Established in 1998 by two friends, Basilico Ristorante has been serving delicious Northern Italian fare ever since. Meaning basil in Italian, the restaurant was named after the first job owner Carlos had to do in the new eatery. Basilico serves a simple menu of traditional and authentic Italian cuisine, ranging from freshly prepared salads and appetizers to hearty meat and fish entrees, hand-tossed, wood-fired pizzas with a variety of toppings, and decadent desserts. Don't miss trying the award-winning signature dish of linguini frutti di mare, which will leave even the hardiest of food critics satiated. The food is paired with a selection of over 60 wine labels from around the world as well as craft beers and spirits.
