Basilico Café - Prospect

Fantastic food. very fresh ingredients and everything being cooked in front of you. Open kitchen, great service, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Staff were friendly but takeaway pizzas were the worst pizzas ever. Margeurita was cheese with a couple of dark patches. I'm not one for gratuitous criticism but we used a Groupon voucher and will never be back.

Had 2 Pizzas (Calabrese and 4 Formaggi) and a Pasta (Italian Sausage with Parpadelle). Both pizzas were lovely, only complaint with the food was that some of the olives on the Calabrese weren't pitted, but no big deal. The staff were friendly but the restaurant was exceptionally hot. 2 split systems just weren't cutting it on a 36° day with the pizza oven working overtime. Would definitely go back for food, but probably for take away instead.

I was looking forward to visiting this establishment all day! As my inner pizza love was in need of some affection! Well, we couldn’t get a seat inside at all on a Friday night, so we sat outside to the tunes of Main North Road, AAh lovely! Didn’t really matter, we were hungry! And it was seriously noisy inside anyway! We ordered some bread to start with, as we were waiting for our pizza to be cooked in the wood oven, unfortunately this came out almost at the same time as the pizza. We asked twice where our bread was, as we did not want this to come out at the same time, but it did. That’s okay, it’s forgiven, they were just so busy. I am like a kid in a candy shop when pizza arrives at the table! Super excited by this humble meal! So disappointing! Looked great, but the taste did not match, sad face…….. We had the 4 Stagioni pizza, ham, mushrooms, artichokes, mozzarella, olives and we added anchovy as well. I always define a good pizza by the base and the nap sauce. The base was nice, just needed some more salt in the dough. Definitely not enough nap sauce on the pizza, so much of the flavour of a pizza comes from the sauce. The ham was hamless, obviously not the best quality ham used, doesn’t need to be top shelf, but should be better than it was. Other ingredients were fine. One of my pet dislikes on pizza are dry mushrooms, you know, when they are shrivelled and tasteless, it doesn’t take much to marinade the shrooms in a bit of oil and garlic or whatever, this really changes the whole pizza shroom experience! Service was okay, considering how busy they were.  The other meals that I could spot through the window looked pretty good! Probably wouldn’t return anytime soon as I have so many more pizza places around Adelaide to journey through yet! Thanks Team!  P.S. Really need some new menus as the ones we were given were past their used by date.
