For a long while after we moved to Jersey, our go-to option when we didn't feel like cooking was the hot buffet at Whole Foods. But now thanks to the flurry of restaurants joining Door Dash, we are slowly getting back in the habit of treating ourselves to take-out meals on the weekend like we did when living in the city. Our most recent take-out splurge: a bit of Italian flavors from Basilico in Millburn.
We're still doing our best to avoid processed foods and sugars, so we were pleased to find lots of delicious options that don't include pasta. We wound up sharing three dishes, and the servings were so plentiful we had leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day.
Calamari Fra'diavolo
We
love a good calamari dish, and this one hit all the right notes.
Spicy, as promised by the name, and not too chewy. Definitely a win.
St. Tropez Salad
A
nice dish featuring crab meat and shrimp. Refreshing and light, and
the grapefruit added a nice touch of acid to balance the seafood.
Chicken Liguria
We
requested mixed vegetables instead of the pasta the dish usually comes
with. The chicken was a bit tough, but the sauce and vegetables were
tasty.
We had heard great things about Basilico before, so we're glad we finally had a chance to try it. We'll definitely remember them next time we're in the mood for Italian.
