When we arrived in San Diego on our short trip to southern California we immediately went to our old “living room” - Cucina Basilico. Classic Italian food made completely in-house with care. It was also great to see Francesca and Danilo again (and we are glad the restaurant survived the pandemic)
It was great as always - hopefully we will now have the chance to come down more often
As always you start with their warm, freshly baked rolls
Rustic salame and mortadella
Prosciutto Crudo
Polpette with their marinara sauce
Pork ossobuco with porcini risotto
Raviolo filled with spinach
Mushroom casarecce with pesto and sausage
Semifreddo with marsala raisin and berry reduction
Vanilla panna cotta
Tiramisu (still our gold standard)
