Pizzeria Il Basilico
Northgate Street, Athlone, Co. Westmeath
About
Pizzeria Il Basilico is a wood-fired pizza spot on Northgate Street, an easy, informal choice on the Left Bank when a proper Neapolitan-style pizza is what's wanted rather than a sit-down dinner. It does dine-in and takeaway, and it is popular enough locally that a real local voice writing about Athlone singled it out by name alongside the town's independent cafes as part of what she supports over the chains. Straightforward, no-fuss and reliably good, rather than a destination restaurant.
