1. Basilico

Helmed by Italian chef Luca Beccalli, Basilico tops the list for many with its focus on seasonal ingredients and authentic flavours. Diners can expect a rotisserie, traditional wood fired pizzas, an espresso bar, walk-in wine cellar and hand-crafted desserts. Plus, its Italian buffet is likely the best in town.
