" Loved the atmosphere at Basil! The outdoor patio was fragrant with herbs and overall a great vibe. We enjoyed the antipasti platter, which had a variety of delectable items that felt fresh and flavorful. I also had the butternut squash ravioli, perfectly cooked and deliciously sweet. Service was attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you're in the area; it truly embodies the spirit of Italian dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was brought here by a friend who raved about the brunch options. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed. The dishes felt more American than Italian; my eggs benedict had very little Italian influence, and the portion was on the small side. However, the ambiance was nice, and our server was friendly and attentive. Maybe it’s better for dinner service? I'll give it another chance, but I expected more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with my friends last night and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. I tried the gnocchi and it was buttery and rich, but I wish the portions were larger for the price. The overall experience was pleasant, and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I likely would come back to try more dishes since I feel the potential is there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at Basil was lovely. We had a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The dishes appeared fresh and well-prepared, but for the price, the portion sizes could’ve been more generous. The service was friendly, though not very quick, especially on a busy night. Nonetheless, we had a great overall experience and enjoyed our visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Basil and was let down by the service. While the food was decent, with some items showcasing authentic flavors, it seemed like the staff were overwhelmed and not very attentive. I waited too long for my pasta order and, when it arrived, it was lukewarm. The ambiance was nice but it couldn't save the experience. I might consider trying again during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our meal at Basil! The highlight was definitely the grilled calamari, which was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed some excellent wine recommendations from our server. The entire staff seemed passionate about what they served, making our dining experience feel special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and nice service. Will return on our next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basil is a hidden gem in Carmel! I loved the outdoor seating and the vibrant atmosphere. The pizzas we ordered were loaded with fresh ingredients, and the flavor was just what I was looking for. Service was prompt and friendly. I would totally recommend this place to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
