Basilico Italiano

This has become our favorite family restaurant for true, authentic Italian. The meatballs, garlic knots, fettuccine alfredo are all delicious. The Caesar wrap is indeed worth the hype!

There are no words for the food here! Delicious. Great service. Definitely one of my fave restaurants. I’ve never been disappointed.

Love it. Went last Saturday and it was rough. Ran out of garlic knots, sweet tea and my stromboli was burnt. So sad. Hoping it was just a fluke because usually its great.

OMG! The food was amazing! Staff were very friendly. Service was great.

OMG , Started with garlic knots and marinara then a Tuscan salad which both were delicious. For our Valentines lunch I had Veal Parmesan and my wife had the Shrimp Fra Diavolo which were both amazing. We proceeded to order Tucan chicken entree and the Chicken Bacon entree as well as the Allo vodka chicken sub thing to take home . We will be eating those tonight for dinner. Emily was our waitress and she was on point helping us thru decisions and just her overall attentiveness. Thank you for the delicious food , hospitality and environment you have established. We will Definitely be back sooner then later to bring my parents for an amazing meal . Thanks again !!

When your biggest complaint is “I ate everything already?” you know you have a great meal. The fabled lunch chicken caesar wrap I have heard about is as good as everyone would have you believe. The house made dressing is perfect, the romaine crunchy, and the chicken cooked perfectly.

If I could hazard any suggestions to the management - give me an option to make this delicious wrap the size of a small swaddled newborn. I’d up charge that order faster than an Italian grandma can get out the smacking spoon for touching her simmering sauce on the stove.

Disappointing, the service and atmosphere were good. We had reservations so seating was not a problem. The food however was not good. I ordered chicken parmesan and broccoli parmesan; the plate was $22.00, the portion was small. There was only a few pieces of flavorless broccoli with sprinkled parmesan on it. The chicken cutlet was extremely thin, overcooked and tough. The very small portion of noodles tasted and looked like the overcooked noodles that stick to the bottom of the pot. I will admit that the sauce was okay. I had heard good things about this restaurant and maybe this was a one off, but I would be very hesitant to return. The reason for giving three stars for atmosphere is the bench seat material was torn and the table had not been wiped very well.

We saw this place on instagram showcasing their 1 pound mozzarella cheese stick!! So we gathered our friends and came up to check it out!! Did not disappoint service was amazing food was delicious and atmosphere is perfect! It’s a smaller restaurant so best you have reservations. Also the food portions are large so come hungry or be ready for a Togo box! A lot of great food to choose from. We will make a drive back up again!

Fire! We grabbed some takeout on a Friday Night. Online orders weren't open. I called and called no answer. Finally I got through. I ordered:
1. Tuscan Chicken 10 out of 10. The sauce flavor was robust, garlicy, rich, and the sun dried tomatoes set it off. Very silky and creamy. The chicken cutlet was tender, well seasoned and flavorful. Chef's KISS.
2. Meatballs!: 10 out of 10. So much flavor! Best Italian meatball Ive had at any Italian restaurant in Charlotte. Held together really well, tender, not too juicy.

3. Chicken Bacon Alfredo: 7 out of 10. The cutlet was good. It was well seasoned, tender and crispy even after a 20 min ride home. The sauce, could have been just a touch heavier handed on the sauce. It was just okay. Needed more garlic flavor and a touch of salt. The flavor profile of the dish was okay. Not a robust flavor but good.

4. Bacon and Blue Cheese Wedge Salad. The small is a quarter head of lettuce. It was a 5 out of 10. The blue cheese dressing could be better.

We didn't eat in, but it was a jumping place a tell that the good is great! They also had live music inside.

First time here but won't be the last! Let me break it down for you....
Seating - was able to make a reservation for 4 (which is great to have on a Friday night)
Food - we had bruschetta, rice ball appetizer, salad, garlic knots, chicken picatta, eggplant rollitini, tiramisu. Rice ball was authentic like you get in Italy 🇮🇹 Tiramisu was light cream, great flavor and now I'm wrecked because it was the best I ever had!!! Everything is made in house and it shows in the quality!! You will not be disappointed!!
Service - very attentive staff, waitress was great, but also had bus staff coming around to get our plates, or anything else we needed, and they were eager to answer my question when asked what their favorite dessert was.
Atmosphere - it's a smaller place, bar in the middle, every seat at the bar and every table was full, with people waiting at the door for tables and picking up to go orders. The vibe is like being at the neighborhoods favorite family owned restaurant with people working that like and care about thier jobs and the business. Then at 6pm they had someone playing and singing 🎶 it wasn't too loud or disturbing, just nice dinner music 🎵
