Great environment with great food. They have an incredible lunch special too. These meal options were R85 each.The food was amazing, however we were deeply disappointed in the chocolate brownie and nut sundae. Furthermore, this was definitely a restaurant I'll visit again. Thank you for the excellent service Basilico.

Fantastic lunch special for R85!! Great quality food and attentive service also. Was suprised at how full it was on a Sunday until I saw their speical. Great job guys!!

The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The waiting time was decent for the food. Service was okay. It could be improved. Waiter was not always available when you needed him and it wasn’t that busy that day. Atmosphere was great. It was very hot that day. The windows were open but I think the aircon would have worked better or at least have the shades drawn. But overall great time and would definitely go again

Lucius and I went 2 days in succession. We had the best pizzas ever in our lives! Perfect thin basses, wood fired. Generous toppings.

Iv been wanting to try out this place for a while and was so happy when I finally did. The menu has an excellent selection and the coffee milkshake is delicious!

Absolutely loved it! The balcony seating gave us a lovely view of the street below and the pasta was delicious (good vegetarian option)

Staff was friendly and helpful. Was surprisingly full for a Thursday night. Top and bottom seating and option to sit on balcony. They had one vegan pizza available. It was nice but needed some sort of spice to give it more taste, especially when using coconut cheese.

Awesome date night! We really wanted to go out but didn't want to go anywhere far... found Basilico in Newlands - around the corner from where I live! The food was immaculately tasty and their spin on Italian cuisine was fresh and original. definitely will be visiting again. Soon

What a lovely restaurant. Our 1st visit there so can only comment in the 2 dishes we had. Our waiter was very friendly and attentative. We had the calamari and chorizo pizza and calamari, feta and tomatoe pasta. The pasta portion was huge and soooo tasty. Calamari was soft and tender. The chorizo on the pizza was great (many restaurants use a cheap version and it doesn't taste good). The pizza was also divine. Nice thin base with a generous amount of toppings. Would definitely recommend these two options if you enjoy eating calamari.

This was such a wonderful find! Tucked away in the corner at Steenberg Village is a well run Italian restaurant that holds tons of character 🌱 From the warm welcome and attentive service, this little gem 💎 is a foodies dream. Fresh herbs 🌿 and chef plated Italian dishes that you'll love. Pizza 🍕 pasta, steaks and vegetables of all sorts to choose from on the menu, with big dessert helpings that would make any Italian mama happy to go back for more.

Absolute favourite Italian restaurant in the area! Keep going back to order the same thing - creamy leek mussel starter and the basil pesto with chicken. It’s a very popular spot so ensure that you call ahead, especially on weekends.

Always a consistently good experience at Basilico’s. Pizza is fresh and amazingly tasty! Service is a little slow but the setting in the heart of Newlands is a great way to spend an evening or even to pop by for a lunchtime treat! Highly recommended

Best tasting pizza I’ve had in a long time. Packed with ingredients - bacon is not diced small and thinly distributed, plenty of whole pieces of bacon per slice. Avo is fresh and generously distributed. Thin, crispy base. Competitively priced. If you’re looking for Neapolitan style pizza this is not it but if you’re looking for tasty pizza made with quality ingredients and well-priced, you won’t be disappointed.

Recently took my dad for lunchtime pizza. The pizza was delicious and the service was great. I've been to Basilico a few times and the consistency in service and food quality always impresses me. I love sitting upstairs and catching a view of the road and passerby below. (I forgot to take pics, sorry).

To be completly honest, for a restaurant that is referred to as an institution in Newlands, the quality of food is nowhere near where it should be. Perhaps once upon a time, but no more. You have a prime location and a captivated market, but the food is below standard and definitely not worth the prices you charge and generally tasteless. The service also needs to be looked at.

I put absolutely everything provided on the table into my pasta to give it some taste. It was quite bland and slightly overcooked. My one friend found her ravioli mediocre and my other friend really enjoyed his pasta. It was an extremely OKAY experience. I won't be rushing back.

You can never go wrong with Basilico… Either as a quick dinner for two or a family pizza evening, great food, great service, great atmosphere. King Alfred was our waiter and he did an amazing job looking after us…. The Pork fillet was out of this world and beer on tap…. What more do you need to end your week. We will be back!
