Sweet Basil - Needham

Love the cozy neighborhood vibe of this place. Food is on point. Also like that we had to bring our own wine, but they should step up their game with ice bucket readiness, etc. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

The calzone was horrible! I really don’t know how people could give this pizza place more the one star! The staff is nice ! Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My boyfriend and I LOVE sweet basil. We get a LOT of takeout (the bolognese is easily the best item on the menu, puts all other bolognese to shame, and is totally big enough to feed the both of us) and it’s our go-to dine-in place for fancy date nights! Everyone is so kind and sweet, it’s not too loud, they’re good with allergies (the complimentary pesto and bread that comes when you sit down is nut-free and beyond delicious), and the food is amazing. 10/10. Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to fish, sesame, and nuts. The pesto is nut free, the breading doesn’t have sesame, I can eat the complimentary bread at the start I’ve never had to edit any dishes to conform to my allergies.

First time getting food from this place. I got the bolognese for takeout, and it was good.

Wonderful Needham Italian spot. Great service. Tatiana is terrific. Love the mussels and chicken parm. Fresh bread with homemade pesto is fantastic. Already looking forward to returning.
