Came here for a group dinner and we all expected to wait considering there were about 40 of us. We…read moregot a plate of bread which disappeared quickly and was not replenished. Several of us only got water which was also not replenished. I got a pizza and it was incredible. Loved the flavor of the cheese and the crust. It was so good! There's decent seating and a bar, but the very slow service and lack of refills was meh.

Gave Basilico a try for the first time last night. Food was very good, employees were very…read morefriendly. 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.

Thought it was a restaurant. Confusing at first but had to order at the front then take a seat…read more Ended up though a lot better. Food was absolutely fresh flavorful and good portions for the price. Plus the staff does take care of you taking empty plates delivering the food ECT..... Clean environment families seated and was a great experience. The food really was some of the best we've eaten since moving here.

Vinny's is my favorite restaurant in Stafford. I've been several times over the years. It's casual…read moreItalian dining with good service and plenty of seating. In all the years I've been going I've only had the Vinny's Calzone or the Bellybuster Stromboli. They're both great and get 5 stars every time. Last night I chose to deviate from my norm and order something different. I went with one of the specials, Tomato Farfalle Pasta Alfredo with Sausage. Not the best dish. The pasta and alfredo were good after adding pepper and a little salt. But the sausage was a big disappointment. It had no taste. The dish was a miss. On a positive note, the complimentary starter bread is delicious.

Food was great. The service will bring us back. Johnathan was great and entertaining.read more

New to the area, and what an amazing experience!…read more From the outside, the restaurant looks smaller than it actually is, but once inside, it's surprisingly spacious with a warm, traditional Sicilian atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. Our waiter, Jack, was an absolute superstar. He was knowledgeable, attentive, funny, and incredibly helpful with our selections. He truly made the evening special. We started with the calamari and a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and pomegranate unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread served with their infused olive oil was outstanding and worth mentioning on its own. For our entrées, my husband and I both ordered specials the Lobster Ravioli and the Halibut. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also enjoyed an excellent red blend wine. By that point, we had enjoyed enough wine that I completely forgot to take photos of the specials! We finished with the cannoli special dessert, which was good, though not quite as memorable as the rest of the meal. Most of all, we can't thank Jack enough for the great service, laughs, and overall experience. It's rare to find food and hospitality that work together so perfectly. We'll definitely be back very soon!

I heard this was a good place in town. Overall not impressed, probably wouldn't return…read more Parking: street parking downtown Reservation: they like you to have one but you can get in without Seating: inside and outside area. Outside area is cute Food: the complimentary bread and oil was really good. The appetizer was just ok. The pasta Left a LOT to be wanted. I've had different levels of pasta and this was a solid 4/10. Presentation was beautiful, but the taste and texture was not good. I did not even want to finish it and I'm a fatty. Service: wonderful, some of the best service I've had.

Came in for the 4th of July holiday special. Large cheese pizza for $7.99. Took for carry out but…read morethey do have a small inside dining area. Was served quickly as I ordered online. They also serve by the slice. Not the worst pizza in the world it not the best either. Prices are on par for some of the better pizza places. I honestly can't see buying their pizza at full prices. Like I said, not the worst but a lot to be desired. But I rate them middle of the road.

I've had many great experiences here, everytime me and a family member come here the service is…read moregreat. The staff members are very attentive and polite. The atmosphere is very chill and friendly. The food is delicious too! The pizza is the best pizza I've had since visiting Italy lol. Thank you paisanos!

Thank you to Christian(?) for putting extra effort into making our food look even more appealing!…read moreWe appreciate his efforts. I love the Orange Citrus salad (minus the fennel) & the Avocado Chipotle Chicken sandwich (minus the bread). But everything I've had here is good.

Stopped here on an afternoon wandering around the town. Was asked if we had a reservation and they…read moreacted like the place was so packed we needed it and then they "would see what they could do". We ended up outside on the patio and pretty much every table we passed on the way out there and on the way back out of the restaurant was completely empty so I was so confused why we couldn't sit inside. The menu is limited at best. I felt there were a ton of classic items you see at most Italian restaurants not offered. Fettuccine Alfredo? Nope. Lasagna? Nope. No choices of sauces and no choices of pasta styles. The sauce is on the sweet side, if you're into that. The pasta didn't taste homemade, but wasn't awful. Service was friendly, people were nice, but I wouldn't come back here if I'm looking for more traditional classic Italian dishes. It was fine to try for a quick afternoon stop.
