the owner has been 'doing his thing' for 30 years now. The calamari, tortellini (if you want something creamy,) antipasto, cozze (mussels) are all my faves of mine and the Tiramisu is divine. The staff are attentive and ask if you would like to start with a garlic or pesto/Parmesan bread (to which you should cause it's yum!)
Have been coming here for over 20 years, it is our go to birthday dinner restaurant and we call it Bosco Birday - have never had anything but awesome food and service - the staff are awesome!
Would have rated a 5 with the only down point being the slow time it took to get our food. Once I received my pescatore I was happy. Tasty.
5 Stars.
Beautiful and delicious food, perfect size pizzas and very fresh and delicious pastas.
They don't serve chips but for a good reason - they have plenty of other delicious food besides chips.
Friendly waiters and nice staff, food delivered on time.
Certainly would recommend, I'll be going there again.
Our family love this place. we love the decor which hasn’t changed much in all that time, the busy bustle of the place and the wait staff who are reasonably static over time are great. We have come here for years at any excuse. We usually all order the same thing every time. And obviously what goes on in the kitchen is wonderful, we have never had a bad experience.
The two different garlic, pesto breads, pizzas, lasagne and I get the gamberoni. Tonight I had the entree size which was plenty but missed the veges so next time I’ll have the main size again. Delicious.
I love the private booth for 4. It's very nice and intimate for dinner.
Everyone who works there is friendly and acknowledge your existence.
The food is simply delicious. I really enjoy it.
Definitely a must go.
We often come here to celebrate birthdays and celebrations in our family. They are always so inviting and accomodating to our large family and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. The owner is super genuine and understanding. We absolutely love coming here and always enjoy the food for the large portions and great flavor.
Really good pizzas! We usually get take aways, and it's a treat every time. Price for a large pizza ranges from around $19-25, but it's worth every dollar.
Haven't been for a while but meals very nice and delicious with pleasant helpful service. Was told table must be vacated by 8 ( usually like red rag to a bull) but we found 1.5 hours was plenty. BYO beer and wine an advantage and no corkage charged. Will return soon.

3 of us went at 5.30pm on a Wednesday night. We were the first group there but the restaurant was full and humming when we left several hours later.
Food was outstanding, all our dishes were 10/10. Sizes are large. Because of this we didn’t have desert but those that went passed our table looked fabulous too.
Coffee was hot and strong- just perfect.
A great local Italian Restaurant with a well deserved A rating all round.
Highly recommend.
Amazing food. Friendly service. I live on the shore now so don't get there as often . but truly a gem. Keep up the good work . look forward to a visit again soon.
Dined again 23rd April 19, excellent menu. Well priced great service, fantastic local eatery. 😀
The pizzas are to die for! We ordered a group of pizzas to takeaway and were not disappointed. Each pizza had the perfect amount of each ingredient. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. I'm looking forward to dining in next time :)
If you want to have a warm family gathering, then this restaurant is definitely your first choice! I came to this restaurant tonight with my partner's parents for dinner and after enjoying the variety of food, I have to admit, it's so much better than some so-called Fancy restaurants in central Auckland! Friendly service, delicious food! A restaurant that has survived for 35 years and still has a lot of regular customers, why don't you come? I will definitely come back with my family to enjoy it again! Thank you to the chef and service staff tonight.
Food was amazing. Perfect. Good price too. Very popular local can see why!
Absolutely fantastic. An awesome find at Greenwood's Corner. BYO, one of the last around.
Go for two entrees and a dessert. The food was delicious and service with a smile.
Looks like the decor is 20 years old, but who cares when the meal was so good!
Because of ill health I haven’t been able to attend in person but I have a neighbour who picks up for me without a doubt. These are the best pizzas in Auckland or maybe even New Zealand I don’t know but they’re fabulous they’re always the same as no variation a quality pizza or lasagna or whatever
The garlic bread is to die for.
Highly highly recommend this wonderful little Pizza restaurant
If you want delicious food and lovely atmosphere this is the place to go Jan
Nice Italian Restaurant. Large ports, good service.
Really charming authentic Italian restaurant and pizza takeaways in Greenwoods corner
Great menu and fabulous dishes.
On this occasion I really enjoyed the prawns in lemon butter and pizza bread on this visit. Tirimasu was good too
Can also recommend the chicken and scolllop crepes.
Just have to remember they are BYO .
Have lived just down the road for 2 years, so thought it was time to try out the local Italian joint. Grabbed a takeaway lasagne (made in less than 10 minutes), walked home (less than 5 minutes), and chowed down. Super moist, super yum! Will def go back and get Cabonara for my wife, plus will try out their canelloni :))

7May22 1940 Very awesome pre Mother's Day (tomorrow) dinner after a hard day tidying up the property. Bistecca as always for me, Pesce for my beloved and Whitaker's based chocolate mousse to go! Yummmmm ..
24Dec20 1408 Merry Christmas to my favourite New Zealand restaurant and its proprietor Mr Julian Snelgrove and his staff
24Oct20 1830 Just writing this makes me hungry again. Where do you go after fasting water only for 13 days? Bosco Verde of course. Yumm .. Bistecca Buon Gustaiao 200 gm medallion eye-fillet for me. And Pesce del Giorno for my wife. Yes when I check back in my diary it is nearly 30 not 20 years since my wife & I became loyal customers of head chef & owner Julian. Wonderful start to the long Labour Day weekend. Thank you Bosco Verde. Love ya! (I forgot .. DO CHOOSE the Rocket Salad. Only one word for it .. yummmmm again.)
11Aug18 9:15pm More than 20 years ago friends invited my wife and me to dinner at Bosco Verde. My wife and I have become regulars. It's an Italian foods restaurant with strong Kiwi flavours of cheese and vegetables. Proprietor and head chef Julian Snelgrove has a unfailing formula for food presentation and piping hot main courses. Delicious, tender, steaks cooked however you prefer and rich sides of potato. Finish with dessert and head home to enjoy the after dinner feeling of repleteness.
Really enjoyed our visit here.
Enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff.
But most of all the food is absolutely amazing 👏😋👍👍👍
I Highly recommend a visit here.
10/10
The pescatore pizza is excellent I have it every couple of weeks. It is consistent every time and superb. I have eaten in several times and again the food has always been excellent. Thank you Julian and team.
