4 Reviews for “Basilico Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria”

    I have walked past here 1000 times and finally decided to stop in. Very crowded and busy. The pizza-making guys were flat out. Service was quick and they kept my beer coming. Pizza was very good and I enjoyed the whole experience.

    I have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions. Frankly, I was surprised to read the review by markthepoint about rude comments by the owner and mistakes by the staff. Either he is terribly unlucky or I am very lucky, because I have only had very good service there, and the manager (maybe the owner, I’m not sure, but always the same guy) has been nothing if not considerate and accommodating.

    As for food, I have only had pizza there. That was my reason for going the first time. They have some fancy, carousel, wood fired, computerized, all singing and dancing oven that is supposed to ensure a perfectly done crust, Neapolitan-styled. I was pretty impressed. I like lots of veggies on my pizza, and they tend to throw a lot of water, which often makes for a soggy, runny center. Not so with their pizza. The only time I was not 100% happy with my pizza was when I ordered ham and thought it was a bit salty for my taste, but it is not uncommon for me to think that of ham. Shame on me.

    I did enjoy their house wine. Their red, instead of a traditional Chianti, is 100% Sangiovese, and goes surprisingly well with the pizza. Good choice.

    But now the downside. The wine is expensive, and the beer is outrageously expensive. And that is even before they add the 10% service fee and the 7% tax. If you are the type that likes to go and unwind with friends over a beer or three before you order your food, this place becomes less attractive.

    What has happened to me on occasion is that, while I intend to go to Basilico’s, I stop at PanPan first, because their beer is reasonably priced (and they are super-friendly people, too), and then end up eating at PanPan.

    By rights, this restaurant should rate a 4, but for the beer/wine prices. That element does take away from the total experience.

    Only had take away and it was good. it is always busy but I prefer Pan Pan right next door. Food is better and a lot cheaper.

    Personally everytime I have been here I have been dissapointed. From rude comments from the owner to mistakes by the staff to my food being far too salty. However it always seems to be busy so it must be doing something right

Simply incredible! Great food and decent value for money too. The manager bought a dish with chicken on the bone when we had ordered off the bone. When we said we didn't want it he offered us another dish a didn't charge us for the first one - which was still left on the table for us to pick at! The portion sizes were very generous and flavour was first class. The indo-chinese chilli chicken was sensational as was the butter chicken - 2 dishes could have fed 4 people really. Naan and rice also enough to hsare with 3-4 people. whole meal for 2 around 700 baht which considering the quantity and quality was great. highly recommended!!

We are honeymoon couple, we found this place not too far from our hotel.As we seated in the outside table overlooking the beautiful romantic garden, and they proceed, this has got to have the worst service I have ever experienced. We love trying new Thai food places and I always try to find the good in every place but I could not find the good here except for maybe a nice location. The service was unbelievably bad/rude. By bad I mean slow to serve our order, rude staff and dirty tables. Then once you survive the service, you have to survive the food! It was awful. Everything must be bad because we waited too long for the food. I can guarantee you that customer service is a low priority. With many choices for Fine Dinning in Bangkok, this is not a place you need to go.

I had one of the best dining experiences of my life at this plush, almost over-the-top restaurant at the top of the Landmark Hotel. The quality of the steaks, the diversity of the menu, the unrelentingly devotion to service, the knowledgeable barmen, and...finally, most importantly the quality of the food. Do not come here for avant-garde gourmet experiments that seem in vogue everywhere now. DO come here for the old fashioned devotion to good beef in most of its forms and the usual accompaniments done perfectly. This is truly a version of the top steakhouses I used to visit in the 60s in places like Kansas City, Chicago, New York, and Dallas, where customers were treated like royalty, beef was an artform, and where the start almost always included a perfect martini or a manhattan. Top menu features include angus grass fed prime beef, wagyu beef, the freshest oysters I have ever tasted, and foix gras so rich and delicious that you forget how sinful it is. The RR&B have the most gracious serving staff in Bangkok. You will be charmed by the spectacular view as well. Top dollar here but not so excessive as to exceed your sense of worth. You will leave well satisfied on all counts.

Attentive staff, convenient location close to nightlife and MRT/BTS make this a good choice for me. The Internet connection this time around (unlike the last time) has been just fine. Breakfast is a bit lackluster, but serviceable. I do get the impression that the interior is showing a bit of wear and tear, but not an "ewww" factor. I don't need the pool as I don't want to be mistaken for a misplaced Seaworld attraction so no comments there. All-in-all, I would definitely stay there again. Call it 3-1/2 stars.

A group of seven of us decided to try the Sunday Brunch. BHT 1000 got us five hours of unlimited food and drinks - including, beer, wine, spirits and cocktails. Food included steak, pizza, vegetables, sausages, chicken, kebabs, salad - even bacon and eggs. The staff were great - and the food and drinks were excellent.

This is a traditional Pub right in the heart of the busy soi cowboy area. If you really appreciate getting out of the hustle and bustle and enjoy some great food and at good price. This is the place. Very quiet. Can make some expat friends in here. Great English breakfast.

I have been here on two occasions and my family and I have not been that impressed with the Pizza or the pasta dishes. I would say they are average, the wine selection is nice and the salads are good, but the hot food is more production quality than tastefully done. Luigi's around the corner is outstanding.

After reading the reviews on this website I was really looking forward to experiencing this restaurant. Went with a friend of mine from out of town. In short, we really liked this place. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. We crossed over Sukhumvit and headed over to Soi 3/1. My friend had never been down this Soi. As Soi's go this is a nice Soi and worth a stroll just to see. It has stamped concrete to walk and is kept fairly clean compared to other Sois. After a couple of invites from other restaurants to join them we made it to Shahrazad. While many other restaurants had plenty of seating from what we could see, Shahrazad was full. I took this as a good sign. There were two of us and the only table left was one of the big 5-6 person tables in the back corner. The owner sat us down at this table. For me this elevated the place immediately. I don't know how many times I've been to other restaurants in BKK where a similar situation we would have been asked to wait for a smaller table so they could save the bigger table, presumably for a bigger party. Our meal was pretty basic. We ordered a hummus/salad/babaganush sampler, mixed grill (chicken/lamb), lamb chops, and 3 garlic Nan. It was all good. Hummus and other items on the sampler were awesome, the chicken was very tasty and moist. The lamb chops were very flavorful. And the garlic Nan is the way to go. There was enough food as 1 piece of Nan was left along with a small schemer of the hummus. The total bill for the food and the water we drank was 610 baht. In my opinion well worth the price. I will be coming back here soon.

Not the cheapest italian in town, but tasty food! We went there about 4 in the morning and took the spaghetti with the crab, lovely stuff. The shared tiramisu was so delicious that we took an other one later. The service was very friendly. I'll go there again, after a diconight.
