The name might lead you to think it's a Thai restaurant, but Sweet Basil is Italian. The service is friendly, the vibe is hip and the food is revered. Be prepared to wait, as the space is on the small side, and reservations aren't taken. Along with classics like four-cheese ravioli and chicken parmesan, the restaurant turns out unexpected dishes including beet fettuccine with succotash and knife-and-fork Sloppy Joe with mushrooms.
