Lovely waitress … great food. Three desserts not available.. very disappointing for some of the guests!! Been there twice now and each time things on the menu not available that I thought would be priority!! Such as home made Tiramisu. View all feedback.

The pizza at this restaurant is excellent, with a crispy and fluffy base topped with very fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and provides good service, and there is plenty of space for seating. I would definitely come back to try the pasta!
Very good coffee, the flat white in a mug had an extra shot not just extra milk! Light scrambled eggs with fresh herbs and soft bread was delightful for breakfast. I'll be back to check out the lunch and dinner offerings.
Great food, very tasty indeed !!!They have a lovely ambiance too and it's a great place to chill with friends.The food is very well presented too and I highly recommend this place to all.

Whether you dine in or take away, the food is amazing!! The pizza is a wonderful authentic wood oven Italian pizza made from an original...Italian...pizza chef!! My family of 4 have enjoyed it every time and the dough never changes!! The kitchen is ruled by top quality chefs who know their food and is amazing and our plates are different every time we go! Carbonara is our favourite done to perfection and the meat melts in our mouths every time!! They know they're food and those cocktails are great too!! Their service is the best as always!! Would never change this place for others and if you haven't tried it....what are you waiting for!!!
Food was delicious. Highly recommend the beef ragu. Pizza dough was a little hard, but the formaggi topping was Devine. The guy who makes the pizza was the cutest thing ever, reminds me of my papa. Their New Zealand white wine was to die for, and the best part is there’s an option for a big glass! Would definitely come back!
Although the night we chose to eat here was not busy, the atmosphere was still buzzing. Our service person was amazing and it was his 1st night there. He was very professional and knowledgeable. We chose pizza and it was delicious.
Great pizzas! We had veg pizza with generous veggie toppings. Their mushroom sauce based dishes are totally worth it, we ordered Porchini Mushroom Risotto and Chicken pasta with Spinach ravioli, bang on! Good sized portions too, totally recommend this place!
I recently visited Basilico Cafe and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I especially enjoyed the pizza, which was hand-stretched with a thin base, light and tasty, topped with top-quality ingredients and baked to perfection in their beautiful wood oven. Enzo, the pizza maker, did an excellent job and his passion for his craft was evident in every bite. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment. Five stars!

Drive past here often and have always wanted to try it. Instantly regret it. Only had 1 menu available for our table and they were only half booked out....
Having passed this place pretty much morning noon and night for some time now I've noticed the development and change in the shopfront. Now it's...
A friend recommended this place a month ago, the price points fab, great takeaway and good size portions. Tried walk-in dining as a quick date night. Prompt...

Vegan Lasagne is very beautiful and Pasta is also good. Highlight was the garlic pizza, simple and tasty. Friendly staff and generous serving come back.
Pizza is the best course, but tried some other dishes and I must ever say the best Italian food! Besides, the staff is very friendly, thank you for us. We'll be regular here.
Wood oven pizzas are great here, highly recommended. Great atmosphere, not overly noisy when busy which is good if you’re catching up with friends, no need to shout to each other, and have a nice conversation over a good meal. The staff are great, attentive and friendly. The menu offers an extensive list of different style pizzas and pasta. Offers a kids menu for the little ones too. One pager wine list and few good cocktails on offer. Toilets are outdoor at the rear of the restaurant and needs some attending too when busy. Side Street parking available and limited parking bays in parking lot at rear of restaurant.
Good pizza and nice and friendly staff. Mushroom and supreme pizzas were the bests. They were quite balanced and tasty. The dough is a touch too dense or maybe not proved properly in my experience. Also I couldn’t taste the cheese so probably they can put more or think about other cheese to taste a bit stronger.

Great eating, very tasty in the did! they also have a beautiful ambiente and it is a great place to relax with friends. eating is also very well presented and I recommend this place very much to all.
We ordered beer, lemon limette bitter, vegetarian pizza, and a carving with fries. the pizza was good. the mushroom was fresh. the olives were not exaggerated. it was beautiful! sad, it stopped there. their carvings have this funny taste must be of a herb that I can't find out what. that was dry. also the lemon balm does not taste good. tastes like hustensirup. the toilet is for me. it is far back from the restaurant in a dark corner and has access to the neighboring. adult, don't let them go kids or girls to the toilet alone. what if some crazy institutions are their loved ones. I could eat there again, but just order pizza as it is baked wood stove.
Our Italian restaurant, pasta is great and the pizza in the wood stove is fantastic! the servings are huge and they probably need to make a deer and main size difference for those who want both pasta and pizza!
This restaurant does not disappoint. Great value and service. All food is delicious and high quality. All pasta dishes and pizzas are great. Highly recommended.
