Basil Leaf Cafe

Nestled in the charming town of Locust Valley, New York, Basil Leaf Cafe is a cozy Italian eatery that offers a unique and intimate dining experience. Our ristorante is located in a quaint shopping center, adjacent to two buildings, and features two distinct dining rooms. The first room is perfect for a romantic evening, with its lush floral drapes and soothing green tones, while the second room is ideal for a fun night out with family and friends, with its all-brick bar, wood-burning stove, and vintage photographs adorning the walls.

In the summer, our beautiful common patio separating the two dining rooms is the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal or a refreshing glass of wine. We also offer a stunning upstairs dining room for private parties, making us the perfect choice for special occasions.

At Basil Leaf Cafe, our menu is inspired by traditional Italian cuisine, with a modern twist. Our antipasti options include a range of delicious dishes, from grilled mixed vegetables with extra virgin olive oil to prosciutto di parma, coppa, and cured salami with olives and cheese.
