I LOVE Basilico’s!! I love the food and the atmosphere! Whenever we have friends in town, Basilico’s is the place we go! Our friends are always really impressed! It’s an old school family owned business! It’s a very popular restaurant here in Huntington Beach! I have never been to Italy but feel like I am there with the cool music, lighting, artwork, roses on the table, crisp white table cloths, EXCELLENT FOOD and AWESOME SERVICE! One of my favorites is the Eggplant Parmesan…I don’t really like eggplant but I LOVE this! I always have some to take home, the servings are quite large!! You can’t go wrong with Basilico’s!

This place is like being invited into an Italian family's home. Cozy and warm with homestyle rustic Italian cooking. It has an old school east coast vibe from the food and cocktails to the service, music and ambiance. Nothing like it anywhere!

The lunch special is really good we get 2 full sandwiches, soup or salad and a glass of wine for an extra $5. We take one sandwich home for dinner it’s really reasonable

I have never had a bad meal yet, they always take care of me when I order their 24oz bone in ribeye that sits on top of fettuccine Alfredo, cooked to perfection every time. Service is always great and the bread they serve is baked fresh every time....live this place.

Great Food, Great Service, the Fresh Bread is the Best Bread I've had the Pleasure to enjoy. Super Hot and Toasty and Crisp to perfection served with Real Butter. The Combo Pasta Fettuccine and Angel Hair Arrabbiata is Spicy and Delicious. The Best**

Basilico's is one of the best Italian places I have ever had! Our experience last night was one of the best dining me and my family have had in recent times. Our server Will was exceptional and the owner even came around to check on the quality of all the food and service. A quaint and fun atmosphere and you can tell the owner was genuinely happy to have everyone in his restaurant. Likewise, the food is delicious! I highly recommend the lasagna or the steak milanesa but everything we had was amazing! Also, the meatball and sausage slider appetizers are to die for!

This place was recommended by a friend. So I tried it with my wife and man it felt super authentic. The food was marvelous. The atmosphere was very home style. Felt like I was visiting a family member. My wife loved the wine collection. Highly recommended 👌

Great service . Good food. Portions are large. The cannoli is good! We got it to take back to the hotel. Though food is good, would try another place when we are back in Huntington Beach.
Felicity Mendoza
Absolutely fabulous food. I ordered the lunch special yesterday and it did not disappoint. Soft but crusty bread, savory meatball, perfect amount of sauce, beautiful presentation. And the Italian clam chowder was phenomenal-roasted potatoes and hearty fish…so good. Order the cannoli.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basilico's Pasta e Vino and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is cozy and the ambiance is lovely. The restaurant's authentic Italian cuisine truly stood out, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were to my vegan preferences. The artichoke fritti, which they graciously customized for me by omitting the Parmesan, is a MUST!
What really struck me was the incredible energy that enveloped the place. It's one of those rare spots where you instantly feel at ease and excited to spend time.
What's more, the owner's personal touch made a lasting impression. His visit to each table, including ours, to ensure everyone's satisfaction, showcased a level of care and commitment that's hard to find. The service was impeccable and the food, a true testament to authentic Italian flavors done right.

I had wanted to go to this restaurant since the day it opened.
Once I went, I just keot going back! The friendly, caring staff, the cozy atmosphere, and the delicious Italian inspired dishes brings you back again and again.
We’ve not gone once that we didn’t meet new friends! Whether it’s a light repast of
Italian Wedding Souo and House Salad or my favorite Chicken Parmigiana - t’s always delicious!!

This has to be one of the best restaurants in OC. They have excellent food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. I always look forward to eating at Basilico's and will enjoy coming back for years to come.

Seafood pasta and a glass of Chianti was excellent out on the anticovid patio under a large USA flag and an AntiWoke smaller flag. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

The good was great, the service was excellent. The owner expressing his gratitude to patrons for visiting was priceless. Lovely family run establishment. Please support local businesses that stand up for our rights against this tyranny
Monica Udell
The food was excellent and the portions were generous. We drove over an hour to eat here and we were not disappointed. They even give salad with the meal which other restaurants charge for separately. Will definitely come back.
Cristina Roumeliotis
The service was amazing. Most of my food was delicious. The only thing that needs some improvement was the calamari. The breading was great and the sauce was to die for, but that's all it was... there was no actual calamari it was all breading. The portion was quite small too for the price. All in all, so glad it is back!
Becky Quarress
The service, the food, the atmosphere! All one of a kind here in Huntington Beach. The food alone is the best Italian food in Orange County. I’d recommend this place to everyone! It’s one of those places you won’t want to only want try once � #hooked
Mari May
We love our home away from home. Rose and Tony as well as their staff are family and their restaurant is the best around. I used to have a favorite dinner, but I’ve tried a few others so now, about half of the menu is a favorite! This is our go-to restaurant. Grazie all!!
Vivian Fernandez
The best food ever!! My favorite dish is the Linguine and Clams! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
Christine Davis Fredlov
Our 1st time at new location and we weren't disappointed. Good things are worth waiting for. Wish they could expand a little more for even more room. Food was great and piping hot!
Joe Hernandez
My wife and I love this place the food is delicious the wine is excellent and the service is great. Highly recommended!
Billy Kim Bryson
The best meat sauce lasagna in town! You must try.
Heather Tappen-Winchester
So amazing. Service is great and the food is insanely good! Their red sauce not only tastes awesome it’s gorgeous. If you haven’t been you need to go now!
Debbie Phillips
Love this place, can't wait for it to reopen. Please open soon!!! I need a Basilico's fix.
Sue Freer Gonzales
Still way too much garlic. Yikes.
We got there at 5:00 and got in right away which was better then the 3 hours we waited the time before.
Carrie Martin
As a Basilico's customer for nearly 20 years, we Loved the food and ambience as much as the former location. Thank you Rosemarie for re-opening your wonderful Italian restaurant!
Greg Schmidt
I was disappointed this trip to Basilicas. I thought the marinara sause was very acidic. I was surprised they don't have spaghetti bolonaise. I was told, by our waiter, to just break up the meatballs.
Ed Arango
Top notch food and service. If I could give it 6 stars, I would.
Kim French
Amazing food, great atmosphere. Everyone who works there is very friendly!
