Basile - Fine Italian Kitchen

I really enjoyed my dinner at Basile. We went for date night. Our reservation was for 6 pm on a Saturday night. We got there a few minutes early, gave our name, and were seated right away. Our waiter came right over and took our drink order. He was very pleasant and attentive the whole dinner. I thought the service was great. I loved the atmosphere. It was pretty quiet despite being mostly full, with light instrumental music playing in the background and a live saxophonist. The decor was modern and elegant. Sheer panels drape from the ceiling, providing some dramatic effect and romance. The kitchen is semi open to the dining room, and staff hover attentively. I loved that the overall dinner wasn't rushed. Drinks and bread were brought and enjoyed before our dinner came. Both dishes were aestheticly pleasing. My partner got the cioppino, and I got the Indian fusion massala ravioli. He raved about his dish. I did like mine as well, although I felt it could've used a little more spiciness. We enjoyed another drink and then ordered the dessert platter, which, if you have a sweet tooth, is a MUST. I highly recommend the amaretto espresso as well. This restaurant was pricier than I could usually afford, but the experience of a quiet, enjoyable date night was worth it.

Where do I start running late to our reservation due to getting lost in the city. We get to the restaurant and almost aren't able to sit because of the kitchen closing and then Sergio came to the rescue. He understood our situation being from out of town and sat us and we were able to order and enjoy. The ambiance table setting plate setting wine selection and food section were all amazing. A wonderful place for parties events eating alone and having a romantic dinner. The staff is more than helpful and enjoy and enjoy helping you with your dining experience. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone that would like some fine Italian dining with an authentic feel. Thank you Eva and I believe Sergio (manager) for the great time and experience and amazing night!

In town for business and stopped by on a Saturday night hoping there would be a table. They accommodated me but also the bar opened up and I sat there. The bartender Kristine was very nice and attentive. Food and drinks were great.

I am so happy that I finally decided to eat here! After about a year of walking by, my husband and I dined on their patio (heat lamps were great) and had an amazing meal. We both had the chef’s tasting and the wine flight. The wine flight in particular was a great bargain! The food itself was simply delicious and the right balance of traditional vs. modern Italian. In particular, the tikka masala raviolis, steak, and fish were tasty and cooked to perfection. Additionally, our servers were extremely attentive and friendly - bonus points that you will likely over hear them conversing casually amongst themselves in Italian. Overall, we will be back! And if you’ve been waiting to give it a try, I highly recommend it…my only regret is that we didn’t try it sooner!

I'm giving this place 5 stars because the food was amazing (although the wait was pretty long), and even though they messed up my dessert order, they were very apologetic and immediately gave me a new one. I went here in phase 1 of reopening in Boston and it seemed pretty compliant of social distancing. They claim that they have the "best" outdoor patio in Boston, I'm not sure I would say that, but the food definitely would be worth going again.
