Basilico - Food VIC

5 /5 Mery: Popped in for an early dinner. Attentive service was a bit absent for a less busy time unfortunately. Two pizzas ordered. Mexicana base was great with a very busy topping. Ortolana on a gluten free base, also with a large quantity of topping. Yes, it’s a personal choice - less or more topping - however, flavour is the aim. In this instance more didn’t deliver more flavour. On International Tiramisu day, the tiramisu was soooo good.

1 /5 Thanh Sagris: We came on Thursday night and got punishment by “moving table”. We got table outside then we asked to move table inside and was confirmed by staff that we can move. One of the managers came and said she got a booking table for 5. And we offered to move off table but she said “it’s alright” Pizza and garlic bread came first. People came after us 30mins but they got their meal and we still waiting for the starter course. We said “if you haven’t made our dishes, we are happy to cancel”. The lady said “the kitchen got mixed up because you moved table”. Is it punishment for us?!? but why garlic bread and pizza still came and that is the same order. Waiting for the food and see what the surprise is… Mussels were not cooked. Bread is burnt. Waiter came to said sorry and that’s it. Full price charged That’s how 20-year Basilico restaurant in Albert Park treated their customer. Very disappointed, that is not standard customer service, don’t expect professional service in 20-year pizza restaurant like this

5 /5 Noah Vandersteen: Absolutely excellent restaurant / establishment, purely beautiful, with an absolutely amazing team of staff. I would highly recommend this place. The only negative thing I have to say is with regards to the chef, more specifically when ordering the 350g piece of meat, if you love your meat blue or rare, I would avoid ordering as this was not achievable after 2 times, friendly feedback for those who love their steak blue and don’t want to be disappointed :)

5 /5 H M: I was alone diner on a Tuesday evening in October. Food - the waiter recommended a new Gnocchi dish, which I chose. It was filling and tasty without being overdone (had goats cheese, but not too much of it). There was need for entree or dessert. Coffee - spot on Ambience - Quiet but bustling. Good lighting. Quite a few people getting takeaway. A number of dads in there with their adolescent children. A few couples. Three wait staff. Toilets - clean, well lit Parking - easy, out the front and free. I can see there are variable reviews for this restaurant, but I had a good experience in terms of attentiveness and food quality. On the night I went, most of the other patrons were choosing pizza and they all seemed to be chowing down without complaint.
