Review Summary

Reviews portray Basilico Pizza and Pasta as a cozy Italian spot on Nuns' Island with wood fired pizzas and tasty pastas. Guests describe a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, with a standout hostess who helps make each visit special and a team that takes care of diners well. Pizza is often praised, especially the margherita, and the pastas, such as carbonara, are noted for freshness and al dente texture, with some diners calling the pizza among the best in Montreal. Several remarks advise making a reservation during busy periods because the place can be crowded and noisy, but the overall experience is seen as worth a visit. A few comments mention that the pizzas have become more average since the original pizzaiolo left, yet many continue to enjoy the meal along with dessert options like panna cotta and Nutella pizza.

We came with no reservation last Friday just to see how it is & they found us a seat in between other reservations!

We only had about 1.5hr but it was more than enough as the food came so fast & the waitresses were super prompt in everything.

Aranza's recommendations were all good - we had carbonara pasta (the sauce is real diff) & Rustica pizza, with a nice fruity cocktail & beer. She was also very kind & sweet to us.

Thanks Aranza!

The food was excellent. Small, normal-size servings unlike what you get in the US! The desserts were great, not too sweet. Try their version of the key lime pie. The service was ok. They recommended the wrong type of wine for the pasta that was served & they mixed up my husband's dessert drink. He requested a Prosecco but was given Graffa. The waitress realized the mistake when he asked if it was a new type of Prosecco. She quickly corrected the error & was super nice throughout the evening.

Pastas are excellent! Service is great! However, the salad portions should be bigger for the price & prosciutto should be real prosciutto, not ham.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basilico & my experience was simply amazing. The service was unparalleled & our waitress was extremely knowledgeable, helping us pick the perfect wine to pair with our meal. However, the pasta carbonara was EQUISITE! The sauce was rich yet silky & packed with bright flavors that blended beautifully into the most-perfectly cooked pasta I have ever experienced on this side of the Atlantic. I urge you to have your next meal at Basilico. You will love it.

Had the pleasure of having our team lunch there today. Everything was just perfect. The food was amazing. Very authentic Italian. Some members of the team tried different pizzas, & enjoyed them. Others had salads, where the portions were perfect. I had the pasta bolognese. The sauce was too die for. I had it with penne. It was so good that I took my time eating it, because I didn't want it to end. I highly recommend this place. I am already looking forward to going again, but for a nice romantic dinner with my lovely wife.
