OSTERIA BASILICO

Osteria Basilico is the kind of place that feels like it’s trying to impress but ends up with a ‘meh’ vibe. Sure, Chris Lee praised their specials like rocket and prawns, but let’s be real—when a restaurant’s biggest win is the locals loving it, you know it’s a bit ‘vanilla’. Saloni's praise for the tiramisu might make you think it's a good spot for dessert, but the general consensus feels a bit lukewarm.

The service here can swing from ‘delightful’ to ‘confusing’. You’ve got Lloyd raving about consistent excellence, while Elen’s experience was more about decent food and a nice atmosphere without any fireworks. It’s not bad, but it’s not exactly thrilling. You might leave feeling satisfied, but don’t expect to be blown away. If you're looking for a safe dinner option, this one will do the job, but don’t go expecting a culinary epiphany.
