Basilica – Fresh Italian

Basilica is a good Italian restaurant that is unfortunately located somewhat far away from the Helsinki city centre, in Lauttasaari and in Ruoholahti. The Lauttasaari restaurant, 3-4 kilometers from the railway station, is the original and oldest. They have just opened a new restaurant in Ruoholahti waterfront, reachable by metro.

Basilica’s food is excellent basic Italian foods. No bells and whistles, but just good food and relaxed atmosphere — several types of pasta, pizzas and fine Italian style meat.

They have a short lunch menu every weekday and à la carte menu during evenings and weekends.
