Sweet Carolina, Bump, Bump, Bump, Good Times Never Seemed So Good…read more... Nothing can be finer than to get served by Carolina in the evening! Well, I took liberties with that old song and my apologies to Neil Diamond but in Basilico make sure your server is Carolina and you will "get my drift." She adds real personality to a terrific restaurant. We were just walking around and entered because the restaurant's bottom floor appeared quaint and full of regulars. We presumed they made delicious Italian food and we presumed correct. There were no English menus (this is never a turn off for us) but immediately Carolina said if we took a seat she would help us. We took a really nice window seat for two, had a glass of wine and Carolina pulled up a chair and basically acted like a little sister who has happy to familiarize you with a small town she had recently moved to. Anyway, we ordered bruschetta, ok I was surprised that there was but one piece, but it was excellent! We also had the Delizie di Mare and Maiale con Gorgonzola. The portions were large and both were expertly prepared. When we left we were stuffed, happy, and felt we had made a friend. It is rare that I choose an Italian restaurant outside of Italy but I highly recommend Basilico. It is a quaint, friendly, authentic Italian restaurant that serves up excellent food. Thanks for your help Carolina!

I'm not sure if Basilico is family-run... but it certainly has that feel. The menu is…read morequintessentially Italian with a wide offering of meat, fish, chicken and pasta dishes along with pizza. I've tried both one of the fish dishes (Salmone al Forno) as well as one of their pizzas (Prosciutto), and have enjoyed my food immensely each time. The prices are what I would call fair (in 2012: SEK 125-169 for pasta dishes; SEK 159-259 for entrées; SEK 95-124 for a 'classic' pizza, up to SEK 149 for one of their own creations) and the service is friendly. And don't forget to try their tiramisu. To die for!

I am generally not impressed with the level of cuisine quality in Uppsala. However, there are a…read morefew places that do a good job and I stick with them. Il Forno Italiano is one of those places. The restaurant is in an old house up near the cathedral and botanical gardens. It is very cozy inside, with low ceilings, intimate dining rooms, and candle lit tables. Every time I come here, the place is full and the dining room is buzzing. The service is friendly and helpful. They have a pretty good wine list. On my last visit, I got a glass of red and a basic margherita-type pizza. Nothing special, but the food is well done, so even the very simple dishes are tasty. I always have a great meal here. Although it is a bit of a hike from the hotels in the middle of town, it is worth the walk. After you stuff yourself with food at Il Forno, you will probably need to walk some of it off anyway.

I eat quite a lot of pizza so I know my stuff and these pizzas are tasty and decent, however by no means artisan, healthy or high quality. We got the 95 kr pizza menu - good price for a hungry crew. They make the pizzas fast so there were always a fresh one ready for grabs. The salad didn't look very fresh so we skipped it but we were only here for the pizzas anyway. The environment is what one can expect from these kinds of restaurants - nothing special but you're not entering to get a cosy food experience anyway. The staff were regular people doing their things - neither good or bad service. Would recommend it if you don't have any high expectations, want value for money and don't have so much time to dine. Enjoy!

Pasta upstairs, pizza downstairs. This review is about the pasta…read more The quantity of food for the price that you pay is great - less than Skr100 for salad, pasta, drink, a piece of bread, and a coffee/tea. So for travelers on a tight budget, this restaurant would be 4 stars. However, for those who are looking for high(er) quality food and don't mind paying a little extra, this restaurant is a solid 3 stars. My girlfriend and I ordered the Prosciutto and Carbonara pastas. The restaurant wasn't busy at around 6:30-7pm. Service was fast and food was good.

We got the Greek Salad and one of the vegetarian pizza. The service was very slow. They took almost 1 hour to bring out our items which should have been quite fast to prepare.

They have outdoor seating which we appreciated since the indoor dining while charming is a bit tight in these COVID times. Highly recommended.
