We regularly dine at Basilico and thoroughly enjoy their fresh, authentic pasta and pizza menu. A must if in Sheffield for dinner. Lovely, friendly service with a smile from the owner and a talented chef at the helm, with an ever changing menu based on local and seasonal produce. Very reasonably priced and a lovely warm atmosphere. They also now have a daytime deli option with takeaway antipasto and prepared home pasta options.
Fantastic authentic Italian food in the heart of Cradle country. We were greeted on a cold Thursday night by friendly staff and delicious food. The portions are sizeable and well worth the price, using handmade pastas and dough accompanied by locally sourced ingredients.
What a great place. Good, hand made food (no packet stuff here) and helpful, welcoming staff, even though we were very late and probably outstayed our welcome.
Sheffield needs something like this, which delivers cheap, well made food even on cold winter's nights. Long may Basilico last!
Not since finding the Wild Caraway in Advocate Nova Scotia have I had such a great meal in such an unexpected place. We started with Carpacio and followed with Caprese Salad and Prosciutto Pizza. All fantastic. Oh and we started with a really great Negroni each. Highly recommended.
loved the deli and can't wait to try the restaurant! staff are just perfect: smiley, polite, warm and really nice! deli display is mouth watering and a very good range of italian products! we loved it!
Wow. Was not expecting to find such a gem. Epic pizza and pasta. The pizza was authentic Italian style but the base retained its integrity which so few thin base pizzas do. The pasta was hand made and the sauce delish. Lovely, speedy service. Wholeheartedly recommend.
What a hidden gem in the middle of Tasmania! Really authentic high class Italian food for very reasonable prices. Delicious pizza, homemade pasta and gelato- was a very lovely dinner. Definitely recommend this place for dinner to everyone who’s staying in Sheffield or even just driving through. Worth it!
When I came to the tiny unsuspecting mural town of Sheffield Tasmania, I didn’t expect to be transported back to northern Italy, and yet Basilico has managed to do just that.
Basilico, like the town, is a unsuspecting restaurant attached to the Sheffield motor Inn. It is neither particularly flashy nor fancy, but it’s food manages to be perhaps the most authentic Italian food I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing at an Italian restaurant.
The lasagne I was offered reminded me of what my nonna would make. It didn’t have fancy XO sauce or French Riviera truffles, it focused on the basics of good Italian food, fresh wholesome ingredients that compliment each other rather than outplay one another.
Don’t go to Basilico expecting a Michelin star experience, it isn’t that, it’s a small family owned restaurant that cooks the food they would love and eat, and that is what makes it special.
Basilico is a gem, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone considering a stay in Sheffield.
What an amazing place. I read all of this places reviews and wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as we sat down it was an excellent experience. The food tastes like it is straight out of Italy, and the drinks were perfect. Some of the best Italian Cuisine we have found so far in Tasmania, and was priced very well. Thank you!
We’ve been living in Sheffield for almost 2 months and I wish I had come to Basílico before I did!!! Best italian I’ve tried so far, both pasta 🍝 and pizza 🍕are freshly made and taste as amazing and delicious as in Italy! Couldn’t thank more to Francesca who received us very happy and excited as new customers. All bad reviews are just lies, not the people nor the food are close to what they’re saying. We’ll be back in no time to have a bit more of everything!!! 😋
