Il Basilico is an incredible Italian Restaurant outside of Playa Guiones. The food is excellent, the vibe is amazing, and the fact that it is run and owned by a local is fantastic. This is a great place to bring your family and friends!!

From a vegan perspective they catered to us without hesitsion. Pizza without cheese was amazing, the salads were crisp and fresh, the spaghetti...although probably had egg in it, was a guilty pleasure. An amazing oasis of Italy in a Costa Rican forest!

I ate here two nights during my stay. Had pizza and beer one night and it was very good. The next night I had chicken and rice and it was excellent too. Good prices. One night the waiter was so so and the next night the waiter was great so the great one got an exta 20% tip from me...

Great Tuna and ceviche. The fish was really fresh. The tuna carpaccio was great. With so many good places to eat in Playa Guiones, Il Basico and the Beach Dog were the only places we went back to more than once.

It was excellent,my friends both ordered pasta dishes as well and they were satisfied too!! I was here last year with a bunch of guys and we ordered pizza and it was very good (it's a hard...

The pizza was fine, a bit more cheese than crust though.
The service was not very friendly and it was hard to ask a question or get the check, but not a big deal.
The restaurant was clean and a nice atmosphere, despite the loud music.
Personally, would rather got to Rancho Tico or La Luna for their wood fired...
