Basilico

Book Direct with the Owner at Basilico in Albert Park with Restaurant Guide for all your restaurant and entertainment needs.

The Basilico restaurants are family owned and operated restaurants, built on an age old European tradition – great food and great times. Basilico has shared this philosophy with family and friends since 2002, around the wood fired oven in each of our restaurants in Glen Waverley, Albert Park, and Windsor.  The wood fired oven dates back to almost 4300BC where European villages tended to have a limited number of ovens in the centre of the village for communal use.

The old village ovens were usually built into small buildings that resembled a chapel, placed near the well, the church and the wash house.  The early European families cooked bread, casseroles, sweet and savoury pies, roasts and cakes. They were a popular gathering and gossiping spots for the town and a meeting place in the evening for courting couples.
