The pizza was delicious, very thin crust (which I like) and huge amount of food for one person…read more Good drink options, especially the cider which was great! Definitely recommend this place. The service was extremely quick and efficient. Got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Definitely need to check this place out if you are visiting. Also had a good vibe and crowd setting, as compared to the other pizza places which were completely empty during the middle of the week. Gotta check it out if you're in Uppsala!

This is probably my favorite place in Uppsala. It has a crowd of regulars living at the bar and…read morelate at night it fills up with students as the student pubs close. This is truly a place for regulars and an institution in Uppsala. The food is pretty good and the ambiance is great (even though the place is worn down quite a bit). In the summer there is an outside terrace.

Sweet Carolina, Bump, Bump, Bump, Good Times Never Seemed So Good…read more... Nothing can be finer than to get served by Carolina in the evening! Well, I took liberties with that old song and my apologies to Neil Diamond but in Basilico make sure your server is Carolina and you will "get my drift." She adds real personality to a terrific restaurant. We were just walking around and entered because the restaurant's bottom floor appeared quaint and full of regulars. We presumed they made delicious Italian food and we presumed correct. There were no English menus (this is never a turn off for us) but immediately Carolina said if we took a seat she would help us. We took a really nice window seat for two, had a glass of wine and Carolina pulled up a chair and basically acted like a little sister who has happy to familiarize you with a small town she had recently moved to. Anyway, we ordered bruschetta, ok I was surprised that there was but one piece, but it was excellent! We also had the Delizie di Mare and Maiale con Gorgonzola. The portions were large and both were expertly prepared. When we left we were stuffed, happy, and felt we had made a friend. It is rare that I choose an Italian restaurant outside of Italy but I highly recommend Basilico. It is a quaint, friendly, authentic Italian restaurant that serves up excellent food. Thanks for your help Carolina!

I'm not sure if Basilico is family-run... but it certainly has that feel. The menu is…read morequintessentially Italian with a wide offering of meat, fish, chicken and pasta dishes along with pizza. I've tried both one of the fish dishes (Salmone al Forno) as well as one of their pizzas (Prosciutto), and have enjoyed my food immensely each time. The prices are what I would call fair (in 2012: SEK 125-169 for pasta dishes; SEK 159-259 for entrées; SEK 95-124 for a 'classic' pizza, up to SEK 149 for one of their own creations) and the service is friendly. And don't forget to try their tiramisu. To die for!

This is a high three stars and I don't mean to discourage anyone who is in the northern part of…read moretown from giving it a try. It would have been for stars on food and drinks alone, but service was rather slow. They have pizza as well as a selection of other dishes, though we did not have pizza (others in our group vouch for the quality of the pizza). I had a chicken salad that was very nice. Others had fish and chips as well as burgers, and are happy. The preceding appetizers included very nice beets and some also very nice mozzarella, plus fried dishes I didn't try. Good beer selections, and the wine we had (Shiraz-something blend) was fine.
