Osteria Basilico has been among the area’s favourite Italians for ages & it still manages to pack in large crowds for lunch & dinner. The atmosphere crackles in both of the charmingly rustic dining rooms (all stripped wooden tables & glowing candlelight), but popularity has its pitfalls: staff can take a detached & businesslike approach, & prices are higher than at your average trattoria. Still, the food is worth it, from the baskets of plump dough balls that kick off a meal, to expertly rendered crowd-pleasers (aubergine parmigiana, say) or top-notch assemblies including creamy burrata with prosciutto. To follow, pastas & pizzas are generously proportioned, but it’s the meat & fish mains that really impress: try crisp-coated, succulent veal milanese, for example. Don’t forget to leave room for traditional tiramisu or pannacotta for pudding. The appealing wine list is almost exclusively Italian.
