Basile’s offers a large selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches (i.e., burgers, wraps, paninis, hot and cold subs, and clubs), meat and seafood entrees, Stromboli, pasta, platters, and pizza in an array of styles. Its picture-perfect food presentations are worthy of sharing on social media, if you so desire.

Those planning a party should take advantage of the back room and treat their guests to Basile’s delicious food offerings, while the Basile’s staff does the rest. This includes both setup and cleanup.
