Another wonderful meal here. The food never disappoints. Mushroom pasta was absolutely delicious. Staff are consistently so lovely and friendly. I really think this place is one of my favourites ever and I hope it goes from strength to strength.

If you’re ever in the Whitstable area, you MUST try this restaurant. Unlike some Italian restaurants, it has something on the menu for everyone. Geared up for pasta I actually ended up having one of their specials this evening, beef wellington. Hands down the best one I’ve had in my life. My husband had lamb ragu with pea and mint puree, also amazing. A lovely selection of wines and cocktails which are served by their attentive staff with a smile. Couldn’t fault any of the service and also had a lovely chat with the owner who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Will be recommending this restaurant to everyone we know, kick started our weekend away to Canterbury perfectly.

We came for lunch on a Friday with family and can honestly say we were all blown away by the food, atmosphere and lovely owners. Even my Nan and Grandad who eat nothing but ‘baked dinners’ thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The scallop starters tasted incredible and were presented beautifully, it wouldn’t look out of place at a top Michelin starred restaurant. I had the pork ragu which again was gorgeous, pasta cooked perfectly in a deep rich meaty ragu.we all enjoyed a bottle of Franciacorta which was delicious and good to see on an Italian restaurants wine list. It’s a must try for Prosecco lovers wanting something a bit special! Also try the home made lemoncello, very sharp and authentic. I’ll definitely be returning in the near future!

First, a confession. I have spent many years travelling in Italy, from Calabria up to the Veneto and everywhere in between. I'm very, very particular about the Italian restaurants I visit in England. So imagine my joy at finding Basil and Co.! The menu is authentic and avoids the 'McItalian' so many peddle out. You can tell there is an Italian (sorry, Neapolitan!) involved. Get involved and enjoy. If you're celebrating grab a bottle of franciacorta. You won't regret it. If I had to pick one negative, it would be the lack of amaro to finish the meal. (Tracy: Tu hai bisogno di una bottiglia di amaro!!)

Took a stroll along the sea front before deciding on finding somewhere to have Sunday lunch. Walked the length of the high street before deciding to eat at Basil & Co. Lovely looking restaurant with a small yet delightful looking menu. We were pleasantly greeted and a table found for us. We hadn’t made a reservation, but would do in future since it did end up being quite busy. The staff were very polite and attentive. The specials were explained and drinks promptly brought over. They have a nice little selection of wine. The Chianti was particularly good. We opted for a starter from the specials menu and the rib eye Sunday roast. The pork wellington starter was delicious as were the three musketeers (selection of bread with varying toppings). We felt the bread starter was a little on the large side. I’d have been happy with half the portion, but we understand everybody’s appetite is different. The pork wellington was delicious with a sort of ratatouille accompaniment. The Sunday lunch was one of the best we’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection. The carrots were delicious, the broccoli was nice and tender, with the right amount of bite and the asparagus was absolutely delicious. The parsnip felt like a delicious treat, too. There was just the right amount of everything. Gravy was to die for and of course the potatoes were beautifully cooked. The only thing I can possibly complain about was that the rib eye was a steak and not from a rib roast. Because of this I would probably have the Pork Belly next time. I prefer to have thin slices of a roasting joint of beef with my Sunday lunch. It felt like too much meat on the plate. That said, the meat was cooked to perfection. We were so full we couldn’t manage dessert, but I have no doubt they would have been as delicious. We’ll definitely be revisiting in the near future. Thank you to the staff and chef for a lovely Sunday lunch experience.

Had a spontaneous trip to Whistable over the weekend and fancied some Italian food. We googled nearby restaurants and found basil&co. Being massive foodies we dine in all types of restaurants worldwide and let me tell you this meal was on point! It was amazing from the start, the portion sizes were very generous and the flavour blends were out of this world. The staff were very attentive and the total cost of the meal was an absolute bargain. So glad we found this hidden gem and will definitely be back.

We went for lunch to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and I must say it was an excellent choice. The food is sensational, with subtle flavors and extraordinary dish presentation. It's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious dishes in a restaurant. The chef came to see us at the table and even prepared some of the “special wedding anniversary” dessert. Bravo and thank you also for the impeccable service and the kindness of the staff.

Basil & Co is a small restaurant in Tankerton. Very welcoming and lovely decor inside. It’s not cheap but you really are paying for amazingly good quality food that is clearly cooked with skill and love. The chef here really knows what he’s doing and presentation is beautiful too. Make sure you try their home made limoncello. It really is good!! The only thing that stopped 5 stars was a poor espresso. For an Italian restaurant, this should never happen. If you get the opportunity to eat here, fo! You’ll not be disappointed

We were on a family away day to Whitstable for our 30th wedding anniversary and or sons 27th birthday. Came across this restaurant on Tripadvisor and decided to book some months in advance. I can easily say the restaurant really exceeded our expectations, the food was different from the standard Italian food and a lot of thought went into it. The food was reasonably priced, well produced and the service was excellent. They even allowed us to push back our reservation time as we were can’t watching the England football that went to penalties. Was a great night all round and would highly recommend.

I shared the special with a friend, crab linguini wasn’t offered Parmesan and had to ask, we also needed salt I hate to say this but it was incredibly bland and have had nicer Tesco finest ready meals I thought to return it but with the Parmesan it was ok. I think you need a better chef, and pan fry the stake in very hot pan, their technique wasn’t great, and wasn’t sure if it was eve rib eye. I can’t return in its current form . Sorry

Had been meaning to try for a long time & I’m gutted we didn’t! What an absolute gem in the heart of Tankerton. The inside is much larger than it looks & is decorated to create a nice atmosphere with comfortable seating & space. The staff, from the minute we arrived until we left were outstanding! You can tell Every member of staff is invested in the restaurants success, giving the best service available. Attentive, not over the top, knowledgeable & polite. The menu had great options, a twist on the usual Italian choices & having three vegan options plus others that can be changed is impressive for this area. A good choice of alcohol free beer, wine & cocktails is also unusual & very welcome. The food arrived looking spectacular, the finishing touches thought through & all of our party were impressed with the portion size (just enough) & the taste. 3 of us had the mushroom pasta that was naturally vegan with the fresh home made pasta soft but tasty & just enough to feel satisfied. Good choice of deserts & a vegan cheesecake with strawberry coulis which was like jam, could have just had that in a tub! All three courses were impressive & all four of us enjoyed each one which never happens when we go out. I hope they change the menu regularly (especially the vegan options) as that’s a frustration for regular diners out. We will definitely be back to try the lunch & Sunday afternoon menu & I truly wish this restaurant every success as they deserve it.. 10/10 all round..

We went here whilst on a staycation in Whitstable. We were very lucky to get a table. We were first to arrive on a Sunday but soon after it got filled up. I can understand why now. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated. I don't remember the name of the pasta dish I ordered but it was exquisite. It was a cheesy ravioli and had a hint of pear as the filling. I just wish I had some more! The presentation was superb! A special shoutout to Hannah who was simply amazing and so friendly. I rarely go to restaurants twice as like to try out new places but would definitely come back here!.

Lots of families having Mother’s Day together. Hats off to the front of house and kitchen staff for a great menu. At the end of the meal the chefs came out and went to each table asking how it was etc. Totally recommend this place and will definitely be returning.

After my partner had a wonderful Christmas party last year. I decided to visit it on Mothers Day. But it wasn't a brilliant as I hoped To start with all soft drinks were only sparkling, didn't even have apple juice. Only soft drinks were water or coke. No bread and oils was offered, I guess they were too busy too offer that. The mussels were to spicy for my liking, but the bread was delicious, the ribeye was excellent even though I asked not have the chilli infused vegetables and chocolate semi freddo was rock hard, needed 5-10mins more defrosting! It's bit misleading says Sunday roasts are back, but its italian way of doing Sunday roast. The food presentation was outstanding! But choice of music spoiled the atmosphere. But my mum thoroughly enjoyed her meal, so that's all that matters. As it was Mother's day there was a number of children, but they weren't catered for. Just got half portion size for half the price. Not a place to take children! I would only go there again for a really special occasion. Its far expensive for just a night out.

Sadly our table of 4 had become a table for 2 (due to illness), we contacted the restaurant and there was absolutely no problem keeping the table. Oh how glad we were that we did , a friendly greeting at the entrance and immediately we felt welcome. Service was polite and we weren't rushed to order, instead having a cocktail while we looked at the menu. The menu itself was fantastic, lovely pasta dishes, raviolis filled with boar or squid, various meats and fish dishes too. Of course vegan and gluten free options were available on both the starter and main course menus.. Our starters arrived, I had a delicious beetroot dish topped with black truffle, I followed that with Wild Boar Ravioli (a restaurant speciality), both were amazing. My wife has seafood filled ravioli with an Octopus ragu over, the sauce was to die for and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her meal. A white Chocolate Bombe followed for her and I had the homemade Tiramasu ( a must for me in any Italian restaaurant) , both were made to a high level . I should also add that the house wine was also very nice , and not the usual 'that will do' offering that other venues try to offload. All in all a 10/10 dining experience. Would we visit again , we have already booked again and are looking forward to a second visit.

I can’t tell you how friendly they were and the chef actually came out to talk to the customers which was a really lovely touch, especially when you then got to find out some of their background and how they came about.

This is easily the best Italian in Whitstable, maybe the best restaurant in the area. We arrived without a reservation (though I thought I made one, promise!), but they let us in for dinner and were very friendly. The two female staff members were attentive, kind, and informative about the menu. And oh my god, the food. We each had a starter we shared, and they informed us that the focaccia starter would be about a 15-minute wait as they had just put it in the oven. Worth. Ever. Second. It was the best focaccia I've ever had. It was amazing, and next time, I will be asking for the recipe or buying a whole loaf. Dinner was also excellent. I had one of the specials, and my partner had the mushroom pasta. We were both delighted. We didn't need dessert, but we got it anyway. I am kicking myself for not trying the tiramisu, but the Ferrero Roche bomb cake was delightful. Thank you to the staff and chefs of Basil and Co. Amazing food, atmosphere, and service.

Excellent greeting from family members. Food, drink and atmosphere was great (the scallops were cooked to perfection!) Added benefit of the chef going to each table at the end of the evening for personal feedback. Would definitely recommend

Although the current menu is limited for Christmas, the choice is stunning and hard to choose. So much so we are booked again for Christmas Eve. I would go there on Christmas day except it was fully booked early.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chapters Pizzeria in Canterbury, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff at Chapters Pizzeria were nothing short of incredible. Izzy and Kate, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was memorable. They were so lovely, helpful, and wonderful, making sure that every aspect of our meal was perfect. Their genuine smiles and attentive service and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch that is hard to find. The food was simply fantastic! The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a deliciously crispy crust and a perfect balance of toppings. But what truly stood out was the ice cream that Izzy made. It was absolutely divine, and with some added personal flair. Overall, Chapters Pizzeria offers a fantastic dining experience. The quality of the food, combined with the outstanding service from Izzy and Kate, makes it a must-visit spot in Canterbury. If you're looking for a place with great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional staff, look no further than Chapters Pizzeria.
