What started off as a weekly night out with a bunch of guys, has now turned into a full fledged and functioning Italian & South Asian eatery in the heart of downtown Bowmanville. Living outside of the GTA, both to the far East and West, the crave & quest for a high quality, family friendly South Asian and Italian fine dine in was never ending. After much thought (and convincing) these five guys took their various years of experience working in restaurants, both behind the scenes and in front, to carve their paths as entrepreneurs in the culinary world.
So, what’s in a name? The Basilico, translated to “basil”, is an essential ingredient found in almost all of both South Asian and Italian cuisine. Without it, there would be no harmony in the flavours. Likewise, The Basilico, being the new kid on the block, strives to bring together the Durham community by sharing our passion for fresh dishes cooked with only the best ingredients. Established in March 2024, we are an independent family run neighbourhood restaurant with the main goal of providing high quality food in a classic but relaxed & welcoming environment.
Our cozy & refined facility holds approximately 130 seats (patio included) with the option of reserving a private secluded dine-in space for intimate gatherings (i.e. birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, baby showers etc.), corporate events & conferences. We are open every day from 8am to 10pm, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, ready to serve the public dishes and dishes of freshly made, authentic meals.
Looking forward to meeting you soon. Come in and say hi today
