Basilico Italian Restaurant at Radisson Blu Resort, Fiji

July 17, 2025

Basilico at the Radisson Fiji was a wonderful dining experience! We had the seared beef tenderloin medallions and the Scaloppine di Vitello al Vino Bianco—both dishes were cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The Italian-inspired menu impressed us, and the oceanfront setting made the evening even more memorable. Our server, Makereta, was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was relaxed yet elegant, and the staff’s genuine hospitality stood out. Highly recommend for a delicious and unforgettable night out! The sunset…. not to be missed!

We arrived at 5pm, well before the dinner rush, hoping to enjoy an early meal with our kids. The restaurant was virtually empty, only three tables taken, yet we were told all the "family tables" were booked. We were polite, explained we were staying next door, and mentioned we'd be gone by 6pm. Still, we were refused. We'd seen the 4.0 rating and the reviews mentioning terrible food, but we weren’t going to be dissuaded. We like to judge for ourselves. Sadly, we never got the chance. It felt clear we were being turned away simply because we had children with us. No apology, no effort to accommodate, just a flat "no." This felt like straight-up discrimination. If you don't want families dining at your restaurant, just say so. Don’t hide behind flimsy excuses. We took our business elsewhere and had a lovely evening. Your loss.

Lots of delicious options and all pasta can be gluten free. Tbone was a little chewy. Desserts were great.

We are staying at another resort on Denarau but decided to try out Basilico. We arrived at 5pm and were seated straight away. The service was outstanding (thanks Markareta). We ordered gnocchi and risotto and both meals were very delicious.

We had a wedding anniversary dinner at this restaurant. Service was perfect. Very friendly and we appreciated the effort given. Food for our set menu was limited with 2 options per course. We went with a prawn and bacon pasta. Prawns and bacon were tasty but the sauce was flavourless. Next course was Mahi fish fillet on vegetables. Fish was well cooked, but no sauce or finesse for the dish. Last was desert. These servings were large but lacked finesse. Lastly my wife paid extra for a location dining experience. Although at sunset the location would have been spectacular. It is situated next to the Lebanese restaurant so their customers/kids played in front of us continually which wasn't a major concern, but not worth the additional fee charged. Additionally the music from both places confused the experience. All in all this meal experience cost >AU$300 and was not worth the cost. If you have a special event don't waste your money on the special location event.
