was excited to finally try the infamous Chicken Caesar Wrap since this spot is right next door to Basilico. I ordered it with grilled chicken and added bacon. Overall, I would give it an 8 out of 10. It was a delicious wrap with great flavor and a good portion size. I also tried the mozzarella sticks. They tasted good, but they were not quite hot enough, so there was no cheese pull. The service was really good and everyone was friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back and try more items from the menu. read more

My boyfriend and I visited 2 Sundays ago. We were very excited to finally eat here. We had tried once before but they were packed and the hostess suggested a reservation. After all that waiting it was mid. Very basic. Did not live up to the hype AT ALL. Tik tok fooled me. Noodles were over cooked and mushy. One of my cheesesticks had no cheese. Garlic knots...meh. The Caesar salad was good. Drinks are a no for me. Our waitress sucked she kept going missing and had to ask other people to get her for us and she kept forgetting stuff. Good size portions tho. Customer service is lacking for sure. For the price the food should be so much better. Yeahhhh... I dont think i would go back here even if someone else was paying. read more

Stopped by Basilico Italian for lunch and had to try the popular Chicken Caesar Wrap after seeing it so many times online. It definitely lived up to the hype! I had the fried chicken inside.. the wrap had a good crunch from the lettuce and croutons, and the perfect amount of Caesar dressing. The lunch service was quick and friendly. Definitely want to go back and try their pastas. read more

The food was amazing, the bartender was busy & still was attentive. The ambiance was good. I went right as they opened and sat at the bar. The wait wasn't long for those wanting to sit at tables. The food came out hot & fast with no issues. The only issue was not being offered garlic knots at the bar as no one sitting at the bar had any. read more

Went on a Friday night with a reservation. We were seated in a timely manner and our server was quick and attentive. A noticeable difference from what is sometimes a much slower service. I ordered the chicken piccata and I think with any really sauce heavy dish, angel hair can be a gamble because the temperature of the sauce combined with the weight of the sauce I feel can sometimes cause such a thin pasta to get too soft? Same for the light breading on the chicken, it gets a little soft and everything feels quite one note but I recognize that this is a preferable outcome for some! (Read Bon Appetites article on the phenomenon "Crispy Gone Soggy") The flavor was good overall, it was lemony and tangy, perfect level of salt, the sauce wasn't too thick or thin. I think for me the pasta was a hair too soft and the chicken, while moist and perfectly cooked, had absorbed more sauce than preferable, causing it to lose any textural difference it might have had prior to reaching the table. Overall, not a bad dish by any means. Might not be my thing personally but it was nice to try! read more

This place was hyped all over social media, so of course we had to try it. The cheese sticks? 10/10 honestly the most flavorful thing we ordered. And my limoncello spritz was so good. The chicken bacon ranch pizza unfortunately fell a little flat not much flavor. And they forgot my salad until we were basically done with the pizza + app, so I had a few bites and took the rest to-go. Overall experience: 4/5 good, but not quite the wow I was expecting. read more

TikTok showed us the way and are we glad we made the drive. Ms Hailey took care of us from the moment we sat down. From recommendations to desserts, we told her our picks and she steered us right into these - 1. Meatballs - absolutely delicious, large amount of ricotta and a scoop with a bite was the perfect flavor! 2. mega mozzarella stick - hubs choice - the cheese pull was wild and the taste was great (our preference was the sauce with the meatballs over the marinara sauce) 3. Chicken Caesar wrap - absolutely delicious, the reason we drove 85 minutes down I-85 and tiktok made viral. 4. Pesto Vodka Chicken - hubs said was great, my half is in the box heading home (so full) Highly recommend and we will be back - don't let the overall rating fool you, the food is delicious, fresh and full of flavor. read more

Our First dine in experience! I did take out here a while ago. But it was one of those days that I skipped a review in my experience since I was just hangry. Lol. I've been meaning to bring the husband here for dinner. So we made plans to dine here Friday night. I made reservations to be safe. Since I saw when I picked up the food that one time. It was packed! I was surprised when we went to check in with the host that it wasn't too crowded and the bar was somewhat empty. So we just sat at the bar. Which was great. We got a great view of the bar and the restaurant set up. Our bartender was great and friendly. I had a glass of wine and my husband had Miller lite. .We started with the rice ball. And wow it was big! A prefect start to dinner. I had the flavorful pesto pasta and I added a meatball. Super yum! I had to take half of it home. My husband loves fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. He was impressed! He finished it all! Also it was nice that the pasta came with a side. I chose a side salad. Super fresh! And the prefect size l! My husband would have liked more of their Caesar dressing for his salad but overall it was good. They do have home made desserts here if that's your thing. I'm the kind of person who will plan my dessert before I pick the entree. So of course I was going to try their delicious tiramisu! Can't go wrong with that Oh and i had to try their espresso martini. It was okay. read more

I've been hearing good things about this restaurant so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the lasagna (only available on Sundays) and it came with a side so I chose the caprese salad. Both dishes were good. Everyone raves about the chicken Caesar wrap (only available during lunch) so I might need to make another trip to give that a try. The restaurant has a neighborhood feel about it. Plenty of parking. read more

My wife and I came here for lunch since we wanted to tey a new spot. She heard about these massive mozzarella sticks so we tried that. 8t was pretty good, not as much flavor as I was expecting, but the marinara was really good. The pizza was a bit of a let down as it was fairly bland, I was expecting more flavor but it just didn't deliver. My wife enjoyed her mixed drink and I thought the service was really good and the place was clean. 8d go back and and try something new, but would like to see some more robust flavors. read more

Phenomenal! We got take out from here & let me tell you it did not disappoint. My husband devoured the Chicken Bruschetta instantly. The SIDE goat cheese strawberry salad was a generous portion & was amazing. I should of gotten the SMALL spaghetti with Mariana instead of the large because it was HUGE! I will be eating on this all week! 10/10 could not recommend more. We will definitely be back. read more

Made reservations a couple hours before visiting Basilico on a recent Friday night. They were very busy, I will note, and I was thankful for the rez. However, I wish that our table was not at the very front of the restaurant right in front of the host/hostess stand because the area surrounding the host stand is practically nonexistent so any waiting customers are basically standing at your table. This friday night they had a live performer singing and playing guitar so if that's not your thing, avoid Friday nights. We placed a calamari order for our appetizer but I don't recommend you doing so. The calamari was so chewy and barely any seasoning detected on the batter. The complementary garlic knots were welcome but they barely had any garlic seasoning! I ordered the bruschetta chicken - which does not come with any noodles or sides - and my bf ordered the chicken piccata. He was disappointed that the piccata was so soupy but said it was edible. My bruschetta chicken was delicious and I didn't even miss the noodles. They should add some balsamic glaze to really set it off. read more

Basilico Italiano is everything you want in a classic Italian spot--warm, inviting, and absolutely delicious! I am a huge fan of the blackout curtains & the dim dining room lighting. I tried the baked ziti and the chicken parm, and both were outstanding. The baked ziti came out hot, smothered in rich marinara and plenty of gooey melted cheese. The pasta was cooked tender but not overdone--and the sauce had that homemade flavor you can't fake. It's hearty, cheesy, and full of comfort in every bite. The chicken parmesan was just as impressive. The chicken cutlet was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and topped with the perfect balance of sauce and cheese. The portion was generous and satisfying, especially with the side of pasta. Our waitress was Zoe. She was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. If you're craving authentic Italian comfort food, Basilico Italiano will save the day! read more

I came here for the first time on a Sunday in May trying to get their Caesar Chicken Wrap but found out they only serve it at lunch Tuesday-Saturday. I came back that Tuesday after placing and order over the phone. Their parking lot no matter what day of the week is always jam packed. But when I went in to get my order there literally was no one in there. The hostess said it's due to the doctor's offices in the same shopping center. The wrap was the delicious but the fries didn't hold up well for me. The house-made Caesar is so good and doesn't contain eggs. I went back a month later to get it again. This time I placed it online & got to see the many side options they have and joined their rewards program. I've tried twice since then to get them again, once for online order (1hr wait) and another for a reservation (Saturday 2 hour wait) but haven't had them since because the Wraps went viral. Hopefully I can get it again soon! read more

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and was craving the viral best Caesar salad wrap in Charlotte! However, the craving hit me on a Sunday, when the wrap is only available lunch time thru Saturday. That don't stop us for getting our Caesar fix! We had the kale Caesar with breaded chicken (the crunchy chicken and crunchy croutons were spot on!), order of meatballs (I'm a sucker for a dollop of ricotta) and the fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken. Definitely a Sunday lunch well spent on their patio. We will definitely be bringing the family back. read more

Had a lovely experience here with my mom for lunch. The service was a bit slow, but very friendly and maybe a bit understaffed. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Started with garlic knots and a Caesar salad. So good. The sauce with the knots was fresh and the Caesar dressing was really good. For mains I got the chicken Caesar wrap (I think only available for lunch) and my mom got the chicken piccata. Both were very good! This is a casual restaurant for some solid, but not amazing, classic American Italian food. It hit the spot! read more

After hearing all the rave, we decided to try Basilico on a Sunday. We heard that's the only day lasagna is served, so it's only right we go then. We were seated quickly, a dim atmosphere, great customer service from the time we arrived until we left. Started off with a fresh basket of garlic knots, they lacked flavor and tasted bland. Then ordered mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, they were fresh, flavorful and crispy. The marinara sauce complimented them well. Our side salads were fresh, and I opted for ranch dressing instead of Italian. Lasagna for the main entree, it was a big portion and piping hot. My overall experience was a good one, I would only suggest that the food be seasoned a little more to avoid the blandness. I will definitely be back to try again. Can't forget my delicious glass of peach moscato! read more

If you love authentic Italian then you must try Basilico-Italiano. I chose to go on a Sunday for lunch to try their homemade lasagna. It is made on Sundays only. Appetizers are also half price from 12-4 on Sundays. My 6 year old can make a meal of meatballs, so we started with the large order of baked meatballs. When they arrived I could not believe they were the size of baseballs and beyond exceptional. Probably the best meatballs I have had at a restaurant in Charlotte. Our server, Michael paced the arrival of our plates perfectly and was attentive. The restaurant itself was cozy and reminded me of the Italian restaurants were have been to in NY. My Mom and I chose to share a small order of bruschetta and a small harvest salad. Both were fantastic! Finally we all split a small order of lasagna. We were stuffed and there was still half of the plate of meatballs left and half of the lasagna. All will be delicious leftovers. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their amazing menu. read more

Dined as a 3 on a Wednesday Evening (1/2 off wine bottle special advertise).. Inside outside tables available. There was live music inside with only two tables available so we took our party outside. We were introduced to and served by Rachel who was extremely personable and friendly. We even caught a special greeting from the owner. The menu is expansive with single servings or larger portions for family style. Ceasar salads and garlic knots all around (not a kale fan), meatball parmigiano, caprese salad, chicken tuscano and chicken picata both with linguine. We thought everything was delicious and plentiful and will be looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. So many desserts to choose from but unfortunately no room. Enjoy! read more

This is the second time this year I've tried to give this place a chance, and both times I've left frustrated. I love the food, but the service is consistently poor. Most recently, I asked to sit outside--there were only two occupied tables--but was told it would be a 30-minute wait. We sat at the bar instead and were repeatedly overlooked. The bartender took care of others around us but never came back to take our dinner order after the appetizer. I had to mention it myself, and even then, nothing happened. I want to support local, but I won't go through this again. I'm done. read more

I went to Basilico-Italiano with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon. There were not a lot of people there so we were seated immediately and sat outside on a really pretty day! The staff was extremely nice and welcoming and we had a great time. I ordered the Bianca with mushrooms added. It was okay, but just felt like it needed some more seasoning and flavoring. The garlic knots were good as well, but also felt it could be a little more flavorful. Overall, this was a good place and I would return, but might try something else. read more

Amazing food and amazing service food is worth the hype pizza is good as well as pasta, the garlic nots top tier

Another great meal at Basilico. It was a comfortable temperature so we enjoyed dinner on the patio. Their garlic knots always satisfy and on this visit we started with fried mozzarella - great seasoning and a nice breading to cheese ratio. The veal parm reminded me of the large, breaded, tender veal I would enjoy and crave as a child. The meatballs had good flavor and the pasta had a good amount of sauce - not too little but not swimming. Basilico impresses with their classic dishes and continues to be one of my favorite neighborhood Italian restaurants. read more

We arrived around 8 PM on a beautiful Wednesday evening, excited to finally try this place after seeing it on TikTok. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match the hype. After being seated, we waited over 20 minutes without any acknowledgment from a server. The waiter assigned to our area (Troy) completely overlooked us, despite actively serving the table right next to us. I eventually had to get up and ask for assistance, letting two staff members know we had been waiting. They apologized, and someone who appeared to be part of the kitchen staff stepped in to help. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, and our meals all at once to try to move things along. While the food itself was fair, the service continued to fall short. Complimentary bread that other tables received early on didn't arrive at our table until we were nearly finished eating. One of our side dishes was forgotten entirely, and our drinks sat empty for long periods. What stood out most was the inconsistency in service. A waitress named Rachel was attentive, friendly, and clearly on top of her tables--I actually had to ask her for refills since our server was absent. It's disappointing because we intentionally chose this restaurant for a nice evening out, especially on such a perfect 84-degree night. While the food was decent, the lack of service and attention really took away from the overall experience. read more

We eat at this restaurant regularly. I forget to take a picture every time! The service is always excellent. We come with our kids and they're always so accommodating. The atmosphere isn't super kid friendly with the dark lights vibe but nevertheless they're always open for us bringing the toddlers! It's always packed when we go. We get pretty much the same time every time we go and it never fails. The garlic knots are delicious. Chicken parm is a classic. Chicken bacon Alfredo is so good, in fact I just finished my leftovers from last night which prompted my reminder for this review ;) the kids Alfredo my kids eat every time, which is saying a lot for two picky toddlers. I love the portion sizes for the cost, it's really worth it! The pizzas are great too, there are so many options. I've gotten the salmon before which is what I usually get because it's sooo flavorful and well cooked, but most recently I got the vodka pasta and it was fantastic. Definitely need to try this restaurant if you're considering! read more

In town to visit my college freshman at UNCC and was looking for a good Italian place to try for dinner. Basilico had a lot of good reviews on Yelp & Google so we decided to try it out. There is ample parking in this cute shopping center where Basilico was adjacent to a residential neighborhood. We did not have a reservation, but were able to be seated promptly at an outside table. It was a beautiful night. The restaurant was busy & lively with musicians playing. Our drink order was taken right away & garlic knots brought to the table. The sauce for the knots was very good. A slight delay on straws, but no big deal. I ordered the Cavatappi & Sausage with a wedge salad & my daughter ordered the Ziti in vodka sauce with fries. The wedge salad was very good topped with bacon & onion. Both main dishes were very good. We did not get the fries until after we were done eating & got another basket of knots. The fries were really good too. Due to the issues & delay we got a dessert on the house: tiramisu. It was amazing. Overall a solid place for a nice meal. Staff was friendly. Will definitely return when in the area. read more
