Basilico is a true gem for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, youâre enveloped by the warm, inviting ambianceâsoft lighting, rustic decor, and the delightful aroma of fresh herbs and simmering sauces.
The menu is a culinary journey through Italy, featuring classic dishes that are expertly crafted.

The tables with white tablecloths are well spaced out. The service was excellent. Ylli, our server, recommended the "Zuppa di Pesce." The seafood broth was tasty and delicious.

Basilico is a great addition to the dining scene in Pelham. Will definitely...
   Read moreHad a lovely first date with Ann at Basilico on a calm Sunday night. The setting was comfortable and welcoming, with just the right amount of warmth and quiet to make the evening feel easy and natural.
Jay, our server, was excellentâfriendly, attentive, and professional without ever being overbearing. He struck that perfect balance thatâs hard to come by.
The food was great, especially the salmonâit was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The lemony sauce that came with it really stood out. Ann, in a thoughtful little moment, asked Jay if he could send some of it home with me. It was a small thing, but it meant a lot.
Basilico is a gemâgood food, great service, and the kind of atmosphere that lets a night unfold naturally....
