Basilico - Bracebridge, Ontario

J'ai adoré le resto situé dans un complexe hôtelier situé au bord de la rivière. La salle à manger est spectaculaire avec ses murs de pierre offrant une vue splendide sur le plan d'eau et ses chutes !! Nous étions trois ; nous avons commandé et partagé la planchetta de charcuteries et fromage en entrée. Ragoût de champignons et pesto, pizzas comme plat principal ; accompagné d'un Ripasso et d'un Valpolicella. Tout était savoureux et mémorable ! Quel beau moment !💝🙏💝

Notre serveur, parfaitement bilingue, nous a recommandé un vin rouge pour accompagner nos plats (steak flank + frites, pizza) "Le Tombé du ciel" un braucol qu'on a découvert et dégusté avec grand plaisir ! Une merveilleuse soirée en terrasse avec vue imprenable sur la magnifique rivière Muskoka !💝💝

Un bon petit restaurant italien avec une jolie terrasse et une très belle vue, parfait pour un repas en plein air. Le service était vraiment agréable : le personnel est souriant, attentionné, et parle aussi bien français qu’anglais, ce qui est un vrai plus. La nourriture était bonne, simple et correcte, même si rien d’exceptionnel. Une bonne adresse pour un moment agréable, sans prétention.

My husband and I dined at Basilico for an early birthday dinner while visiting the area. At first look the decor and ambience while a tad outdated and a bit cool in the restaurant itself but the food and service definitely made up for it! Ian our server was very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Our appetizer and meals were beyond delicious! Unfortunately, we were unable to try any desserts due to allergies but all in all an incredible birthday dinner.
We plan on coming back during the summer to enjoy the patio.

Dropped in tonight for a delicious meal with my wife and son and we had a great time! The food portions were awesome and it came out hot, fresh and fast! Great dining atmosphere, I'm sure the patio in the summer is as beautiful as the dining room is with the view! My Porchetta was perfectly cooked as was the seafood in my wife's linguine. The red pepper dip was just the right size for an appetizer before our meal and our son's pizza was delicious, I had to taste test for him 😉 Thank you again to all the staff for a great experience, we can't wait to come back!

I'm in Bracebridge for the first time, with my boys. After checking out menus for several local restaurants, decided to try out Basilico (my youngest is celiac and I am dairy free). There was only 1 other family in there when we arrived (it felt like walking into a dungeon, getting down to it lol) so that was good, as I didn't know how my kids would be.
The waitress was amazing, going through everything on the menu that my son would be able to have. I asked for the gnocchi with butter and parm for him. When it first came out, it was the regular gnocchi meal. He tried it, but he was going to pick off all the peas and walnuts. So she took it back and brought out a fresh plate of it plain.
She was so kind to listen to my kid's random ramblings! Then, she allowed the March break special to apply to both kids' meals (even though I only got one regular meal).
Definitely recommend this cute little restaurant!

A fantastic spot for Italian food in Bracebridge! We loved their mocktails and especially loved their roasted red pepper dip with garlic bread. Their server was very sweet as she helped us with all our needs and remembered us from a cafe where we sat across each other.

The only opportunities for improvement are the pizza and it is not accessible for people in wheelchairs or babies in strollers. For the pizza, the biggest flaw was the quality of the wheat/bread. It became extremely hard by the time it got to our table. Regarding the accessibility, this is a big opportunity because there are stairs or steps from the entrance till the time one gets to their table. I had to carry my son’s stroller for a long time.

Apart from that, a great spot for a meal and drinks for sure!

Food was quite average and, as seems to be the pattern these days, prices have gone up substantially without any improvement in the quality of food or the service offered. Super expensive and limited wine list (another pattern we're forced to suffer). The seafood linguine was decent and the diabola pizza was fine. Convenient if you're staying at the hotel but I wasn't wowed in the slightest, despite the $200 dinner bill. Won't be rushing back.
