Met a friend for a late lunch during the week and thoroughly enjoyed the Gnocchi Sorrentina and Caesar Salad. Even took some slices of pizza to go for later. Il Basilico does Gnocchi right. They have three to choose from. I really love the Sorrentina made in a creamy rose sauce. Delicious! The salads here are always tasty and fresh. My friend ordered a salad with artichoke hearts. Having salad envy, I plan to order it next time! It looked heavenly. Great service and affordable prices (always leftovers so you get TFO meals).

We've been here a few times, and the food is always delicious. I'm gluten free, and their GF pasta and pizza are some of the best I've had. You can tell they make everything in house with fresh ingredients. My daughter ordered the Pappardelle bolognese, the pasta was made in Italy. She was it was fantastic. We've had great service as well. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portions

Great service, (thanks Gavin!). Great vibe, extensive menu. Not pretentious, busy, and exactly what you need on a casual family Friday or Saturday night. HIGHLY recommend the margarita pizza with chicken well-done!!! Also, their pastas noodles are as fresh and rich as their chocolate cake. Hard to beat for the price and BYOB From wine shop Next door. Will be back, oh and BtW the owner is a world class singer!

Met up with some friends last night for dinner. This was also my first visit to Il Basilico. I've received mailers from them over the years and was intrigued but not enough to make a visit. When arriving, I noticed the house isn't fancy, which is good from a value standpoint. It's very homey at Il Basilico. The menu contains a broad range of favorites from appetizers to pizza and beyond. My own order consisted of a small (but ample) Caesar salad which was very good. My entree was their chicken parmigiana with penne pasta covered in marinara. I believe the chicken was thinned out and breaded. The chicken and pasta were quite good. You know those mailers I mentioned? I was especially impressed with their pizza offerings. Their website tells the story of their founder who basically perfected pizza. Throughout my visit I had a sense they were slinging more pies than entrees as dozens made their way through the front door and being Monday customers bypassed at least two pizzerias selling half price pies on Mondays. Our server (seven of us, total, separate checks) was on top of her game. Prices very fair and although I finish my meal, all others in my party took home some leftovers. Pizza is next...

we had an excellent meal at an excellent price! The meatball sub and stuffed shells - hit the spot! the bread with seasoned oil for dipping was delicious. but the very best was dessert- a homemade s'mores dessert- sooooo good! Our servers were on point - Summer was prompt and accurate and attentive. Shanina who also helped serve our table was unobtrusive and friendly. we even had a visit with the manger , Arden , who was making sure all of the customers in the dining room and the carry out orders were correct and enjoyable. we will definitely be back!
