Art Basil Restaurant Reviews
Outstanding service, atmosphere, and live music !! Every dish was stupendous! 👏👏👏👏
30 minutes prior to my visit I had a train wreck of grilled octopus salad across the street at Dune Deck! friend recommended Art Basil and was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the atmosphere, decor, food and pricing. Adam was a great server and had a great conversation with the lovely Hedy. Will definitely return
My wife and I love to share Art Basil's hand-tossed pizza, Sicilian wings, and a Greek salad. The servers are top-notch. We also appreciate how the owner supports local artists by providing lighted wall space for large original media for sale.

Art Basil Restaurant serves delicious dishes, including gluten-free pizza crust and vegan cheese options. The eggplant and meatballs are particularly praised, with guests enjoying the good old-fashioned Italian flavors. The fried calamari and caprese salad have also received high marks. The pocket purses are a highlight of the entrees, while the grilled octopus salad, chicken Parmesan, and bruschetta are favorites as well. The rolls with garlic are outstanding and add to the overall experience. The restaurant features live music on Saturday nights, with a pleasant atmosphere and both indoor and outdoor seating. The artwork enhances the dining experience, and the staff is known for being friendly and attentive. Reasonable prices and great service make it a repeat destination, with many returning for the Italian dishes. Lasagna and fontina and pear pasta purses were enjoyed, with prices expected for the area. The "Cajun Chicken Alfredo" was good, but the Marguerite pizza was not well-received, and the linguini and clams did not impress. Some guests noted that the bread was not remarkable. When large parties arrive, the noise level can increase. However, many appreciate the quality of the food and the inviting atmosphere, making Art Basil a restaurant they plan to visit regularly.
