Il Basilico

My god what a unprofessional place. 4 of us staying at a nearby hotel decided on this restaurant for dinner, noticed it was nearly empty at 8.30 pm but still the menu in the window looked ok, after entering this cold bright kitchen looking decorated place we was greeted by a waitress that was at first pleasant, I ordered Pizza with tomatoes and the others a pasta dish that they said was discribed by them as plain and basic. My pizza arrived with no tomatoes but rather than create a fuss I decided not to worry about them, to be honest it was ok. Whilst eating I noticed the chef eating while cooking and put me off a bit, anyway waitress returns asked if the food was ok and I mentioned that she had forgotten the tomatoes, she replied " oh you should have told me when I brought it out I did put it on the order pad but chef forgot but you won't get charged for the tomatoes" this was said with attitude, anyway, I noticed on the menu there was a service charge included on all meals and stated that this could be removed on request, at the till I requested this to be removed and was pretty much shouted at. The response I got from the waitress and I quote " are you serious? Chef he wants the service charge removed," then turned to me and said " why are you asking for this to be removed its me that will suffer from this have you never been to a restaurant before" I explained that I would be happy to tip for good food and good service but unfortunately this was not up to most people's expectations and so that was the reason, she mumbled on being very rude as we left. Later that evening both my friends that had the same dish went down with stomach problems. This place you would be advised to avoid for many reasons stated.

Food was excellent and fairly priced considering location. Only critique was the restaurant, too bright and kitchenie for me, prefer something cosier. Service good and fast for an eat it & beat it!

If you can get past the school canteen furniture and the somewhat eccentric service, the food is excellent and great value.
