Our first time there and we would go again. The mushroom/fungi appetizer was to die for! Our meal was very good. The bread was fresh and the wine was wonderful. The waiter was from Italy and very knowledgeable. Nice restaurant for Olympia.

It's been a while since we last visited Basilico. This is because the restaurant is Not Cheap. At all. It is one of those places you eat at when it's a very special occasion. This was one: our wedding anniversary. I think I'd mentioned it...More

WOW! My son & I visited Basilico after looking at reviews online. The service was superb! I asked about two choices and ended up getting the special which was scallops. OH MY!! Literally the best scallops I've ever eaten! I can still taste them if...More

Not sure why others are so fond of this place. The service was lacksidasical at best & very very rushed (ie, entrée brought when salads were still being consumed); rushed even to the point of asking if we wanted dessert while still eating entrees! They...More
