Had a lovely time at this Italian restaurant, the atmosphere was, cozy and inviting.
There is a superb drinks selection of wine tasting or flights, all of which very reasonably priced. Even the cocktail offerings is good, before 6pm 2-4-1 which is great!
The food was served in a reasonable time and the small kitchenette at the end of the bar meant you could see the chef busy at work! The menu isn’t vast but what they offer they do very well, it’s tasty, and fresh, and there’s a lovely choice.
The staff are friendly, attentive and extremely courteous.
We booked via the fork app and the staff automatically applied the 50% discount without prompting to our bill.
Was a lovely evening and we had a pleasant evening, thank you 👌🏻

Absolute gem, had no idea this existed in Croydon! Delicious authentic Italian food, friendly Italian staff and great atmosphere. I recommend the 3 wine selection (rose, white, red) and the platter. And they allow dogs :)

Very friendly little bistro with attentive friendly staff and good food in generous portions. I shared one of their sharing boards and it was super, cold meats, cheeses, olives, bread etc very tasty, especially the walnuts and goats cheese. The goats cheese salad was tasty also, if a little sparse on the goats cheese.

We ate here with the whole volleyball team and we absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was delicious, cosy atmosphere and friendly service. We had issues with the accommodation and they let us stay until close meanwhile we were sorting it out. Great experience all around!

Loved this place. Went for their happy hour and enjoyed delicious cocktails. The star of the show though was the sharing platter and the friendly service.

Came here to celebrate a birthday with family, staff were very attentive, antipasti platter was delicious and the Italian sausage & mushroom pizza was tasty and so was the drinks. We were told pasta dishes will soon be introduced to the menu, I'd come back again!

Located a short walk away from east Croydon train station.
Friendly welcome.
Interior in the darker side with nice lighting and some reminiscent of Valentine’s Day with love hearts stuck to the walls.
Had the negroni- was good.
The weekly pizza special which was burrata and mortadella which is put on after the pizza is done.
Only issue is that it was rather tasteless-
Could have more seasoning/ flavouring. Pizza base was good.
Tiramisu was good.
Was overcharged for the negroni and had to get it amended.
Dinner- in and out in an hour.

What a gem of a restaurant in central Croydon.
A couple of decent vegan options and the staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Large selection of wine and spirits, lovely décor and friendly staff.
It's intimate and relaxing, worth a visit!

Wow what a great choice we made. A spur of the moment decision to visit.
Truly great food. Massima platter fantastic as were our two pizzas with a little touch of amazing Truffle oil.
Mohammed served us and was great we asked for a few extra things, he and the team were very accomodating. A couple of Peroni's and some Primitiva.
Top Marks!!

We went to this restaurant about a month ago and had a wonderful evening; We started by trying the special pizza - a lovely mix of cheese and pistachio, served alongside a lovely bottle of wine suggested by the staff specifically to compliment our food. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were friendly - especially our server, Omar, who made sure our evening was perfect. The ambiance made this a fantastic meal and we’ll definitely be coming back

Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant! Pizza was cooked in the right temperature and indeed delicious. They offer great selection of wine and the staff are very courteous and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic wine tasting!!! We had a lovely Italian waiter who was also the wine expert and had extensive knowledge on the wines for our evening. Was served with a delicious fresh platter with great cheese! I'm also a cheese connoisseur myself 😁 (I like to think) so that is truly a compliment. First time wind tasting but not first time with good wine as it is a weakness, yet I highly recommend!
Had a very lovely surprise from the staff in the end as celebrating an anniversary! Delicious Tirimasu and bottomless champagne 🍾. Lovely staff, pretty surroundings and 5 star service and food! Highly recommended

Delicious, thin crust pizzas freshly cooked. Daily lunch special is very good value for money, as is the 3-wine taster- each subtle different. Ice-creams and tiramisu were also good, but forget the vegan ice-cream - awful!
Would definitely go back.

Busy Friday evening but a table was found for 3 in a very cosy area at the rear of the restaurant. Very prompt service with attentive staff. Had Suprema board, tasty with a great dessert. Would return for sure.
Lisa Howard
Nice cosy italian style restaurant. Good choice of pizzas and brushetta starter was delicious. Staff were very friendly. Looses a star for the 13.5% service charge included. Would rather have decided on my own tip thanks.

Where do I begin? I’ve been here for lunch and cocktails and the food and service was wonderful.
The review I am leaving is for the wine tasting experience. Once in the private area, our guide was Dyan who was amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable. He explained the wines, regions they were from and accompanying food perfectly. The wines and the food they paired was absolutely exceptional. The perfect amount of time between course and overall we had a brilliant enjoyable experience all for a reasonable price.
I would highly recommend Basil and Grape for lunch/ dinner or wine tasting, as having been here a few times now I cannot fault in anyway. If you want a leisurely time with great food and fantastic staff here is your place. Truly authentic and absolutely fabulous!
Also one of the only places in the area that do a classic daiquiri. The cocktails were very good.
