Basilico is wonderful for a cosy night sipping on wine and eating tasty and well prepared pizza or pasta. I will definitely come again and again. ! The service is great and it is clean and tasteful inside.
—Entertainer accepted— I have been here before and it is breathtaking, warm welcome on arrival staff is friendly and advisable, as we had a meeting opted for pizzas and we thought we could all try each other’s my personal favorite was the Turin however as my friends choice the Napoli has knocked the Turin to second place. I was advised that you can have a pizza and a pasta to be entertained, meaning you dont need to have both meals as pizzas or pastas, the chefs choices are also available as part of the entertainer, if you are a beer drinker they have a lovely craft beer on tap, scenery is beautiful all around the ambience is fantastic, smoking only allowed ground floor outside, not on the deck upstairs, I would like to also advise of the lunch specials they have R70 for a pizza with 2 toppings of choice and R70 for a selection of pastas and it is well worth it
Not a fan. Got the margherita and it was about as lackluster as my worst case scenario imagined it would be. Base was both too crispy and soft/underdone at the same time, and there was waaaay too much cheese. I don’t think the base was home made (if it was then good golly I’m shocked), and it’s SO EASY to make pizza dough I can’t understand why some restaurants don’t do it!I ended up covering it with garlic and chili so I could at least finish it. Partner got the inferno and there was no heat at all. The meat was not what we expected – definitely not pepperoni or even salami. Looked and tasted more like cabanossi. Ew.We also got the grilled chicken / butternut salad to share. Worst salad dressing I’ve ever had. Inedible. My partner found it palatable when covered in balsamic.Do not expect quality Italian here, expect basic food that’s somewhat aware of Italian flavors.
Very nice place with good fast service and much to choose from. Again this is a me thing, I am not a pasta lover, so I opted for the chef recommended sirloin. I enjoyed it, but the proper sauce was not very tasty. Apart from that good food great service.
We went to Basilico on a very warm evening and asked to move to a cooler part of the restaurant. The waiter proceeded to tell us that this area was actually not warm at all and we couldn’t move. Besides that the pizza I ordered was very good. I ordered extra rocket and they really gave me my money’s worth with plenty of fresh rocket on top. Just wish the service was a better because we all enjoyed our food.
