This is a memorable dining moment for me because...My boyfriend took the effort to plan for this surprise. Thrifty as he is, he spent willingly on this meal just because it's my birthday. Thank you. We don't normally eat at such expensive places so it really touched my heart when he brought me here for dinner The food didn't disappoint. It's really nice and the ambience of the place with the service of the staff really made the evening even more memorable.

This is the 2nd time I'm here & first time for my other 2 girls. One has no idea what to expect, one wanted to come here for years & finally I booked it for her BD. But I know clearly, both would love this place!

It was a Sunday lunch so there's no promotion, the price is also more expensive than normal days as the spread is abit different (with... free flow of Foie Gras).

Ham & cheese are the standard must have for Italian buffet, we are SPOILED by the choices of cheese, I think we couldn't have tried all of them. The Seafood Soup was something u'll crave for a second bowl thought u're very full. Have you ever tried meatball made from Wagyu? Yummy Risotto was presented to us half way thru the meal. Free flow of thick Foie Gras on truffle-topped crunchy bread was started to be serve at about 2pm. My girl who's never ate foie gras before had 3 big pieces & I think her $70+ was already gained back, me & the other fren were not a big fan of it, instead we indulged in many pieces of Chilled Alaska Crab Leg!!!!! Just the thought of them makes me wanna go back tomorrow... We wanted to try every piece of dessert but we were really too full... I dun have to say much, u guys jus go & try them!!!! Lastly instead of ordering jus a coffee or tea, I ordered a double expresso to pour on their high quality rich coffe-flavoured ice-cream to make my own Affogato -> the best Affogato I've tried so far.

Service was great, everyone (except one lady tat seems abit fierce) are full of smile & never reject our requests tat may not be their job. I didn't mention it's my fren's BD while booking but only let the staff know in the middle of the meal & ask for a cake, he immediately said no problem & observantly presented a yummy & generous slice of cake at the right time, with lighted candle & a chocolate-drew Happy birthday.

When the cake was presented & we asked the BD girl for her wish, she said it's already came true -> a marvelous meal @ Basilico. (& top it up with "world peace" haha)
