The service was very good and the people working there were very nice. We had some live music playing which imbedded the ambiente a lot. The view on the water was good but the lighting and flora made it complete. We had some tasteful raviolis and tortellinis which were placed very elegant. All in all it was a pleasant dinner. Would recommend for a date!

As Vegetarians, 'Il Basilico' offers more on the menu that we can actually eat ! Italian themed restaurant, so most people should be able to find something on the menu !

8.5/10The food was very good except that the Calamari was too chewy and my wife couldn’t eat it. My Veal dish was excellent. The waitress asked my wife if there was something wrong with her meal as the Calamari hadn’t been eaten and she gave an honest appraisal also pointing out that the Prawn element of the dish was excellent. The waitress brought the Manager over and she was VERY apologetic, offering another dish but my wife declined and assured her that she had still enjoyed the evening. When our bill came the Calamari dish was not charged for. We were both very impressed with the attitude. Sometimes you have to accept that things can go wrong and it is how you deal with problems that really matters. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant again.

10/10High quality, fresh, hand made pastas. Beautiful setting. Well paced service. Just a 10-15 min walk for those staying at the Pine Cliffs.

10/10We had a great experience at Il Basilico Algarve. Having eaten at I'll Basilico Funchal we had to try Algarve also and we were not disappointed. Food was excellent and staff friendly. The experience lived up to our expectations.

9/10It was nice to sit outside by the pool. The ravioli were amazing, the spinach cannelloni very good and the mushroom bruschetta is a recommendation too. Service was ok. Friendly but since I don’t know anything about Portugese wines I would have liked someone to help me with that.

10/10Fabulous bistro-style Italian restaurant in a beautiful setting. Great ambiance, amazing food, attentive staff, and not expensive at all. What's not to love?

4.5/10There was no special "Italian atmosphere" in the restaurant. No Italian wines were available on the menu. My meal of veal cutlets was not what I expected. Sadly a poor experience overall and I cancelled the next 3 reservations and went to an Italian restaurant outside the hotel grounds and found their overall offering to be much better.

7.5/10We ate here as it’s ska tradition for us to eat at Basílico on our first night of holiday at a Porto Bay place. Staff were perfectly friendly and pleasant, food good and reliable, atmosphere very empty and cold- completely to do with the season and the weather.

8/10Lovely restaurant but lacks atmosphere in the evening due to poor light. Best in the nice long summer evenings I expect but as it’s open all year they should consider changing the lighting for the darker evenings as it’s too harsh as it is. Food was good and service was friendly and efficient. Would return.
