Basilico Macclesfield in Cheshire East

My husband and I dropped into the little Italian for tea one evening and it was absolutely superb. Lovely friendly staff, really good prawns to start with and we both enjoyed a hearty bowl of pasta for mains. Reasonably priced, great little find. We will be back.

Absolutely excellent service, good food and generous servings. Basillico is a gem of a restaurant , Web site says closed until 5pm,not actually the case so do go in for lunch!

Wow I can’t believe this place is a restaurant. The pizza base must be from a supermarket and frozen before cooked. The middle was soggy and was perfectly round so obviously not done in a pizza oven. I can’t actually believe what we received from an ‘Italian’ restaurant. You’re not cooking your pizzas in a pizza oven and charging £13.50 for a pizza! The toppings is also the cheapest I’ve tasted at an Italian. So we spent £42 on 2 supermarket pizzas and 3 drinks. The coke is a tin at £3 put in a glass. The beer was nice and that’s about it. What an embarrassment.

We go regularly and the food is always delicious. The filet steak is terrific quality and the Seafood Marinara is the best anywhere. the staff are very attentive and the atmosphere and decor always makes us feel like we are on holiday. I took 3 new friends on Wednesday and everyone loved it. 1 bad review by a family of outsiders is not representative of this great restaurant.

Disappointed!!! Family meal booked based on reviews as we aren’t from the area. 2 adults and a young child, ordered 2 rib eye steaks and a lamb shank. Im pretty confident the steaks weren’t ribeye, vegetables were pathetic and 3 halved potatoes, and a large dark hair for extra flavour!! £90.20! Avoid at all costs!!!!

We went for a meal on Friday night. We didn’t get to the restaurant til after 9 and not sure if we were too late as didn’t book a table. We needn’t have worried as we had a warm welcome from juliano. We ordered breads, Deep fried halloumi and chicken wings, the portion sizes were big and the food was freshly cooked, absolutely delicious!! For a main I had mixed seafood pasta with mussels and my fella had king prawns. The prawns were a decent size and there was so much calamari, prawns and mussels in my main dish. All the food was delicious. The wine was lovely and when the bill came we were pleasantly surprised at the price. We will definitely be going back if in the area.

Booked a table of 5 Friday night, relaxed service, beautiful food, menu just right in size. Kids loved the pizza and dipping breads/oils and olives. I had the tagliatelle arribiata, side of the cheese/mushrooms, others had lasagna and the salmon. All very happy. Tirimasui was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely return

Reviewed before but I introduced a friend to this restaurant and they were as impressed as we were originally when we visited last year. Efficient and friendly staff and we met the chef again, he makes himself known which is a good thing I think. I had the Spaghetti Bolognese this time, not very adventurous but I somehow knew it would be good here. Very tasty, generous portion and reasonably priced. Looking forward to my next visit.
