To begin with, I never knew that Blu Basil was considered an Italian restaurant and I have eaten there about five times. Never struck me as an Italian place. Tonight was the first time we had dinner there. It was fairly busy. The menu is a little pricey for a neighborhood place and everything is a la carte. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was spicy and the meatballs were good. Overall, it was ok. The wife had a wrap that she liked and my son had the chicken parmesan which appeared to have the same sauce as my spaghetti. It was a little too spicy for him. My daughter had the chicken fingers. The meal for everyone was satisfactory. However, the service was very good. That made the night better. Will I go back for dinner? Probably not unless I have a good coupon. Will stick to lunches there. Thirteen dollars for an average size spaghetti and meatballs and no salad included is not good value for what I received. That times four plus tax and tip will set you back a few twenties and more for just a Friday night out with the family. I can see why people don't eat out as much as before.
