Where it is

Get directions

Basil & Bourbon is an Italian restaurant in the Okatie Center at 198 Okatie Village Drive, on US 278 just outside the gates of Sun City Hilton Head. If you knew it as Nonna Rosa in Bluffton, it is the same address: new owners took it over and renamed it, and it still serves Italian dinners.

Basil & Bourbon Menu

Basil & Bourbon is open for dinner. The menu centers on Italian food.

What to Order

The menu runs from classic pastas, among them Bolognese, carbonara, pappardelle Alfredo and spaghetti with mussels, to eggplant, chicken or veal parmigiana, chicken piccata and Marsala, shrimp scampi and bourbon-glazed lamb chops. Starters include burrata, bruschetta, fried calamari and eggplant rollatini, and there is a kids’ menu. Diners single out the Bolognese, the chicken parmigiana and the bourbon cocktails. The full menu is on this page.

Hours and Booking

Dinner is served from 4 p.m. every night, until 9 p.m. on Sunday and Monday and until 10 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Tables can be booked online or by phone at (843) 707-1750, and the restaurant also does takeout, delivery and catering. There is outdoor seating.

Because it sits outside the gates, you don’t need a Sun City visitor pass. The two restaurants inside the community, Jameson’s Charhouse Sun City and The Clubhouse at Okatie Creek, are a few minutes away. Sun City Hilton Head restaurants has them all, and our Italian restaurants guide covers Hilton Head.
