Phantom Gourmet: Sweet Basil In Needham

NEEDHAM (CBS) - How much would you pay for a perfectly-made plate of fettuccine bolognese, golden juicy chicken Parmesan, and seafood fra diavolo packed to the brim with mussels, clams, and shrimp?

Well, if you're dining at Sweet Basil in Needham, you're gonna pay a whole lot than less than you'd think.

Dave Becker is the man behind the best dining bargain in town, where the pastas are all handmade right in the open kitchen. You don't just feel like you're the help, you feel like you're actually part of the party.

The plates are big, and the value is even bigger. Appetizers average $10, while oversized entrees are just $20. And as for the wine, well that's the best bargain of all, because Sweet Basil is BYOB (bring your own booze).

For more food and fun, watch the Phantom Gourmet every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on myTV 38.
