Basil Leaf Restaurant

Upon arriving we were greeted by a welcoming hostess, our friendly and attentive server Candace was available quickly and checked our table frequently. The food is absolutely some of the best Italian quisine we've had anywhere. Everything was prepared and presented perfectly, portions were ideal, and the value is quite reasonable. Corn chowder with bacon, the day's soup, was ideal in flavor and consistancy. Lasagna will please the most picky connoisseur. We look forward to returning to sample other tempting menu offerings - no doubt everything here will be wonderful. A delightful find, with management who clearly value customer service and quality, which makes this an outstanding choice for dining.

Passing through Syracuse: My first time visiting this restaurant. My sister and I enjoyed a meal together. She had chicken Marsala but complained that the sauce was too runny. I had the stuffed tortellini and it was delicious. Overall, quite happy with our meal and the service. The employees sitting at a table by the exit and talking unkindly about another employee was very unprofessional. I sat beside the door waiting for sister to come out of the bathroom and it didn’t phase them, they spoke freely and frankly about what they thought of their coworkers- must be a rough place to work.

Wonderful dining experience. The food was excellent, I had chicken piccata and my husband had the chicken parm and both dishes were delicious. Our waitress, Candace, was great. She timed our meal perfectly so we could enjoy our wine and we never felt rushed. The chocolate molten cake was to die for. We will definitely be regulars at this restaurant. Just want to add we’re from Brooklyn and my husband is Italian so we know the real deal and this is it!! You will not be disappointed.

When we walked in we noticed the ceiling was in need of repair so that sort of worried me. The bar is very unique looking so that eased my concern. Our waitess was very accommodating and bubbly. Loved her. The busing our table between courses was efficient. Food was good. I'd go back to try more choices there are so many that sound amazing. With 2 appetizers and 2 meals it was $80. We found to be very reasonable.
