    As good as always! This was one of my favourite Italian restaurants 22 years ago and I am so happy they are still around with great service and delicious pastas and pizzas! Thank you for a wonderful service! My kids and friends loved it too !

    It’s a good solid place but guess we were hoping that the pizzas would be better quality. Puddings were good.

    Osteria Basilico is a classic of Notting Hill. I've been coming for many years and it does not disappoint. the menu is simple Italian, nothing fancy but always good.

    The best ever rosemary bread, the familiarity and the consistency of the food and service make me and my family happy every time we visit. It's no longer local to us as it was 30 years ago but it is always worth the trip.

    This place is so good, so authentic, that we cancelled reservations elsewhere so we could eat here a second time during our vacation. The osso bucco is a dream and the risotto fabulous. Great service from people who want you to enjoy your experience. Loved it...twice.

    An excellent dinner at Osteria Basilico. We dined on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was very busy, with a happy buzz. After devouring a basket of their warm focaccia dipped into oil and balsamic, we shared a frittura di calamari, lightly battered and melt in your mouth. The vitello special and the spaghetti alle vongole were perfectly cooked and delicious. We cleaned our plates. Even with the restaurant and patio full, the service was attentive and the pause between starter and main was appreciated. Highly recommended.

    Very noisy. The food was very passable. We were charged for water while neighboring tables had jugs. We were NOT given the 20% discount we were entitled to when booking with The Fork.
