Best Italian Restaurant in Jakarta!!! Basilico is (one of) our most favourite restaurant in Jakarta and I would recommend the food to everyone! It is really authentic Italian. Not too much ingredients with a maximum of taste! We love the pasta and the eggplant parmigiana, it's my absolute favourite parmigiana di melanzane in the entire world! Perfectly balanced, not too saucy, not to dry, little spicy, little cheesy, full tomato-aroma. It's a good portion, but you do not feel full or overeated afterwards. The price is justified. I always eat the Parmigiana with a green salad as appetizer. The dressing is super as well, really fresh, never had problems with green salad. You can taste pepper and lemon with the chance to an upgrade with a topping like tuna or chicken (like you can choose it for pasta). You can taste the love in every single dish. The variety of food is also big, from appetizers to fresh salads, pasta, pizza, secondi and desserts (pistacchio lava cake is just amazing!). Of course, there are vegetarian and vegan options as well. Every table gets a bread basket, olive oil and balsamic vinegar complimentary. Really good service, you are feeling very welcomed from arriving until leaving the restaurant. The location is not the nicest one. You are dining in the Gandaria city mall. There is an outside area to dine in, but it is right next to the mall entrance. So not very romantic and cozy, but you can have a view on shopping people and combine your visit with a shopping tour of course. I would recommend it to everyone who is nearby and who appreciates really good and authentic Italian food!
