Basil's Italian & Ice Cream is a welcoming restaurant known for its flavorful food, friendly staff, and great value. Visitors have enjoyed a variety of dishes, including appetizers like stuffed mushrooms, onion strings, and the highly praised meatballs, which are considered some of the best around. The menu offers a good mix of Italian favorites such as chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp scampi, and hot sandwiches like Italian beef, cheesesteak, and pork tenderloin. The pizzas, including buffalo chicken pizza, are also popular, especially for takeout.
The restaurant is appreciated for its large, shareable portions, making it a good choice for family gatherings or groups. Many reviews highlight the excellent service, with staff described as very nice and attentive. The place is clean and has a super chill environment, perfect for casual meals rather than romantic date nights. The homemade ice cream and ice cream shake are standout desserts, and the bread pudding is notably phenomenal.
Additionally, Basil's offers a happy hour from 2 to 6 with half-price appetizers, which visitors find appealing. The bar area has been recently added and is seen as a great spot to relax, enjoy drink specials, and even play **keno**. Overall, it is considered an exceptional, family-friendly restaurant with good flavor, large portions, and a friendly atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
