Wall sconces cast an orange glow on Basilico’s exposed-brick walls, creating a soothing atmosphere as guests munch on authentic, lovingly crafted Italian dishes. After graduating from the Hotel Management School in Alassio, Italy, owners Mario DeMarco and Angelo Delbecchi journeyed to Millburn to showcase their culinary prowess and inhuman ability to squeeze wheat flour so hard that it transforms into pasta. Patrons can sample dishes such as hand-tucked ravioli with porcini mushrooms drenched in a walnut-and-white-truffle sauce, and braised veal shank coupled with homemade fettuccine. In warmer months, guests can nosh on freshly handmade pastas or grilled skirt steaks out on the patio.
