Our history, our essence

il basilico

From a family restaurant
to a landmark in Platja d’Aro
Basilico began as a family-run Italian restaurant with the clear mission of sharing the authentic flavors of Italy in the heart of Platja d’Aro. For years, it has been a meeting place for those seeking honest dishes, traditional recipes, and a warm atmosphere.
Over time, Basilico became a local staple: wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta, creamy risottos, and homemade desserts were part of a menu that won over locals and visitors alike.
A restaurant that didn’t need to shout to stand out: its cuisine spoke for itself.

Basilico begins a new era with the Grupo Algar with a clear gastronomic vision: elevating authenticity without losing the essential.

The group, which also successfully manages Enjoy it and Pura Brasa, brings experience, quality, and a way of understanding the restaurant industry based on honesty, innovation, and respect for the product.
We maintain what has always made us unique: Italian cuisine made with soul, quality ingredients, and friendly service.
And we’ve added improvements that look to the future: renovated spaces, a refined menu, and a more complete experience for all our guests.

At Basilico, we continue to cook come una volta, but with the energy of a new team, the strength of an established brand, and the desire to continue growing while remaining true to ourselves.

The same spirit as always,
in good hands

At Basilico, we believe that a restaurant isn’t just about what’s served on the plate, but how it makes the person who eats it feel. That’s why, even though the team has grown and evolved, the soul remains intact: hospitality, warmth, and that Mediterranean atmosphere that invites you to stay a little longer.

Artisan wood-fired pizzas

Thin dough, crispy edges, and the finest ingredients: that’s how our pizzas are made, just like in Naples.

Fresh pasta al dente

Freshly prepared with traditional sauces such as carbonara, pesto, or bolognese.

Creamy and tasty risottos

Slow-cooked with arborio rice and combinations such as mushrooms, seafood, or asparagus.

Homemade desserts with an Italian soul

Tiramisu, panna cotta and other sweet treats to end with a smile.
Perfect for a dinner with friends. The pizza is authentic, and the service is impeccable. A real delight!
