Basilico Luzern

This was a nice departure from eating local fare. The pizza was excellent and fresh, especially if you prefer a thin crispy oven crust. Service was nice. There are tables outside. On a quiet street close to the train station.

The restaurant is clean with a clean model design. I ordered Arrabbiata with spaghetti and my boyfriend ordered Hawaiian pizza. The pizza was good but I had to say that the Arrabbiata was VERY awesome! They also provided you with a small cup of cheese and chopped chillies in olive oil. The chopped chillies in olive oil added a very great flavor to the Arrabbiata. We also ordered tiramisu and a local beer, Eichhof and both were also delicious. The tiramisu had a hint of orange liquor but not enough coffee in it but it was still very good.

I cannot quite follow the other reviewers here. We moved across the street since the «Havanna» would no serve food.
The service was quick and attentive, but the food disappointed. I ordered «Salvatore», a pasta dish with shrimps (5 in total) an some tomato sauce that tasted like from a jar and reminded me of my student days (when I had no idea that cooking does mean more than «opening»). At least the Mango in it was breaking up the dull taste a bit.
A beer from a can for 6 Francs… well I may have to get used to this numbers.
The pizza my wife ordered was OK, eatable.

Nice pizza and pasta. Cosy ambience. Service was efficient and friendly.
Ordered a Pizza Margherita and Hawaii, and a Tagliatelle Carbonara (portion was good enough for us, 2 adults and 2 hungry kids).
So one can budget accordingly, meals are very expensive in Switzerland, as are everything else, price ranges as follow:
Pizza ChF 15 – 19;
Pasta ChF16−20,
Wine ChF 7 – 9 per glass.
Did we enjoy the meal? Definitely yes.
Do we recommend it? Definitely yes.
They do takeaway as well.

Food was good, portions were large. Service was good, but not amazing. They spoke English. Prices were agreeable for the area, but they do charge for tap water. Sort of silly in my opinion! We had the arabiata which was SUPER spicy and I love spicy foods and also the Basillica pasta which was good as well.

My wife and I ate here last night. A great place! We split the penne arrabiata and a mushroom pizza. Both were delicious! The service was friendly and the server spoke English. The menu was in German but was very easy to figure out. The prices were very reasonable particularly for Lucerne. We would definitely go back.

My fiancée and I ventured out of our hotel hoping to find somewhere affordable to eat, but having resigned ourselves to the fact that we’d probably end up having to pay a fortune for a decent feed.
We found this place after some walking around, and decided to give it a go. The prices are quite reasonable (17 – 18 CHF for a large pizza), especially considering the location. Service was good, and the waitresses both spoke English (although I used the opportunity to practice my German anyway).
The pizzas were absolutely delicious, with perfectly cooked bases. We didn’t sample anything else on the menu, but I’d be glad to come back and try some of the pasta.
No English menus unfortunately, but pizza toppings tend to be easy to interpret.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a good, inexpensive restaurant in Luzern.

Kleines Italienisches Restaurant für Pizza und Pasta. Gutes Preis/​Leistungsverhältnis. Ideal auch zum Mitnehmen.

Kleines und sympathisches Restaurant mitten in Luzern. Das Essen war super, die Bedienung freundlich und die Preise günstig. Einzig der grosse Tomaten-​Mozzarella-​Salat war ein wenig zu klein geraten.
