    Pizza

    Pizza dough needs salt, pizza sauce is bland, needs flavor, dough is too doughy needs a lil more time in oven.

    New owners. They have Jim's recipes. Their side today was what you'd expect of Sweet Basil's. Delicious. Floppy. Flavorful. Soft. Perfect. I wrote this half way through my slice. I got to the crust, it is very thin now. I loved the thick soft almost bagel like crust. But the slice was still delicious. They plan to experiment with their recipes as they are from another pizza place. So once they start that, I'll be back to compare. If you like a certain item make sure to voice your opinion to them. Give them feedback.

    The pizza is delicious! It has a really undercarriage, strong and a really good crunch. The service was quick and friendly. It is a small and cute local pizza shop. We got the lunch special which includes two slices of pizza and a drink for $7.99!

    I am a Jim recipe purist of sweet basils pizza. As of right now sweet basil is now under new management. At present, the original pizza that people knew sweet basil for, is sadly gone. The bread is not nearly as sweet, the cheese and pepperoni taste different. The bread/crust were surprisingly soft, so kudos to the new team for that. I tried the pizza DAYS after new management took over, and that pizza tasted like bland dominoes pizza. I'm excited to say it's much better, but still lacking that signature sweet basil taste. I'm not sure anyone will ever taste the same signature Jim's Sweet Basil pizza again, but I'm surprised to admit that I will be supporting you guys until I can taste improvement and something resembling a unique delicious flavor. I'm a company man. Good luck to the new management and team, maybe I'll update in. Another couple months. Much love to you.

    The Sweet Basil pizza with chicken was amazing! The ingredients were fresh and delicious. The antipasto salad and caesar salads were fresh and the portions were generous. An excellent value!!! The associate was friendly and the service was excellent.

    Hours on Yelp were updated 3 months ago and says will be open at 10 am. I'm here & they're closed?

    Do they deliver?

    No, they do not.

    How is the chicken, not the wings but the whole chicken? I love broasted chicken but want to make sure it's actually broasted.

    Hi Lorrie, our whole chicken is our second best selling item following our pizza. We cook our chicken in a pressure cooker to a golden brown. The chicken comes out moist surrounded with a slight to medium crisp.

    All the reviews raving about the service here are spot on. Fantastic service, from the owner down…read moreto the guys who brought us drinks. But we really came here because of what we heard about the food, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely make a reservation if you are going on the weekend. We got there early and were lucky to be seated a little early. It was an outside table so the view of Del Taco was a bit weird given the quality of food but just need to ignore that. I don't remember the names of the items we ordered but they were all great. Calamari and beef carpaccio for starters, as well as a crab bisque. The mains were the sausage and black truffle pasta (our favorite), lobster pasta, and scallops and squid ink. Tiramisu for dessert, and they also gave us a refreshing spritzer type of drink. Can't remember the name but it's apparently derived from grapes. Definitely not cheap if you get the specials which the three pastas above are, but we really enjoyed it and plan to return again soon.

    Upon entering the restaurant the warm welcome our party of four received prepared us for what we…read moreexpected to be an exceptional dining experience. Based on the five-star reviews, I felt I was making the best choice for dinner with my brother and his wife up fom Palm Springs for an event in Duarte. The pleasant, personable atitude from all involved in our dining experience leaves me reluctant to leave this review - however, I feel it important to point out the service and food issues that made this visit a less than optimal one. If the issues were limied to just one, or maybe two, I would not have bothered to mention them. However, a litany of small issues can compound to a point where one has to question their choice, especially when the establishment promises a refined, upscale dining experience. It started with the first course, wIth.my wie and I being served the wrong salad. We did not make any mention of this, as the waiter was kind enough to divide the salad into two portions, and we did not want to hold up the rest of the party. Then my brothers' dish, ("Grandma's" meatballs with meat sauce, I believe), ordered with rigatoni, was delivered - but with spaghetti instead of the requested rigatoni. Now this should not be a big deal, as the dish should be quickly replaced with an apology. No, the waiter was resistant, had to check his notes. At the table, where all of us heard the order specify rigatoni. He left(presumably to get permission), finally returning to reluctantly take the dish for replacement. Really? At an upscale restaurant? To his credit the waiter did bring a small portion of a very good crab bisque so my brother could join the rest of us as we ate and he waited. Then it was the little things - refills of iced tea and coffee never offered. Ground pepper and parmesan cheese(needed for the rather bland pesto) never offered, had to ask. And that pesto sauce - pine nuts? Where? That dish - as well as my wife's Ala Checca and my bro's aforementioned dish, all ok, if rather bland, missing that something to make the dishes 'pop'. Oh, and the afterdinner apertif mentioned in other reviews? Not to be. I realize I am risking the wrath of the owner with my review, but I do not believe any of my expectations are unreasonable for a restaurant that boasts of offering a high end dining experience, at a high end price. . and a customer should never be made to feel guilt for pointing out a mistake. A generous four stars for the bread and marinara, the crab bisque, the tasty wines, and the cheerful welcome.

The chicken on the Alfredo was so well cooked and juicy, the meatballs were tender and flavorful. The side salad is just a pile of iceberg and 4 cherry tomatoes which was a bit disappointing but the dressing (not sure if house made) was delicious. The portion size of one order of mozz sticks is wild. Honestly this place is going to be on my weeknight takeaway rotation.

    Overall 4 stars, but I see 5 star potential as I explore more of the menu during future visits…read more I liked the service we received. Our server was a young man named Courage, and I appreciated his patience and good manners. The host at the front counter was pleasant to interact with as well. The food was good overall, but somewhat hit or miss. We tried the 40z Florentine T-Bone Steak for Two (ordered medium), and found it to be acceptable overall - some portions seemed closer to medium rare, while other sections seemed well done. I'm no expert on steaks, and my limited understanding is that a steak this massive can show variation in Doneness, so please disregard this observation if you believe it to be unduly critical. I plan to return and sample the other steaks (and dishes) at this eatery, I get the feeling I will probably find them to be more to my liking. Of note is the restaurant's (current) novel menu pricing model - their steaks (and a few other items from what I remember) are 50% off their listed price every day except for "holidays and special occasions" (or something along those lines). I would consider this dynamic pricing model better than restaurants who mark *up* their listed prices during select days of the year (e.g. Valentine's Day). The parking lot is on the small side, but we were fortunately able to secure a space during our visit. The chimichurri that accompanies the steak is a bit on the noticeably spicy side.

Unfortunately this updated review is not of the same caliber as what we are used to at OSF. We came to Duarte this time because we have relatives visiting and it was a closer location to them. However because we were a party of 12, our service and experience was sub par. Our server David was overwhelmed with our large party. As our orders were correct but we had some issues and it was hard to get someone to help us to rectify it because he had other tables he was attending to. I had a total of two ice teas because I couldn't get anyone to refill it. David was nice but with a large party and still had to take care of other tables, our service was affected. My salad that was served to me was watery. Not that it has anything to do with our server, but who ever prepared the salad did not make sure it was properly drained of any water. Again, I couldn't swap it out because by the time David came back to our table, I would have had to wait for a while and our entrees came out shortly after our salads were served to us. We are regular patrons of the old spaghetti factory and are very familiar with how the service is, unfortunately I feel this visit was below par and again, not really any fault of our server David. Maybe we are just do used to going to Fullerton, because the other issues we had here is I called to make reservations because of our large party of 12. The hostess I spoke to said they don't take reservations for the day of. I explained to the hostess that we never had that issue when we would make reservations even for the same day at the Fullerton location. I asked her if different locations have different policies and she was unable to answer me. I also asked, why does the website allow me to make a same day reservation using the Open Table site or phone app. She said if it lets you then do that. That did not make sense to me. If the website allows me, then she should be able to over the phone as well. I just hope that things will be different at our regular OSF Location of Fullerton.

    Dear yelp friends:…read more Please read my previous reviews and you'll get the skinny on Aldolinos. The food, ambiance, and service have been consistent over the last dozen years or so I've been frequenting. Although they don't have a Sunday brunch anymore, the full bar is amazing and gives the restaurant a refined, sophisticated, quality. While some Italian restaurants are as cheesy as garlic bread, Aldolinos is classy, not trashy. In the corner of the Oak Tree shopping center, you might not think to stop by, but that would be a mistake. Daily specials; happy hour appetizers & libations; consistent food and service make this an easy choice for me in the Azusa area. I have a secret, but it's just between you and me: They have a party trailer to take to events (I'm going to hire them for my next 40th birthday party)!

I like the dividers that give you a bit of privacy and cut down on conversational noise from other tables. The first thing we notice and LOVED was the old school mellow Italian standards they were playing. Yes! Very relaxing and set the mood. We would have sat in the bar, but there was a large group scheduled in there, so we sat in the dining room. Next time we'll try the bar room. The things that stood out were their delicious, rich sauces. The flavors were spot on. They cook their pasta perfect to my family's taste, with a bite (al dente), but done enough that it's not chewy or floury. Fair prices. And yummy desserts. We really enjoyed the tasty Crab Cake app. We all liked our pasta, particularly me, who had the Mushroom Ravioli with the same sauce that comes on the Beef and Mushroom Ravioli. I think there was a Mushroom Ravioli special with a different sauce, but they did it with the sauce I really wanted to try, which was much appreciated! We enjoyed the Spumoni pie--Spumoni ice cream with a graham cracker(?) pie crust. They also made us a traditional Affogato, because that's what my dad likes. But I want to try their version next time. I'm really excited to go back and try their pizza. We'll get one with sausage, since the sausage on my dad's pasta was really outstanding. I also want to try their Caesar Salad. Looking forward to my next visit!
