Excellent food and service! Definitely an elevated experience, and much more quality than we expected.

You can see I have previous 5-star reviews from 3 and 5 years ago about their pizza. I was in that area and ordered their Godfather Hero which was listed as $10.75 on their web menu (what swayed me over other places I was considering) so was surprised when it rang in as $13.52 ($12.75 actual price plus tax and credit card fee). I knew I was going to be disappointed as soon as they handed it to me and it felt like it was just a roll - when I got home sure enough hardly any meat and cheese. The flavor was good and the roll seemed like it would have had potential except it was over toasted and dry. I won't give up on them for pizza but would be hesitant to get another sandwich there - should have had twice as much on it at that price. read more

I had a bad experience here a few years ago but decided to give it another try. Ordered the chicken Marsala that I asked to remove the pasta and sub spinach. They charged us 5 bucks to sub the spinach. They gave us a small plate with lettuce as a salad. It was a pretty flavorless dinner. So disappointing! read more

Vodka pizza was great. However, I ordered chicken, bacon ranch. It was awful! Obviously, it has been sitting there a while. It was totally dry,awful. So, I went up to counter and asked for a new slice. I originally ordered buffalo chicken. There was none ready at the time. When I went back up, there was. I asked for that. The owner said no. So they offer me honey mustard? I said how about ranch. They reluctantly gave me a side of ranch. I poured the whole thing on the one slice. I had to cut it with utensils to eat. Half way through I bit into and chewed a prong of the plastic fork! That's how hard the pizza was! I went up to counter, the new young girl was speechless and the owner just looked at me with disgust. I told him I would not be back. He said 'oh well'!!! It's too bad because I really do like their pizza. I was treated so poorly, left a 20% tip and was disrespected over an older piece of pizza? Never going back. Hope it was worth losing business, in this economy, over an old slice of pizza! read more

When we moved here five years ago, Basilicos felt like a taste of home -- real New York-style pizza that was consistently delicious. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed, and it's just not the same anymore. This time we ordered a cheese pizza, an eggplant parm sandwich, and a garden salad. The pizza was the biggest disappointment. It had that cheap, oily mozzarella piled on top -- the kind that never really melts or breaks down no matter how much you chew. It also arrived ice cold and undercooked. The eggplant parm sandwich was, as my husband perfectly put it, "meh." Nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. The $9 garden salad was honestly the saddest part. It was small and underwhelming -- I've gotten more plentiful and fresher salads as a free side from a street cart. It's really disappointing because this used to be one of our favorite spots. The sauce and crust are still delicious, which makes it even more frustrating because the potential is clearly still there. But they really need to invest in better cheese and tighten up their execution. read more

The glasses and plates were not clean. The service was slow and failed to serve the bread and water, for which the table was set. The music was from a 1990's night club rather than for a nice dining experience. The Fetticinni Alfredo was made with Linguini! read more

Been eating here for years at both their old and newer location. Last visit before yesterday was last summer. Prices are up, a less than generous glass of wine $12.00. Two entrees, no bread and no salad plus a soda 75.00 without tip. When questioned waitress said she forgot the salads and offered to pack a couple to go. A mistake sure but not a deal breaker, it was the quality of the food that has gone downhill. Sorry, last visit. read more

The only reason this establishment is getting two stars instead of one is because the pizza is still outstanding. The service on the other hand was deplorable. When we entered this establishment, we made our way to the middle seating area with a podium that says "wait to be seated ". We stood there for six minutes while only one table was being used, and multiple employees walked right past us or looked at us and kept walking. There was no crowd, there was no line, just us. When we finally were seated, no one came over to the table for over 10 minutes. We promptly placed a pizza order to start, and drinks. We then had to ask for menus because our hostess did not give us any menus. One member of our party was diabetic and asked for an unsweetened iced tea. The other member has asked for water with lemon. The diabetic customer received an iced tea filled with sugar. When asked if this was sweet tea with sugar, our waiter replied "no it's unsweet that's how we make it". We asked him to check and he brought back an unsweet tea and apologized. When the food finally did arrive, it was well made, and tasty like always. However, the service was incredibly lackluster. Nobody came to check on us, nobody came to check on refills for drinks, and we had to ask twice for silverware. While we will continue to order food from this establishment, it will be a long long time before we return to this pizza place for a sit down meal. read more

This is their Tuscan Salad. It's listed as feeding two and is $17 after tax. First off I asked for dressing on the side which they did, but they also put it on the salad. Second the salad was hot, like it was baked. This caused the little amount of iceberg lettuce to wilt and become slimy. The wilting caused there to be a good amount of liquid on the bottom of the salad. It is also listed as for two and it wasn't enough for even one. I picked off the 4 oz of chicken (yes I weighed it) and tossed out the rest. read more

This place is Scranton's most hidden GEM! We love this place and celebrate special occasions here in the back room. Food, drinks and desserts are out of this world delicious. Would definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely terrible. I order the primavera and it came with spaghetti and had zero flavor. Salad was wilted and the bread was just gross. Who is the cook?? Clearly no idea what should be served at an Italian place. Sat at bar, bartender was terrible, it was as if she was doing me a favor by serving me. I don't know how this place stays open. Never again. read more

Food was great, there's no doubt about that. It took 30 minutes, but it was delicious. What isn't great is that the menu prices aren't updated and they don't tell you that everything is $10 more than what the menu says. We ordered a baked ziti pizza (which said $18 on the menu), and we were shocked when we were charged $28. We thought we had just misremembered the price on the menu, but after finding a picture of the menu online, we were correct in thinking that the pizza was $18 and not $28. Beware read more

One of our favorite pizza places in the area! We ordered the aranchini ball, fried calamari, cheese pizza, slices of vodka, ceasar, and white pizza. I have never had a chicken ceasar pizza prior than coming to this place and it is sooo good and filling! It really is enough for a meal in itself. I also ordered the gnocci to go and it was okay. It could have been because it was leftover and might taste better fresh. The red sauce was average. The only other thing to add and why I am not rating 5 stars is service was slow and she wasn't very attentive. We had to ask for napkins, plates, and cutlery after receiving our food and it just felt like we were there awhile. read more

Don't ask for tap water when you order food from the front counter. We got charged $3.38! Even after we bought a bottle of lemonade costing $4.38!!!! They did no refund our money after bringing this to their attention. Won't go again on principle even though food is good. Lousy business practice. read more

Service was ridiculously terrible and my pizza buckled up on me as soon as it came off the tray. Crust was thinner than paper read more

Two nights in a row. Had my suspicions after night one. Night two confirmed it.... Awesome place!!! Have not gone too deep into the menu but what I have had has been quite good. I travel for business and eat out often. Price, Portion, Quality is way better than most. Better than the food, price or awesome atmosphere is the Fantastic wait staff! One bartender and one server handled the entire restaurant with amazing attitude and friendliness, better than I have ever seen. I will be back... maybe tomorrow ! read more

Great food always!!! I love this place!!! I've eaten in and ordered take out and the food is always fantastic!!! read more

The food is awesome, they are more than just pizza, drinks are wonderful and the service is great.

We stopped in for slices on the go late on a Wednesday night. I've never had Basilico's before and just wanted to try it. It just wasn't good. The crust was too thin and tasteless. The sauce was tasteless too. I won't be coming back, it wasn't worth it. read more

First and last time here. We waited 15 minutes for a table because they were understaffed. The calamari had no taste or seasoning. We both ordered parm hero's. They were under sauced, under cheesed, and the protein was under seasoned and barely any meat existed (more Bread than anything). The "Meatballs" seemed to be prepackaged. Got tired of waiting for a drink refill and got my own from the fridge in the front. The bread used for the hero was the best part. Personally, we would NOT recommend this restaurant, nor will we ever try it again, as it is certainly not worth the money or time. If you are an Italian, especially an Italian from New York City, you will be HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. read more

Located in a crappy strip mall. Rear of restaurant is the bar area which has a cool NYC vibe with club music in the background. Eat in the bar area. Service was excellent! As I'm about to leave a 3 piece jazz ensemble begins to play but I wish I knew about it beforehand as I would have dined later. The Caesar salad was average but the house made dressing was great. The grandma pizza was good, mushroom and sausage, could have been better but they used canned mushrooms which made the pizza soggy. Overall a nice experience, will come again. read more

Pizzas are really great but ... don't order a pizza with olives unless you want your pizza with whole olives rather than sliced olives like the whole history of pizza has done in the past! Is this possibly a case of laziness or lack of training ? Secondly, the broccoli rabe panini is not a panini. at.all. It's served on a hoagie bread. Plus it comes with breaded chicken which is not described on the menu. read more

STEAMTOWN LOCATION $4 for a slice of pizza? tourist trap... There are no prices anywhere that I saw. The younger man leaning on the glass that the pizza is under just stood there staring at me. He finally mumbled something in my direction after about 2 minuets. This guys seems like he has an attitude problem? They act like you are inconveniencing them by walking into the restaurant. This place is preying on tourists with their high prices. Next time I will check out the other pizza joint inside the market place. -Bad service -Expensive -No prices on the wall read more

This is probably the best Italian restaurant in the greater Scranton area. They have a diverse menu. We enjoy their chicken francese, aroncinis and desserts. read more

Was treated as if I was annoying them by being there because I asked how much their specials were (that had no prices listed). The young man working the counter was all over the place and rude. He has no regard on how to treat a lady. He cut me off mid conversation several times and held his hand up to me when he took a phone call. I ordered the "salmon salad". That is all it said on the special board. I asked what came on it, the young man said "it's on the board", so I explained it just said "salmon salad". He then told me "I guess we could do something for you with more than just mixed greens". I'm sorry, I just wondered what came on the salad! Who puts a salad on their specials board that is only meat and lettuce? Lastly, when I got my darn salad, it had literally like 2oz or salmon and was over iceberg lettuce, not mixed greens, and the salmon was precooked and dry. I've worked in pizzaria's for years and I know they can be a little crazy and hectic, but this place was dead and they made me feel like they didn't want my business and couldn't be bothered. I'd fire that kid. read more

We should have listened to more of the negative reviews because this visit was very disappointing. Every pizza and flatbread that we ordered came out extremely burnt on the bottom, full of char and soot from what we can only assume is a dirty oven. The amount of grease that dripped off each slice of pizza was astonishing. We also ordered some wings which we thought would be fairly easy to make. However, when they arrived, there was no less than half cup of oil or grease in the bottom of the bowl. Needless to say we had to send all of that back, and fortunately they adjusted our check for these inconveniences. It's hard for me to recommend this place given this experience. read more

Every time I try this place again it lets me down. This used to be my favorite. Gave it yet another chance, service has gone down hill . My son and I stood at the empty dining room for a few minutes while the girl in the back waitress stand (the bar) watched us stand there. Finally the girl behind the pizza counter told us to just grab any table. My meal started with a cold rice ball. Over 18 bucks for 3!thin slices of eggplant parm and tasteless rigatoni Alfredo (cold) . I had to ask my waitress to bring the bread or else I would have never received it. Bad experience, don't go. Basilico's was going downhill before they moved now they full blown suck!!! read more

Review based on a quick stop in to order a couple slices and seat ourselves with no service. Handful of pies to choose from for heated slices. Went with the Chicken Parm slice and a Marinara slice. Both luke warm. The chicken was quite dry and the sauce lacked any flavor. Marinara slice was the better of the two. Thin sicilian (thick Grandma pie for you New Yorkers) with a nice flavored sauce. Very crispy crust without being dry. The zeppole were the hit here. Made fresh and you can order in multiples of 3. They were amazing. One note, the self serve tables were filthy. Please get someone on the floor monitoring as this was a bit of a turn off when eating. Young people behind the counter and it showed. Very little words and no smiles. Ah, kids these days.... read more

This place sucks! Don't eat here! I got a slice of veggie Sicklian and the dough wasn't cooked. I also got the Chicken Parm and I wish i sent it back. The chicken wasn't cooked and the sauce and pasta were so bland. This place should be shut down! Im so disappointed not only that but its over priced 60 bucks for food that taste as if it came out of a frozen box. DISGUSTING! yelp made me give a stat but honestly they don't deserve 1 star. read more

No wait staff or server in sight upon entering . Stood at podium for a bit , finally someone showed up and was seated . Ordered 2 entrees which included a house salad . The house salad was head lettuce with a bit of onion and a terrible looking tomato wedge . No pepper offered or on table . Probably the worst salad I have ever had in a restaurant. Bread basket was well done and entrees were very good . The server at the table next to us was advised it was pasta night ... no mention at my table ... that table also offered fresh ground pepper for their salads . Seems like no one paying attention or caring about consistency. Actually if they put some effort in salad I would give them another visit . read more

Visiting family in the dalton/Scranton area and we stopped in for lunch. We spilt a stuffed artichoke I had a piece of regular cheese pizza and a piece of chicken with lemon butter sauce. The artichoke was yummy the pizza very good and the chicken stupendous!! My sister is gluten free and not only do they have cauliflower crusts BUT a they sell them to go !! All in all an excellent stop and food was quite good. Next time I am back more chicken for me ! read more

Ordered a pizza here. It was undercooked for starters. When I complained the waitress was rude. Same old excuses it's a busy night, we are understaffed etc. It's business 101 no excuses for poorly cooked food and customer service. I will never be returning it here again read more

This was some of the best pizza I have ever had. I stayed in Dickson City for a few weeks. I ordered a pepperoni pizza twice while there. I also ate at the location. I had lasagna. It was very good but portion could have been a little bigger, but again I love to eat. read more

Used to be my absolute favorite pizza place in the area. Quality seems to have plummeted with the location change. Way too expensive especially considering how the food tastes now. I ordered a pizza Alla vodka and a pie with half pepperoni togo via their website. Their pizza prices are definitely higher than most. $17 for an 18" pie with half pepperoni seems absurdly expensive to me, but I loved their pizza in the past so I would splurge from time to time. Today, I got home and found the pie didn't have half pepperoni on it. So I essentially paid $2 for absolutely nothing. When I tasted their pizza, I was even more upset. The crust on the round pie tasted somewhat stale and almost artificial, as if it's store bought or frozen. It seemed a different texture than I remember as well. Overall it just didn't taste right, something about it was very unbalanced. The Alla vodka is my favorite pizza from them, but it's just not the same either. The crust isn't as fluffy and soft as it used to be, and again suffers from the same stale taste. The sauce has a lot more garlic in it than I remember and it's a little overpowering. Seems there's even less vodka sauce on it now too, which defeats the purpose of a vodka sauce pizza. Overall I'm just really disappointed. Obviously because of the forgotten ingredient, and the prices overall. But also because it's not the same Basilico's I remember. I likely won't be returning. read more

Pizza here is good. Like if you went to NY or NJ and got mall pizza. I like it. Service is laissez-faire. Plenty of parking next to clinic. My opinion is it's a passable option for NEPA in a sea of velveeta pizza places. No competition makes it comfortably average. read more
