So we were visiting our crazy cousins in Boston and wanted to play some trivia. We play in Dallas…read moreevery week, so we found this place online and decided to go to keep the noggin active! Upon arrival, found out it is an Italian restaurant....you don't know until you get there! The place was pretty full due to the trivia night! Our server came over and took our drink orders...looked over the menu and they had deep fried, breaded smelts for an appetizer...always wanted to try and did not disappoint...if you don't like sardines you may not want to order...very similar...everyone ordered something different -- I had the baked cod and drank several Blueberry Ales, which were very tasty with seafood. Everyone enjoyed their food. On trivia, we were in 2nd to last place and went all in on bonus question and apparently we were the only team out of 14 that got it right and we WON! The place is fun and energetic and we will come back again next time we are in Boston :)

They generally stick to the classics, but they do them well. All the seafood on the Frutti Di Mare, including the shrimp, calamari, scallops and muscles were tender and really well cooked. The tomato sauce was balanced - not spicy - and topped a nice portion of skinny linguine. You'll want to sop up any extra sauce with one their warm rolls. The interior was redecorated several years ago, but still feels fresh - a little reminiscent of a northern NJ Italian joint. Service was friendly and attentive, and we were very appreciative of the complementary dessert as we celebrated our anniversary.

Gorgeous restaurant, we were easily able to get a seat at the bar. The drinks were amazing! We had…read moreAlmafi Sunset Martinis and Pinot Grigio 10/10. For my Entree, I had Ravioli Vegano. The sauce is made of tomatoes and a ton of veggies, seasoned to perfection. My friends had Pappardelle Bolognese made with egg pasta and butternut squash tortellacci. The serving sizes are great, had left overs for lunch the next day and it still tasted good.

A definite hidden gem. I've been going here off and on for more than 20 years…read more Service is impeccable they fit me in for a reservation when they didn't have time breadsticks are unbelievable. I have the great calamari appetizer had a phenomenal salmon risotto my girlfriend had a short rib pasta meal, and we finished it off with the apple crisp, which was great as well was really a great meal. Overall everything was cooked perfectly. The pasta was fresh. The breadsticks were fresh the fig sauce on the salmon was great so it was the pesto and the asparagus mixed with the risotto.

It was a busy Saturday night when we visited, no reservation so we waited about 25 minutes. The…read morevibes were comfy and the service was hurried but attentive. The food, which is really why you're reading, was very very good - we had perfect salmon, crispy and tasty chicken parm, and solid salads. BUT the meatballs were the star, they were so close to my mom's meatballs that I would probably lose in a taste test between the two. They are the protype that all meatballs should follow, flavorful, Italian-y, and you kept wanting to take another bite. If you do nothing else, get the meatballs and run. Aside from the 5 star meatballs, there were two misses: the garlic bread was basically just cheese (not my thing), and the marinara was too basic and too close to jar sauce. We had a really good meal here, and would go back again any time. You should go too.

We were referred to Sweet Basil by the owner at Bin Ends (a great wine shop in Needham). The place…read morewas very busy, but the staff were very efficient and friendly. I had the 4 cheese Ravioli and my husband ordered the Chicken Parm. Both were very good. They also serve an amazing pesto with bread . It's still making y mouth water. We'll definitely stop again when in town. Sweet asil is BYOB and charge a $5 corkage fee.

Came for dinner and was seated pretty quickly. Cozy, but a bit loud in terms of ambiance. We were…read moreoffered bread and pesto immediately, and while it was pretty good (no nuts, so parm forward and thinner), it wasn't apparent to us until after we looked at the menu that it was $7, not complimentary. It's BYOB, but there's no note about this on their site or menu, nor the $10 corkage fee. Would be helpful to show -somewhere- so people know. Our server was informative about the specials, but needed to be flagged a few times. The food came out piping hot and in big portions. Shrimp scampi was okay and butternut gnocchi was way more heavy cream forward than it led on in the description, we couldn't finish it. Place isn't quite my cup of tea, so won't be going out of my way to return.

I cannot believe how much food came on this delivery. Typical for me I forget to take pictures, but…read moreluckily I waned to show a friend. Check out the fish. Flounder two HUGE pieces and a ton of fries. I requested tartar sauce, it would have been nice to have a small coleslaw, but did come w/ a small salad. chicken cutlet sub came with four pieces of (real) chicken and a huge amount of penne, pasta salad with olives, tomatoes, and fresh broccoli. We also got a tuna sub, which didn't actually get eaten until the next day. I was so full with a lot of food just want to let people know when they're ordering the portions generous! I did also have some requirements and they listen to my notes which is always appreciated. If I had to offer one critique, I would change the tomato sauce on the chicken cutlet to be less chunky and more sauce like it maybe add some olive oil or garlic or something. It wasn't lackluster, but It could've been a smidge better. ( that would have changed you from a 4 star to a 5 star.

Went in to pick up pizza and place hadn't been cleaned who knows how long...dust , webs hanging everywhere... I can't believe owner can't see this or board of health...

I'm sorry but Natick does not have same authentic pizza as Naples, possibly Naples, Florida but perhaps the other Naples. HOWEVER, as a local pizza place, they're truly a hidden gem. We shopped around and Giovanni is the only one who makes them well, right, and fast. Others who I won't name (rhymes with Pizza By Mocco) gave me the worst calzone of my life. It was like biting on an old pancreas. Giovanni's though, damn! One of the best calzones I've ever had! Was it baked or fried? Don't care, it was very crispy and the cheese was so good! To hell with it the marinara, the calzone spoke for itself. Well done Gio

This casual pizza restaurant is an order at the counter place with self serve table seating and seating along the far left wall (TV above). They serve up traditional, specialty and premium thin crust pizzas (12" & 16" pies), pizza calzones, pastas, salads, burgers, salads, wings, kabobs, fish & chips, appetizers, desserts, and cold drinks. They also offer pizza by the slice and a kids menu. The pricing seems fair. They offer takeout and DoorDash delivery. I stopped by Braza Pizzeria & Wings for late evening pizza takeout. The online ordering was already shutdown for the evening, so I ordered at the counter, a 12" The Luxe Pizza ($13.99 plus tax). My pizza was hot & ready in about 12 minutes after ordering. The pizza had a thin rustic crust (slightly chewy) topped with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, onions, fresh mushrooms, real bacon bits and melted mozzarella cheese. I enjoyed half of the hot & fresh Luxe pizza in the shop and enjoyed the rest when I got home. This pizza was a defintely a solid good choice. I would defintely order again from Braza Pizzeria. There are other pizzas on their menu that sound really great including the Amazing Mac & Cheese, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Fajita, and Primavera, just to name a few.
