Experience timeless Italian mastery at Basilico Café on Main North Road in Prospect. Heading the kitchen of this Adelaide dining destination is 83-year-old Chef Enzo, who brings decades of authentic Italian tradition to the menu, along with a touch of nostalgia and a dash of innovation. With ingredients imported from Italy, expect to taste starters like calamari fritti, salad and aioli, or arancini with Napoli sauce and salad; before twirling your fork around spaghetti with vongole, olive oil, chilli, wine, garlic and parsley. Pizza lovers can pick up a slice topped with roast lamb, tomato, mozzarella, onion, spinach and tzatziki sauce; or devour pork ribs, with chips and salad, best enjoyed with a glass of red wine. For a divine dolci, try white chocolate panna cotta and berry sauce.
