I'm going to round up to 4 stars, because I don't quite think it's a 3 star review. We had just seen a matinee at the Papermill and I've been told that Basilico does a mean Baked Alaska, so we had an early dinner here. We had a reservation at 5:45pm but they were able to seat us at 5:15pm, which was super awesome. The inside is quite large and it's a pretty romantic spot. We opted to split 2 appetizers and an entrée, since their portions looked pretty big. We had the carpaccio and the octopus, which were both fantastic. I loved the octopus, it was so tender and the dressing they tossed it in was acidic and refreshing. We had the braised short ribs with saffron risotto as our main and it was...
I had an incredible meal at this restaurant. Everything was fresh and packed with flavor! I was particularly impressed with the Frutti di Mare pasta and the Ossobucco, both of which featured wonderful fresh pasta. Be sure to save some space for dessert, as Donna, the pastry chef, has truly perfected her creations! The Napoleon was absolutely divine, and the tiramisu was equally delightful. The Chocolate Soufflé was also delicious and wonderfully light! If you find yourself in the Milburn area, Basilico is definitely the spot for dinner!
We had a great time here for dinner. Beautiful, local restaurant with street parking or small lot attached. They are BYOB, but also have so.e wines available for purchase. Great news...if you want one of their pastas, they are flexible and you can order an appetizer portion. They even split our cacio e pepe in the kitchen! Delicious. The lasagna and salmon were also very delicious. Overall, a nice evening with amazing service and reasonably priced. So glad that they survived the flood from last year. We'll be back.
Recently had dinner here before seeing a show at Papermill Playhouse. Even though they have a liquor license, they were kind enough to open some Prosecco we had brought with us. I loved seeing a bunch of gluten free options on the menu and truffle specials! I ordered the grilled artichoke and arugula salad which was very good. For my main dish I ordered one of the truffle specials homemade pappardelle with sausage, mushrooms, and truffles. Absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be back.

The ambience of the restaurant is nice especially on a warm spring day. But the food is just okay at best, nothing is really flavorful and bordering bland. This was our first time here so we didn't really know what to expect. And then on top of the food just being okay I got very ill later on in the evening from the food I had eaten here. A very poor introduction to a restaurant for me. I most likely won't be coming back
My favorite Italian restaurant in New Jersey! Everything they serve is fantastic. I absolutely love their Arancini; they remind me so much of how my mom makes them. For many Italians, ordering a meatball in a restaurant is considered sacrilege, but theirs are truly delicious too. You really can't go wrong here. We often order catering from them for holidays.
I've visited this restaurant several times while in Millburn, and it never disappoints. It's located next to what is likely the best deli in the state, Millburn Deli. The restaurant itself has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with a welcoming staff. The menu is diverse and easy to navigate, and the BYOB policy is a great bonus!
Very good experience! Went here with my family and had a wonderful time. On top of that, the food was delicious and a highlight was the special: the strawberry shortcake. Great restaurant, would definitely recommend!

The food is top-notch here and there is a very nice atmosphere. It's the staff here who shine and every time we've come here, Wilson has been spectacular. He's very attentive and offers Great suggestions.
If your judge a restaurant by their desserts....then Lord help us. This tiramisu has me begging for more.
