Reviews describe Basilico Pizza and Pasta as a cozy Italian spot on Nuns' Island with wood fired pizzas and fresh pastas delivering authentic flavors, especially the carbonara, and desserts such as panna cotta and Nutella pizza; however some diners note that pizza quality has declined since the original pizzaiolo left and now leans toward an average American style, while others still find the pizzas decent and worth a visit. The setting is inviting but can be noisy and crowded with densely placed tables, and service can feel slower when busy, though the staff is generally friendly and attentive. The restaurant is regarded as a neighborhood staple that attracts locals and visitors alike, offering a true Italian dining experience with a warm welcome, and reservations are often recommended to secure a table.View restaurant profile
