Basil Prosperi is a cozy cafe adored for its consistent menu and affordable entrees. The crowd-pleasing menu, which offers pasta, sandwiches, soups and salads, has stayed generally the same for ten years. The daily pasta specials include a cream-based pasta with fresh asparagus, an option not found on the regular list of eats. This chic cafe is a favorite of people who work downtown. Can't afford to spend a minute away from your desk? Lucky for you, Basil Prosperi caters throughout the skywalk.
