Weekends are all about celebrating la dolce vita, especially when it comes to good eating and drinking with family, loved ones and friends. And if Italian cuisine is right up there on your list of fave foods, you’ll find a plethora of Mediterranean brunch options around the city where you can indulge in antipasti, freshly baked breads, pastas, risottos, pizzas and more.
Basilico
If you’re going to gorge, you may as well go all out, and Basilico’s weekend brunch is exactly the place to do that. Grab a seat indoors or outdoors by the pool and take the time to peruse the multiple food stations and rooms piled high with sliced meats, salads, foie gras, fresh seafood, pizzas, pastas, grilled meats and sweet treats. Oh—and they have not one but two cheese rooms. Heaven!
