What an awful dining experience. The winner of the show was Pesto and bread. The shrimp scampi looked like soup and was flavorless, the Brussel sprout way overspiced and burned, the the basil marinara with meatballs was acidic gloppy and the meatballs huge and flavorless. Chicken farm was really overcooked. Really sad...especially since the food at their Needham location is much better.

We ordered the Eggplant Involtini starter, two entrees--Braised Chicken over Casarecce and Seafood Fra Diavlo; and the Citrus Olive Oil cake). The dishes were delicious and well-prepared. Servings were generously sized. Our server(s) were attentive and the kitchen satisfied our request for no additional salt. We were seated in the back half of the restaurant where it was quieter so it was easy to have a conversation without raising our voices. The music was not loud or distracting. We look forward to future meals at Sweet Basil in Waltham.

We arrived before our reservation, but there was no problem being seated. The notes was friendly and knowledgeable and the waitress was very good, too. We unfortunately over-ordered, but that should be our worst mistake, so we all had leftovers to take home. We’ll be back, but maybe this time our eyes won’t be bigger than our stomachs!
