This is not a restaurant review. Instead, this is a story about two beautiful human beings entering into their favorite restaurant and feeling completely taken care of, in a gastronomical sense. In a way, this is a Love story. It 's a Friday evening. The love of my life and I are hungry, and decide to head towards our favorite area to dine. I speak of downtown Needham, MA. It is rife with great establishments geared to satisfy any type of food hunger. We head straight towards one of our favorite restaurants, Sweet Basil. We get near the restaurant and by some miracle, the parking space right out front is available! The universe is clearly smiling upon us tonight. Now, under normal circumstan...
My husband and I have been to the Sweet Basil in Waltham on numerous occasions which is why I 'm able to recommend all of the food that is posted. We went for the first time to the Sweet Basil in Needham and we were equally as plesed. For starters, we had the Pesto with Fresh Bread, and the Garden Vegtable Risotto. . For our entrees, I had Salmon on Cold Orzo Salad with Asparagus and my husband chose the Gluten Free Shrimp Sscampi. This dishes are the creation and expertise of Dave,the owner, and the adjective AMAZING sums up the excellence of every dish and beverage served there. I highly recommend this restaurant. In fact, I 'm taking the book , Sweet Basil, written by the owner. Dave Beck...
I have told EVERYONE about this place I drive by almost every day and finally decided to try it. Hands down my new favorite restaurant. The menu is a bit small, which I like because it's not overwhelming to pick a meal! Verbose enough to crave every flavor profile you're in the mood for. I LOVED that the bread came with a bowl of fresh pesto, and per my friend with a nut allergy, they do not add pine nuts to the pesto so it is safe to consume for any nut allergy people out there! Tatiana provided beyond excellent service. Topping our waters off and coming back frequently with more bread (we ate a lot... The price was perfect for the portion sizes, and the calamari was to die for.
My absolute favorite italian restaurant. Food is all fresh and delicious and the pesto is absolutely delicious. I keep coming back here because service is always great and the bring your own bottle policy is nice. They always let me take some pesto home and are very friendly! Book a table now
This place gets busy! You can bring your own wine and they will uncork it for you. The pesto that they make there is amazing. The rosemary chicken was a hit at our table. I had the vegetarian lasagna which was a bit undercooked. Overall though we had a good experience!
We travel to the Boston area from FL a couple times a year. We always try to eat at Sweet Basil Needham, as the food and service are amazing. The restaurant is small and intimate, but when it's full it is noisy; making it hard to converse.
arguably the best Italian restaurant in Massachusetts. Would go here over any North End restaurant 10/10 times. Everything on the menu is killer Bolognese and Braised Chicken are personal favorites. BYOW!
Great dining experience! Restaurant was comfortable though very busy, and a bit noisy with conversation but that didn't take away from the excellent food and service. Definitely will be back! Book a table now
The service was top notch and the rosemary chicken and bread and pesto was phenomenal. Highly recommend but bring your own wine.
First visit. Very good food, generous portions, and very good service.
