    Cup Tomato & Orzo Soup
    Danielle G.

    Fast service, great food, and delectable desserts. This was my second visit and it did not disappoint. I love the pick two option, because there are so many great options . The tomato orzo bisque is amazing. I typically do not get the bread, but I forgot to swap out with my tuna melt and it was not overpowering and I enjoyed the meal.

    Another quick and succinct review here. I always like to find different places to stop on my travels north and southbound on I-95. I came across Basilico in Fredericksburg on Yelp and stopped in for a quick lunch last Sunday on my way home. The restaurant was bustling, the food was great, the service was quick, and it was delicious. I was not disappointed. There are many options to choose from. The bakery choices were abundant and looked delicious but I passed (this time).

    Steak Stromboli
    Brittanie M.

    Basilicos for the win once again! I just love this place and the food is delicious. The steak stromboli is the best I've had. I made the mistake and bought pre made ones from Wegmans this past week... and had to order this to recoup from the disappointment. I also ordered the lobster bisque which is amazingly thick and creamy. I haven't tried the cake yet, but I know it's going to be tasty!

    My co workers raved how great this place was. I was in Fburg today today so figured I would check it. Order to go Italian Hero Large and Italian Hero small and chicken noodle soup. The small was put in a container and it's like they just put everything in the container and didn't close the sandwich I was like what deli puts a sandwich in the container and doesn't close it. My wife took a bite of the small sandwich after trying to close it was bone dry no Italian oil, seasoning or dressing. She was like what Italian deli doesn't put any oil or seasoning on a sandwich. The large was rolled and I thought maybe they just forgot to put the oil and seasoning on the small one. Similar bone dry sandwich took one bite and tossed both in the trash. I wouldn't recommend this deli and I wasted $31.15 didn't try the soup but put it in trash bin.

    Food - 4.2 service - 3.5 ambiance - 4 I got the cranberry turkey panini sandwich with cole slaw side and potato salad. I was pleasantly surprised. Solid food stop in Fredericksburg. I did think the sandwich could use a little more butter- it was not as oily a panini as it should have been (it wasn't at all). But it was flavored well and the sides were delicious. The slaw was an Amish style.. very fresh and healthy tasting. The service was extremely slow. There is a restaurant there too so that's probably why. Next time I swing by the area I will try to make an order in advance.

    I first tried this restaurant in 2021 and I remember having tried the fettuccine Chicken Alfredo (good), the Mac n cheese (great), and the carrot cake (bad). Now I've returned to see if the place is as good as I remember. I had a to-go order of the chicken fettuccine Alfredo $17.50, the custom chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread with a side of Mac n cheese $12, a slice of Oreo cake, and sampled the Oreo gelato. The chicken Alfredo was okay but definitely not as good as I last remembered and it's also crazy how the small amount of chicken given was an additional 5 whole dollars (ridiculous). The custom chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread was solid but nothing special. The mac n cheese was very good and easily the best item I've tried. The Oreo cake was pretty bad tbh and I definitely wouldn't get it again. The Oreo gelato I tried also wasn't good.

    Hot food was delicious. The desserts looked great, but did not compare to the food. Service was outstanding

    Chilling out on my day off!

    This is a Italian-American restaurant fused w a bakery-gelatoria. It's a nicely lit place w good service and not too loud. Nice place to meet a person for lunch or coffee. The dessert selection looks delectable and fresh. I had a pizza and exercised restraint but it was really hard. The pizza was pretty good. What stood out was the richness of the sauce. It tasted fresh. Not the best pizza in FXBG but good. It's cooked in a brick oven and had that crunchy crust you would expect. I went w the safe selection as it's my first time here for food but they surprisingly have a nice selection. I'll be back for dessert and coffee.

    The ice cream is very tasty.

    My God, what a true 5-star experience…read more We were in Fredericksburg for the day, and I'm so glad we decided to give Orofino a try. The cozy indoor dining room transports you to a relaxed, no-frills neighborhood restaurant you'd expect to find in Naples, Italy. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in at just the right times. They were attentive without being intrusive. We never had to ask for plates to be cleared or flag someone down when we were ready for dessert. We started with the calamari, followed by the lasagna, and finished with the lemon cake. I also had an Aperol Spritz. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell nothing relied on frozen ingredients or store-bought sauces. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in the Fredericksburg area, I highly recommend Orofino. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town.

    New to the area, and what an amazing experience!…read more From the outside, the restaurant looks smaller than it actually is, but once inside, it's surprisingly spacious with a warm, traditional Sicilian atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. Our waiter, Jack, was an absolute superstar. He was knowledgeable, attentive, funny, and incredibly helpful with our selections. He truly made the evening special. We started with the calamari and a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and pomegranate unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread served with their infused olive oil was outstanding and worth mentioning on its own. For our entrées, my husband and I both ordered specials the Lobster Ravioli and the Halibut. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also enjoyed an excellent red blend wine. By that point, we had enjoyed enough wine that I completely forgot to take photos of the specials! We finished with the cannoli special dessert, which was good, though not quite as memorable as the rest of the meal. Most of all, we can't thank Jack enough for the great service, laughs, and overall experience. It's rare to find food and hospitality that work together so perfectly. We'll definitely be back very soon!

We had a party of 17 for a retirement dinner, and our waitress seemed noticeably annoyed by the size of our group, even though she had other staff members assisting her. At one point, she brought me a refill but placed it behind me without saying anything. I accidentally knocked it over because I had no idea it was there, and she was VERY visibly annoyed. I was never offered another drink after that. For a large party celebrating a special occasion, she simply was not the right person to provide that level of service. The seating arrangement was also disappointing. We were placed in a room with a door leading directly to the kitchen, so it was extremely loud and staff were constantly walking through our retirement dinner. For what is supposed to be a nicer restaurant--and considering the prices--it really took away from the atmosphere and experience. As far as the food, it was decent but inconsistent. I ordered the lamb chops well done. They had a good flavor, but they definitely were not well done and, in my opinion, were not worth the price. I expected more. The filet mignon was pretty bland. The salad dressing was nasty, to me and the others at the table. They could have kept that. On the positive side, the crab cakes were delicious, and the shrimp pasta with lemon butter sauce was also delicious. The chocolate cake was very good also!! Those were definitely the highlights of the meal. Overall, it was a decent experience, but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately, the customer service and atmosphere made the biggest impression on me, and based on that alone, I don't see myself returning.

Now, let me be clear: Nicole the bartender is the sole reason this place isn't getting the kind of rating you give a broken lawnmower. She was thoughtful, attentive, and smiled like she actually meant it--which is rarer in restaurants these days than a Baptist drinking a margarita in public. But then the food showed up and dragged the whole evening back down the hill. The flatbread pizza was so thin I'm convinced the crust started life as a Nabisco cracker. It was edible, in the technical sense. The calamari, on the other hand, was about 85% breading--looked like somebody dumped a bag of fried socks on a plate. Not greasy, I'll give 'em that, but mostly just a pile of extra coating searching desperately for a squid. So, yes, Bravo did better... but only because Nicole held the rope while the rest of the meal dangled over the cliff.

Unfortunately, his overall appearance was quite disheveled, which did not make a particularly good first impression. After waiting a few minutes, I was warmly greeted by Jasmine B. I ordered a 9-ounce glass of Blackberry Sangria, the Toscana Filet and Shrimp, and, for dessert, a John Cole. The pasta was served hot; however, both the meat and shrimp were only lukewarm. The John Cole, consisting of ice cream and cake, had already melted by the time it reached my table. While I cannot say for certain, the temperature of the food may have been related to the workload Jasmine was handling. Jasmine was serving a large party of ten, several other tables in the booths, guests seated on the outside patio, and she was also responsible for the bar. That is an enormous amount of responsibility for one server. Despite being stretched in so many directions, Jasmine handled everything professionally and remained attentive and courteous throughout my meal. She certainly deserves credit for doing an excellent job under very demanding circumstances. There was, however, another issue that should not be overlooked: the menu itself had food particles on it. Menus should be clean and presentable, particularly in a restaurant where guests are preparing to dine. Overall, while Jasmine provided professional and attentive service under difficult circumstances, the lukewarm food, melted dessert, and unclean menu detracted considerably from the dining experience.
