    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    We have eaten here a few times now and I have to say they are skimpy on the pizza topping! The crust is pretty good, but not $30 good...

    Widewater Grille - French toast - sorry we jumped into it before the picture lol

    I have been wanting to try this place on the recommendation of friends for a while, and finally did…read moretoday! I am so glad I did! I ordered the French Toast plate. It came with two slices of French toast with just the right touch of spices, home fries, and homemade sausage patties (way better than the greasy commercial ones!). I also ordered a plain latte, which was excellent. No notes. My mom (who is 82 and VERY particular) ordered the "Uncle Richard" plate that came with two eggs, choice of meat (ham), home fries, and choice of pancakes or French toast (she chose pancakes). She also reported everything was delicious. ("Although I would rather have hash browns." Sigh. It's always something, ain't it?) She also ordered plain coffee. For someone who does not like to deviate from DD Keurig coffee, she thought the coffee was "Very good!" Widewater Grille gets its Cuban beans directly from Key West. Mom also reported the Women's Restroom was very nice. So there's that for your consideration. We will definitely be going back. Mom (who hates leaving the house these days) even called a friend on the way home and said the three of us need to go together soon. THAT is a better rating than Michelin could even dream of giving.

    What a fantastic surprise!…read more My fiancé and I were in town visiting friends and originally planned to go to Waffle House for breakfast, but the wait was crazy. My brother, who lives in the Stafford area and is a serious foodie, recommended Widewater Grill. Honestly, it's the kind of place you could easily drive right past without realizing what you're missing. We are so glad we stopped. I had Uncle Richard's Breakfast with eggs, green peppers and onions, bacon, home-fried potatoes, and French toast. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. The home fries tasted truly homemade, which is harder to find than you'd think. The coffee was excellent, served in a real mug, and I loved being able to refill it myself. My fiancé ordered the 12-ounce strip steak cooked medium, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. He said it was cooked perfectly, which is something even many chain restaurants struggle to get right. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant has that local, family-run feel that immediately makes you comfortable. As a retired Marine family, we also appreciated the Marine Corps traditions and military pride displayed throughout the restaurant. Great food, great service, great conversation, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!
