The place is beautiful! They did a great job with Holiday decorations. It wasn't too busy, which was nice since I couldn't place a reservation online (which isn't ideal when you're trying to make plans). The service was good and everyone was friendly. The food was decent, but it didn't impress. The pasta was al dente, and the chicken was juicy and crispy under a very generous serving of cheese. The penne left a little something up be desired. It was bland and missed the rich flavors. It felt watered down. The bread was soft and delicious, but the dipping sauce they provided was described as butter but was spicy for some reason. As someone who doesn't like spice, it was jarring and a little frustrating that there wasn't a warning and regular butter wasn't served with it.
Arrive around 3 with quick seating and initial service. There were only a few people in the restaurant when I arrived. After ordering appetizers they came out pretty quickly. But after that the food and service was pretty slim. The dip that came with the bread was terrible. The meatballs were basic in flavor and I wish they would have been warmer. The buffalo shrimp were basic as well. The lobster crab ravioli sauce was delicious however the pasta was not cooked long enough. It was the same with the mushroom pasta. It could have also been cooked longer. I also ordered a piece of cannoli cheesecake and it was just basic. I was hoping it was cannoli flavored but it just was topped with a cute cannoli. I would try the other deserts and pizza but as far as sit down service I don't know if I'll go back.
Ordered as takeout/delivery for a large group both times. Most people seemed to enjoy their food and the portions were pretty solid. We als each got a piece of bread. I ordered the greek spaghetti with chicken the first time and did not really like it, it was FAR too buttery and kinda flavorless honestly. The second time i got pasta primavera (penne) with chicken and it was super good. The vegetables were sautéed nicely and it was not too heavy. However the second time we got no bread which was so sad because the bread was yummy
Mediocre "pasta for lunch" dishes. The heaviest, toughest dinner roll ever, impossible to eat-- like, under baked on the bottom and then reheated in the microwave?. The loose baked ziti's tomato sauce tasted like tomato but was also reminiscent of canned tomato soup. Butterfield Chicken had rather firm onions and strangely way too many chicken chunks; quite bland. Caesar salad not tossed with dressing but a thin version of the dressing was served on the side; thinly sliced Romaine made it a struggle to get a decent forkful. The bruschetta app tasty though dominated by a raw-garlic note.
Last minute pizza take out order called in from the mall. Ordered veggie and Mediterranean pies. The order was ready in 25 minutes, perfect crusts, not smothered with cheese and so flavorful and satisfying! Can easily become a default pizza ordering place for us!!
My sister and I met one of our cousins and his wife at this restaurant that they selected for dinner. It was a great choice! Service was outstanding. I ordered the Lasagna and my sister ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. My cousin's wife ordered the Chicken Pitca and he ordered the Shrimp salad. Everyone loved their food. My cousin and his wife come here often. We ordered Fettuccine Alfredo to go for my granddaughter. She loved her food as well.
Busy but able to get a table for 1 quickly. Servers and staff stayed super busy, quickly moving around to clean tables and prep for the next party. I chose the lobster ravioli and it was fantastic! Not a dish I go for usually but looked good and it lived up to the pictures. Great bread along with the meal which was a great dip with the leftover sauce. Would visit here again!
When I write a review, I usually will compare the restaurant to what they state they are trying to do and let that be the judge. One example of that would be Waffle House compared to a more upscale brunch restaurant such as Another Broken Egg. They each have their lane and stay in it such that it is not a precise comparison to view them as two breakfast places. They are each striving to serve a different clientele. Thus, if Basilico is working towards being the best Italian restaurant in town, they have a long way to go. The space seemed recently refurbished and was brightly candlelit or soft lighting. It was an early dinner for us, around 6:30. Several family members of the restaurant staff, some small children, were at the first couple of tables, dining and caring for an infant. Lot's of foot traffic in and out for carry-out pizza. My dad had the lasagna and a salad. Both were just okay. The lasagna sauce did not have the depth of flavor that we expected. I had chicken Marsala, which was very salty and the sauce was not the silky Marsala expected (because of their ambition) but rather was thin and watery. The portions were generous and we had enough to share. The staff was attentive. I could recognize that they have positioned this space for private events or receptions. Overall, it was just three stars, okay. I personally have no reason that I would come back here for Italian food. There are many better options in town. That said, for a quick bite, near the hospital or when passing by, this will do. It's just not on that next level.
Great spot real Italian not tha fake stuff real deal authentic definitely a must go to if you are in the upstate no olive garden no carrabas or any of that chain stuff stop by here
Probably the best Italian restaurant I've been to in terms of food taste. They actually know how to cook al dente pasta. Note: This is extremely rare. Most restaurants, baffling enough, cannot. The service was prompt and the food brought in a reasonable time frame. This is a nicer location with more of a date feel to it. You get a basket of bread with sauce. They have some vegetarian options but it's not clearly labeled. The boom boom shrimp was good. The breading was such that you could eat the tail no issue. The chicken alfredo was much lighter than typical so it doesn't sit as heavy on your stomach. The eggplant parmigiana was cooked well. Crisp enough to not get too soggy. House salad is alright. The Caesar salad is good but only use like half of the sauce provided. Noodles for both were seasoned correctly. We both left satisfied in non-bloated.
Solid spot to grab a meal if you're in the mood for Italian. Came on a Saturday night & we were sat quickly by a friendly staff. I will say once your food comes, there's not much service after that. Could be a good or a bad thing depending on what your preferences are. For the starter we were brought bread & a creamy sauce that was actually pretty tasty for being the free portion of the meal (lol). We also decided to try the sampler which includes mozzarella cheese puffs, fried ravioli toscana, & chika strips. Very, very tasty & would recommend. For our entrees we ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli - very rich creamy alfredo sauce that was absolutely delicious & the Chicken Parmigiana that was very filling & had a nice crispy outside but was still tender on the inside. Only reason i'm giving this 4 stars is because it does seem slightly overpriced for what you're getting food wise. I've been to some higher end Italian restaurants that were priced about the same. Either way I'd recommend others to try it for themselves.
I went out to eat on my birthday, July 12 to eat an early dinner at the Italian restaurant Basilico Greenville. I've passed by it many times, and I wanted to try it. It was the place I wanted to eat dinner for my birthday. We met at Basilico at 4 pm and it wasn't crowded. It's not a very big restaurant, but they do well with the space they do have. After 5 pm the amount of people increased and the noise level was high, there was a group of people that were very loud. Our server Olivia was nice and friendly, she brought our appetizers and entrees out quickly. My niece ordered the Basilico sampler with fried ravioli, chicken strips and mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce. The appetizer was ok, nothing I would order again. For my entree I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo with the house salad and ranch dressing. The sliced chicken was tender there was plenty of Alfredo sauce, the pasta was cooked the way I like it, it was an enjoyable dish, but not outstanding( The Trex Cafe prehistoric pasta is still fresh in my mind, was "the bomb" sorry for the comparison). The salad was swimming in water at the bottom of the salad bowl. The bathroom had no hand soap, my niece arrived before the rest of the party to get a table l, she told management at 3 pm that the soap dispenser was out. I went to the restroom at 6 pm STILL NO SOAP. Some of my family said they would come back again, I'm not sure that I will. It was nice dining with family on my birthday, but I'm still undecided about another visit.
I have only been to Basilico once recently at lunch. The ambiance in the restaurant is nice. The waitstaff were helpful. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza and a small antipasto salad. The salad was great. It had mozzarella cheese , tomatoes, pepperoni, black olives and salami. The Greek dressing was great. The pepperoni pizza was so-so. The sauce and cheese were tasty but...there was way too much raw flour on the bottom of the pizza crust which gave the pizza a weird taste. I hope this was just a mistake and it is not always like this. I saw a lot of people ordering the pasta at lunch time. I will try the pasta instead of pizza next time we go. read more
First visit. Lunch for 11. We had a reservation for 11.30am. Table was ready and nicely presented , water and place mats were on the table. The restaurant got very busy and loud very quickly. We had to wait a while before our orders were taken so asked for some bread. We received nice warm bread with a Mediterranean dip. They serve a lunch special with Entree Salad and drink(soda) included for $13.99. You had a choice of Cesar or Garden salad. Both were delicious and fresh. Entrees were also good. Lasagne, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatball sub and fries. Everything was fresh and tasty. 20% Tip was automatically added to our check as it was a large party and 3% if you paid by credit card. We had a great time and loved the food read more

What a fantastic experience we had here. My husband and I came here for a much needed date night and left here happy and satisfied customers. Our server was attentive and genuine. She was helpful when it came to ordering our appetizers too. We ended up ordering the fried ravioli and the calamari, both of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. Then, my husband and I split a pasta dish that was not on the menu, but something we were craving to a T. It was spaghetti dish with clams, tossed with a garlic butter sauce. That meal was simple, light and elegant in every way, truly delicious and everything I've been craving for. Finding an Italian restaurant that serves such a good dish is a lot harder to come by these days. This place totally met and exceeded expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for great Italian cuisine. read more

Was in the area and looking on Yelp. Found this quaint spot with amazing authentic ITALIAN food! If you want non chain and amazing offerings then try this place! It won't disappoint! Came in for lunch. They have weekly lunch specials that you won't need to feel by portion size you walk away hungry. The cost for lunch is worth it! read more

This is a nice, quaint place with Italian music playing in the background. It reminds me of OG in that, but Basilico has it down when it comes to service and food. First of all, I usually don't eat the bread when I go to a restaurant. But their bread is everything you want In fresh baked bread. Slightly crispy/chewy flavorful crust protecting a warm, fluffy interior. This spread is absolutely amazing. I actually asked for more bread because I didn't want any of this amazing spread to go to waste! It's creamy, but with the slight tang of feta and a little bit of heat. I decided to order my go to favorite, Chicken Picatta for my entree and it came with a huge side salad. You definitely won't leave hungry. The salad dressing was very good and definitely tastes fresh made and re-packaged "bottle " dressing. Now for star of the show, Chicken Picatta. 2 thin perfectly cooked pieces of chicken breast. Lightly breaded and browned then tossed with the classic lemon and capers sauce over al dente spaghetti noodles. This was such a comfort dish. The sauce was both light and luxurious in the way it clung to the pasta. I even used the bread to soak up some of sauce. I will definitely be dining here again. I can't wait to try something different next time. read more

Really good pasta that tasted homemade. The sauce was rich and well seasoned and the cheese melted beautifully into everything. I liked the little touches like the fresh basil on top. The place was small but charming. Staff made sure we had everything we needed. read more
This place probably has the most authentic pasta you can get in town. The bread you start off with is just an amazing opener for what's in store for the rest of the meal. I started out a Caprese Salad. It was good and tasted fresh. I got just pasta with marinara sauce and it was the best! You can tell that they make it in the restaurant and it's nothing near store bought. The flavors were probably the best and I've been to more than one Italian restaurant in town. I believe personally that the star of the night was the cheesecake though. If anything make sure and save room for dessert. The cheesecake was so light and airy. It wasn't to sweet but just sweet enough too. I could honestly just go for desserts it was that good. Overall it was a great experience and just make sure and save room for dessert! read more

THIS IS 100% A GEM hidden off behind the mall I am not a fan of Italian food, but I headed to Basilico on a whim and I walked away a changed man. The Good * Service that deserves 5 stars * Stunning atmosphere inside the restaurant * Huge portions * IMMENSE flavors (from the free bread to the main course) * Delicious cake (huge slices) * Reasonable prices * The owners are a very personable couple that were greeting guests the night I dropped by The Bad * The location is a bit small and can fill up quickly They need a bigger space so more people can enjoy this stunning restaurant and heavenly cuisine! read more
Went today for lunch. SUPER SLOW SERVICE. There were only two tables and it's like the server could not handle more than one table at a time. Husband ordered cheese ravioli and that's why this visit received an additional star, he said it was delicious. I ordered the red snapper piccata and it was decent. We both ordered desert. My husband is Italian and loves his Tiramisu, he gave theirs a 4.5 out of 10. I ordered the chocolate cake and left the wasted calories at the table. But they were pretty. Will not return. read more
I came here for date night with the hubs and we did have reservations. They were pretty busy. We got sat right away. I noticed they run by you having a server and someone going around refilling drinks and serving your food. I am not a fan of this at all. We didn't get drinks for a while or greeted. We finally got waters and the complimentary spread and bread. We did order our food. We started off with the calamari. It was good but could be seasoned more. I decided to get the butterfield chicken pasta. It was very heavy and filling. My husband got the penne al la vodka with chicken and it was pretty good. Side salads came with both of our meals. Service was very slow and non existent at this point. My drink was completely empty and I had to stop someone and ask for more. Our server did come around and my husband ordered a wine. He did NOT get his wine. And our server wasn't around for us to mention anything. Once we got the check she did realize he ordered the wine because she saw it sitting at the bar. We got the cannoli to go which I would pass on because it was way too chocolately. I don't have a desire to come back here unless someone wanted to go. read more
We were excited to find an upscale Italian restaurant in Shops by the Mall near Haywood Mall. Hubby, the mother-in-law and I went for a late afternoon lunch (3 pm) on a Tuesday afternoon. Besides a Mom/toddler, we were the only ones there at this odd time. We were served some fresh warm bread which was delicious. The hubby and I had the house salad. It seemed a good start to the meal. The hubby had baked spaghetti. He said it was ok but the sauce was bland and not that impressive. The mother-in-law had a grilled chicken salad. I had the ravioli special. I liked the sauce on my ravioli but I could not taste the shrimp and crabmeat filling. Overall, it was a nice ambiance and the portions were good. However, I felt it was a little overpriced. The server didn't tell us about the specials-I had to ask. I had a good look at the Chef's Special sign as I was leaving. I wish the server would have focused on those because I probably would have ordered something different. read more

Pizza was the cuisine of choice and we opted for Basilico. We went with the basic pepperoni, choosing the 16in to share rather and individual pizzas. It was huge but thin crust so we nearly ate the whole thing. They poured a hearty glass of wine and beer was cold. Service started a bit slow but picked up as we went along. The place had several larger groups at tables so it was a bit loud but full of energy. Good stop. read more
We wanted some pasta for the birthday girl and decided here instead of any of the other usual places like olive garden and cheesecake factory. BEST CHOICE. this place is entirely so fresh and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. They have complimentary bread with a small plated dip that is cheesy and delicious. For entrees we were not disappointed in the choices they have a good sized menu. All of our entrees came out to perfection and it's the best pasta we have ever had. They also came with salads prior. The service was also over expectations - we never had to ask for anything . I would say the ambiance is more romantic/fancy not casual. They also have a tasty dessert case. For the birthday - they offered a birthday cannoli. I would definitely try this place !! read more
