Basil Mediterranean Bistro

I visited Basil's new location on 5th Street Extended and was quite disappointed. While the food was good and plentiful, the service was unfortunately lacking.

The staff at Basil were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I hadn't visited a Mediterranean restaurant in quite some time, and they guided me toward some great choices...

I believe Basil is one of the most underrated and delicious restaurants in Charlottesville. Firstly, the portion sizes are incredibly generous. A half...

I had a fantastic dinner at Basil Mediterranean Bistro. I enjoyed a Greek-style salad, followed by the Lamb Kebabs for my entrée, and I finished off with some gelato. The service was exceptional. It’s a charming little spot nestled on the south side of Charlottesville.

This was our first experience dining at Basil, although we opted for takeout due to the Coronavirus. We ordered several dishes and enjoyed them family-style. The hummus, spanakopita, and bruschetta were all fantastic—definitely some of the highlights, and we would order them again without a doubt. However, we found the falafel and stuffed grape leaves to be just average and probably wouldn’t order them again. Aside from the bruschetta, everything came with hummus, pita triangles, and an assortment of olives and small pickles. There are plenty of vegetarian options, and we look forward to ordering from Basil again in the future!
