    After the show, we had dinner at Basilico in Milburne, a restaurant we highly recommend. We have immense respect for this exceptional establishment. The welcoming smile upon arrival creates a soothing atmosphere, and our server's friendly greeting upon seating adds to the warm ambiance. As our server expertly opens our wine and presents the day's specials, we appreciate the exceptional service, lack of rush, and the culinary experience, which showcases the chef's passion and delights our palates.

    We enjoyed our dinner last night at Basilico, food was amazing and the service was superb. The fillet mignon was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, one of our friends tried the squid ink pasta and that was also quite delicious. Basilico is one of our favorite restaurants and we highly recommend it, if you are looking for a nice restaurant with great food at a reasonable price.

    We decided to try Basilico during Millburn's Restaurant Week since they offered a nice menu. We were very impressed with the delicious food, excellent service, and lovely ambiance. My husband had the Fettuccine Alfredo while I had the Cod Oreganato over spinach risotto. My fish was cooked perfectly and was outstanding. We both started with Ceasar salads which were very good. Even the complimentary bread was great. We were too full to enjoy desserts. We will definitely return!

    Our food was delicious! Gnocchi with truffle sauce was the best I’ve had! ( But $60 for an appetizer was expensive!) should have been a lot less. Over all the food was perfect an delicious 😋

    We were disappointed. We have been going to Basilico for about 15 years and always enjoyed it. The lettuce in the salad was old. The tomato sauce was too vinegar ish. And the prices have gone out the roof. $42.00 for a piece of fish? Not cool. Sad.

    Excellent menu and service. Very good ability to meet dietary restrictions. BYOB. Lots of low-cost parking in township parking lots (free after 6PM and on Sundays). Highly recommended.
