Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
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.
