Basilico

Teiqua Ireland

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.
