Il Basilico
About
Il Basilico is a family‑run Neapolitan pizzeria located in the charming seaside town of Loano, Liguria. Founded on a tradition of sharing warm family recipes, the restaurant crafts each pizza in a 400 °C wood‑fired oven, hand‑rolled dough, San Marzano tomato sauce, locally sourced buffalo mozzarella, and a drizzle of premium olive oil, finished with basil and oregano for that unmistakable Mediterranean flair. In addition to pizza, Il Basilico offers classic pasta dishes made with time‑honoured techniques and regional sauces, as well as two varieties of extra‑virgin olive oil from the hills of Loano and Cerreto Sannita, showcasing the authenticity of local produce. Guests can enjoy lunch, dinner, or take‑away in a bright, family‑friendly environment that welcomes both locals and tourists; reservations are easily made online and the restaurant accepts credit cards.
