    We had high hopes for our experience at BASILICO but sadly it was just mediocre. Although the restaurant was packed, our reserved table was ready and waiting. The service was as frosty as the wintery weather. Too bad. The bread basket contents were cold, hard, and very unappetizing. Couldn’t this restaurant offer fresh bread? Yuk. Our entrees ranged from good (Linguine alle Vongole) to below average (Frutti Di Mare). Sadly, nothing about this restaurant would encourage a repeat visit.

    I had a lemon sole special, crusted with crab meat and served with risotto, it was delicious. My husband had a pork chop special that he said was the best pork chop he ever had. Food and service are always spectacular at Basilico.

    Another great meal at Basilico. They honored our request for a table to accommodate a guest on crutches and it was perfect!

    This is my go-to place for lunch when I’m looking for something a bit more upscale than the mall, but still casual. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. It feels special in here, without the outrageous price tag or pretentious air.
