Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the grilled chicken and pepper chicken with sautéed vegetables and potatoes as tender, well seasoned and flavourful, with friendly, attentive service repeatedly praised. Value for money comes up consistently. A few mention basic or worn decor, and one reviewer found the tiramisu runny, though the mango sorbet and open-to-the-street frontage on the Barbican drew separate praise.

“Our experience at Basilico Blue was a good one. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Some of the decor and sitting could do with a bit of love, but otherwise it was a comfortable environment. Our food was mostly great. We had the grilled chicken which was tender and juicy, packed with flavour. The sides of salad and chips were not anything special, but the portion size was great. For dessert we had the tiramisu and mango sorbet. My tiramisu was quite runny but the sorbet was fine. We paid £32 for 2 dishes each which was very good value for money. I would definitely visit this place again.”
