Scheduled to be in Chicago for a week long training course, in the Rosemont area, I checked out citysearch to see where the good italian places were. Basilico was rated highly, so I thought I would give it a shot. I will be deeply honest when I state that upon arrival at the restaurant location I was a bit hesitant. The restaurant is actually in a business building, and at first glance you might not consider it to be the highest class. I'm here to tell you DON'T think like that or you will miss out on one of the most incredible italian meals you will ever have. Not only that, but the service was friendly, punctual, and helpful. I happened to get there for an early dinner and had the priviledge of meeting the owner who greeted me at the door. The food was exceptional! A simple request to the waiter about changing one of the menu options was greeted with an ""of course!"" I had the stuffed gnocchi with their own famous basilico sauce - a fresh tomatoe, garlic, olive oil and basil. \r
