My friend and I ate here this evening before watching a film at the plaza cinema a 2minute walk away. I had seen this place on the map and often thought i should try it. On first glance this little restaurant doesn't look much but don't judge a book by its cover, go inside and enjoy the pizza.On arrival the place was quiet bar one couple enjoying their food. The lovely waitress/possible owner took a little while to greet us but once she did I can't complain. We quickly ordered our food and beverage each. Whilst we chatted they decided to put some questionable pop/rap/rnb music on which was a bit louder than background music so I had to pay attention to my friends conversation. However all can he forgiven as when our pizzas arrived they were authentic and delicious. Having been to Italy multiple times I can confirm these Woodfired sour dough pizzas in Dorset are fantastic. The waitress also checked on us a couple of times which i appreciate. Great little find. A shame for the owners that it wasn't busier as they deserve to have more footfall on a Friday night. The bill was very reasonable. 2 soft drinks and 2 pizzas was just over £35.00.I will 100% be returning with my partner and no doubt with my friend again.

A good 20 or so of us challenged their accommodation and oven capacity the other night, but they were friendly and worked hard to get our orders right and out in good time. The pizzas were gorgeous and we all had a great time.

I used to live in Rome, and have to say that the pizza in Basilico is the best I've ever eaten in England. The crust is perfect, the ingredients fresh and excellently blended. Delicious. Service is good, atmosphere friendly. Also, the staff are well-informed about allergy issues, and my grandson greatly enjoyed his gluten-free pepperoni. Highly recommended.Dietary restrictions: Owner very informed about allergy issuesParking: Plenty of spaces in a paying but not expensive carpark a hundred yards away

Lovely friendly staff. Home Italian cooking like you get in Italy. The price of food and wine is very reasonable and good value for money.

After a day out in Bournemouth we really fancied italian for dinner, I google searched italian restaurants on our way home and this restaurant popped up, we thought we would take a chance and we were not disappointed! The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing! We have 2 small children and we were worried what the atmosphere might be like but it was fantastic, we were all greeted in a friendly manner and made to feel so welcome, the food was amazing and we all cleared our plates. Would definitely recommend families giving this a try.

Very impressive - the pizza was of a very very high standard and one of the best I've eaten. Service was friendly and professional. I heard the young waitress talking to another customer to explain that the restaurant was not quite breaking even. It was a shame that almost half of the dessert menu was unavailable as I know myself and several other customers wanted the tiramisu and would have spent more money. I encourage all local people to use this fantastic restaurant and hope that it continues to trade.

Ordered two pizzas and a garlic bread for takeaway, and everything was DELICIOUS ? The toppings seemed fresh and the pizza base had the perfect chew. Loved it! During pickup the staff were super friendly and helpful, which was awesome considering how busy they were! Definitely a must try in Dorchester.
