Our Latest Great Place to Eat - Basilico Italian Restaurant
Wednesday 26 September 2012
What you get at Paolo Sabatini and Fabiano Mulas’ Basilico Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria is the best of Italian and Irish food delivered with panache and style in their cool restaurant in the old stone building that is also the 16 bedroomed Coach House Hotel . The guys here really got it right when they set up in 2008 for it has become a destination for those who want not only good Italian food but good food in general. There is something for everyone here from friends to families, from cracking great authentic pizzas to whopping great 14oz Athenry T-bone aged steaks.
Paolo and Fabiano are people who understand what good food and sourcing the best of produce is all about. Whilst they focus on the very best of Italian artisan fare such as prosciutto, salume, cheeses, oils, and so on which of course they import, they apply the same stringent buying criteria here in Ireland supporting local producers. Their superb beef and chicken comes from producers in Athenry, whilst their pork and lamb from Roscommon. Their fish comes from the well known Gannet fishmongers in Galway whilst the lettuce for their salads is local organic hand cut and washed in small batches as required. Most of their soups, sauces and dressings are gluten free – which I love. All of their pastries and breads are baked by their own pastry team.
