By far one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Fantastic service by some of the most friendly waiters and waitresses along with being superbly quick in their cooking, without any sacrifice of the food's flavour.
Whether it's for a simple night out or a celebration, Basilico offers what be most can't with a large variety in their menus and the best service around.
Would highly recommend without a doubt in my mind.
Had my sons 21 st family dinner here.
Great food, lovely staff.
Highly recommend and would defiantly go back
Came here for dinner with a large party on a Saturday night. Was packed in the restaurant but never felt ignored and attentive so awesome work by the staff.
Food was surprisingly tasty. We order few pizza a pollo avocado risotto, lasagne and Arancini balls. Apart from the disappointing arancini balls which were really bland food was great. Pizza bases were tasty. The al prosciutto probably had too many competing flavor but still enjoyable. Risotto and lasagne were great. Definitely would come back here for nice Italian meal in the suburbs.
What a tasty place) Our favorite dessert here - Home Made Tiramisu. So good!
Perfect selection of Italian desserts just waiting to be discovered!
It’s often hard to find a good Italian restaurant in the suburbs without having to travel all the way into the inner city but this Italian restaurant in Glen Waverley offers wood fire ovened pizza, a range of pastas (where you pick your sauce and type of pasta), risotto and classic mains so there is something for everyone. The pizza is thin and crispy, it’s not an ultra thin base, but decent. We had ‘the works’ which literally had all the toppings (but anchovies) and the ‘al prosciutto’ pizzas, the warm chicken salad, lassagna and arancini balls. All the dishes were tasty, I would happily go back!
The wood-fired pizzas are delicious. Perfect ratio of base to toppings and the cheese is stringy and full of flavour. I’m slowly working my way through the pizza menu!
When I said I was going out for Italian in Glen Waverley I got some weird looks. But I knew what I was doing when I booked a table at Basilico. The pasta was so well made and everything tasted so fresh generous portion size with good service.

Upon walking through the doors brings a comforting ambiance of an inviting Italian family restaurant. Greeted by friendly staff on a Friday night, we managed to get a table without reservations nor dramas but the place filled up quickly. Their antipasto platter had a lot of flavours and accents even for a simple dish and their choice of bread was perfect. Their mussels and seafood were perfectly done; they had accents of char grilled with olive oil infused with flavours. Their marinara pasta was surprising; commonly the taste of cream or garlic is present but it's flavour of white wine had won me over. Their pizza was well balanced with the right amount of ingredients and their tiramisu was flawless. Their lemon tart was (to me) not as citrus in flavour as it should be; it was more cheese and I couldn't tell what flavour it was until I asked. Staff were perfect; friendly, had a few jokes and attentive. Most customers won't notice nor care however the bar/kitchen hand staff that had some down time were still wiping down cleaning and organising their work area to make sure everything was in check. The waiting staff kept clearing dishes quickly and made sure everything was fine. If I can be picky, my only thought would be that some tables made need a check since our table rocked.
There's a lot of great depth in flavours, technique and passion in the food provided by Basilico; personally it's a place that I'd slow down my consumption to truly appreciate the food with a heightened taste palate and senses.
Friendly staff, but needed to ask to shut front door, then realized it was the air conditioning making us all cold on a cold night, so then asked for that to be turned off. Pasta was really nice, gourmet pizza base was perfectly cooked but was quite tasteless. Took over an hour to get out meal on a weeknight. Might go back but wasn’t as good as expected.
Went here with my partner's family from.interstate. They are foodies....so no pressure. This is actually our first but we heard good review. Anyway, service was attentive. Menu oprions was great. Food was delicious and price is good. Will definitely come back again.
We booked into this busy restaurant for dinner at 7pm. For entree, we started with a herb foccacia on a pesto base. It was crunchy with mild flavour. After a decent wait, approximately 45 minutes we finally got into the mains. Next up were the pastas; marinara fettucine and matriciana gnocci. The matriciana had a good spicy kick to it and the gnocci was soft. I felt the fettucine was overly tough in texture. We ordered three pizzas; the lot, pesce misto and the giggio's. The pizza bases were crispy. The giggio's was underseasoned. The lot had great balance, as did the pesce misto. It was also difficult to flag for attention. Overall the food was above average but the wait time was too excessive.
Always busy, this local joint serves fantastic wood fire pizza and yummy pasta.
Recommended to book before going, this is such a nice place to hangout with family and friends and good food.
A extensive list of pizza, both savoury and sweet, you may want to come at the end of a meal for dessert only, take away or just have a good Italian meal.
Pasta selection is few comparatively but menu also caters for a small selection of steak.
Highly recommended, definitely a differentiator from the rival down the road.
