Great ambiance (live music) and views of the marina. The service was very good. These were expected based on online and word of mouth reviews. The food is okay but neither exceptional or justified by the high prices. The pizzas (65-75ECD/25-28US) were decent (nice dough) but not what I expected for an upscale exoerience. The sausage and mushroom penne pasta (79ECD/29US) was definitely firmer than al dente (dare I say really undercooked). We were given used dirty plates, mistakes happen and they apologized. Maybe they were having a bad evening but for the most expensive restaurant in Jolly Harbour, it was grossly underwhelming and quite disappointing.

Excellent food, outstanding service and ambience! We had two salads, one with grilled shirimp, the other with calamari for starters, and we took for our mains the lobster with linguini, pasta with rapini and buffalo cheese and a copious portion of perfectly seasoned and made pork ribs with homemade barbeque sauce. The desert was an equally perfect piece of culinary art: panacotta with basil and strawberries. Hats off for the italian-romanian team who runs the restaurant!

The food is amazing, the basilico touch is splendid. We really enjoyed our food and the staff was super friendly. We had vegan gluten free options. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and the owners surprised us with a cake. It was wow.

Wow wow wow! After 9 days in an all inclusive with subpar food (which shall remain nameless) here in Antigua - coming to a place with such incredible food has been a god send. Was not surprised to learn the owners including the chef are Italian. As good a great meal as you’d get in Italy. Very generous portion sizes. So lucky we found this gem which is also immaculate clean and had a lovely harbour view setting. Thank you for filling us up 🙏

Ate supper there on a Sunday night. The food was wonderful. Pizza is the best on the island. The salads were extremely fresh. Had crème brûlée and lemon cheesecake to finish the meal and they were awesome . Staff and owner were very friendly . There was a live band playing on Sunday night. I highly recommend.

This is a great restaurant for a special occasion as you know you'll be in for a tasty treat. Each dish was a feast for eye and belly...the pork was just one highlight, smothered in sweet onion and served with the most amazing potatoes..quite a triumph. The outdoor location is lovely with a great view across the marina with a cooling breeze. Service was so friendly and the atmosphere enhanced by the tasteful live band. The bongo solo was great too!

We regularly eat here for dinner and always totally enjoy the experience. Last week we had lunch and we were thrilled with the new menu. The special Tuna salad was fantastic, fresh and beautifully flavoured. Compliments to the chef!! A lovely chilled atmosphere with great music and excellent service(as always). The new breakfast and lunch options are a brilliant addition for all of us dining in Jolly Harbour. We will be back for lunch soon and also keep our regular dinner experiences.

Second time we ate there this week, this time we brought fresh caught red snapper and they grilled them to perfection. Great staff and food, highly recommend!!!

Perfect lunch menu: light and delicious! I'd recommend the home made ravioli, washed down with a chilled white wine! The staff are lovely, and the atmosphere at lunchtime is super chilled. Grazie!

Had dinner with my family and some friends on the last Sunday in April. The ambience was superb. There was a good live reggae band ( I think the name was ICTH or something like that ) that did a delightful cover of take 5. The host/owner was very friendly. She visited all the tables and there was much laughter all around. And the food was delicious. I had the lobster tagliatelle. I would certainly return to this restaurant and I highly recommend it.

Elegantly romantic atmosphere, great customer service and delicious Italian food. Everything felt and tasted original, especially the pasta dishes. Cocktails may not have been the best thing they offered but they did make a delightful Moscow Mule. However there were many wines to choose from. It was an all out pleasurable experience and I would definitely go again.

A couple weeks ago, I made a reservation at Basílico for NYE 2023 dinner at 7pm. On December 31st at around 3:30pm, I called the restaurant to cancel the reservation because an emergency situation arose so me and my friend would not be able to make it. The woman who picked up my call could not seem to find our reservation but went on to say in a very unfriendly tone, “Even if I could find your reservation, it’s disrespectful to cancel a reservation. This is a fully booked restaurant. It’s very disrespectful disrespectful to a restaurant to cancel hours before a reservation. I hope you have an awful New Years.” Then she hung up the phone. I called the restaurant right back and the same woman (who I strongly believe is the owner because of her ignorant and disrespectful attitude) answered. I asked her what was all the attitude from before about. She went on another angry rant about the restaurant being fully booked and it being disrespectful to cancel a reservation so late. I simply told her that a situation arose and I had no choice but to cancel. The woman didn’t even try to listen. She just raged on and on about “disrespect” and said, “I have work to do” then hung up again. This woman has no manners and spoke as if she was talking to an animal. I am actually grateful this happened so me and my friend did not waste a dime on this restaurant run by such a tyrant. Rude, obnoxious, disrespectful and hostile are the words I would use to describe my experience. Never again. Would not recommend to anyone.
