The food is excellent - we've NEVER had a bad dish. The atmosphere is electric. If you go and it's empty, it won't be for long... because there are a ton of regulars who go all the time! The prices are very fare and the service is typically excellent. Iabsolutely suggest this restaurant for business, family dinner or a girls (guys) night out. Read more
For my daughter's college graduation we were a group of 13 at Basilico. We had made a reservation and were quickly seated. We... all felt very welcomed by the staff and the owner. The service was stellar and the food delicious. It was my first time and Iwas impressed with the overall experience. In this era of high inflation, the prices were reasonable for suck quality food.

What a great find! We stopped there while in Doral for lunch, as we were going on our traditional December trip to Mercato... Italiano to load up on Italian salumi and other Italian imported food. The strip where Basilico is located is a small one andeasy to miss. It?s located on NW 41st St, east of 107th Ave and west of 102nd Ave. For some reasons I thought I was going tosome type of Italo-American small place, you know, the typical ?pizza and pasta? joint. Well, big surprise instead: we ended upin a white tablecloth upscale-feel restaurant, really a place that feels like an Italian trattoria. The ambience is relaxing,clean and like I said, really ?Trattoria-style?: you don?t go there to grab a drink at the bar, you go to eat. The décor isneat, from the modern spot light on the ceiling to the wood frames all over the place to mix modern and nice comfort style. Theother surprise factor was that the prices are very reasonable for Miami and for people like us coming from West Palm Beach, thevalue price/quality was totally great. I had the paccheri all?amatriciana, very good and rich with the thick amatricianasauce. My wife had the Ravioli with gorgonzola, fico e pera (fig and pear) and they were really a nice delicacy. Both disheswere $ 18.95 each, we were in some sort of paradise coming from an area where some spaghetti with 4 small shrimps on top can setyou back easily $ 26-28. We split an Italian salad and were super satisfied; service was great and we felt at home. I had aglass of Chianti D?Albola, my wife a glass of Merlot from Friuli (a rare find in Miami); she won this one. Her merlot was muchbetter than the Chianti, so much that I had that as my second glass. This is going to become out place to go in Doral for ourfuture trips to that area. Last thoughts: no liquor license, that means no ?Amari?, or other Italian digestive liquors. Bigdeal? Nope. Also, if you are far from Doral you can visit them in Miami Springs (I believe NW 36th St and Read more
We have been driving by this place for years, and finally decided to try it out last week for lunch. The restaurant is located... in a very unpretentious but extremely crowded strip mall. Once you get inside, however, you find yourself in a chic (yet notsnobbish) place with down tempo music in the background. Their bar is small, but they have two spacious dining rooms, allnicely decorated with Venetian masks and painting. I also liked the fact that the tables are not so close to each other. Theirlunch menu has very good prices, but to tell the truth their regular prices are extremely convenient as well; not to talk abouttheir wide choice of wines, where you can get several of them at just $8.00 (without being in HH)! We ordered homemade Raviolial gorgonzola e pera con salsa di fico ($16 on lunch special, just $19 on the regular menu) and Paccheri all?amatriciana (forthe regular price of $19). The entrees come with choice of soup and salad, which wasn?t the regular ?garden salad? that usuallyrestaurants offer, but a fresh arugula salad with diced tomatoes and some strips of fennel! Then as usual, in every Italianrestaurant I ?have to? try the tiramisu. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service very attentive: it is now on our?list of the best restaurants in Miami?, and I?m looking forward to going back soon again to try their other dishes.
