Style: With a broad two-story window facing Millburn’s downtown strip, this Northern Italian eatery radiates warmth, with crimson and yellow hues alongside natural wood and exposed brick.
Don’t Miss: Zucca e pannocchie, a butternut squash-and-corn soup ($6.50), and farro, a bed of Italian grain with arugula, cherry tomatoes, sweet peas, and pecorino cheese ($8.95). Basilico’s specialty, braised veal shank over saffron risotto, is so tender it falls off the bone ($25.95). Other favorites include braised beef with ricotta ravioli ($19.95) and squid ink fresh spaghetti with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari in spicy tomato sauce ($17.95). The trio di dolci, a tasting of crème brûlée, baked Alaska, and chocolate-banana phyllo wrap ($8.50), makes a sweet conclusion. Lunch options include paninis ($9.95) and omelettes ($9.95–$11.95).
Heads Up: BYO, except for cabernet sauvignon, Maréchal Foch, chardonnay, and blush wines from Amwell Valley Vineyards in Ringoes.
The Scoop: In warm months, Basilico sets out tables on the sidewalk; there is also garden seating in back.
