So, the restaurant that my friend is always raving about was where we went. Basilico was an experience from the second I walked through the door. As a lover of Italian food, if it's not authentic, it's not for me. My meal was by far the best Italian food I've had in years! Other than the food, the ambiance was perfect. Very friendly yet professional. I knew I was in for a treat the second i smelled the toasted bread and the refreshing pesto. I ordered the chicken parm and every bite got better. So tender and delish. My friend had me try her penne with vodka sauce and I will say that it was definitely the best vodka sauce ever! The pasta was al dente and so fresh...yummm
If you want true authentic Italian in Scottsdale, hands-down Basilico does it right.
