Basilico operates ten Italian and Spanish restaurants across Jacksonville, Florida and Uruguay, with multiple locations throughout Montevideo's Carrasco, Parque Rodó, and Pócitos neighborhoods, plus an outpost in Punta del Este. The menu combines traditional Italian pasta preparations with Spanish tapas service, centered on wood-fired pizzas and Mediterranean entrees. Each location maintains consistent hours and features a curated wine program alongside house-made desserts. The restaurant group's culinary program emphasizes classic Italian techniques applied to locally-sourced ingredients, particularly evident in signature dishes like Chicken Parmigiana and Salmon Piccata. Kitchen operations across all locations maintain standardized recipes and preparation methods developed at the original Jacksonville location. The group has established supply partnerships with regional producers to maintain consistent ingredient sourcing across its international footprint. Basilico participates in local cultural events including Montevideo's carnival season through themed menu offerings and location-specific promotions. The group maintains a banking partnership with Scotia services that provides loyalty program benefits to regular guests. Social media channels for individual locations share updates about seasonal menu changes, cultural celebrations, and community involvement.
