Basil and Co Ristorante Italiano - (Near Kent, South East)

5 /5 Huda idriss: We visited this family-run Italian restaurant for our anniversary and were absolutely blown away. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and made with such care. Every dish felt thoughtful and fresh, from the lobster ravioli to the vibrant scallops and delicious bruschettas. The staff were incredible—warm, attentive, and accommodating to our dietary needs. They even surprised us with thoughtful touches for our anniversary, which made the evening feel extra special. The whole experience was cozy, elegant, and full of heart. Highly recommend for a special night out or anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional service. Wow!

5 /5 Damon Berry: This is my favourite restaurant in the area. The Italian cuisine is fantastic. This time we thought we would go for lunch and try their Sunday roast. We were not dissappear. We both had the lamb which was cooked to perfection and as usual the service was excellent. The owner and staff are always happy,friendly and attentive.

5 /5 Philippa Potter: We turned up on a Saturday night at 8:44 with no booking and were welcomed straight away with absolutely amazing service. The staff and the owner were incredible – friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food wasn’t just food – it was pure food porn! Every bite was packed with flavour, beautifully presented, and far beyond what we expected. I honestly cannot recommend Basil & Co enough – fantastic atmosphere, wonderful people, and food that leaves you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished the meal.

5 /5 Emma Phillips: Incredible standard of food and staff. Always Consistent. I brought a few friends here for a birthday last weekend, I have been dining here since they opened and it just gets better and better. You can see what a solid team they are with highly trained happy staff who always make us welcome. Thankyou for your hard work creating this amazing restaurant.

5 /5 Plants Rock: Had been meaning to try for a long time & I’m gutted we didn’t! What an absolute gem in the heart of Tankerton. The inside is much larger than it looks & is decorated to create a nice atmosphere with comfortable seating & space. The staff, from the minute we arrived until we left were outstanding! You can tell Every member of staff is invested in the restaurants success, giving the best service available. Attentive, not over the top, knowledgeable & polite. The menu had great options, a twist on the usual Italian choices & having three vegan options plus others that can be changed is impressive for this area. A good choice of alcohol free beer, wine & cocktails is also unusual & very welcome. The food arrived looking spectacular, the finishing touches thought through & all of our party were impressed with the portion size (just enough) & the taste. 3 of us had the mushroom pasta that was naturally vegan with the fresh home made pasta soft but tasty & just enough to feel satisfied. Good choice of deserts & a vegan cheesecake with strawberry coulis which was like jam, could have just had that in a tub! All three courses were impressive & all four of us enjoyed each one which never happens when we go out. I hope they change the menu regularly (especially the vegan options) as that’s a frustration for regular diners out. We will definitely be back to try the lunch & Sunday afternoon menu & I truly wish this restaurant every success as they deserve it.. 10/10 all round..
