The food is good, but the service is really phenomenal. Christine at the bar, was the most thoughtful, friendly, accommodating server! I couldn't make a decision on wine- she suggested the wine flight- and it was the perfect solution. I had the butternut squash ravioli- it tasted very fresh. Huge ravioli with pistachios, oil and squash garnish. I feel a lot of people would really enjoy it, it just wasn't my jam that day. I then had the watermelon, cucumber, feta salad which was dope. Watermelon and feta just melted in my mouth. I met two people next to me who were really going hard- nice bottle of wine, in a gorgeous decanter. They devoured primi and secondi. And having chatted with them, they were both super satisfied. So, even though I had a little mismatch on food, I'm still giving 5 stars.

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.

The bread comes out warm and oil for it is awesome. Calamari was good but the batter really took away from the flavor I thought it was too thick. The lamb chops for dinner very very good as well as the seafood dish. Overall had a great experience on their outdoor patio along Columbus Avenue.

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!

Totally worth every penny and a must visit Italian restaurant! The Food experience is too rich and out of the world.
We celebrated our anniversary here; tried their crab ravioli, lobster tail risotto, scallops and wines. One of the best experiences overall and recommend to try it out at least once.

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.

The food here was phenomenal. Ordered the Chef's Tasting and it was an absolutely treat. For people wary on the tasting, don't be. The team there asks what you are in the mood for, preferences on food, allergies, anything you would personally like, etc to tailor the courses to you and your table's preferences. The ambience is great, wine/cocktails solid and the staff friendly. The only complaint would be the wait for the food, but to be honest, the quality of all the dishes countered the one negative. I would gladly wait for quality any day of the week.

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!

Excellent service and amazing food! Did the 5 course Chefs Tasting, and it was some of the best food I've ever eaten. All of the wait staff was super attentive and pleasant to interact with. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an upscale dinner!

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.

Had an amazing time. Everything was fresh and tasty! Alejandro was a great server. Will definitely be returning !!

Everything we ordered was delicious and well presented. Service was friendly and efficient. The Rigatoni Bolognese was exceptional and the claim that it is the best in Boston may be legitimate.
