    One of our go-to restaurants when we are in Milburn before attending the Papermill Theater. Park at the Papermill, then an easy walk to and from the restaurant. We have been doing this for many, many years.

    After the show, we had dinner at Basilico in Milburne, a restaurant we highly recommend. We have immense respect for this exceptional establishment. The welcoming smile upon arrival creates a soothing atmosphere, and our server's friendly greeting upon seating adds to the warm ambiance. As our server expertly opens our wine and presents the day's specials, we appreciate the exceptional service, lack of rush, and the culinary experience, which showcases the chef's passion and delights our palates.
