This location is far better than the other Basilico in the area. Food is always perfectly cooked.

Great pizza! The crust was just the right thickness to be crunchy without being too thin

Amazing place for real Italian food . So many options to choose from. I love their bakery and desserts . Their coffee is Lavaza Italian coffee. The place stays packed but service is still amazing. 10/10 I recommend ! read more

The cookies are soooo good. I had the avocado toast and citrus salad. Both were very good. Almond cookies are my downfall, I love their cookies. read more

THe food is better than most places. I like there pasta salad. It could be a lot better though if they used better mayo. The Pizza is better than most of fredericksburg/stafford (that is not saying a lot). I give them a 3 because they messed up on the deserts. They have so many lovely looking deserts, but they mess up 9 out of ten of these. 1) the cannoli's they have are either huge or small (they never heard of just right) - Then they plaster these in chocolate chips because everyone loves that right? 2) The filling they use in everything is either unflavored whipped cream or lemon-flavored cream. Try eating an eclair with lemon cream (it's just gross). My favorite dessert (The Napoleon) They ruined this too. Flat tasting whipped cream and dry pastry. So Sad. But the heese cake and apple fritters are mostly fine. read more

What can't I say about Basilico other than it's hand down the best deli in the Burg! Absolute go to for something quick and easy, but with high quality ingredients. I love supporting local businesses and this is one of those places you go to eat at least once a week. I've been to both the Cowan and Harrison locations and both are superb. Customer service is always great and food is top notch. We love the pizza especially the bbq chicken pizza and the buffalo chicken pizza. I personally love the avocado chipotle chicken sandwich. Everything I've tried here is delicious. We've also have ordered a cake for my son's birthday. They have fresh gelato and a whole bunch of yummy desserts to pick from. If you are in the area check them out!!! read more

Food is great as usual. Kind of hard to hear in there. Ending up ordering more than I thought I was. Service was good and lady was very friendly that served us and made us very comfortable outside because the inside was full! read more

The Garden of Eating sandwich is The Highlight of my Week . . With a side of Mac and Cheese it is a Beautiful meal. Very Delicious and Tasty ! read more

I absolutely love this wrap! It's so light and tasty. The mac & cheese was super creamy and it's a pretty decent portion. The restaurant was extremely clean and the staff was very considerate. The only complaint I would say is the service was a little slow the last few times I've been here... but all in all this is the perfect lunch spot! read more

I wanted Italian and this place was ranked high on Yelp. I walked in and the staff just kinda looked at me. I stared at the menu for a solid 10 minutes before someone acknowledged my presence and asked what I wanted to order. At their recommendation, I ordered some kind of chicken penne pasta that was highly recommended.....it was not good. I got it for take away, but it was still piping hot when I got back to my hotel. The sauce was decent but the chicken tasted dry and had no flavor. I understand that this is probably catered to the nearby university but even college students deserve better than this. read more

Love the tomato orzo soup and their salads!! They could get better drink options though. read more

Amazing! Clean, excellent service and the food was great! We got pizza and tried the strawberry cake for dessert and were pleased with everything. read more

Hopefully Basilico will be coming to Stafford soon. Always love eating at here and it is simply outstanding. Fresh and made in front of you whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner. Your mouth will be watering when it comes to your table. And the deserts - Wow!! read more

The calzones are SO GOOD you'll probably eat the whole thing, even tho it's bigger than your head. The dough is just so amazing, and you can build your own! Every single soup of the day was completely perfect. The bisque's never disappoint, my husband and I always get 2 bowls. We go multiple times a week! The chocolate chip cheesecake- MUST TRY! It's got just the right amount chips every time. All the desserts look amazing, plus the gelato is always homemade. It's like you're in Italy. read more

Basilico is a good family restaurant. The food is good and the people are nice. Wonderful menu with good, healthy options too.

Ordered a gluten free pizza but neither the restaurant nor GrubHub alerted me that Basilico does not offer gluten free pizza. I discovered this after delivery in a complaint call to Basilico. Twenty Bucks down the drain read more

Basilico An Italian Deli and restaurant with coffee and baked goods.....what more could you ask for? Once again I referred to my YELP friends and they lead to this amazing place! Unbelievable selection on the menu. We got the ITALIAN HERO which was absolutely delicious. Plenty of meats, cheese, fresh veggies and fresh roll. As we were ordering saw an amazing pizza go by but couldn't get everything. (Next time) We shared a bowl of their Cuban black bean - very good, hot and lots of flavor. Also shared a their Tuscan Pasta salad which is perfect side for the sub. They also have a bakery which delicious baked goods that looked delectable. Settled for the New York Cherry Cheesecake. (That's packed to go) The thing that's perfect about the bakery - they're not huge servings. "Just right servings" Don't miss this spot on your Fredricksburg trip. Great "date night for you and your spouse". read more

On the way back from Mary Washington, I always wanted to try this restaurant but never did. It was highly recommended by one of my co-workers so finally I tried last weekend. I'm glad I tried!!! I love this restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. Not just food, they also sell great variaties of sweets and gelato. I wish I were living around that area - but then I would go there every day and it's not going to be a good idea (I would be huge). But, yes I will go there again!!! I had a margherita pizza (it was awesome) this time so I would like to try some pasta dishes next time. My favorite Italian restaurant so far!!!! read more

This was a stop on a drive from DC to Williamsburg. Service was great. Food was delicious. We split a side of meatballs and the tortellini special. We ended with dessert of courses: a crème filled lobster tail and a napoleon. Highly recommend. The prices were great too. read more

Been here twice now. Truly authentic Italian food. Amazing Coffee! Do yourself a favor, skip Olive Garden. Go here. The menu is just the right size and the dessert choices are EXPANSIVE. That area alone is worthy of a separate review and store front. The employees are super friendly and more than accommodating if you don't like something (picky kids) or just want to have a sample of something before committing. The owners talk to you as if you're family. Oh and make sure to grab a bottle of fresh olive oil on your way out! The price and quality truly can't be beat! This is a place even my Sicilian nonna would approve of and love. God rest her soul. I'll always come here when craving Italian. Top choice. read more

This was surprisingly a very good place. We were out in F'burg on a Saturday night and all of the usual spots had a 30-50 min wait. Here we went right in and had our food in decent time and it was hot! I had the lobster bisque with my sandwich and it was tasty. Overall a very good place and I would highly recommend. read more

The food at Basilico is fresh. Their sandwiches are distinctive. I am fond of the Fontina-apple sandwich on a croissant. Their citrus salad has a really delicious vinaigrette, not too acidic, not too sweet. Their desserts are delicious. They have a vast array of choices. Cakes, cannoli, gelato, and my favorite the crème brûlée. It is absolutely sublime. I have not eaten in the restaurant because I am disabled and cannot travel. I can pre-order and my husband will pick it up or I can have it delivered by one of the gig delivery services. However, if you can go there yourself or have somebody pick it up, this is my recommendation, so Basilicos will get all of, the revenue from your purchase! Lisa T read more

The lobster bisque here is amazing! We enjoyed our food so much we ordered from here twice in one week. We ordered an Italian Hero and Chicken Pesto Panini and both were amazing. We ordered this for delivery on DoorDash but we appreciated that our delivery came with warm rolls too! That was such a nice touch that we weren't expecting. read more

Came here as a lunch-over on our trip south. Two out of three of us was very pleased with our meal. We chose Basilico due to your Yelp reviews, and they were pretty spot on. Thanks!!! The place has a "restaurant" side where you order at the register and then sit down at a table or booth where the waitstaff will deliver your order to you. The other half of the facility is an Italian pastry/bakery and gelato station. Although all the pastries looked really good, we did not spend the money for the extra calories. My She-Crab soup could have had more crab, but it was one of the best tasting and creamiest soups I've had in a long time. Very enjoyable. I also had a lunch special fried chicken wrap which had lettuce, raw onion, cheddar cheese, bacon, and a dressing. This was also very tasty but skimped on the size of the chicken. Probably less than four ounces. The choice side of Mac and Cheese was good, but too creamy for me and not really a hit. It stayed mostly in the bowl. Wife had a chicken pesto panini which made her say that we'd come back to the restaurant if we were in the area again. She also really liked her side of potato salad with chunks of peppers and other stuff with the potatoes. Kid ordered what looked like it would be a great sandwich of roast pork based on the picture above the register. But, unfortunately, although piled high with roast pork, he felt it was very dry and unseasoned. It definitely needed bbq sauce which may have been on the condiment table, but we did not notice it until after he finished. He also wasn't happy with his bag of kettle chips...just not a fan. Service was quick in the crowded restaurant and friendly. $38 for three including two drinks. read more

Ordered this food on DoorDash, delivery went fine, wow really enjoyed this Italian sub, and they even send free bread with your order. Also ordered the lobster bisque as a side soup, for the price it was fantastic. Their fries were mediocre and soggy at least with delivery, won't get those again but hey the tomato basil soup was solid. Looking forward to eating in their restaurant to see what the service, freshness, and ambiance are like. I'll be honest, I did say ambiance right there because YELP keeps bugging me to rate ambiance lol. But yeah this place is great. read more

Okay so first, I'll have to say I do not enjoy leaving these type of reviews... On a positive note, the people working here were very kind. Now for the gluten-free arugula prosciutto "pizza". This was one of the most unenjoyable things I have ever eaten. I was told it's a "white" pizza...I've been to many pizza places and when someone says this, they usually means there is some sort of white sauce that is between the crust and the cheese. This was not true for this dish, it was absolutely dry and the flavor profile from the arugula amplifies this factor. Then there is the bottom of the crust, it was caked with dry flower. Then there is the crust was so arid and dry but yet spongy. This whole experience was like chewing a thin dry sponge caked in flower with arugula that doesn't help. The prosciutto was the only thing that had flavor. I even asked for a side of marinara in an attempt to drown out the misery of this "pizza" but that marinara couldn't even help. In all fairness they offered to remake or give me something else, but at this point I was so absolutely disappointed with the food quality I was not willing to try anything else here. On top of all this, it cost $28 for this. Expensive lesson learned for food. I have no idea if anything else here is even worth the caloric intake or not but it's a hard pass for me. As a business owner you should know if something is worth charging that much money for or if it is this terrible, don't even offer it to people. read more

Stopped in during a road trip down 95. Great menu, clean, nice service. Food was good though not as good as I had expected. Pizza and salads and mac'n'cheese were great. Sandwiches OK- but both sourdough and rye breads were on the dry/stale side. Maybe too close to closing- but we will for sure come by again on our next trip through Fredericksburg. read more

Basilico is the closest we have to a genuine NY deli with the variety and diversity you'd expect. They have wonderful service, it's always clean, and their gelato and Italian pastries are glorious. No matter what you are in the mood for, they probably have it, and it's delicious. The corned beef and pastrami sandwiches make me homesick for NYC but the salads, soups and stews are delicious too. Can't wait for sit outside weather again! read more

Delicious Italian food. Endless choices on dessert. Very nice staff. I always eat there when in the area.

This is one of our favorite places to eat! I LOVE the tuna and tomato with orzo soup. The gelato is sooo good! And the service is typically really cordial, personable, and professional. My mom LOVES their hot turkey and roast beef open faced platters and the zucchini bread. The food and bread are always fresh and I feel good every time I eat there. Every time we go we say we are going to try different things, but we are so stuck on our orders that we haven't moved much around the menu. The only draw back is that it is a bit expensive. read more

Always good food, fresh desserts. Nice large dining area and a large party area in the back

I bought 5 pastries for 30 dollars and they were old and hard, I haven't been in for 4 months and now I won't be back

This NY deli is the real deal. I've stopped here multiple times on the drive down from Northern VA and every time the quality and taste is amazing. Their menu is large but everything on it is good. Last time I tried the soup and salad combo and this tomato bisque was awesome! read more
