Reviews for Basilico in Millburn, NJ

Absolutely fabulous. Delicious Italian food served in a quaint , stylish setting . 10/10 Love their chocolate souffle.

I heard about Basilico years ago (pre-COVID) from family who loved it. So when my cousin suggested we have dinner here on... Saturday since it’s halfway between our homes, I was excited! I was happy to see how lovely the place looked andunfortunately, it went downhill from there. Service was rushed and unfriendly. The waiter, although competent, looked and actedas if he was just trying to get through the night. Each time we finished a course, the busgirl would pounce on our tables andfrantically remove dishes and silverware. I should note that we were there early at 6:00 so the place was not packed. Now forthe food… * Appetizer: calamari was flavorless and the marinara sauce just tasted like tomato sauce. Caesar salad wasedible. * Wine: I was surprised when the waiter told us that they only serve half bottles or full. Half bottle selection waslimited so I couldn’t order what I really wanted to drink. * Main course: I ordered the sole special ($40). The fish was overcooked and the flavor was nonexistent. I couldn’t taste the garlic (which was the reason I ordered it). My daughter orderedthe Fusilli con Cavolo ($25) and that had more flavor, but was too salty. * Dessert: Tartufo Trio was the best thing that we atehere! I also ordered the chocolate soufflé and that was just ok. It had a side of whip when it really needed a side ofchocolate ganache to give it more flavor. I would not ever go back. Their food is overpriced, unappetizing and flavorless; andtheir wait staff makes you feel rushed throughout your meal. Read more

Service was amazing. Try to make a reservation. Food was one of the best I’ve had in a long while

Food and service are fantastic. Veal Milanese is not on the menu but the kitchen will accommodate! The salad on top of the veal... is so fresh and offers a lovely contrast to the crispy cutlet. Service is fantastic and their homemade pastas are off thecharts! Read more

The best Italian restaurant in the area and it’s not even close! Food is always amazing, no matter what you order. Desserts... are hand made and always impressive! Absolutely love it here! Read more

Delicious food, celebrated Mother's day. Staff gave us great recommendations on food and drinks. Will return again soon!

Liked the Crispy fried calamari, tasty artichoke heart appetizer. Very good Pasta special (Shrimp with garlic tomato sauce). ... Average/ok taste seafood risotto entree. We ordered two souffle desserts, one chocolate and one strawberry. The strawberrysouffle was good. The chocolate souffle was a failure which they still served to us. (see the photo) it tastes like a softchocolate cookie. We should complain but don't want to wait 15 mins more in the cold patio for another one. We did not ask forcredit and no credit was offered either. Read more

Have had this on the to-do list for some time - this restaurant has quite the reputation locally for being a fantastic dining... experience. Oysters were great as an app. Half bottles of wine are great for a date during a busy day. I ordered a homemadepasta dish and loved every bite. My fiancee had a pasta special and also really enjoyed it. Espresso was good. Tiramisu wasgood. Cake and iced cream was great. Be ready to pay for the experience, but know it will be a fantastic one. Will certainly beback. Read more
