I was taken back 30 years, as long as my memory allowed, back to an old school Italian restaurant with mouthwatering traditional food and a friendly, attentive waiter. Dessert was delicious! Next time I'm taking my friends there with me. It's located at the end of a dead end little street. There is a sign on the Lily pond road. The red roof house is on the next corner towards the bridge.

A charming rustic family friendly restaurant hidden on the end of the road. Food is fabulous and the staff is friendly.

The food is fresh, the atmosphere is small and intimate and the service is impeccable! Even though it was our first visit, it felt comfortable and familiar. The owner, who was so kind and easy to speak with, came over quite a few times to our table to make recommendations, give some background on the dishes and spoke about his time in Italy. The martinis were fabulous! This is a wonderful place for a date night or with a group of friends! It's authentic Italian food that I plan to show off to out of town family!!

Old-school Italian since 1921. Fresh pasta and produce. Warm/welcoming environment. One of our all-time favorites.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Place was packed, they got plus a table for two and treated us like family. Delicious food, based on the manager’s recommendation. Definitely will return when in the area.

Had lunch with my family on New Year’s Day. There were very accommodating to my 8yr old niece, she actually ate all her food which alone is an everyday task... Our waiter Giuseppe was on point and offered a bit of old school Italian flair. Everything we ate from the fritto misto to the pasta dishes were so flavorful and the pastas were cooked perfectly. The dining room was certainly nothing spectacular but we didn’t come to stare at the walls we came to eat the food. I certainly would love to go back as soon as I can. I strongly recommend you give it a try.

I love this place. I have eaten here many times with my family growing up and I love the atmosphere here. Last summer when both my sisters were 8 months pregnant we hosted their baby shower here. It was nostalgic for us as our grandparents used to take us here often. Mauricio even remembered our grandfather who passed away in 2020. If that is not great customer service he also worked with us to create a menu, accommodated 80 people and the service was phenomenal. Our guests enjoyed the food and Basilio's really made a beautiful celebration that much better. Thank-you!
