位於Ashland​的優質義式​餐廳

We had a booth which was lovely for our book club discussion. Our server was excellent and we each had the grain salads, which were excellent! We had a lovely evening!

It has been over 2 decades since I last ate here! Ownership has changed and the menu probably has as well. What you would expect of an Italian restaurant in terms of food and quality of seafood was good. Mussels appetizer had 2 of 30 (or so) that didn't open. Branzino was a good size and cooked well. Service was perhaps a bit overly attentive at the beginning as if they were in a rush for us to order by asking us every couple of minutes if we were ready, but once we did, never felt rushed to leave the table the rest of the night.

Our waiter, Scott, was very attentive and helped with our special order.

Food and service was top notch! If I can add 1 ‘thought’: if you’d remove just 1 block of tables along the booth wall I think it would make a world of difference. The server kept bumping against our table while she scooted in to serve our neighboring tables. Just a little more space would create a more intimate setting. My husband and I prefer ‘date night’ seating and I feel there’s only possibly 2/3 tables that would meet that desire. Finally- I DO want to thank the mgr for allowing us to stay at a 4 person table(as we were only 2). The alternative would really have had an impact on my review. PS. Just omit 1 table😁

Per usual we had a wonderful meal last night and introduced Basil to the couple we dined with and they agreed! Our server was great and brought our drinks over so quickly followed by an appetizer of chilli glazed calamari which was so good. Two of us ordered duck, mine with the twice stuffed potato, another got the swordfish special which presented with such a thick piece of fish which my friend loved and devoured! Another got salmon and was very pleased. We all shared slices of key lime pie and the special pecan pie aka mode both of which were yummy! The only criticism I would make is the bread served was cold and a bit on the dry side. Perhaps a more interesting and warm bread would be nice. Make sure to have reservations as this place is jumping on weekends with long walk in wait times. Basil has become our favourite go to in the area!
