Great place to come for a decent sized steak with veggies. Great value and tasty. Decent wine selection too. Beer selection sucks though. Service is always pretty good.
Extremely good pizzas , definitely worth the price and the wait. The pizzas are very large and filling and the staff tend to your needs well.
Sometimes you just want to go somewhere where you can make a reservation, it's not fusion food, you don't have to get dressed up and there's no 'feed me' menu option available. Enter Basilico. One of four scattered around Melbourne, this family owned Italian eatery has been serving up delicious authentic meals for years. I went for a deliciously calorific creamy pesto gnocchi served with a side of crusty buttery garlic bread. Mamma Mia, it was casual but it was perfect
Bruschetta - very nicely done bread while the toppings lacked the punch.
Pizzas - generous with the toppings. Nothing else great to write about. The base could be better considering it is wood fired.
Service - very friendly waitress and nice service.
Excellent pizza. Magnificent ingredients applied to perfection. To cap that off the entrees, pastas and mains stack up well too, and if you go through to dessert leave plenty of space. The service standards decline when very busy. It's better to go for lunch or the quieter nights. Sitting in Basilico Windsor and looking out into Chapel St you could be in any eat-street in the world. Recommended when it's not too busy.
Expensive Delicious Habit.

I hadn't been here before, but the amazing smell that greeted us when we entered was a great sign. A glass of wine was needed to shake off the wet windy weather outside. Good pizzas and friendly service.
We have been here on numerous occasions and have been pleased with the food the service and ambience. The arancini balls are worth a try and the pizzas are really good all cooked up in the wood fired oven. If you want a casual outing with good food at a reasonable price. Then give this a try
Always enjoys coming here.
Woodfried pizzas are great with many options including vegetarian ones.
Service is accompanying and friendly and prices are reasonable.
Will return again.
Ordered delivery, pre-ordered for a certain time as the restaurant wasn't open yet! Great! Arrived on time. Nice flavours and tasty. Had the carbonara and the woodfired prosciutto pizza. Will order again from here
Absolutely delicious meals and amazing service! For entree we shared the prosciutto rocquette pizza which had a lovely crisp base and all ingredients were fresh and tasty. For main I had the eye filled cooked medium with the pepper sauce. 10/10 steak. My partner had the Pollo Valentino which he loved! Great food, excellent service, we'll definitely be back!!
Excellent risotto for home delivery - what a terrific meal to commence the Basilico experience!! We just ordered two risotto (Marinara risotto and Pollo & Avo risotto) through Menulog, which was delivered very promptly and professionally.
Admittedly, my wife and I were a bit deterred by the prices of the meals, but upon seeing (and tasting) the quality and texture of these risottos, we both agreed that the premium was worth it. Flavours, texture, freshness and quality of the risotto were excellent, and we're very keen to try out the other options available on the menu.
We eated yesterday night. Every thing was good, bruschetta too expensive (8,5dollars for 3 pieces of bread) but tiramisu and pizza really good.
Delicious every time. Couldn't recommend enough. Everyone I've spoken to agrees their pizza can't be beaten.
Absolutely Amazing!. There food is delicious, their service impeccable and it is all very reasonably priced especially considering the quality of the food! The recent addition of the delivery option will see me eating from here very often! Would recommend to anyone and everyone and will definitely be eating here again!
Clean, comfortable space and decent pizza. Personally like thin based pizza, the supreme was nice, and so was the calamari salad (main). A little big pricey considering the serving size, but the food was nice, prob more worth it if you used the entertainment book voucher or ordered takeaway. The waiter who served us was very hospital, so kudos to her (didn't get her name). Will visit again. Thanks
Dined it - friendly service, nice house red, great menu of pizzas -LOVE all the vegetarian options!! Our pizzas were lovely and very tasty.
Weekly Visitors. My husband and I love it and always order the same thing. He orders the Mexicana Pizza. The ingredients are fresh and the dough is perfect. I order the Chicken Schnitzel because they use a wonderful breading and it's cooked to a golden brown. They take pride in their meals as evidenced by the way that they present their dishes.
Love it!
Tasty, quality, and reasonably priced. Love this place for a quality Friday night take away. We ordered a meal for two online this evening, and less than 15 minutes later our food was on the doorstep. The gnocchi was delicious and fresh, with quality ingredients evident in the sauce. Pizza was also very nice. Cannot go wrong for the price especially, which is extremely reasonable, particularly when compared to other Italian in the Prahran area. Highly recommended.
Great place to take your family on a Sunday arvo down chapel street! I always bring my kids here and they get there pizzas while I get a chicken parmagana and my wife gets gnocchi ! Staff are always lovely and the guy making pizza doesn't mind having a chat! I will be back!
Outstanding Service. I brought my family here to eat out and let me just say the Gnocchi was one of the softest/fluffiest I have ever had. My husband enjoyed a Veal Schnitzel and the kids both had a pizza each.
The service and food were wonderful and even when making adjustments to each of the meals, the waitress was friendly and helpful.
Good food and excellent service. We took a "doggy bag" home so looking forward to seconds. Cheers
Nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. Nice pizza, not the best by any means and the gormet option is certainly better. But a great place to sit outside with friends on a weekend and soak up the atmos of chapel with some BYO
The service is consistent and so is the food. Always go there for a carbonara. The best in town!!!! Best staff and very good manager! Go go go
A spicy meatball!. I decided to try this place for dinner last night. Very happy with the food my primavera was perfect, we got looked after well by the staff. I'll be back there again. Highly recommend
Large king prawns, generous servings but absolutely bland and watery risotto!! Worst ever! They used tinned tomatoes and the head waiter/ manager was hopeless. I've had takeaway from here before and it was very tasteless. Never again!!
Great Italian food, good value, nice atmosphere, courteous wait staff.
Beautiful Fresh tasting pizza. Delicious affordable Italian-Very nice!!
The service was great, the food tasty and over all had a great night! We picked this place based on the ratings from urbanspoon, and the menu which is shown here - it looked to be very cheap! However, on arrival, although the menu was similar (much more choice on the actual menu) the prices were very different! At the end of the day it was delicious food so of course we didn't mind paying the extra but it is a little misleading! Would definitely eat there again.
Friendly staff, food was really good - pasta was overlooked but forgiven due to delicious sauce and great pizza. The minestrone soup was really unique!
One of the best pizzas in Melbourne. Stopped by for a quick lunch, had the chicken and feta, also the itialin special. Both were very tasty and fresh. Good venue and great tasting food.
Basilico: fairly unique pizzas, along with other common Italian offerings in a clean and fresh environment.
The service here was great; every employee seemed bright and helpful. Tiramisu was some the best I've had in a long time as well. Check it out if you're into the pizza scene.
Great meal. I had the eye fillet and was so tender. Thanks guys for always cooking an awesome meal. So good to be able to order steamed veggies with your steak instead of chips. We will be back for sure 👍👍

Only the best chocolate pizza I've ever tasted. Great menu none the less and a fantastic relaxed vibe. I always come back
Great prices for what you get, nice atmosphere and staff. One of my favourite restaurants
