Basilico — Restaurant in Bratislava

I did not choose from usual meals because of missing cheese (everything with tomatoes or sausage ...), so I chose the classic pizza - Margherita for 6.00 eur. I was waiting for it around 25 minutes (it was 3/5 occupied, orders mostly pizzas), so I had time to evaluate the staff and the surrounding area. I sat down at the table near chef workplace (he is Italian and do not speak Slovak), baked pizzas in the brick oven. Waiter as well as young waitress and other personal spoke Italian, although those waiters are probably Slovaks... The prices are a bit higher but OK, it's in the city center. But the price for beverages are too high, 1 liter jug of water with lemon 2.50 eur, 0.33l of mineral water 2.00 eur and St.. Pelegrino 0.75 of 4.50 euros! So I ordered a 0.33l of juice for 2.50 euros and I have got Cappy juice 0.5 l in a plastic and empty glass...

After a long waiting, finally my pizza came directly from chef as he saw busy waters, what was kind from him with word "prego", so I answered "grazie". The original Italian pizza has very good taste (little burned at the edge).

Overall, I left with mixed feelings. On the one hand, for me a strange menu (probably from Napli, in Slovak and Italian) and also the equipment (tables, chairs), there are nothing on the table when you are waiting for meal, 2 busy waiters, special wine card with about 10 pages ... but on the other hand the original Italian restaurant, with the Italian chef, the owners and the original Italian pizza. So, I give them only 4* for origin, due to not very professional waiters and I will definitely come back for piece of...

Pizza Basilico' ... come il nome del locale ma soprattutto come nome.della pizza che ho.scelto da gustarmi come fossi comodamente a Napoli, pur essendo qui tra le bellezze di Bratislava. Buona, saporita, cotta al punto giusto e soprattutto condita anche da due allegre nonché espansive chiacchiere con lo staff Italiano e Slovacco che sia ed anche con i commensali perché nei posti piccoli ci si sente a casa non ci si sente mai ospiti. Che siate di passaggio o.di permanenza a Bratislava ... provatela. Buon Appetito. 😋☺😋

Good pizza, skip the salad. No wifi for travelers.

At first I thought things were overpriced, but the pizza is HUGE. I had the Benevento pizza (tomatoes, mozzarella, olives, spicy sausage) & Gorgonzola/pear mixed green salad-nuts, olive oil, lemon & honey.

As some have said, the middle of the pizza is a bit soft, but I like that. Your taste may differ. Good flavor, the basil leaves are a nice touch.

I would skip the salad—it was overpriced and the greens were warm. I realize some of the ingredients are warm, but the salad should be chilled. Also, the Gorgonzola was virtually tasteless, as was the salad. As a Gorgonzola connoisseur, they may have picked a less striking variety for mass approval.

I think the strength of this restaurant is the pizza, not the salads.

Waitress was nice, although little English. I wanted to tip, but they can’t add a tip if you pay with credit card.

I wish they would offer Wi-Fi for those of us who just arrived and don’t have a Sim card. It’s 2022, should be a basic service...
