Turned up with no booking on a Tuesday night with an awkward party size (5). The staff were excellent and found us a table straight away. The cocktails and food were very tasty and well presented.Its no nonsense quality Italian fair. Staff were really attentive and very efficient. The only downside is I thought the plate decoration on my creamy pasta was a grated truffle dust.. the pasta doesn’t need truffle. It’s great as it is. The plates don’t need the random speckled pattern but that is my preference. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant.

Booked here as an early pre-gig dinner. Super restaurant. Lovely staff and delicious food. It was quiet when we arrived at 5.40pm. But soon filled up. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

Fantastic interior. We ordered three different pasta dishes and all were very good. The staff were very friendly too, especially for our little one.

Oh WOW. What an amazing little place I can see why it's 4.9 stars. Mains, sides and dessert all incredible, best risotto I've ever had easily and such a huge range of choices. The service was speedy and extremely reasonably priced, I highly recommend the Lemoncello Tiramasu, yum! But what really makes this place, is the friendly, chatty and attentive staff. They're clearly happy in their work place and checked on us regularly. I just can't fault the place. We will 100% be returning. Great place for a romantic date, the place is so stylish and cosy. Thanks all!

We dined at il Basilico as a family for the first time tonight, as an early mothers day treat for my mother and my wife. The service from Holly and Nico was second to none and they were very attentive to our every need, which is indicative of good Italian hospitality. The background music and lit candles on the tables set the tone for a lovely soporific atmosphere within this charming Italian restaurant. The food here is very authentic and the portion size is very generous to say the least. To say you won't go hungry here is an understatement, a hearty appetite is certainly needed. There is plenty of seafood on the menu if your a seafood lover, however this is not to say that the menu doesnt cater for other Italian favourites like lasagna and pizza alike. We ordered a number of starters the mussels (Cozza Alla Marinara) were a real treat and the tomato sauce had just the right amount of background heat from the chilli, this was accompanied with home made house bread which was delicious. My mum ordered the king prawns in white wine and garlic (Gamberoni Sicilia), and the prawns were cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the Brushetta Al Pomodor and my son ordered the Tomato, Basil, and Buffalo Mozzarella. Every one of our starters were delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. For my main course I ordered the mixed seafood spaghetti (spaghetti de pescatdore) my wife ordered the lasagna my son ordered the pepperoni pizza and my mum ordered the Tagliatelle Alla Trevisana. Our food was faultless and fulfilled my expectations. Compliments to Alex the chef. Everything about the evening was relaxed without feeling rushed or under pressure to order quickly. The restaurant certainly had a warm and healthy buzz which I can only put down to the relaxed and friendly service given to us by Holly and Nico. The prices here are very reasonable too. We are very fortunate to have many great restaurants in Bedford and this certainly ranks alongside with the best of them. Please keep doing what your doing. Thanks for a great evening, we'll certainly be back!!

I visited here for a birthday lunch, the food was amazing, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and also went above and beyond by surprising me with a birthday cake. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again. 10/10!

The food is delicious and excellent service. The Carbonara is so creamy. All the food served hot and the temperature kept warm till you finish. (the hot weather might help 😅)

I can’t wait to come back! Thank you to the waiter who made us all feel so comfortable and relaxed! Fantastic evening!

Went tonight and is most likely the best Italian in Bedford, one of the best meals we have ever had too. The 2 waitress both received a £20 tip for their amazing service, so attentive, friendly and fantastic conversation, the vibe was perfect busy but not loud, from the absolute out of this world French martini, tasteful calamari and a carbonara which beats everything else! The food also comes out piping hot which we loved. We will definitely be back to try one of the delicious looking pizzas, thank you for a fantastic night all, an absolute gem in Bedford.
