Basilico serves amazing pasta dishes and then has the most delicious and exceptionally large selection of desserts such as my favorite the Apple Bread Pudding and Zucchini Bread (and so much more from cheesecakes to cakes and pies) to choose from including gelato!!! read more

Gave Basilico a try for the first time last night. Food was very good, employees were very friendly. Restaurant is very clean and roomy inside. They also have gelato and an amazing array of desserts. The only thing to be aware of is that it is not a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, they give you a number to put at your table, and they bring it to your table. Not a criticism...it just is. We will be going back. read more

We ordered chicken piccata and an avocado chicken chipotle sandwich with Mac and cheese on the side. First, the sandwich was missing avocado, second Mac and cheese had about an inch of grease at the bottom 3 i don't even know where to start with the "chicken piccata" .. I was so hoping this place would be good :( read more

First time trying this place out. I was a little overwhelmed about walking in and having to order right at the counter. I saw that they had a printable menu so you could sit down and look, but I didn't see it until after I panic ordered! I settled for a combo, half salad and a half sandwich. I guess I didn't read the small print where you had to be selective about the salad, so I ended up getting a Caesar salad and then I tried the chipotle avocado chicken sandwich. I also got a side of potatoes which were crispy and very delicious. The side costs extra, which was as bummer cause some places give you a side for free. The sandwich was good and had a huge chunk of chicken on it. The salad was fresh and crispy. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night, but there was plenty of seating. All of the staff that I encountered were very friendly, they were very quick to clean our table as we finished with dishes, and I also bought a piece of bread pudding to take home, which was amazing as well. read more

My first time at this location in Stafford but I've been to the one in Fredericksburg. Location was clean and the environment was serviceable. We ordered a couple pizzas which were decent but I would say slightly overpriced. What was definitely overpriced was a can of ginger ale was $3. That's crazy! What was disappointing was the level of service. It is a walk-up and order place and the person taking the order just stands there looking at you. Not a smile or welcoming demeanor. I'm overall, not terrible just not a high level of customer appreciation to me. Just my opinion. Your food has to be spectacular to overcome this level of service and then spin the screen around to request a tip. read more

I was recommended by coworkers to try it out. I have friends in town and we decided to try it out last night. Lots of items on the menu. We ended up with a calzone and the Greek pizza. I heard the calzone was delicious. Greek pizza was delicious. They have the pizza oven that goes in a circle. So that crust gets cooked good. The pizza was just like I had in Italy. The desserts were many and looked great. I'll be back to get that soon. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening. Ordered a Meatball sub with a side of Cole Slaw and a bottle of water. They give you a number to place on your table and I went and found a place to sit. Food was delivered to my table in about 10 minutes. Pretty solid Meatball sub. It was meaty, filling, and tasty. The Cole Slaw appears to be dressed with a vinegar-based dressing - it was somewhat underseasoned. It could've used some additional dressing as well. The menu has some interesting pizza combinations. I may try some of those in the near future. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. Overall, a good experience. #Basilico read more

Visited the restaurant for lunch. We were the first to arrive with clean tables and napkins stocked. The service was very good, the staff were polite and very attentive of our needs picking up plates and delivering our food quickly. We ordered some shareable appetizers and mostly sandwiches and salads. The sandwiches and salads were good and made as specified on the menu. The homemade meatballs were sub par and cheese sticks were oily. read more

I used to really like it here but I think it went downhill. I sent my soup and sandwich combo back the other day because the soup had been sitting in the window for so long it had suxh a skin/fil on the top! The chicken they used for the sandwich was only filling about half the bread. Oh well. My son likes the kids' pasta. read more

It was our first time visiting this place, me and the family decided to give it a try Saturday for lunch, and we were very glad we did. The employees were very nice and friendly and helpful we made the mistake of ordering from the take out kiosk and they let us know that we had ordered take out when I clarified that we wanted to eat in instead they were more than accommodating to our needs and quickly took care of our order. Food was very tasty and had a nice presentation as well, Italian food served quick. The place very clean and decor was so nice modern and well organized. We will definitely be coming back to give the rest of the menu a try also the pastries were delicious read more

Had a great visit to Basilico this week. The restaurant is a casual but upscale-leaning restaurant/ gelateria/ deli, with delicious food! They make the best pizza in the area- and it's european style! Service was great, the staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit! read more

The cashier was very friendly and made recommendations based on what I told her I could and couldn't have. I chose the 3 meatball appetizer. They are pretty big and a little tough so it was hard cutting into it without a knife. Then they were salty and I was sad. Here to hoping the cookie is good. read more

Amazing salads and the food is always delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh salads

We were excited to try Basilico after moving to Stafford. I was skeptical of one of the reviews that claimed that Basilico's makes a great crust because we are very picky about pizza. First of all, it has to be wood fired and basically the best or we won't come back. Well, we were so amazed to find the best pizza outside of D.C. right here in Stafford! They really know how to make pizza dough! Thank you for making a delicious thin crust and THANK YOU FOR HAVING BASIL! We LOVE BASIL!! We haven't tried their pasta yet, but we will! read more

Not good pizza period. $15 for a 12-inch cheese pizza and $18+ for 1 or 2 topping pizza with meat sparingly put on is never great math for Courtney. Especially when it's essentially like Sam's "Buy one, get one free!!" Pizza down the street where you can get two for essentially the same price. The mozzarella on the pizza was all-too brief highlight, sauce was savory, crust nothing to write about at all. Had very high hopes for the "newish" restaurant, which were ultimately drowned out by Basilico's symphony of failure. Will not return. read more

I was a little confused about the reviews because everyone seems to like it but to be completely honest the foods on the meh side nothing too special and it's also a little too expensive for what you get. Especially the pizza the pizza is really small for the price and again just meh. The desserts the first time I came were the best part but I went today which is a Friday and I got a mango cake which tasted heavy like cleaner or perfume and a tiramisu which wasnt sweet at all and the crème brûlée was the worst one it was like eating sweet scrambled eggs. I don't know if they have different people making everything but they got to sync up. Also they should bring down the price for what you get. read more

Service was great and the new store looks amazing. Only complaint is the food just wasn't the best. Not saying it was horrible, but it wasn't flavorful. It was bland. Reuben looked great but couldn't taste the thousand island dressing, had to ask for extra. Eggplant panini was missing some spice. Ordered pasta salad but received potato salad. Antipasto salad was beautiful but still not overwhelmingly delicious. Meats were hard. I would try again, but maybe the Fredbrg location. Ambiance was just fine. Gorgeous store and very roomy. read more

Basilico - Inside - Wraps Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

If you appreciate and like good New York style Italian food... COME HERE! I used to go down to the Basilico in Fredericksburg and then I saw that they were opening this location... Well, I just happened to go on the day they opened and it was spot-on! The dessert cases were loaded with amazing sweets! The menu is huge, offering lot of healthy options, in addition to the tyical items, like pizzas, subs, sandwiches, and pasta entrées. Service was great! From the person who took my order to the rest of the folks I encountered. The place has a nice sized dining room, which I'm sure will be packed once the word gets out that they're open now! My food was really good... The black bean soup was nicely flavored and loaded with fresh, tasty veggies and the Italian Here was perfectly prepared! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Good food, great pastries and good people. If you like a coffee and pastry this is a great place to visit.

Disclaimer, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in upstate NY with an Italian grandmother so I'm a little biased. That being said, I would say my meal was pretty much like something I would get in a cafeteria or a mall food court. I ordered a chicken Parm which in my mind is a standard and wished I hadn't. Dry and tough. Sauce was meh. I don't think I'll come again but the people next to me had pizza and it looked pretty good. Service was fine and polite. The place seems very clean but again has the ambience of a food court. This area isn't exactly known for good Italian, (pretty sure they spell it "Eye-talian") but I would choose something else. I gave it a three because of the service and cleanliness. If it was food alone it would be a two. P.S. I didn't try any of the desserts, cakes or cookies but they looked very good. read more

We have eaten at the one on Valor numerous times. We usually get the baked ziti pasta, pizzas and spaghetti carbonara. Some desserts from time to time. The staff is awesome. They do an excellent job being attentive and welcoming. The downfall, and it happened too many times now, whoever is making the pizzas, is not leaving them in the oven long enough. Far too many times the dough has been undercooked in the middle of the pizzas and it's such waste but the kids never want to say anything bc really it's just ruined and takes too long to get a new one. The location is always clean and always being cleaned. We will dine again and again, however I will be returning anything that is undercooked as it is too expensive not to be right. read more

This is our second visit and everything was great!! Real Italian cooking. Awesome place to bring the family for dinner. Save room for delicious dessert! read more

Basilico never disappoints! Prices are somehow the best I've seen for a little Italian place recently. I've been a customer for nearly a year now at the recommendation of my fiancée, and I'm so glad he introduced me. I am hard to please with Italian, but this place gets the job DONE! Love it. read more

We've been eating at Basilico at both their Fredericksburg and Stafford locations for years. Not wanting to make dinner at home this past Monday 7/28/25 we visited the Stafford Basilico for dinner. My wife ordered the chicken parmigiana and I ordered the Philly steak Stromboli. Our food arrived unusually fast, considering usually the Stromboli takes a while to prepare and bake. Then we discovered why so quickly. The chicken parmigiana looked like someone had sliced the chicken in thin slices, breaded them heavily, maybe ran over it with their car, before placing them in a pile in the refrigerator for a future order. Then the flat, over-breaded chicken slices were pulled out of the pile in the fridge, slapped them on a heavily oiled grill to warm, thrown into a bowl and slathered with cheese, red sauce and some spaghetti. My wife stared at the unappetizing mess and said "I'm not sure I can eat this!" I tried a piece of the chicken and I have to agree. Definitely not up to typical Basilico standards. And the reason I suspect my Stromboli arrived so quickly? I'll bet it wasn't made fresh, but frozen then baked, or maybe microwaved?? It sure didn't taste freshly made. The back of the Basilico uniform shirts say "Fresh" at the top. After our experience the other evening, I'd suspect that term shouldn't be used by them anymore. It's a shame. read more

Pastrami is my ultimate love, and this location did not disappoint!!! (I only like mustard and banana peppers on my sandwich) Customer service was outstanding, to say the least!!! From taking my order to handing me my order, you can see the care for customer service in them all!!!! read more

We absolutely love Basilicos in Fredricksburg, so we were elated that they were coming to Stafford. We ordered a Greek pizza (sub artichoke for spicy meat) and a Bruschetta pizza. I ordered online, and was told 20 minutes. The confirmation email was time stamped 5:04, I received a text at 5:09 that my order was ready. Less than 10 min? How were they ready? My husband went to pick up. He is very good about checking my pizza to make sure it's correct. My Greek had meat on it, he showed the employee, and also the ticket that said artichokes- no meat. The employee said "did you check bc we have messed up before?" My husband replied "many places mess up, I just want to fix before I leave." Now, he gets the pizzas and comes home. He opens his, which looks like just a pile of chopped tomatoes with some parm sprinkl on bread. I said, where is the balsamic that it said is on? There was not any. Both pizzas were beyond bland. For over $30 weeks had higher hopes. read more

I have been dining at the Cowan location for years upon years and was so excited that north Stafford was getting a basilico! I've eaten there twice so far both times were to go. Everything was 100% correct in each of our orders, which is amazing since usually a condiment or napkins at the very least, are missing fromm most to go orders i place. This location is just as good as Fredericksburg and it was so clean! The inside looks a bit like a different vibe but as long as their Mac and cheese keeps hitting like it does, i couldn't care less about the interior, to be honest. I highly recommend the Fontina Apple panini i always get it without the arugula because i detest warm or cooked greens. The Mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever tasted... and I love trying different macs so I'm no novice when it comes to this side dish. Their pastry display is the best around-- in not sure if they make the desserts all in house or outsource them, but either way, you can't go wrong. The tiramisu, Gelato, cheesecakes, danishes - all fantastic! read more

This family has always loved the other two Basilico locations and when the Stafford location opened up we were excited because it's closer to home. However, tonight my daughters fettuccini Alfredo had practically no sauce on the noodles and my dish was supposed to have ricotta cheese and there was none. Additionally there was very little eggplant in my dish as well. I hope the managers see this and correct the these deficiencies because we would like to keep this as a take out option but will stop ordering here if there isn't improvement in the quality. read more

Was craving a really good Deli Ruben, the kind with lots of good meat. Was very disappointed there was plenty of meat just didn't taste very good. The meat was kind of rubbery and had very little flavor the sauerkraut had no flavor also. The whole thing was basically flavorless. Even though I have never been to that location, I have been to the one by Mary Washington. I feel like over the years the food taste has gone down. I also got the corned beef and cabbage soup and it also didn't have much flavor. Had to dd a bunch of salt and pepper to eat it. Price was way to much for the food I received. I spent over 23$ for a sandwich a cup of soup. read more
