A Taste of Italy
At Basil & Co Ristorante Italiano, we are dedicated to bringing you the best of Italy, right here in Kent — using the freshest locally sourced ingredients alongside the finest imports from Italy.
To ensure the highest quality, we keep our à la carte menu small, allowing us to prepare every dish fresh to order. We are always introducing weekly specials, inspired by the best ingredients we can source each week.
Here are some of our most popular dishes that we occasionally feature on our menu. As our menu is constantly changing, these dishes may not always be available — but when they are, they're definitely worth trying!
