Basil & Grape have adopted the Italian practise of aperitivo, when friends meet after work to relax over a glass of wine and nibble on finger goods such as bruschetta, cured meats and cheeses, just before the main course. Not only does this help build a warm and friendly ambient but it also works up an appetite for the main course, and there is no shortage of options for a main course at Basil & Grape. Ranging from cloud-like pizzas called pinsas to grilled garlic bread otherwise known as bruschettas, you are sure not to be disappointed by the menu.

As well as hand-picked fine wines from Italy and around the world Basil & Grape have a refreshing selection of cocktails from the classics like the espresso martini to originals such as the tijuana containing tequila, agave, coriander, chili and lime.
