Beers in cold locker may seem specific and they are! Shelly makes sure to stock what her locals love. Subs are delicious, bread is soft and ingredients are crisp and fresh. Definitely recommend the pastrami Italian and get it all the way. Pizzas are delicious and made to order. Try one of her specialties or grab a classic.

Our server, Jordan, quickly got our cocktails while we looked at the specials. My winter gin cocktail was tasty and looked great.

Had so much bbq pork, and the cilantro, jalapeño, and pickled carrots added some spiciness. Am glad it was on a fresh baguette - too often they aren't at other restaurants

I stopped in a Basil's in Farmington recently for a quick bite…read more Stepping inside is like walking into a bright kitchen where food and pizzas are being made in one open area. The place is geared towards takeout and delivery which is order at the counter with very limited table seating. The menu offers thin crust pizza, Chicago deep dish pizza, gluten free pizza, calzones (with ricotta), strombolis, fried foods, subs, wraps, sandwiches, salads, quesadillas, and Pepsi products and juices in the coolers. They have pizza by the slice, and specials such as poutines, steak & cheese eggrolls, fried Oreos, fried raviolis, turtle cheesecake. I ordered a Slice of Pepperoni Pizza ($3.78 with tax), which heated up in the oven and served to me. The thin crust pizza slice was topped with a zesty red sauce to the edge, melted cheese and topped with 12 pepperoni slices filling up the slice on a firm chewy thin crust. The pizza slice was a pretty good quick snack. On a future visit, I would like to try out one of their Chicago deep dish pizzas.

We loved her. The food, though, was just... fine. I'm a big pasta and sauce person, and while everything was perfectly decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype we'd heard going in. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. My espresso martini was good, but nothing special. That said, the building itself is charming and a little eccentric in a good way. I can definitely see how the experience would be elevated in warmer weather--sitting out on the patio overlooking the river would be a big plus. Overall, a good night thanks to great service and atmosphere, but the food didn't quite wow us.

Okay so I'm in the middle of the road on this one and I gonna write out a long review because of…read moreit. I'm not trashing this place because the food was ok. The prices were okay for the entrees, high for the appetizers and high for the deserts. First thing, first impressions. The building its self looks really nice, that with the sign out front make you feel like it's a classy place. Walking in you see the rainbow flag, You get inside and your greeted with a life sized cut out of Bernie Sanders. The Hostess was dismissive and seemed uninterested in helping anyone ( I have a feeling she may be the owner), customers dont generally like standing in front of an empty hostess desk. The feel of the restaurant is like a dirty, Chinese food restaurant that was built in an old house. Our party was four and we sat at a small table that was barely big enough for two appetizers on the table at the same time. I would recommend maybe 36"-42" square tables for 4. The food. They gave us a basket of bread and some dipping oil with herbs. It was ok, kinda bla... the bread was fresh but more like hoagie roll bread. We chose a small barbecue brisket pizza and some bruschetta as our apps. Pizza was good though I feel the onions needed to be cut and not left in rings... minor thing. Other than it being a small appetizer for the money, The bruschetta tasted good however the bread they served it on was more of the hoagie rolls sliced. My opinion, bruschetta needs to be served on sour dough French bread baguette or that style of crusty airy bread... not wonder bread. We ordered chicken parm, one with vodka sauce and one traditional, chicken franchise and the beef tenderloin tip over pasta. First off, we didn't get vodka sauce, clearly they don't know what vodka sauce is. There was no cream in that sauce. With that aside, the chicken parm's were good, the sauce was heavy on the pepper. I substituted the pasta for fries and would have liked to have seen more. The franchise was a smaller portion and the beef and pasta dish was a quite generous portion. All tasted good and worth the money despite the flaws. The desert was expensive for the portion size and the fact that it's clearly not homemade. Service was OK. Not great. The restaurant was mostly empty and you shouldn't need to ask for more water when the waitress can see the glass has been empty for 5 minutes plus. I went to the restroom and saw that they weren't labeled... it was labeled with the gender symbol but it was like all the gender symbols plus some I don't recognize, all in one. I was confused and it said single use. So I picked one since they were both open. Opened the door to see two stalls with garbage cans next to the toilet and it was pink. Clearly the women's room. I immediately shut the door and tried the other one. It was black and white, one stall and a urinal. Clearly it was the men's room. I've always respected women's spaces and I had a physical reaction when I realized the bathroom wasn't my place to go. This was clearly two multi person, normal bathrooms. Men don't need garbage cans next to the toilet and women don't need urinals. There are ways to identify bathrooms as for everyone and single use without virtue signaling or pandering... I was put off Also business has no place for politics. Whatever your personal beliefs are, your restaurant should be a place for everyone to enjoy a meal. You need Good atmosphere, good food and good service for a good price. I think they have potential however I think the place is doomed. Lastly, if you're going to call yourself a pasta house, make your own pasta!
