Basilico Ristorante

Having dinner before a show. Quaint Italian restaurant in the Springs loved by the locals. Food is excellent, Started with the Caesar salad with homemade dressing and croutons. For my main dish I chose the Bolognese, couldn't finish it due to size of dish. Wait staff on point and attentive. Owner came out and spoke to us, very kind.Ambient music is at perfect volume, we were all able to have conversations and hear each other. Girls had deserts made in house. Restaurant has a small 6 seat bar with a single TV. Seems to be ample easy parking.Not sure what else to say other than that it was a wonderful meal and great company.Recommend Basilica Ristorante for a great Italian dinner.

What can I say!!! Favorite Italian in America. Maybe favorite of any cuisine. Mario was great while waiting on every table. Pear/fig ravioli, shrimp/lobster fettuccini and the fish special were wonderful (and I'm from Louisiana--meaning a fish/seafood snob). Crème brûlée and port to cap off a wonderful evening. Wish I lived near Miami airport.

Basilico Restaurant is a cozy gem in Miami Springs that instantly makes you feel at home. Despite its modest size, with about eight tables, the warmth and friendliness of the place are boundless. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming waitstaff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and appreciated, embodying the true spirit of hospitality.The culinary experience at Basilico is exceptional. The Branzino, perfectly cooked, is a standout, served with a delicious side of spaghetti that complements the fish wonderfully. However, the real showstopper for me was the burrata salad. The cheese was sublime--creamy and fresh, paired with perfectly ripe tomatoes, it was a dish I won't soon forget. To top it off, the wine selection is excellent, with my glass served chilled to perfection, enhancing the overall dining experience.Basilico Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it's a place where you're treated like family, where every meal feels like a special occasion. For anyone looking for a slice of home with a side of exquisite Italian cuisine, Basilico is a must-visit. Can't wait to return and indulge in the warmth and flavors that make this place so unique

Well as we celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary I asked my beautiful wife where she wanted to eat and all she said was Basilico. So here we are and we decided to try new items and expand our pallet.

This location is very close to the airport. Although the outside is small and it looks like it is in a strip mall by the side of a highway, the inside is an elegant dining experience. all the servers are extremely well versed and courteous. The food was absolutely delicious and we were surprised by the amount of food. The clams are so fresh!!! The star of the night was the beef carpaccio appetizer. It was so light and not salty at all.

Consistently a gem. How do they remember us when we are there in frequently?! It feels like the best of an old-school Italian bistro, where they remember you, and treat you like a special guest. They seem to do this with everyone. We discover this place because of our business partner who's been coming here for probably as many years as it's been open. I love their spinach salad and skip the cheese. It's really not needed. The pasta dishes are wonderful and they offer some things that can be done for the vegan as well. The meat eaters in our family really loved their food. Fresh, delicious, and fabulous service as always. It's a little gym in a strip mall by the airport. If you're staying at the Candlewood suites by the airport, you can walk to it in five minutes.

Amazing food and service, it's our to go place for a quick lunch. Parking is always a problem but the food is so good that compensates!

Great food and very attentive staff. The food wait was just right. The ambience is nice without being pretentious. I highly recommend.

One of my favorite spots for Lunch. I recommend the Pear Ravioli or the Veal with Marsala Mushroom sauce.Top it off with the FREE salad or soup for lunch.Service is great and the people are super friendly.

Fresh and delicious food. Outstanding wine selection. I love the vivid ambiance! ALWAYS great service. I love Basilico!The best restaurant in Doral by far. Never disappointed!
