9.5/10The food was excellent but the service was a bit too slow for my liking. The whole setting was fine, with enough space between tables and the ambiance was chill, perfect for a glass of wine and conversation

7.5/10We had a 7 o’clock reservation and arrived five minutes early as we always try to do. There was a hotel employee who came to tell us that we would need to wait that the restaurant was going to open in ten minutes. It was off putting. In ordering the pizza, the waitress and I misunderstood each other. I wanted to be sure that the Parma ham on the pizza was prosciutto and not ham. She didn’t quite understand and it was ham which I didn’t want but oh well. It was easy enough to remove. The pizza otherwise, was tasty. The Caesar salad was ok. The waitress was very nice. I wouldn’t try to go back but it was fine.

5/10We had some pizza’s. Both of them were dry and tasted watery- like they were frozen. I don’t necessarily think they were frozen, but they sure tasted like they were. Flavours were bland and lacking.

10/10
We were greeted by friendly employees with was the perfect start to a lovely evening. The cocktails are delicious and original, do order one if you have time. The staff are very detail oriented and friendly. The food was excellent- though be ready to share the bruschetta as there is enough for 2 people! We ordered the pomodoro and the mushroom bruschetta- both winners! I really don't think there is a wrong item to order. The risottos we ordered were well prepared and very flavourful- be prepared with big appetites as the portions are generous and you want to leave room for dessert. It's a 10/10 would recommend!

5.5/10I went there twice while in Lisbon because they have several gluten free options. Unfortunately, the service is extremely slow. They forgot to put in our order. Some of the items were not as written in the menu. Its possible they are understaffed. The first time was average, the second time disappointing.

9.5/10I ordered a gluten-free pizza, and it was flawless. I often eat gluten-free foods, and I am aware of how easy it can be to overcook them. The pizza was well-cooked, and the flavors were just right. I highly recommend Il Basilico.
