" My family and I visited Basilico for dinner last night, and I must say, it was a pleasant surprise. Everything from the mushroom risotto to the seafood pasta was flavorful and well-prepared. The outdoor patio provides a lovely view of the river, which added to our dining experience. The only hiccup was that our service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. I had the seafood linguine and it was exquisite. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a nice meal with a beautiful view. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a disappointment! I came to Basilico after hearing the rave reviews, but my experience was far from stellar. The service was slow, and while our server was kind, the food quality was lacking. The chicken marsala tasted more like a fried chicken breast than an Italian classic, and the pasta was bland. I expected more for the price we paid, and I definitely won't be coming back anytime soon. It's unfortunate because the patio was lovely, but food is king, and this restaurant just doesn't deliver. " (*Curated Review*)

" It had been a while since I had good Italian food, and Basilico did not let me down. I started with the bruschetta, which had just the right amount of seasoning and was fresh. My main course was the seafood platter, loaded with shrimp, scallops, and mussels on a bed of perfectly cooked pasta. The dessert—a tiramisu—was creamy and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. The only downside was that it took a little while for our check to arrive, but overall, it was a very satisfying meal, and I would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family enjoyed a delightful meal at Basilico last weekend. The variety of dishes available was impressive, and each one we tried was delicious! My husband had the seafood linguine, which he said was delightful, while I had the margherita pizza—simple but authentic. The kids loved the pasta selections available on the menu too! Although the service was a bit slow, it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basilico was highly recommended, and it didn't disappoint. We were seated quickly outside, which offered a lovely view enhancing our dinner experience. The pizza was authentic with a nice crispy crust and plentiful toppings. The only complaint was that it could have been a tad hotter upon serving, but everything was delicious nonetheless. I'd come back just to savor that pizza again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basilico has a cozy atmosphere and is in a picturesque location, but the food left much to be desired. I ordered the chicken parm, hoping for a classic Italian dish, but it was overcooked and dry. The accompanying pasta was bland as well, making me rethink my choice to dine here. Service was okay but could have been better. I'll think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely birthday dinner at Basilico last week. The service was great, and the outdoor seating is simply beautiful, especially as the sun set over the river. My partner had the lasagna which he said was wonderful, and I enjoyed the seafood linguine—it was a generous portion and tasted amazing. Overall, a perfect dinner spot for a special evening.
