Il Basilico
About
Il Basilico is a family‑run Neapolitan pizzeria perched on the picturesque coast of Finale Ligure, delivering the unmistakable taste of Naples right on Italy’s Ligurian shoreline. The menu celebrates the traditions of Naples: dough is proofed for 18 hours and baked in a stone‑fired oven that reaches temperatures over 400 °C, ensuring a soft, chewy crust with a perfectly blistered edge. Fresh mozzarella di bufala, sourced from Caseificio Iemma, and extra‑virgin olive oils grown in the Loano hills enhance every slice. Guests can dine indoors or on the charming al‑fresco terrace overlooking the sea. High chairs and child‑friendly options welcome families, while couples find the warm lighting and relaxed atmosphere ideal for a romantic meal. The restaurant also offers online booking via its dedicated form link to help patrons secure a table during peak hours.
