Simply the best for lunch and sweet treats. The Garden of Eating sandwich is my fav! Highly recommend checking them out

We've been going to Basilico for years now and have really liked anything we've ever ordered from there. Our favorites are the pizza (which has a very good crust), the paninis, the wraps, and any of the great desserts they have. They have excellent gelato, cannolis, and probably the best cheesecake in town. read more

Food and service was great. We had never been there before and we we pleased with what we had. Create your pasta, spaghetti and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Don't forget the desserts! read more

Read the reviews, got really excited about the good, read the negative one and almost didn't come but I'm so glad we did. I had a fresh Greek salad which was yummy that came with bread. Husband had the same salad and a black bean soup, which he really liked. my kids shared a pepperoni bacon pizza, which is the only reason I didn't give it five stars. It looked amazing but there is something about pizza outside of NY. The sauce always tastes a little sweet and just isn't right. My daughter also had a lobster bisque soup which I tasted, a couple of times, and it was amazing! Would I recommend this place? Yes!! If i lived in the area i would def go there frequently. Their service was also very good, people were friendly and food was brought to our table quickly. read more

In addition to the very friendly, communicative staff, the food is delicious! It looks exactly like the pictures and tastes ver good. It's also very well priced. I would say the pizza is big enough for 2-3 people. read more

Now I've visited this location on two occasions and the results are the same. Not enough help in the restaurant, especially during peak hours. I watched food sitting and sitting and sitting (hot fries)waiting for table runner. The synergy is not like the location down off Harrison. The faces are not as friendly either. Needless to say we will drive to Harrison no matter how inconvenient. The service model should be the same at both locations. Unfortunately it's not. read more

3/5 for my overall meal but 4/5 for the desserts and pastrami sandwich. Let me explain: I ordered the turkey hero club with a side of pasta salad, a chicken noodle soup cup, and our group collectively shared a build-your-own pizza (we got pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, and onion). The club was good but was average in my opinion. The soup was also average--good but nothing that will light up your taste buds. The pizza was that of the same, it was good but wouldn't recommend it for a main course. I'm glad we got it on the side. Now here's the good stuff. My boyfriend made the right choice and ordered the pastrami sandwich. He let me have a few bites and WOW was it clear I ordered the wrong thing. The pastrami sandwich was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I'll be ordering it when we come back. AND THE DESSERTS. Okay, so they have a separate desserts counter which I'm sure you've seen if you dived deep into the pictures on here like I did. I got a cannoli which was really good and had chocolate chips on the ends. I also got a small peanut butter gelato. It was so smooth and creamy and exactly what I needed to top of my meal. Overall, I'd suggest getting one of their signature sandwiches like the Reuben or the New Yorker and then treat yourself to a dessert! read more

Basilico was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! The menu is huge so be prepared to make some hard choices. We had the French Dip and a Calzone. The roast beef tasted like it was freshly roasted and sliced that day and the Calzone was packed full of ham, mozzarella and ricotta cheese, absolutely delightful. The desserts are in a category all their own. I considered ordering three just to sample. That would be my only suggestion to the owner, create a dessert sample plate with 4-5 different desserts! We got the mirage cake and Black Forest cake, both amazing. The employees were so attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back and bring friends! read more

This is my favorite go to spot for lunch when I was working in an Obgyn office. Definitely, recommend the lobster bisque soup absolutely delicious and amazing. I had the French dip sandwich with lobster bisque soup and it was delicious . Also, stop for dessert, everything made from scratch and it super fresh. The cakes and gelato is delicious, a definite stop here for lunch. read more

Just called to place delivery to Hilton Garden Inn .9 miles away as Yelp states they deliver.... the say the stop delivering at 4 PM. so, no one eats after 4 ?????? Yelp, please update their profile. read more

I've been eating here for YEARS. I was deployed twice and stationed on the west coast and every time I came home for leave I made a trip to Basilico! I always get the same thing, panzarotti calzone. I'm sure they make plenty of other delicious stuff but nowhere else around here does a calzone as nice. I opt for baked, not fried. It always has plenty of goodies inside: ham, pepperoni, mozzarella, ricotta--really, just classic. I tend to call ahead for pickup, they take 20 minutes to make, very consistent. It comes with a dish of marinara sauce for dipping. It's my favorite "I don't want to cook" comfort food. Once in a while when the place is hopping the bottom is a little burnt, but for the countless orders they've filled for me they have my deepest gratitude. It's almost enough for two, but I'm a pig so I eat the whole thing by myself at once. Requires a lot of water, I assume it's so super delicious because of salt. I tried their cannoli off and on over the years, the shells are like rocks. I've tried several of the pretty little cakes but they're dry, grainy. The desserts are really awesome to look at, but I've given up eating them. They're nice to visit and admire. I'm lactose intolerant (like hard-core) but lactase pills mean I get to keep eating calzones. To put it into perspective, I don't eat ice cream even with the pills because the pain is still too much. The Basilico's calzone is worth totally worth it! Much love to Basilico for feeding me over the years. read more

Great sandwiches, great salads, great service and amazing baked goods! Really excellent bakery!!

Where do I start? Wow!! I had a pepperoni pizza and it was light, but very cheesy. The crust was like a crusty cloud.. lol. My wife had the chicken cacciatore and she absolutely loved it. We got lasagna and gnocchi to go just so we didn't have to cook on Sunday. Do yourself a favor, try this place out!! read more

I'm new to town and was looking for some good Italian takeout. Some recommended Basilico and I was not disappointed. The Greek salad was excellent and fresh and the piccata chicken was good. Plenty of chicken. Could have been seasoned a bit more but was fine. I will return. read more

This is a very casual restaurant. There is no ambience - it's just a big room with tables. There are a few outdoor tables too. You place your order at the counter and they deliver to your table. Service was passable. My sister ordered the chicken soup but it was so salty she sent it back. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was served in a large bowl and was mostly noodles - way too soft noodles. The chicken pieces tasted steamed and almost melted in your mouth. They had no seasoning and no flavor. The sauce, on the other hand, was tasty with capers, tomatoes, and artichokes. I also ordered a not so good cabernet that was served in a very small glass. It was pricey at $20 for a very mediocre meal. I most likely will not return again. read more

The pizza was delicious, especially the buffalo chicken one. The darth vader cups were a disappointment though. They seem to be normal cups that are colored grey rather than the normal white cups. read more

Holy Cannoli's!!! An awesome lunch choice. The prices are fair, store extremely clean and staff are very polite. I had the anti-pasta salad and it was the best I've ever had. Very ingredient was fresh including the homemade bread and dressing included with my meal. The portion size was just right. Even the sweat tea was perfect! I would definitely recommend coming here if your in the area. Large selection of pasta, salads, pizza and OMG deserts! read more

Love the chicken parmigiana! Tastes so authentic and delicious! I love having this gem close by! You can order to go or dine in. It is such a lovely place and has so many different foods. read more

Basilico is so delicious! I'm giving it 4 stars because the food is amazing every-time but I went in the Harrison crossing location twice & both times the cashier was AWFUL! I never complain about people because I know we have bad days sometimes but both occasions she was sarcastic and just plan rude! I wasn't feeling well the 2nd visit so I was kind of out of it I asked a question and she laughed and answered like "duh what do you think" things like this make me not want to give my money to the business no matter how great the food is. read more

I've been to this restaurant 3 times with my friends who are super picky about food. If they chose it, it has to be top-notch! Each time I was there, I enjoyed the high-quality food that looked as great as it tasted. Since most Italian restaurants include cheese as an ingredient in almost all the selections, I was happy to see that this restaurant has some that are cheese-free. I had the delicious Chicken Cacciatore during one visit and the flavorful Citrus Grilled Chicken recently. The 1st time I went, I had a large piece of scrumptious Coconut Cake. The employees were all super nice, friendly, and competent, which is unfortunately rare at restaurants in the area currently. Now this is a favorite, and I will definitely go back again at this one or the new one on Harrison Road! read more

I haven't made a review lately, but now that I am living in Fredericksburg I decided for my first unfortunate review. I really want to like this place and have gave it 3 1/2 tries. The first time I ordered some delicious looking dessert and they put the wrong cake for my child bday. They did fix the order when I came back, so I thought it happens. The second time I waiting in line for 15-20 min and again waited for my order 30min(Togo). The place was empty so I did not understand why. The third time the same exact thing happen, so I decide to either order online or go somewhere else for pasta. The 1/2 time happen today, I was waiting for about 15 min to order already made dessert and I wasn't even helped. The food is good here do not mistake that, it's not wait for almost an hour good though. While having good food is important the service is lacking here... read more

Love this place! Went on a date with my now husband 5 years ago. Have been back several times since. Great place for lunch or dinner as they have a sandwhich and soup or salad combo,italian plates and pizza. The strombolis are huge! And the best part is the dessert cabinet. Anything from gelato and milkshakes to blueberry lemon mascarpone and cappuccino cake. Always fresh and delicious! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to an appointment. Their breakfast menu is small but it definitely works best that way. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious and out in 5 min. They practice social distancing the entire time and take clear precautions when handing over your order. Plus $8 for two awesome breakfast sandwiches is hard to beat. read more

Love this place, they are not fast but they are worth the wait. Really really good, deserts are all great, cakes wonderful. Just a nice place with reasonable prices. read more

Great spot. Tried the pasta bowl with penne, vodka sauce, and spicy sausage. It was perfect. The margarita pizza and the avocado, mozzarella and tomato appetizer were also amazing. I would definitely come back. read more

A disappointment for sure. We ate there a while back and the food was blah. Might have caught them on an off day, will give them another try. read more

As soon as I stepped into Basilico, I was immediately impressed. The staff was very welcoming , friendly and helpful for this lady who was hungry but not sure what she wanted . Everything sounded good and they had a lot to offer . I was advised to try the chicken parm and I am so glad I did ! It was perfectly crispy, yet tender , and a great portion size . The sauce on top was delicious as well. I loved that they had a wine selection , and a-lot of variety to choose from. I of course couldn't leave without dessert . It was very tough to decide what to try because they all looked amazing. I tried both the tiramisu and the 7 layer hazelnut cake , which were both a perfect end to a great meal . It looked like they offered specialty coffee as well . I will absolutely be back ! Especially to try the gelato and pizza that looked amazing . read more

I think Basilico gets a lot of hype from those who rave about their dessert options but I'm simply not a "sweets" person, so this is a savoury review. I've been a few times before and have eaten both their pasta and lunch options/combos, so that's mainly what I've rated them on. Their pasta sides could do with a little tweaking (olive oil and vinegar does not a "Tuscan Pasta Salad" make- where are the fresh herbs and spices?) but their sandwiches are always huge and packed with amazing, bold flavours! Their Carbonara is to-die-for and better than I can make at home (which is why I order it from here) and their Berry Fruit Tart is truly out of this world! So, while I can't give them 5-stars, I CAN and WILL recommend that you check them out because they're doing Italian better than any other little bistro in the area! SIDE NOTE: I do wish that they would update their online delivery to reflect actual mileage... I live within their "mileage" delivery range but they refuse to deliver to me because I'm "over the bridge" - whatever that means (minus 1 whole star for this). read more

This cafe is perfect for small meals - and on the go! Pizza is always good - black bean soup one of the local best! Desserts on point as well. Can go wrong with lunch here read more

Excellent food and great service. Reminds me of my youth growing up in Brooklyn, NY. Highly recommended.

My friend and I stopped for lunch recently. I had a meatball sub (huge and delicious) and she had chicken pesto which she said was good but not great. But what I would like to note was how extremely nice and helpful the staff was. It was evident they wanted to please and made us very welcome. Thank you! read more

Italian deli with all kinds of inventive, and delicious offerings. The deserts are to die for. Also love the pork sandwich with carmelized onions........yummy. read more

It's one of my most favorite spots. Great food, friendly service, and overall enjoyable experience every time!

I have been here a few times. The pizzas are amazing. What makes this place even more amazing are their gelatos and desserts. It is always difficult to select, because EVERYTHING looks amaZing! Kind of weird dynamic, where you order at counter instead of table, but that is minor. I will keep coming here for their amazing food. Thanks!!! read more

OMG, so delish. We had them cater an event and it was totally awesome. Will def be back when in the area. The tiramisu is to die for.

Oddly enough I thought I would be wow'd by the food, but I wasn't. In fact, I'm actually quite disappointed if you ask me. I got the Italian hero (another name for a sub) with their macaroni and cheese. I originally had the Tuscan pasta salad, but the cashier persuaded me otherwise. The macaroni and cheese is very rich but it all coagulated to the Tupperware. I felt it was also stingy because even though it was a side, the portion was really small. The sandwich I got is long but not very big, as in not having much inside. I didn't get it toasted as I know it can taste just as good cold, which it did. Unfortunately, the bread was not flavorful at all. It was edible, but not memorable. If I were to try it again I think I would try something else on the menu. But for a first time, not impressed. read more

The service and staff are very attentive, the food was mediocre, not what I expected to include the cannoli.

Great food. Service is great most of the time. Some of the younger staff can be rude but the older staff are always great.

The Mrs and I love this place for take out. Food is always really good. The Chicken Parm is my favorite.
