BASIL RESTAURANT – Thai
Licensed as Basil Restaurant and trading as Art Basil, this coastal Italian kitchen sits by the Ocean Avenue bridge, hangs work by local artists on its walls, and opens for dinner. The New York-style pizza comes twelve or eighteen inches: carne amore with pepperoni, sausage, meatball and bacon, or the white with ricotta, mozzarella and pecorino. Pasta runs to rigatoni alla vodka with prosciutto and peas, the Angelina with artichokes and sun-dried tomato, Grandma Anna's bolognese lasagna. Nonna's meatballs and clams oreganata open proceedings. Happy hour lands daily from half past four. Regulars ask for a table on the patio.
