Basilico Ristorante Italiano is a Modern Italian Restaurant located in Southwest Las Vegas Nevada.

Inside is kinda modern mixed with a little bit of old fashioned.

They happen to have indoor-outdoor bar seating.

Inside they play old Italian movies inside.

Tonight they happened to offer a tasting menu that features flavors of Sicily so we decided to try that.

They started us off with a Yellowtail Tuna Tartare made with tomato relish, olive powder, fried capers, and lemon gel.

Next was an eggplant parmesan like no other.

Part of it is mozzarella mousse, tomato coulis and basil pesto.

After this are two generous pasta courses.

Lamb ragu rigatoni with ricotta salata.

Swordfish in long twisted pasta in romesco.

The main was a chicken marsala like no other.

The chicken is melt in your mouth tender as can be. The mushroom, corn, farro, side is extra tasty….

We took home the cannoli that were the sweet ending and had the table side parmesan gelato.

This sure isn’t your grandpa’s Italian Restaurant.

Made fresh to order parmesan gelato with lemon ginger cake, Vin Brule poached pear, Saba and something crisp and crunchy.

Basilico Ristorante Italiano is Worth a Fork!
