Cafe Basilico became really famous when it first opened a few years ago. I believe Chef Moshe was part of the team then and there was often a wait to get a table. Cafe Basilico is a really nicely designed cafe which really gives it a nice classy touch and really gels with the whole Colaba colonial atmosphere. The food here is great too and I reccomend having the grilled chicken stuffed with mozerella and a really nice sauce on the side. They keep changing their menu and so you might not find the same thing on the menu, but ask the waiter for some reccomendations and theyll surely help you out. Besides the food, Basilico also has some great deserts including thier famous Oreo Cheesecake. They used to have a Baileys cheese cake on their menu which was my favourite though its not been replaced with a mousse which isnt really the same as the cake. The drinks here arent bad either and Id reccomend the Peachy Cheek which is sprite and some peach syrup that tastes pretty good. Now comming to the price. Its moderatly expensive with each dish costing around 350 , deserts at 150 a piece and drinks at 100. Definatly not cheap, but for the ambience and quality, Id say its worth it.
