Basille’s Restrnt

Let me get this out first. Ive never been to artichokes in manhattan, so i have no expectations of what I wanted basilles to be. Going in to this place for the first time with a large group of people, we were left very happily surprised! A nice treat we received the spinach and articoke pizza crusts on our tables for starters, Can you say delicious!!! the pasta sauce itself is some of the sweetest ive experienced on the island which for me is a good thing. the portions are big, the prices arent to high. its definitley a much better quality strived for food them most «pizza» places in the island. I did try a regular pizza pie from them once, and i wasnt left awe struck like i am at lee’s tavern. Everything else is great!

MISSION: Should you choose to accept, you will be guided to some of the Island’s top pizza joints.
Well, still searching. I think I may self combust after this shocking let down of a pizza pie. Sauce that my Jewish dad could make better, lackluster dough, and unimpressive cheese.
We had such high expectations what with Artichoke in Manhattan being all the rage this month. (This is the family restaurant, the place the Artichoke boys learned their pizza craft, we assume.) Oh well. NEXT.

While this place has decent pizza the listing is misleading. Basille’s is a RESTAURANT and one of the best italian ones on the island. HUGE portions and always good. Good service. Very crowded on weekends.
