Mannnn ... I tell you, I am glad I walked through the doors of this establishment called Basilico located on Harrison Rd. It's located between Homemade and Mr. Tire. As I walked in, I was mesmerized by the decorations of Little Italy. There's a light blue and white vintage micro pick up truck parked in the front, to the left are display of variety of gelato, pastries, cakes; in the center is ordering station and to the right are self serve beverages and dining area throughout the building. Their menu has so many features from panini, sandwiches, pizzas, wraps, salads, soups and appetizers. Once you place your order, it's self seating and you will be given a number and the food will be walked to you or you can pick it up. I ordered 3 items: 1) Arancini 2) Eggplant and Tomato Panini 3) Bruschetta Pizza. The panini has eggplant, roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil pesto sauce. I thought I ordered a panini but the fresh mozzarella wasn't even melted. The skin of the eggplant was very chewy, a little tough. and the whole sandwich had great flavor. The panini also came with one side which you have variety of selections but I chose their mac n cheese. I'm surprised that they use cavatappi instead of the proper pasta. The pasta didnt really coat or absorb the flavors but ran away. My eyebrows lifted when the meat, peas and potatoes arancini arrive to the table because I wasn't expecting for them to be bigger than normal. I wouldn't say they are appetizer size but more like entree style because it can feed up to two people with generous portions that lies on top of marinara sauce. It was delicious but very heavy. They offer 15 varieties of pizzas and I order their bruschetta pizza which was topped with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and drizzle with balsamic glaze. The pizza was amazing but the under carriage was too soft and not crispy for me. Before i left, I had to get some gelato: coconut and their peanut butter chocolate which both of them were simply amazing. I also purchased their limoncello cake and peach raspberry strudel. I was excited about the limoncello cake, one of my favorites but unfortunately it fell flat for me. I didn't taste any lemon flavors and the cake itself was very dense. On the other hand, the strudel was delicious. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, light music and offer outside seating. I had immaculate service from Joshua, Chyna, Kayla and other staff members, they had great team work, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu. read more

This has become a regular place for us whenever we crave a pizza because they make the best crust! The gnocchi and pastas are always cooked perfectly and their chicken is never overdone. The gelatos are so good that we've never tried any of the beautiful pastries in the dessert case but the cannolis are on my list. The staff at this particular location is stellar, never sitting/standing around, always moving with a smile! read more

Came out to try out some of their stuff and was delighted. We ordered the cranberry turkey panini, breakfast croissant, tiramisu, cannoli and apple fritter. The staff was lovely too. panini was good real turkey, croissant was good, cannoli was a bit too much filling and the apple fritter was good. The tiramisu was the main reason for our trip and it did not disappoint!! Definitely coming back for the tiramisu in the future. read more

My cousin commented that this casual restaurant was well known around town and attested to their great Yelp reviews. The space is large. Plenty of tables and chairs; a big front counter/ordering area (I'm assuming during peak hours they can get pretty busy). When I visited, the brick strip plaza this is part of was obviously new(ish), so the inside looked clean; nice outdoor patio, too. I got a Garden Of Eating panini, added turkey, asked for it on a croissant instead of the default ciabatta. It was spectacular. The turkey and Brie cheese paired perfectly with the avocado, alfalfa sprouts and tomato. Their homemade basil pesto mayo was to die for. My trip to this place was back in the summer of 2021, so I'd like to think they still make their own bread fresh in-house, because the croissant was so soft and gently crisped from the panini press; incredible. The dessert selection here is stocked and ready to rumble. Big pieces of cheesecakes, creme brûlée, fruit tarts, and massive, I mean ginormous, eclairs (something like 7-8 inches long and 2 inches wide); also have gelato. I got a piece of their Tiramisu and it was fabulous! Perfect espresso to Italian cream ratio. The soaked ladyfingers were soft, but not complete mush. Dare I say... Dreamy! read more

Great food and atmosphere - I usually get food to go since it's close to home but the meatball sub and tiramisu are great!!!!

Food was very good. Careful of the prices. You pay a base amount for a lot of dishes and then start paying a lot of normal add ons.

I didn't enjoy my 1st experience with their food but I have been back numerous times and they are pretty good. Pizzas are good, Stromboli/calzones are good. Subs and sandwiches are good. Salads are good. Solid 4 out of 5. Hidden gem, give it a try. read more

The food is wonderful. We love their paninis. The service is also quite fast; you walk in, order at the register, sit, and within 15 minutes you typically have your food. It feels clean and classy. Where this place shines is with the sheer variety of their desserts. You get several options and many of them are good. My only complaint is sometimes there are desserts that taste like they've sat in a refrigerator for a while. read more

My wife wanted a grilled cheese and fries so I called and ordered 2 grilled cheese and fries to go pick up. They say 27 dollars and some change for that. I get there and look on their menu and if you get the same thing on the kids menu it is only five dollars for a grilled cheese and side. When I get home and open them, they give you a kids portion for the grilled cheese and fries charging you 15 dollars more for the same amount. I will not be getting ripped off like this again. Totally dissatisfied with how they rip you off. read more

Loves this place! We were in town for a soccer tournament and found this place thru Yelp. So glad we tried it. Everything was very tasty and the desserts looked amazing. Staff was very nice. read more

Order Togo: -Chicken Pesto panini + potato salad $12.00 Sandwich was yummy. Potato salad wasn't our favorite. Tasted like deli potato salad but my wife and I have had better. -Turkey cranberry sandwich + Mac & Cheese $12.00 Sand which was decent good not great like the Chicken Pesto Panini sandwich. The Mac & cheese was better than the potato salad. -Small Amerena gelato ice cream. $4.50 Wife really enjoyed the Gelato ice cream. -With tax + 20% Tip (5.70) -Total = $37.71 Service was fantastic, Bella M. Was fantastic at the register. We ordered Togo, and she was super welcoming, and super friendly and awesome. Looked through the glass cases and saw all the desserts and pasta sides. Restaurant was very clean from the looks of it. They have Italian scooters and an Italian small vehicle truck inside for decorations and etc. very cool place. Booths, tables, stools with high top. They have out door seating on the patio on the side. Very cool set up, very nice music playing, kinda like diner soft rock music. I'd definitely come back here. read more

Usually great food. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo today. I got balsamic fettuccine Alfredo. The cashier insisted on arguing with me instead of asking the cook if he may have prepared the incorrect dish. I know what fettuccine Alfredo tastes like. But with balsamic Alfredo on the menu I am certain there was a mix up. I refuse to argue with the cashier. I have the option to return or not. I don't support disrespectful service. I respectfully left a generous tip as it wasn't the (I'll say waitress) fault (even though you order at the counter). She did bring the food to the table and fetch our dirty dishes. I choose NOT to return to that Basilico due to the actions of their employee. I don't have to argue. Just hit them where it hurts, in the cash register. Bye, bye Basilico. read more

The water was undrinkable and tasted like soap. The fries tasted highly chemically. Panini was good 4.5/5 Pizza was ok 2.5/5 Ambiance was ok 2.5/5 Time to get food 3.75/5 (had to wait about 30 mins from when ordered at 2pm on a Saturday) Fries 0/5 horrible Water 0/5 horrible Staff 4/5 won points for friendly but weren't very communicative or solution oriented. Asking for a to-go pizza box became a challenge which is surprising considering it's a pizza place read more

Yesterday, I paid $13.36 for 2 slices of cake, $6 each cake. It means that the tax and their other fees are around 11.3%. Just keep it in mind when you go there. read more

The food is always good despite the fact that i always order the same thing and it somehow is always different. It's a fun surprise though! service is great but they did try to clear my plate with half of my panini still on it, it was funny but i'm nonconfrontational so i almost lost out on half my meal read more

Everything. Great food at least a 9-10. Atmosphere wonderful deserts are toooooo good.

While we have been here for the full Italian meal experience, this time we just went for dessert and coffee. They have a huge selection of cakes, cheesecakes, profiterole, and gelato! We have tried several of their extensive offering and haven't been disappointed. The limoncello cake is a light option, if you aren't looking for too much sweet. The chocolate mouse tuxedo cheesecake is ultimate decadence. The profiterole were excellent. However, the coffee left a bit to be desired. Our expresso cappuccinos were lack luster...very expensive, not much beverage, lukewarm, and took 30 minutes to be served. We'd definitely come here for dessert again, but skip the coffee until they can make improvements there! read more

You are greeted with a clean, bright open space so it is inviting. We had reservations for a small party. The staff worked fairly well delivering food and clearing plates. The food was nothing to get excited about. The Greek salad with chicken had fresh greens, tomatoes, feta and kalamata olives with sliced chicken on top. It tasted ok but it just wasn't anything special. The Turkey Cranberry panini was very bland. There was a smear of some type of cranberry but it was barely detectable. Out bill was $28 which is pretty pricey for a salad and sandwich. Oh, and they charge a credit card fee which they don't mention. read more

My car needed an oil change, so I took it to the Mr. Tire next door to Basilico. It made logical sense to walk over to check out the newish Italian fast-casual eatery/market during my wait. I walked in and the place was huge/bustling. Other folks were standing around looking at menus, so I walked up and grabbed one myself. I landed on the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with a side of mac and cheese fairly easily, so I placed my order, took a number, and grabbed a seat at a two-top. It didn't take long at all for my food to arrive (on par with somewhere like Panera, to give you an idea). I was surprised when an associate stopped by to check on me a bit later also -- typically when I dine solo no one bothers to speak to me, so that was a super nice surprise. Prices were reasonable. Menu was expansive. You could definitely "create your own adventure" here. It's not crazy original food by any means, but it's good quality and nicely filling. I'd return if I'm in the area again. read more

Awful experience. Four people and we spent $116. Three pasta bowls starting at $10.50. My son added bacon and chicken and Alfredo sauce. 10.50 turned into $22.00. My daughter ordered pasta bowl with pesto, bacon and chicken. My husband ordered gluten free pasta, red sauce and sausage. The meat in the pasta was minimal. For the cost, the portions were small. My kids enjoyed the pasta but it wasn't anything special. I ordered a pizza and it was fine. The sauce was sweet but it was ok. The fountain Diet Pepsi was out. My son told someone as did my husband. When they brought our food out, I let the lady know. Never changed it. $3 for three fountain sodas that we didn't get. We will not be back. read more

We've been eAting here since they opened a few years ago. Consistently great food and always ready fast in-store or for carry out. Highly recommended! read more

It's my first time ever at a Basilico, saw they had create your own sandwich as an option and saw focaccia bread was an option so that's the bread I chose. I love focaccia bread so when I got this I was really disappointed because this is not the bread I was expecting at all. This is their "focaccia bread". read more

The service was great! I ordered the Cobb salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious. It was fresh and crisp. There are two locations, one on Cowan Blvd and the other in Harrison Crossing. I frequent them both, but rating is for the location is for Harrison Crossing. I ordered to go, but very nice setting. read more

The dessert, food and the service is excellent. Will recommend the pizza and the chocolate cheesecake.

Great Italian subs and rest stop going to NC. Eat in or outside, very clean nice menu.

I used to like this location but recently, they have a number of health code violations: https://patch.com/virginia/fredericksburg/fredericksburg-health-inspections-kitchens-need-deep-cleaning. I will not visit this location any longer. The Cowan Blvd location is better. read more

Service is fine, but the food needs work. The food could have been better. They do have great desserts.

Delicious food and dessert! Very esthetically pleasing for the deli counter style. Food was delicious. I feel like the service was a little off because they were training someone. Only thing I would recommend is a bigger non-alcoholic drink selection. Even if it's in bottles. Just wasn't anything special. read more

This is the place to go for gelato! It is just like the gelato is in Italy very creamy and has the best fruit flavors. The pizzas and pastries are also very good and this restaurant is reasonably priced. read more

4/5. October 2018. Stopped here while visiting family in the area. Nice deli/pizzeria type place. I would say it leans more towards the deli than the pizza but I had a calzone which was excellent. They don't appear to offer full size pizzas but what they do offer is quite good. One slight issue is the Pepsi free style type machine. They have one and this tends to create a bit of a back up as they are quite busy and we stopped in on a Wednesday at lunch time. This isn't really a criticism of Basilico but the machines as it happens any place that has them because most people are slow using them. Overall, I would definitely recommend that you stop by if you are in the area. read more

A year ago, I would most likely rated this deli a 4 to 5. But the last year, your takeouts are downsized and flavors are inconsistent. I had the cornbeef and cabbage soup which had only I piece of cornbeef the size of a nickel. Geez where is quality control???? read more

Got to go here for our company holiday party. They rented out the side room for about 50 of us. They had a buffet spread for us. They had mashed potatoes, pasta with chicken on the side, mixed veggies, roast beef kinda thing(?), lasagna, and baked ziti. Also they had three types of salads and some bread along the side. It was overall very good. My main complaint was the veggies weren't cooked all the way because they were still a little hard. The staff was friendly and kept asking if we needed anything. read more
