Absolutely wonderful. I first found this place during the lockdown they were defying all of the mandates. I drove 40 miles to come and eat here they wouldn’t even let me wear a mask I was so happy to see a packed restaurant and an owner with courage. Tonight 5/10/2025 I thought I might drive down and give them some business, so I drove another 45 miles and I had the most wonderful bone-in ribeye with some pasta and excellent bread with soft butter and a wonderful little salad that was super flavorful and made with love. I’m at the waiter and as an old man I’m embarrassed to admit I forgot his name but he had a beard and he was a very nice guy. I originally thought my steak might have been cooked a little too much cuz I ordered it medium rare / chefs discretion and upon further investigation I found that it was cooked perfectly super tender super juicy and excellent If I could have it cooked that way at every restaurant I definitely would. I highly recommend this place great music great atmosphere and I will be back because I like to spend my money at great places and this is definitely a great place. I highly commend the owner I hope he gives an option to charge extra for people that use credit cards or to give a discount for people that use cash. We are paying the banks way too much and we the people are not benefiting.

We have been wanting to try Basilico’s Pasta e Vino for quite quite some time because we would always drive past this. Before even reading the reviews and stepping foot into the door, I knew that this restaurant was going to be a be worth trying.
And let me tell you it exceeded our expectations! This is our first time trying this restaurant.
From the moment of walking into a very romantic and ambience atmosphere. We were greeted and enjoyed the entire experience.
The cocktails were handcrafted and delicious. The bread came out warm with what could have been House-made butter.
I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and my husband ordered the mazza of Mazza.
We enjoyed the meal and order dessert. We enjoyed the delicious House made tiramisu.
As small business owners we prioritize and love to support local restaurants and we will definitely be coming back again to try other amazing dishes and cocktails.
As we were heading out, we had the pleasure of meeting Tony the owner and appreciated his hospitality and warmth.

My family took me here fir my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was wonderful, owner/manager even checked on us to make sure everything was good and asked if we came for anything special and when he found out it was my bday they brought us a delicious cannoli. Not best pictures but portions are generous and flavor is excellent. Alfredo with sausage, Seafood risotto and Cioppino pictured. Yummy, definitely plan to return.

After years of five star service and food, I have given this place three stars because of the quallty of the food that I was given four visits in a row. I have come to his establishment nearly once a month with absolutely no problem. Recently, after the price increase, the quality of the rosemary Ribeye has gone down substantially. The consistency of the cook time is no longer the same. Some parts are medium rare while others are well done. This has happened four visits now.

I LOVE Basilico’s!! I love the food and the atmosphere! Whenever we have friends in town, Basilico’s is the place we go! Our friends are always really impressed! It’s an old school family owned business! It’s a very popular restaurant here in Huntington Beach! I have never been to Italy but feel like I am there with the cool music, lighting, artwork, roses on the table, crisp white table cloths, EXCELLENT FOOD and AWESOME SERVICE! One of my favorites is the Eggplant Parmesan…I don’t really like eggplant but I LOVE this! I always have some to take home, the servings are quite large!! You can’t go wrong with Basilico’s!

Our first time here!! Very crispy skin on my perfectly cooked salmon on top of penne pasta with Sun dries tomatoes. It was so flavorful, the portion of salmon was very generous and the fish was very moist.
My fiance got meat balls and Bolognese, which was also excellent. We paired it with.a nice cab blend. Can’t wait to go back and try more.
