Pasta plates are the best in San Diego (in my opinion). Love the super alfredo sauce. They make their pasta fresh from scratch every day!! Small but cozy restaurant. This is my go-to restaurant for my birthday, I love coming back to this restaurant.
Brilliant meal, excellent service. Choice of homemade pastas with variety of sauces and proteins. Perfectly easy for a group to customize the dish each would like, and each combination we tried was excellent. Understated sophistication in the service, really great experience. No question we'll be back.
Absolutely delicious! Did a Google Review search for best Italian Restaurants while on vacation in San Diego for my son's birthday and found Cucina Basilico! We were a bit nervous when our driver stopped at a strip mall and not the Little Italy district, but oh my goodness...the charming space, the more than excellent customer service and the fresh, house made pasta and desserts were all incredible! The owner even brought a dessert and candle out for my son's birthday wish, which was so, very kind. Thankfully, the atmosphere... read more
We were visiting from Louisiana. Search my map for an Italian restaurant. Found Cucina Basilico at the next turn. It was a great choice. Very friendly, explained about the difference in their pasta. Food was served in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious! Would recommend stopping by. Great food for a hole in the wall family restaurant.
The food, service, and ambience were perfect. I celebrated my birthday here. Making a reservation was easy. They charge, I think, $13 or something for a cake fee but that's okay for the convenience. The food was so good. Homemade pasta. They give you the options of which pasta goes best for each dish. Portions are generous. The service was wonderful. Pablo was an excellent host. He was so patient with our large party. He took the time to take our orders and answer questions. I enjoyed being called "Mama" by him. Lol. Migh... read more
