Basilico - Menu

Their pasta alla norma was the best one I had during Sicily trip. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. I strongly recommend!

Very good Italian good. We tried pasta and ravioli and both dishes were very good. House wine also was good. Very reasonable prices.

This restaurant is located close to the cathedral on Via M. Coffa. A bit har to find but worth it. Excellent service and very good food. I recommend it. View menu

excellent and plentiful fish dishes at a price more than honest only stonata note we asked three mojito and to wait to bring the first instead it all arrived together.

Our dinner at this restaurant was a very nice experience. The seafood antipasto was mixed with mussels, langoustines, shrimps and other seafood. The presentation was also superb. I cannot not mention the pepata di cozze and the sword fish alla Siciliana.

the restaurant is purely touristic, located in a street full of other tourist restaurants. no doubt good, but nothing special. I'd come back if I didn't have any other options. average quality, nice and well organized place, good staff. Would I recommend it? No, but yes if you do not have great claims. View menu

We were drawn to this restaurant as we couldn’t get in the one we had originally intended and this was packed. After sitting down we realised that no one in the restaurant was Italian which set off some warning bells. We had the house wine which I wouldn’t recommend and pasta followed by fish and prawns. The pasta was not as good as others we’ve tried in the area and the prawns definitely not fresh.

Near the Cathedral, this is an inexpensive nice little trattoria with a friendly service and decent pasta and other dishes served competently and quickly. I had the pasta al astiche of the day with a half lobster perched alongside the homemade tomato spaghetti for €23 and a generous starter plate with various cheeses, salami, olives etc for €8, in excellent and freshly cut quality. Pleasant airconditioned indoor dining room and table outside too. Make sure to mention any allergies when ordering.

We went in to eat dinner based on other reviews. It was nothing special. I don’t normally review foreign restaurants because our expectations on food quality and taste aren’t always the same. In this case I’m making an exception. The service was very slow. My husband ordered pork chops and I ordered a burger. He got a side dish of vegetables when my meal arrived. We waited to see if his chops were forthcoming and finally asked about them after a few minutes. 10 minutes later a plate showed up with ribs on it. He did say it was a decent taste even though still not the right dish. My burger had a lot of gristle in it. All in all, a disappointment. We’ve been in Italy for over a month and this... View menu
