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!

Bien qu'il existe de nombreuses pizzérias, rares sont celles qui égalent la qualité exceptionnelle des plats de cet établissement. Si l'on ajoute à cela des prix très abordables & un service impeccable, c'est un véritable bonheur, tant pour moi que pour les résidents de l'Île-des-Soeurs qui le fréquentent assidûment.
