I used to live in Rome, and have to say that the pizza in Basilico is the best I've ever eaten in England. The crust is perfect, the ingredients fresh and excellently blended. Delicious. Service is good, atmosphere friendly. Also, the staff are well-informed about allergy issues, and my grandson greatly enjoyed his gluten-free pepperoni. Highly recommended.
Great evening spent celebrating a birthday.
Lovely Italian food, freshly cooked and delicious. 😋
Many Gluten Free options available.
Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere - just perfect!
We will definitely be back.. 😀
Thank You!
Pizza was exceptional, service was friendly - just need to make sure more desserts are available
My friend and I ate here this evening before watching a film at the plaza cinema a 2minute walk away. I had seen this place on the map and often thought i should try it. On first glance this little restaurant doesn't look much but don't judge a book by its cover, go inside and enjoy the pizza.
On arrival the place was quiet bar one couple enjoying their food. The lovely waitress/possible owner took a little while to greet us but once she did I can't complain. We quickly ordered our food and beverage each. Whilst we chatted they decided to put some questionable pop/rap/rnb music on which was a bit louder than background music so I had to pay attention to my friends conversation. However all can he forgiven as when our pizzas arrived they were authentic and delicious. Having been to Italy multiple times I can confirm these Woodfired sour dough pizzas in Dorset are fantastic. The waitress also checked on us a couple of times which i appreciate. Great little find. A shame for the owners that it wasn't busier as they deserve to have more footfall on a Friday night. The bill was very reasonable. 2 soft drinks and 2 pizzas was just over £35.00.
I will 100% be returning with my partner and no doubt with my friend again.
Excellent service, excellent food, We could not fault them...They went above and beyond to make my mother in law feel special on her birthday.
Would definitely recommend if you like traditional Italian cuisine.
Had a lovely meal at Basilico. The pizzas we had were really well cooked, a little different and very tasty. My son had Mac and Cheese and it was excellent, one of the best he's had when out. Add to this the lady serving was helpful and very friendly, and the chef was a great character who interacted with all of the customers with humour.
Only thing worth knowing is that they don't do children's portions and recommend that children share an adult portion. Wasn't a problem for us as the kids loved the food so much they had a whole adult portion each!
A good 20 or so of us challenged their accommodation and oven capacity the other night, but they were friendly and worked hard to get our orders right and out in good time. The pizzas were gorgeous and we all had a great time.
After a day out in Bournemouth we really fancied italian for dinner, I google searched italian restaurants on our way home and this restaurant popped up, we thought we would take a chance and we were not disappointed! The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing! We have 2 small children and we were worried what the atmosphere might be like but it was fantastic, we were all greeted in a friendly manner and made to feel so welcome, the food was amazing and we all cleared our plates. Would definitely recommend families giving this a try.
Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been here four times now and each time has been fantastic. Genaro sure knows how to cook up an incredible authentic Italian feast! The vibe is perfect for a week day evening, after work, meander down with some friends, grab a bottle of wine and eat a massive platter or a gorgeous oven baked pizza. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for great tasting food, it's great to support local family businesses!
Very tasty food. Great pizza and lovely tiramisu. Thank you to the owner and staff for making it such a great evening out for us!
