Il Boscaiolo Italiano Ristorante

All the dishes are amazing and you will not go home without a box!

The older woman that works there is very rude and not welcoming at all. She's probably single handedly holding back this restaurant from being very successful. She might be a better fit for the DMV. Seriously! And...No sharing allowed!!!! Even though a single entrée portion could feed two men, there's no small portion option and you can't split it with another person. Quality Italian restaurants offer half sizes and full sizes indicated with a slash between prices, for example 14/23. This way if you get the small size and you're still hungry for more you can get another half size of the same pasta or something else. Who's really finishing these huge entrées? It's not like they're giving them away. This place is still charging plenty for it. The food was fine. Honestly, I wouldn't return even if it was for free. Not worth the unpleasant experience at any price. If they were handing out 100 dollar bills with a free meal and no tip, then I might consider it. And even then, is it worth going here instead of one of the many better Italian restaurants? No.

To make this brief and summarize the dining experience- it was the worst service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. My friend and I felt that we were actually bothering the server/possible owner by being there. I’m a local resident going there for the first time and now understand why there were only 4 other guests the entire time we were there. I’m amazed that this restaurant is still in business. There are other reputable restaurants in the Lansdale area - ie restaurant Toscano. Go there. Anywhere but this place. Hate to say that the food was actually good, however, many basic menu items were not available. How does an Italian restaurant not have eggplant parm or rollatini when they’re featured menu items??? Hope this helps other potential diners or maybe even the restaurant owners.

I always get the chicken parm or francese. Me and my parents go to place for good Italian in the area. I love this place. It’s a cozy place. The wife of the chef is the server and she is always take of us. She is loud but she means well!

Veal picata with lemon sauce was very good, I also had a nice caprese salad. Six of us had a great meal for just under $200 plus tip. Very good value!

How do they stay in business? Difficult to catch them when they're open! Have tried on several occasions only to find they're closed at times their site says they should be open, both for take-out and dine in. Would've liked to have tried their cuisine before giving a review, but perhaps they'll read this and try to make themselves more amenable to receive and serve their customers. Do yourself a favor and call ahead, don't show up expecting them to be open. If you do, you might want to have a plan B.

This restaurant is a super friendly placeThe food is excellent and the restaurant is super clean ??

Good looking and Intimate place. Friendly not fast service. We waited a good amount of time to get water so we put app and food in together. Although it's great they keep it in the family just felt understaffed. Lobster ravioli had great flavor but was luke warm. My daughters tortellini was wonderfull. We finished up and paid and then their cat jumped up on our chair then puts its head in our left over food. Absolutely not the place for pets. Other guests were making comments. Oddly enough I feel like it deserves a second chance though.

Food is delicious and portions are huge. We got the Lobster Ravioli, Pollo Siciliano, and Calamari - all of which I would recommend. BYOB makes it even better. A true family restaurant, everyone was very friendly. We will be back!!

My husband and I ate here for the first time last week. The service was friendly, atmosphere was nice, and the food was outstanding. I loved that the owners, husband and wife, took the time to talk to us. I highly recommend Il Boscaiolo!!

Extremely rude, older woman who was both server and cook. Most of the menu was unavailable. She threw a fit in Italian when asked what other dishes were unavailable and when asked for more water.Left a small tip for the poor service and was threatened by the woman that I better leave a bigger tip - didn’t back down. I checked my credit card statement today and saw that she left a 20% tip for herself. Disputed this with the credit card company, will see where that goes.Stay away from this place. The woman running the place is clearly unhinged wouldn’t be surprised if she puts glass in your food and her feet in your salad.
