We came in to eat for dinner. We waited 30 plus minutes just for our appetizers to get out, and had finished the appetizers long before our dinner hit the table. The servers and bussers were all very kind, however, my friend waited about 20-30 minutes for a refill on her water glass. The food wasn’t the worst, but I do not think it is worth the price at all.

Very expensive ...took cake to go..opened the box to find the smallest piece of cake..looked like a half of a piece..total $100 for 2 people

As others have commented, yes it is a "hidden gem" in Big Bear. We were in the mood for Italian food while in town and looked this restaurant up. It got good reviews so we gave it a chance. Wow, were we surprised! The food, service and ambience was great. It was delicious food and very fresh. We can't wait to go back when in BB and highly recommend this to others.

Found metal in my soup and it was difficult to track someone down. We never received the beverages we ordered. We were the only people in the restaurant. Very disappointing.

Surprising gem in inconspicuous location. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and professional. The food was delicious and nicely presented.The restaurant is small and cozy in a european urban way.

Always a must when we are in Big Bear. We prefer over other Italian spots in the village because of the high quality of food and consistently great service. Don't snooze on Sweet Basil and be sure to make a reservation.

From appetizers to desserts, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was very well handled. I appreciate the team for putting together such a good experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.”

Very very delicious food. Many options to choose. Big portions. And definitely a 5 star restaurant.

The food was mediocre. We had a mushroom soup that was very salty. Everything else was just ok. The server was very nice.
