Red, White and Basil

Great Italian food. My wife especially likes the zoodles!

UPDATE- It closed in the very beginning of Nov. 2025. Eden Restaurant is coming in Jan. 2026. Hopefully they will keep some of the same menu ( especially the Zoodles).

To say that staff at red white and basil is patient and kind is an understatement. Multiple individuals in our party were unruly and they handled them with more patience than should be expected. They food was amazing, our server was on point and the entire experience was great.

This is an excellent Italian Trattoria or casual restaurant with authentic food with well sourced ingredients. The homemade sausage is fantastic. The pasta sauces are great. On my first visit I had pumpkin ravioli with autumn vegetables. Very tasty. My husband had a butter and wine reduction with homemade tagliatelle and homemade sausage. We liked it so much that we returned a few nights later with another couple. My eggplant parmesan was spectacular. The service is fantastic, very friendly and receptive. Even though it was a busy Friday night, the staff went out of the way to make sure that we had what we needed. When there was a snafu with one of our orders, the owner graciously comped us for that item. We drank a red Montepulciano that was above and beyond delicious.  I can't recommend this place enough. It's a gem in the middle of West Rehobeth. Well worth a visit, or several! 

When it opened it was our go to for dinner every Friday. Then all went downhill. Past 5 visits in 3 months were horrible. Salty pasta and the worst last night we wanted to share a lasagna and we got a frozen one twice!
We don’t know if it is the turnover of waiters or cooks but we aren’t going back. We will stay with the consistency of TOI down the street.

Tonight was our 2nd time in Red White & Basil!! What a great evening. The staff is just wonderful. Friendly, attentive, very professional & knowledgeable. The restaurant feels like a family gathering spot! Everyone chatting with each other & some having a nice quiet dinner out. It really is a nice place for an evening out.

Now let’s take about the food!! Such wonderful choices. I honestly thought the bakes rigatoni I had the first time I came would be my permanent choice. But I saw the chicken prosciutto! Wow! I never had any dish like this before. It was delicious. Every dish I saw come out of the kitchen looked amazing.

Give it a try. You will really enjoy it!

We were looking forward to eating here...unfortunately it was very disappointing. Will not be back!

Amazing customer service! The best food I have ever had. The cook, put his heart into it, and you can tell through the taste of every dish compliments the chef (Matt)

It was very good!!! However we did wait for our drinks until after the appetizers and soups came out... the restaurant was very quiet, maybe six tables filled and for the drinks to take that slow was a little off putting

Our first time here. We were so pleasantly surprised. The staff could not do enough for us and they let us have a pleasant evening by ourselves too ! Very important to us. Let us have our time but don't ignore us! The food - oh my goodness! So good! If you go - try that homemade sausage! So good. Not overly spicy but I love red pepper flakes! I can make my food as spicy as I want. We will be back!!!

Appetizer and salad cost $35. Salad was about size of a side salad. 3 meatballs $17. Food not bad but cost is out of control.
