I absolutely love their Arancini; they remind me so much of how my mom makes them. For many Italians, ordering a meatball in a restaurant is considered sacrilege, but theirs are truly delicious too. You really can't go wrong here. We often order catering from them for holidays.

It's located next to what is likely the best deli in the state, Millburn Deli. The restaurant itself has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with a welcoming staff. The menu is diverse and easy to navigate, and the BYOB policy is a great bonus!

I was particularly impressed with the Frutti di Mare pasta and the Ossobucco, both of which featured wonderful fresh pasta. Be sure to save some space for dessert, as Donna, the pastry chef, has truly perfected her creations! The Napoleon was absolutely divine, and the tiramisu was equally delightful. The Chocolate Soufflé was also delicious and wonderfully light! If you find yourself in the Milburn area, Basilico is definitely the spot for dinner!

This was our first time here so we didn't really know what to expect. And then on top of the food just being okay I got very ill later on in the evening from the food I had eaten here. A very poor introduction to a restaurant for me. I most likely won't be coming back

Went here with my family and had a wonderful time. On top of that, the food was delicious and a highlight was the special: the strawberry shortcake. Great restaurant, would definitely recommend!
