Dear owner/manager,
Your restaurant was very well recommended on the internet, has a beautiful website and good reviews. Among several restaurants, I chose you to take 2 very special friends for dinner. We came from south London (1 hour and a half to arrive). What was our surprise when we arrived there, saw 2 empty tables, and a man from the staff (or owner, I dont know), looked at us, rudely said you were full and turned his back on us. We were not there asking for a favour or begging anything, we are Costumers!
Well, all businesses are made of people! You sell people not just food (otherwise

Osteria Basilico came highly recommended from a friend and as my two friends and I were starving we decided to give it a try! When first arriving to the restaurant we were kindly greeted by a waiter. He informed us that due to covid and keeping a safe distance between tables, he is unable to seat us inside but would be able to seat us outside. We were very happy with the fact that the restaurant was taking the necessary measures to protect its customers from covid. We happily agreed to sit outside. We started our dinner with a Bruschetta al Pomodoro fresco e Basilico which was done and presented

A true discovery: authentic Italian dishes of exceptional quality, friendly and attentive service. Fair prices considering the quality of the food and generous portion sizes. Cozy interior, ideal for couples and small groups. I can recommend both the spinach-filled tortelloni and "Pizza Burrata e Salami".
