Basilicos for the win once again! I just love this place and the food is delicious. The steak stromboli is the best I've had. I made the mistake and bought pre made ones from Wegmans this past week... and had to order this to recoup from the disappointment. I also ordered the lobster bisque which is amazingly thick and creamy. I haven't tried the cake yet, but I know it's going to be tasty!

Food is always excellent. Great Gelato and desserts, too.
A very wide selection of Sandwiches, Paninis. Pizza, Bakery Items, and Gelato. The Paninis we had were very good. Order at the counter and your food when ready is delivered to the table. I wish Basilico had restaurants in Northern Virginia.

Have ordered from here twice. The pasta tastes like its from a can of Chef Boyardee. Nobody greeted me when I walked in and the staff even saw me but continued talking to each other in the back. Italian card should be revoked to be completely honest. As an Italian myself I am quite disappointed.

The food is good, but inconsistent. I always order the same two sandwiches, but the proportions on ingredients are different each time.They also seem to be a bit poorly organized. I always place orders for pickup. I go in when I am alerted that my order is ready. Every time, I have to wait for someone to go and prepare the desserts because they are never "ready".Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian sandwiches and entrees to choose from.

My boss brought me a slice of cake from this place and I was excited because everything looked so delicious. As a baker, I like to try other people’s creations to see how others do it. Perhaps it was frozen and thawed, or refrigerated too long but the cake I had was dry. Literally hard crumbs on the sides. The frosting tasted a bit sour. Not like a cream cheese frosting should taste. I then took into consideration that it’s an Italian establishment but it still didn’t measure up to other Italian bakeries. I was definitely disappointed because I really had high expectations.

Absolutely love this place. Great service and great food!! They have an excellent assortment of pastries and pies also!!
Really enjoyed the food and the service here. Had pizza and some Philly cheese fries. Place was pretty packed and you can watch the cooks put the pizza in the giant oven. Sadly no tossing of the dough in the air while I was there though. Saw an awesome rooftop area but I believe it was closed because of weather. Bathrooms had no signs or markings making them tough to find. All in all a pretty awesome place with good food and service.Parking: Street parking and public parking lots are around but they do not have dedicated parking for their restaurant. The walk from the closest lot (about 2 blocks away) can be a little dark in the evening as some street lights were out.

This is a fun and delicious place to eat! The food is always tasty, the staff is efficient and kind, and we like that a lot of the community is there enjoying it, too. Whether I've had lunch, coffee or dessert, it is satisfying and worthwhile. Highly recommend!

The food was great, a bit slow getting it. A bowl of mac & cheese w/chicken, a turkey &ham paninni and 2 drinks was over $45.47. Seems pricey to me.

Staff was very kind, checked on us while we ate, took my trash from me as I was walking to throw it away. Food was delicious. Got the 1/2 & 1/2 combo and my Caesar salad was delicious. Wife and I both got a Panini and she enjoyed her soup of the day. Wife saw that they were hiring and applied while we were in there as well. Sounds like more paninis for me if she gets the job ??
