The food is fresh, the atmosphere is small and intimate and the service is impeccable! Even though it was our first visit, it felt comfortable and familiar. The owner, who was so kind and easy to speak with, came over quite a few times to our table to make recommendations, give some background on the dishes and spoke about his time in Italy. The martinis were fabulous! This is a wonderful place for a date night or with a group of friends! It's authentic Italian food that I plan to show off to out of town family!!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Place was packed, they got plus a table for two and treated us like family. Delicious food, based on the manager’s recommendation. Definitely will return when in the area.

I debated long an hard to give this restaurant 5 stars simply because I don't want to advertise the amazing food. We don't need even more people going.

I was taken back 30 years, as long as my memory allowed, back to an old school Italian restaurant with mouthwatering traditional food and a friendly, attentive waiter. Dessert was delicious! Next time I'm taking my friends there with me. It's located at the end of a dead end little street. There is a sign on the Lily pond road. The red roof house is on the next corner towards the bridge.

I wish I’d taken pictures of more but, what a delightful find as we were passing through the borough. Everything was spot on - simple, flavorful, and not overly done. We enjoyed the food and the conversation with the owner. Thank you from the folks from Philly.

Authentic Italian restaurant in a nice location, close to Verrazano Bridge. We were met by owner and had a pleasant conversation. Food is Great, especially while eating outside, next to a Herb and Tomato garden.

A true hidden gem on Staten Island! It’s been a Staten Island staple for over 100 years and this past weekend was my first visit to the Basilio Inn and it won’t be my last. From their amazing apps to entrees to skillfully prepared desserts you will love this restaurant. Go and enjoy and be prepared to be taken back in time with some true incredible Italian food! If you can eat outdoors under there outdoor grape view you will immediately be taken back to Italy! Enjoy!

I went to Basilio's for lunch and had the opportunity to talk to the manager about the rich history of the Inn. There was indoor dining indoor and there was outside seating. I liked the dining area's soft wood finish. The lunch menu was filled with a good selection. I particularly liked the lightness of the sauces.

This place is a hidden gem. the food is super fresh. It feels like you're at someone's home and being served fresh cooked Italian with love.

We went for dinner. The restaurant was mostly empty. Two other tables were occupied. Nice atmosphere and nice, attentive waiter. My husband got bucatini amatriciana and I had veal basilio. He liked the bucatini and I guess I should have ordered that too. The veal was disappointing. It was tough and had no flavor. I was also not expecting it to come with half cooked green beans and a few little chunks of potato. I gave the beans to my husband- he will eat them crunchy- and I also gave him a piece of the veal. He gave me some of his pasta because I went there wanting pasta and thought the veal would come with pasta. I was still hungry so I got tiramisu for dessert. It was oddly tasteless but at least it filled me up and we didn’t need to stop at McDonald’s on the way back to our hotel. Maybe I should have ordered something else, but honestly there was not much on the menu that appealed to me and it was nothing like the menus in the pics online. We are just passing through town but if I lived here I wouldn’t go back.

We came last night .food was exceptional service terrible .the waiter literally threw the food at us .in and out in an hour . It was my birthday my husband asked the front if they would make a simple birthday gesture little candle in the desert .the front said off course the waiter couldn't be bothered ( which i hope he noticed that his tip was small )I dont know if I would return again or even suggest the place to anyone else .it's a shame when the food is that good that everything else is letting it down .the decoration inside completely confused .for 104 years of business I would think it would be more professional. The wine was also not good. I ordered a Gavi my favorite wine and he opened a screw top wine .no cork that would have been too much effort for the server to open . The food we had was so good it's such a shame the wine and service let it down .if your looking for a good takeaway this is the spot.
