I LOVE Basilico’s!! I love the food and the atmosphere! Whenever we have friends in town, Basilico’s is the place we go! Our friends are always really impressed! It’s an old school family owned business! It’s a very popular restaurant here in Huntington Beach! I have never been to Italy but feel like I am there with the cool music, lighting, artwork, roses on the table, crisp white table cloths, EXCELLENT FOOD and AWESOME SERVICE! One of my favorites is the Eggplant Parmesan…I don’t really like eggplant but I LOVE this! I always have some to take home, the servings are quite large!! You can’t go wrong with Basilico’s!

This place is like being invited into an Italian family’s home. Cozy and warm with homestyle rustic Italian cooking. It has an old school east coast vibe from the food and cocktails to the service, music and ambiance. Nothing like it anywhere!

The lunch special is really good we get 2 full sandwiches, soup or salad and a glass of wine for an extra $5. We take one sandwich home for dinner it’s really reasonable

This place was recommended by a friend. So I tried it with my wife and man it felt super authentic. The food was marvelous. The atmosphere was very home style. Felt like I was visiting a family member. My wife loved the wine collection. Highly recommended

I visited this wonderful Italian restaurant for the first time today. The atmosphere , food and the staff was amazing. I especially stopped by because I heard that they were having nothing to do with the illegal mandates that were pushed upon us during the plandemic. I will visit here every time I return to the area and kudos to the owners for not complying with the ridiculous MANDATES!!

Basilico’s is one of the best Italian places I have ever had! Our experience last night was one of the best dining me and my family have had in recent times. Our server Will was exceptional and the owner even came around to check on the quality of all the food and service. A quaint and fun atmosphere and you can tell the owner was genuinely happy to have everyone in his restaurant. Likewise, the food is delicious! I highly recommend the lasagna or the steak milanesa but everything we had was amazing! Also, the meatball and sausage slider appetizers are to die for!

Absolutely fabulous food. I ordered the lunch special yesterday and it did not disappoint. Soft but crusty bread, savory meatball, perfect amount of sauce, beautiful presentation. And the Italian clam chowder was phenomenal-roasted potatoes and hearty fish…so good. Order the cannoli.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basilico’s Pasta e Vino and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is cozy and the ambiance is lovely. The restaurant’s authentic Italian cuisine truly stood out, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were to my vegan preferences. The artichoke fritti, which they graciously customized for me by omitting the Parmesan, is a MUST!

I’m sorry I know that some of the reviews for the Italian food here are “outstanding” but my family felt it was anything but. The Italian food here was average at best. It actually give me a massive bout of heartburn by evenings end. The spaghetti was NOT al dente, in fact it was undercooked and when I pointed it out to the server he just argued with me. The meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen. My wife’s chicken Parmesan was RAW in the center. NO JOKE and my kid’s pizza crust was raw in the middle (NO JOKE EITHER) The only thing that was pretty good were the cannolis for dessert. I know a lot of people will think I have a problem with this restaurant. I don’t. I just think if my family is going to pay a premium price for Italian food it should taste a lot better than The Olive Garden which it wasn’t. I felt the service and the food were definitely subpar. My family won’t be going to this restaurant ever again. In fact we even left our leftovers at the table. Sorry but true.

First, what restaurant puts out an anti-woke flag in front of it? Eliminating 50% of their potential customers from the start. I’m sure if you wore a Joe Biden tee shirt they’d spit in your food before serving it.
