Sweet Basilico Cafe

It's a testament to quality, friendliness, and great food that Sweet Basilico has been in business for 20 years in Estes Park. As a mostly tourist town, this restaurant attracts travelers and residents alike while many local restaurants come and go with each season. The food is amazing; try the tortellini! Surprisingly simple and delicious garlic bread, caprese salad on par with any restaurant and friendly, caring servers. The wine list is limited, but really quite good for what is best described as an affordable, but not too modest family restaurant. Highly recommended.

Service was pretty goodFood great. Hubby had Lasagna and rated it as between Olive Garden and Maggiano's. I had Chicken something which I adored for the fact it had more mushrooms and chicken than pasta...and maybe more artichoke hearts. The sauce was bright and went well with everything...just enough stringy mozzarella to tie it all together.

Visiting from Phoenix, stopped by not expecting too much given the location. I tried the TORTELLINI CREMA DE PESTO and it was amazing. One of my favorite pasta dishes I've ever had. The calamari is also pretty good.
