About Basilico Ristorante

Basilico Ristorante at 47 High Street has been serving pizza and pasta in Gosforth since 1990 — over 35 years of family-run Italian cooking. The rustic interior has a warm, traditional trattoria feel, and the menu doesn't chase trends: classic Italian pizza, handmade pasta, risotto, and Italian mains, all reliably well made. It's the kind of neighbourhood restaurant where the staff know your name and your usual order — a Gosforth institution that's been delivering dependable Italian food quietly for decades.
