Basil Tree Ristorante123 1st St.Dixon IL. 61021The Basil Tree Ristorante serves Italian Food in an old downtown Dixon building. The bar and dining area are small and it is decorated right out of a design school Italian Restaurant 101 text book. It is clean and the staff is friendly and professional. I was dining solo so I sat at the bar. The bartender was great company, I enjoyed talking with her. I started off with bread, oil and parmesan. They make their own bread and it was very good with just a hint of herb flavor. I love dipping bread in oil and parmesan, it’s so good. Next I had pasta fagioli, the first thing I noticed is it was lukewarm. When you are served food that is off temperature it overshadows everything about the dish. For my entrée I had Chicken Vesuvio. Chicken Vesuvio, a specialty of Chicago, is an Italian-American dish made from chicken on the bone and wedges of potato, celery, and carrots; sauteed with garlic, oregano, white wine, and olive oil, then baked until the chicken's skin becomes crisp. The dish is often garnished with a few green peas for color. Their variation of the dish uses boneless skinless chicken breast which can sometimes be dry and take away some of the moisture from the dish. This however was not the case. The problem with the dish was the over powering pepper flavor. That’s all I could taste. I like Chicken Vesuvio to be garlicy, the chef was heavy handed with the pepper and forgot the garlic. The presentation however was excellent. According To The Big Food Jerk.There is a difference between being a food critic and a restaurant critic. I critique the entire dining experience. From the restaurants web presence till I walk out of the door. So, overall I enjoyed my experience there and I think it is a nice, romantic and quaint place that I would take my wife to. I was not wowed but enjoyed the overall experience enough to recommend Basil Tree Ristorante.
