    shrimp parm
    Krista B.

    Gian Marco looks like your average slice and sauce spot, but past the pizza counter in front, there's a quiet, warmly lit dining room nestled in back. The tables are dressed with white tablecloths, but the vibe is welcoming and casual. Our server was prompt and professional. You get warm focaccia and an oil-and-pesto dipping sauce upon being seated. Our group shared a bunch of dishes, and our waiter was very accommodating. The food was phenomenal. The stuffed artichoke had a brown gravy on it, unusual but good. It was well cooked overall but the choke itself was ever so slightly underdone (I like it more tender though it was cooked, not saying it wasn't). The vodka rigatoni was divine. The chicken cacciatore tasted just like gramma used to make, except that hers cooked down all day so that the peppers and aromatics disintegrated. The shrimp parmesan with capellini was delicious. Finally, the tartufo was the perfect finish and was somehow a lighter option to share for dessert, maybe bc of the poofs of airy whipped cream. Really nothing bad to say here! BYOB. Street or garage parking. Mangia!

    Nice atmosphere, food was delicious we all enjoyed our dishes and its BYOB . Service was good. Not overpriced either! Took a nice walk afterwards to the park nearby.

    Tried the turbot tonight, lightly breaded in a lemon butter wine sauce over tomato and asparagus. It was outstanding. Bon appétit!

    Tried the turbot tonight. Very lightly breaded and in a lemon butter, wine sauce over some deliciously, fresh tomatoes, and asparagus. It was outstanding. The boom boom shrimp appetizer was yummy as well. Bon appétit!

    What a great place for good Italian food! My brother just moved to millburn and is exploring places to eat. We got takeout because of elderly and toddlers in the family. Everything was delicious probably would have been even better if we have eaten at the restaurant. The chicken parm was still super hot at least 30 mins from after we picked up and it was tasty and tender. All of the pasta dishes were excellent even my picky toddler asked for more. Service was great despite being such a busy restaurant. Would definitely go back again and perhaps dine in next time. The dinning area seems nice also.

The staff gave ample time for my family and I to say our hello's before greeting us with drink options. Upon sitting down our server brought us fresh bread and butter with flakey sea salt on top. For appetizers we had The Ralph Piccolo Pizza, Ricotta Crostini, Cacio E Pepe Fries, and Prosciutto Di Parma. All were insanely incredible. Great flavor, crispy where it needed to be crispy, soft where it needed to be soft. For my entree, I had the Crest De Gallo Pasta. The pomodoro sauce was on the savory side. It was a set menu and I am vegetarian, it was my option. It was good! I would love to return to try the Spicy Vodka Sauce Rigatoni. I am a spice lover. For dessert I had the most wonderful, rich, smooth chocolate mousse. The dish was called The Chocolate Spuma. It came with crumbled pistachios and fresh raspberries on the side of it. The flavors and textures together were perfect. The staff were so kind, had great humor, and fabulous manners. They held themselves very professionally. The head server for the event and the manager were lovely. I just had to pull the manager to the side and compliment all. I live 1.5 hours away but I would gladly book a weekend trip up to Maplewood, just to eat here again.

Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Got the GARLIC-CHEESE FLATBREAD, the EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA, and the MAKE YOUR OWN with penne, meatballs, roasted garlic, and Napolitana Tomato sauce. 4/5 on the first two, 4.5/5 on the MYO. Flatbread would be really good if it were had at the restaurant instead of takeout, however air frying it to crisp up the bread would definitely address that. My GF said the eggplant was good. And the MYO I got was really good. Nice flavorful meatballs, really good sauce, and the roasted garlic was perfect a perfect addition. There was enough of a portion of each dinner for two nights of meals so value-wise, this was an excellent dinner spot. May have to try dine-in next time we come back (and we will be back).

This special was a bit pricier but no problem at all as I really like carbonara. My thoughts on it was that I thought it lacked a bit in flavor but was still pretty good. I don't think I would ever get it again, but the spaghetti was all Dante and I could tell that it was made homemade and fresh and the quality of the pasta was very good. One stand out quality was that the pasta came out within five minutes of me ordering which is impeccable service. The waiters were also very friendly and asked a few times if we enjoyed our meal and if we needed anything which I appreciated. This restaurant is close to where I live and I look forward to trying it again as I think the value is very good. I would probably get something different next time.

I recently visited to celebrate my mom's birthday on an early Saturday afternoon. The food was spot-on and the service was very attentive. The atmosphere is nothing too over-the-top, but classy. A solid 'occasion' destination. We were first treated to a bread basket with an assortment of fresh breads and focaccia, with a trio of dips/spreads (a tomato/red pepper-ish dip, butter, and a bean dip). So good, we had to get a second basket! Annnnd onto the apps - we (a party of 6, 2 of which were kids), we ordered/shared the: Tartare di Tonno (Wild tuna tartare with cucumber, homemade chips - $17.95) - amazing, very fresh and believe it had some sort of dijon mustard kick that really took it over the top Calamari Fritti (Fried calamari with marinara sauce - $15.95) - crispy and served with a nice marinara sauce. Polpo alla Griglia (Tender charred Spanish octopus, chick peas, julienne carrots, string beans, radish, parsley, lemon, extra virgin olive oil - $20.95) - the octopus was perfectly cooked, and the chickpeas/carrots, etc., added some delightful brightness to the dish. For my meal , I opted for the trout stuffed with crab meat, capers, roasted potatoes and broccoli. The trout with crab meat was delicious and a nice sized portion as well. For dessert, we all shared the: Apple Cobbler (Served warm with cinnamon ice cream - $13.50) - absolutely divine! Probably the best one of the lot. Baked Alaska (ce cream, almond pound cake and baked meringue - $13.50) - fiery presentation and all, this one did not disappoint! Tartufo Trio (A trio of chocolate, vanilla and hazelnut semifreddo - $13.50). All in all, Basicilo is a neighborhood Italian institution, and rightfully so. Definitely worth keeping in the rotation and considered for occasions.
