About Bosco Wine Grill

Behind the heavy curtain on Austin Street, Bosco runs an open hearth with zero fuss. Industrial edges, moody lighting. Diners in the know skip standard mains to build a table spread—pairing clean Black Onyx beef crudo and spanner crab before dividing whole cochinillo roasted over oak embers. European cellar pours arrive tableside, curated to match the wood smoke.

  • Wood-Fired Hearth: Steaks, seafood, and poultry cooked over open oak flame in the central hearth.
  • Spanish Cochinillo: Roast suckling pig served tender with crisp crackling straight from the fire.
  • Black Onyx Crudo: Black Onyx beef crudo paired with balanced seasoning and fresh egg yolk.
  • Sommelier-Led Cellar: Dedicated floor sommelier matching regional Mediterranean bottles to the smoke and salt.

Why Dine at Bosco Wine Grill

Wood-fired culinary craft, cellar-led pairings, and tailored hospitality on Austin Street. Reserve your table for an unforgettable evening.

  • Open-Hearth Wood-Fired Cooking

    Premium cuts and catches are prepared directly over live flame in an open kitchen hearth, infusing meats with rich, smoky character.

    The food was just amazing and using beautiful wood fires to cook over just enhances the flavours so much.

  • Signature Spanish Cochinillo

    The kitchen showcases traditional Spanish whole-roasted suckling pig, finished with exceptionally crisp crackling and tender meat.

    We came for the Spanish Cochinillo (Suckling Pig) so we shared several entrees before main course was served with extra crispy Crackling.

  • Sommelier-Curated Wine Pairings

    In-house sommelier guidance tailors Mediterranean and regional bottle pairings directly to each course of the meal.

    the restaurant manager, Fabrizio, were super friendly and helpful. He was there to help us with the best wine pairing.

  • Atmospheric Hidden Retreat

    Hidden behind a heavy drape on Austin Street, the dining room reveals a dramatic, glowing open hearth and intimate ambiance reminiscent of an exclusive supper club.

    As we approached Bosco, we were met with a luxurious, heavy curtain, a dramatic touch that made me feel like I was about to enter a secret supper club.

  • Milestone Celebration Hospitality

    From handwritten anniversary cards to hyper-attentive table care, milestone occasions receive dedicated, thoughtful hospitality.

    Upon arrival we were treated with such kindness and care, and the birthday girl even had a handwritten and personalised card!

  • Generous Communal Feasting

    Hearty multi-course set menus and generous portions make communal dining effortless for groups and celebrations.

    We (a party of 4) were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes — each dish was bigger than expected. We shared three mains and I was absolutely stuffed!

Most recommended dishes prepared over live flame and shared around the table.

  • Suckling Pig

    The suckling pig was beautiful, and the variety of breads and sauces were such a delight that we ate them before I could many photos…!

  • Wagyu Ribeye

    I highly HIGHLY recommend the duck risotto and wagyu cross ribeye. Both meats are grilled on their open flame and melt in your mouth perfect, and the flavours were just to die for.

  • Black Onyx Beef Crudo

    The Black Onyx beef crudo was outstanding, easily one of the best versions I’ve had. Great quality beef, clean flavours, and very well executed.

  • Tableside Sommelier Consultation

    Sommelier and general manager Fabrizio regularly visits tables directly to tailor regional European and Sardinian cellar pairings to each guest's taste.

  • Dramatic Hidden-Room Entrance

    Diners enter past an unassuming exterior through a heavy, luxurious curtain that reveals an intimate, dimly lit dining room anchored by the glowing hearth.

Before you head over

Essential ordering and planning advice for dining at Newstead’s live-fire grill.

  • Build Around Small Plates and Crudo

    Dinners shine brightest when you build around starters and entrees—such as the Black Onyx beef crudo and baked spanner crab—before splitting one wood-fired main. Guests note that smaller plates deliver the most vibrant flavors and keep rich wood-grilled mains from overwhelming the meal.

  • Plan Group Size for the Set Menu

    If you opt for the multi-course set menu, note that it is customarily intended for groups of four or more. Portions across shared mains and wood-fired cuts run exceptionally hearty, so avoid over-ordering when dining in smaller parties.

  • Enlist the In-House Sommelier

    Rather than navigating the extensive European cellar on your own, consult the house sommelier at your table. Tailored recommendations for Mediterranean whites like Sardinian Vermentino effortlessly cut through smoky open-hearth meats and rich seafood broths. Reserve your table ahead to experience Bosco’s wood-fired mastery firsthand.
