Basilico New York Deli and Italian Market brings a taste of the Big Apple and Italian countryside to Virginia, offering a distinctive culinary experience unlike any other in the Fredericksburg area. This establishment blends the robust flavors of a traditional New York deli with the rich heritage of Italian cuisine, creating a food destination for enthusiasts.
Visitors can enjoy piled-high corned beef brisket sandwiches prepared daily on-premise, authentic New York-style sandwiches on rye bread, or savor classic Italian dishes like chicken cacciatore—all under one roof.
The Authentic Menu
What truly sets Basilico apart is its commitment to quality and authenticity. The restaurant features a brick oven where pizzas are crafted with fresh ingredients alongside housemade soups, stews, and salads that showcase seasonal produce. The diverse menu extends to various sandwiches, pasta dishes, appetizers, and sides that cater to every palate.
For those with a sweet tooth, the establishment offers masterfully crafted desserts prepared by their in-house pastry chef and fresh gelato made daily. With knowledgeable staff providing friendly, family-like service, Basilico’s mission is to deliver unique entrées made with the freshest natural ingredients available.
While many might be familiar with Italian bakeries, delis, or Italian-American restaurants, Basilico offers something genuinely unique—a place where customers can enjoy the best of both Italian and New York culinary traditions.
The passionate team behind Basilico shares their love for fine Italian products and diverse food offerings with every customer who walks through their doors. Customers looking for imported Italian specialty items, essential Italian cooking ingredients, or simply wanting to enjoy their signature dishes in a welcoming atmosphere will find Basilico delivers an authentic experience that bridges two beloved culinary worlds.
