    All 3 of us had really excellent meals: buratta shared app, veal chop, lamb, chicken parm. Generous servings of delicious food. Very attentive, but relaxed service. The live music was a plus. The atmosphere is almost cozy. Anything but modern sterile. Thumbs up!

    The salmon was excellent. You can’t beat their bread and pesto. The mussels were outstanding. Bolognese is top notch. We have long enjoyed this food and will continue to do so. Waltham location is way easier to get in to than Needham! Worth the drive.

    As a party of ten we had a variety of drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Everything was delicious and the portions were large. The service was friendly but not intrusive. The decor was attractive and interesting. The noise level was reasonable even with the restaurant full due to tables being spaced well apart, soft materials used in the decor to absorb sound, and no loud music! All-in-all we were quite pleased with the evening. We'll go back and also recommend it to others.

    We took another couple to Sweet Basil in a Monday night. They were impressed right away by the vibe - arty & chill. They were impressed by the bar - interesting and reasonably priced cocktails & wine. They were especially impressed by the service - one of our guests has severe food allergies. Not only did the server address them head on, but the manager came over to confirm - and best of all, the special dish they made for her was great! Very impressed!
