Chef's Special

Truffle Wagyu Ribeye

Live from the pass
Our story

The vision of Chef Alexander Thorne

Trained in Modena and sharpened in New York, Chef Thorne built Basilico around a single belief — luxury is restraint. A handful of perfect ingredients, fire handled with patience, and a room that lets the food speak first.

Every evening begins at the market and ends at the wood oven. Pasta is rolled by hand at 4pm. The wagyu rests over embers. The dining room glows low and golden, because great meals — like great films — deserve beautiful light.

Basilico doesn't serve dinner — it stages it. The wagyu course alone justifies the pilgrimage.
