Sweet Basil On Moody - Waltham

I highly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding food. The baked beet rigatoni was exceptional and truly unlike anything I’ve ever had before.

The experience was mediocre. There are definitely better options out there.

My bucatini pasta was great with pasta cooked Al dente and a sauce that was flavorful with a good balance of chunky tomatoes and bits of meat (not ground beef). The ambiance is casual, comfortable and under-stated.

Food was good, service was good. No wow factor. We decided to try something new and have always enjoyed the sister restaurant in Wellesley “Juniper”. Wife had lamb shank and it was fall off the bone tender. I had chicken parm. More chunks of tomato than pasta. Parm was cooked perfect. Calamari app with spicy vodka sauce was good. Overall We wouldn't go out of our way to go back. We enjoy Juniper much more.

As always the food was delicious and the service was excellent!
