Basilico Restaurant Macclesfield in Cheshire East

Waiting 45 mins food wasn’t nice we didn’t finish the pasta was so dry my boyfriend ordered the pasta alfredo inside the pasta have a slice of red chilli 😅 we got back home we got tummy ache :(

Visiting the area for the day and came across this lovely Italian restaurant. Lovely setting, service great and the food was absolutely amazing.

A really nice evening at the restaurant on Saturday, great food and service. Very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Our first time here but we will definitely be booking again.

Really tasty Italian food. Good atmosphere!

A lovely Italian restaurant serving tasty Italian food. Good service and pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant was busy, which is a good sign, and the food still came in good time. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Look forward to visiting again.

Great food at lunchtime, with full flavour.

Brilliant find. Lovely restaurant, friendly attentive staff and delicious food. Can highly recommend

A great restaurant with excellent food and service. The pasta meals are generous and tasty. The filet steak is superb. good selection of wines and the prices are very fair. Highly recommended

Basilico is a wonderful Italian restaurant, food is wonderful , portions are generous and the atmosphere and staff great. Thank you for making us welcome and a lovely dinner.

Staff very friendly could not do enough food was brilliant

A lovely meal and experience. We enjoyed all our starters and main meals. Portions were of a good size and very tasty. We'll definitely be returning.

The service is great, the food is great, the service is great, the holiday tea is great, the coffee is great xxxx

Excellent service. Great food. Magnificent risottos, substantial portions.

We have just celebrated Our daughters 18th Birthday here with our family . The food , Atmosphere and Staff were absolutely fantastic !! Thank you so much for giving us a fabulous night to remember x

Visited today for lunch, I had the lasagne and my partner had the fillet steak in a pepper sauce, both were fabulous!!!

Excellent food and reasonably priced pasta.

First time in the restaurant. Enjoyed the night with friends. Warm friendly atmosphere.

Great food with excellent service and really good friendly atmosphere, can't wait to go back for more.

Excellent meal and fantastic customer service!

Great food, nice atmosphere and reasonably priced, well worth a visit.

Outstanding food. Excellent quality. The chef knows what he is doing. Service okay-ish. Setting is fine. Quiet, nice space, nice background music. What can they do better? Stock non-alcoholic beer for patrons who need to drive.

Great to have high quality Italian food at a lunch service! Fantastic quality food, reasonably priced with friendly, welcoming service. Wonderful Minestrone soup and Goats cheese starters. The Canelloni was spinach rich and seasoned perfectly and the Lasagne was very authentic. Totally recommend!

Really enjoyed it. Great food and reasonable prices too.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening meal in a nice, relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

Waitress was attentative and friendly. Food was amazing! Well presented, clean table and warm atmosphere

Delicious food , excellent service and reasonable prices , definitly worth a visit 😀

Good food . friendly people if I lived near there .I'd go there everyweek good prices as well

Just got in from a lovely meal at this first time experience for us (even though we live in Macc) the food was ace and my two children loved it, as did I and my partner. Now I have discovered this place I will be back. Thankyou

Nice garlic bread. Had the chicken Milanese, and it was quite bland. It didn't taste bad, but it could have been better. On the other hand the garlic bread is lovely. One thing that really let it down was the mens bathroom looked as if someone had shaved their beard in the sink. But left all the hair in and around the sink. A bit off putting if you ask me. Don't think I'd go again

Fantastic meal with family the food was amazing the swordfish off the specials board was to die for

In a word - amazing! Looks to be a family run business. Varied menu and really great value. Parking lets this place down because you have to find somewhere on the street but that's not their fault. Would we come again? Absolutely!

My daughter and I enjoyed your delicious food and wine tonight and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon 😃

Absolute gem of a restaurant, prices are fair, restaurant is cosy, staff are lovely and the food is amazing. We had a really nice meal here for our one year anniversary and will definitely be back again.

A cozy and stylish restaurant, serving the best Italian food in Macclesfield. The dishes were very tasty with generous portions and the service and staff were excellent. I shall definitely go back and utterly recommend it.

Amazing food and service. Lovely family atmosphere. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Popped in tonight and had a lovely time. Food was fabulous as always and the staff were very friendly and attentive, definitely the best restaurant in Macclesfield!

Second time we've been to this restaurant this month after being recommended by a friend once with our children and tonight just the 2 of us both occasions have been 1st class staff so friendly food is incredible couldn't recommend enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Came for a mother's day lunch. Fantastic service and delicious food!

Lovely food served in a cosy family atmosphere by attentive, friendly staff. Perfect treat

All the dishes were excellent and the chairs are sooooooo comfy. The intros, starters and mains were phenomenal. My pasta dish was huge and was huge value for money. The sea bass was delightful and the seafood pasta exquisite. Definitely a hidden gem in Macclesfield. Service was fabulous the staff were very smiley 😊 Thankyou Basilico

Lovely meal and warm welcome. Well priced meals, good choice and lovely drinks. All very good

First time here and the staff were really welcoming, great service and the food was simply fantastic. The pizza was really thin base yet crispy and plenty of toppings. What more do you need?

Skip Pizza Express, skip Wood Fire Smoke and skip Dominos. Instead nip down to Basilico, it's independent, it's local and it's friendly and the food is fantastic. We enjoyed a bottle of the house red, pizzas and pasta and it was delicious. We'll be back very soon.

Lovely owner and ambiance but poor quality food. Mozzarella fritta was mozzarella sticks from a supermarket with cranberry sauce from a jar. pizza ingredients were tasty but pizza bases were very poor quality.

My wife and I were very well served, the food was very good. The staff very friendly. The chef did not know it was my wife’s birthday, but over heard we talking about her birthday and even gave us a free dessert. Very good a must if you fancy a good Italian.

couldn't make a less welcoming environment, passive aggressive staff, dire phone etiquette, staff pulling faces when you ask for stuff/poor service..quite odd to be honest..but food was good to be fair

Lovely food but we felt to close to the other tables but would definitely recommend and we would go again

Fantastic evening would recommend

Second time here and even more impressed. Turned up on a cold and wet January night and got the warmest of welcomes. Meal was tasty and great value. Our go to Italian from now on!

Hands down the best pizza you will have in the UK. You're spoiled for choice in this area in Macclesfield, but this is hands down my family's favourite. Plus, Sam is a delight!

Amazing food, and the staff are so friendly, can't wait to go again! Bellissimo!

One of the few Italian restaurants in town, which also does lunch sittings. We’ve been going since it opened 18 months ago, the food has always been excellent and the prices haven’t gone up either. They have a regular changing specials board, but I love the duck with the cherry glaze sauce on the main menu. The duck was cooked perfectly. We had starters (x2 BBQ ribs & halloumi salad), and for our mains my wife and son had lamb shank and lasagne respectively with some garlic bread to share. All cooked really well with generous portions. Varied and affordable wine list and a very charismatic (and appreciative) owner make going to Basillico an experience. Great food, great value.

Had a fabulous meal for our family. The food & service was excellent , especially as there was 17 of us. All the starters & mains were delicious.

Thank you very much for your foot is the perfect spot

We had a fantastic meal, my family and I were booked in on Boxing Day, from the moment we arrived we were all made to feel welcome, the food was delicious and the drinks were flowing. Overall a great time had by us all.

Had a very pleasant experience and staff were very friendly. Food was lovely and speedy. Would 100% go again.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Fairly small, so it was busy on a Saturday night and had a good atmosphere. Friendly staff, and the food was really nice, with good size portions, I would go here again. Bit draughty in winter if you sit near the front door as it kept sticking open.

Visit to Macclesfied and lunch by chance at Basilico. Perfect lunch with homemade dishes and a very friendly welcome from the owner. I recommend

Beautiful place; beautiful food; beautiful staff❤️

Me and my partner stopped here for a bite to eat, it was a Saturday evening around 7:30pm we didn’t book but were seated. We both ordered pizzas, they were delicious and couldn’t fault them. The staff were lovely, there was one lady running round (I think she was the owner) she was very busy and didn’t stop moving the whole time we were there. Despite being busy she still touched base with us and thanked us on the way out.

Great food. Service good. Tables a little too close together.

Just the best , what .ore can I say

Lovely afternoon with family food delicious staff very friendly x

The food was really greasy and tasted undercooked. The staff were really aggressive and made us feel unwelcome. They made us trek in the dark as 17 year olds after not telling us that the card machine didn't work

Awful. Staff did not tell us card machine was broken, only after we brought out our cards were we made aware. Two teenage girls went to a cashpoint alone to get cash as we were a group of teens who do not carry cash and were unaware of no card option. They didn’t apologize or compensate anything. Also pizza tasted like fast food pizza. Not brilliant. Very pricy for what it was.

Very welcome, quick polite service

First time at this lovely restaurant. Excellent food and atmosphere. Fantastic service. Well recommended.

Perfect food, friendly staff, pristine restaurant and good menu variety to suit all ages !. Will certainly be going back !

Delicious meal and wine. We had the swordfish from the specials board which was perfectly cooked and served with an array of fresh vegetables. Mouthwatering. Would definitely visit again.

Really excellent. Quality food and lovely service. Go here or lose it!

My partner and I enjoyed our evening at Basilico. It had a relaxed atmosphere with serving staff who were friendly and gave attentive service. The menu was varied with something for everyone and the food was well cooked. Would definitely recommend.

Visited for the first time while away on holiday. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the welcome was friendly. We both enjoyed our food and would recommend 😋

Rustic Italian dining is how I would describe it. Check out the specials board as there's usually some great seafood option on it

Visited for the first time excellent food and good service will definitely be going again

Service was excellent, friendly, could not fault it at all. Food also excellent, brilliant choices and very reasonably priced. I had a lamb shank and thought it was perfect, however I had £5 taken off its cost, because the owner was not satisfied on the size, I thought it was perfectly adequate. Would highly recommend this restaurant, best Italian in Macclesfield

We have been there 4 or 5 times always excellent love the food and the service is very welcoming .

Food was lovely, service was good, good pricing! Had a lovely evening!

Friendly staff. Good food. Nice ambiance.

Loved this place. It was very busy but the food was terrific so it's understandable. You definitely need to book well in advance but you'll find its worth it.

I found the place was cramped as tables close together and not much room between the table next to you, no atmosphere, felt rushed and no draught lagers. They also let people sit at there table and smoke there ecigs next to you which is disgusting when you are eating, the food was nice.

Had a lovely meal here tonight, the service was amazing, the owner gave us a complimentary garlic bread! And the food was delicious, highly recommend

Absolutely gorgeous food here. Freshly cooked to order. The service is fabulous. If you like Italian food, or fancy trying it, this is THE place to go!

First time visit and will definitely be coming back. Venue is lovely with a nice, chilled atmosphere. Staff are top notch. Food is amazing and they are willing to make amendments if required. I had the tagliatelle arribiata and asked to add some spicy sausage, owner gladly obliged. We both thoroughly enjoyed food and time at Basilico.

My friend and I really enjoyed our dinner there last night. The food was delicious- you could tell it was made with fresh ingredients and made from scratch. The staff were absolutely lovely; very warm, welcoming and funny. Would highly recommend :-)

We had a delicious meal here - really authentic Italian dishes but with a chilled vibe - great service too. Highly recommend!

Fabulous Restaurant, Excellent Food Quality & Taste, Dedicated Staff & Great Value Too! A must!
