Basilico in West Dorset

Simply amazing! What a warm, welcoming place with fabulous Italian food. We were accommodated at short notice and given the best service by Georgia and Gennaro. Pizzas were absolutely the best "this side of Napoli" and limoncello was divine! Thank you for a perfect evening :)

Customer service? Not a clue. You've been warned. 8pm Sat night reservation not honoured. They just closed and sent us on our way. Go next door to Tapas bar - Corto Maltese - really good.

AMAZING FOOD!!! Visiting from the US and could not be happier with this choice. Fantastic staff and food was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend

Excellent service, excellent food, We could not fault them...They went above and beyond to make my mother in law feel special on her birthday.Would definitely recommend if you like traditional Italian cuisine.

The pizzas were delicious, one of the best pizza bases I’ve ever tasted. I had the parmigiana made vegan and it was so good!

Pleasant atmosphere and service, however the food was a little bland for our tastes, not super expensive, although I do firmly believe tipping should be a consumer choice, rewarding good service. Adding 12% to my bill ticks me off. The service was good and the tip would have been similar to that which was added, but it should be down to the customer. Edit: It may be that I chose poorly ! I had not seen the combination before, which was why I went for it. Changing the ingredients could make my choice similar to another offering, however both the meat and the soft cheese were very delicately flavoured, too delicate for me. A goats cheese could boost the flavour, but then i suspect the meat would need to be swapped out too as it would be out of its depth. Its not a problem that I would want. Good luck.

Had a lovely meal at Basilico. The pizzas we had were really well cooked, a little different and very tasty. My son had Mac and Cheese and it was excellent, one of the best he's had when out. Add to this the lady serving was helpful and very friendly, and the chef was a great character who interacted with all of the customers with humour.Only thing worth knowing is that they don't do children's portions and recommend that children share an adult portion. Wasn't a problem for us as the kids loved the food so much they had a whole adult portion each!

Genaro and Sara are great hosts - my son's most favourite place to eat. I love it too. The wood fired pizza is out of this world. The antipasti is my favoutite although I have to be sure to be really hungry. I can't wait for you to be open again!

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! I've been here four times now and each time has been fantastic. Genaro sure knows how to cook up an incredible authentic Italian feast! The vibe is perfect for a week day evening, after work, meander down with some friends, grab a bottle of wine and eat a massive platter or a gorgeous oven baked pizza. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for great tasting food, it's great to support local family businesses!

Lovely, simple pizzeria. If you like authentic Neapolitan pizzas made in a wood fired oven, then this place is perfect. Good service and decent prices. Choice to two draft beers - perfetto!
