The Sweet Basil Tully Reviews
Great place! Food was fantastic and large amounts! The people are very friendly.
Food is very good Nice variety of American and Italian food on the menu reasonably priced... Service was quick and with a smile......
The variety of food is excellent. The price of the food is fair.... Sitting outside was fantastic. Went with Ten of our best friends and everyone had a great meal and a good time.
Very nice sit down restaurant. Service was good. Portions were large. Chicken parmesan was two breaded chicken breasts over pasta. Broiled fish platter was fresh. Ended the night with a slice of carrot cake and a lemon marscapone cake with berries. Delicious. Large fish tank for entertainment.
Stopped in and ordered a Philly cheese with shaved ribeye. The sandwich was very good as was the service.
Ordered a pepperoni calzone to go today 5-21-25. Was sooooo good and the staff were awesome. Those who complained about the food here probably aren't happy anywhere. I'm only 12 miles away and don't go often enough 😁
We’ve been ordering the Friday fish fry for pick up for the past several weeks. This is a delicious fish dinner with choice of fries or Mac n cheese. We order one of each and split it between 3 of us and it’s the perfect size nor my and my parents. I wish I could add pictures but we dig in to our to go order so quick that I never get to take one.
Well to start its just off the highway and is such a nice small place! the patio with a cool breeze cannot be beat! the service is great! and super friendly and homey. they do run out of ingredients BUT thats because they use local fresh foods so you can be happy knowing you are spending your money in a good place. the food wasn’t to die for, but still really good! would return just for the vibes alone!
First time here. Was a very pleasant surprise ! Menu had something for everyone. Table next to us was on 2nd visit and was traveling back again as they had loved the food. We got tater tot app was very good. Will try Italian nachos next time and wings...huge! Also had a calzone and Mediterranean pizza that was so flavored it was inexplanable! Service was great and prices right where they should be. Highly recommend stopping here on your travels. This will definitely be a new go to when traveling to Syracuse! Thank you!
When In Tully, our place to get a good meal. The shrimp riggies are the best around and my go to eats every time. Plus it’s always a bonus to sit outside on their large front porch.
We ordered our food To-Go from The Sweet Basil because of the pandemic, it all traveled really well. Our order included the chicken parmesan (which comes on a bed of angel hair pasta) corn beef reuben’s and sweet potato fries. The chicken was moist and delicious as were the sandwiches. We definitely will return.
Great beer selection and delicious, fresh cuisine! Their beef burgers and black bean veggie burgers are delightful! I got the patty melt with a black bean veggie patty (pictured) and a Maine Beer Co. Lunch IPA.
Pizza was average. I liked the beer list and great seating outside. Live music was wonderful.
Ordered pizza, and it was good. Service was good as well. Parking is the only thing I'm not crazy about, but there is a small lot out back with access to the restaurant from the rear.
The food was okay. I had the Chicksn Riggies and my wife had the Kickin Chicken. My wife liked hers but mine was super bland. It wasn't very spicy and it needed some fresh herbs or chicken thighs instead of breast meat. Just not a lot of flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly though. It looked clean in the dining room and the service was okay. When we got there, it was about 25% full and never got super busy but we were told they didnt a have a normal table so they sat us at the tiniest little pub table I've ever seen. It was a game of Tetris trying to get our meals and drinks puzzled togther on it which was annoying. They had a huge salt water aquarium. With some beautiful fish and corals which was nice. Might go again to try another dish.
My pecan salad was delicious,. And portion sizes were great. However, my mother was disappointed with her spaghetti and meatballs. The garlic in the sauce was too over powering for her taste. The wait could have been a little more attentive. We did enjoy sitting next to the fish tank. Very soothing after a stressful day.
I usually like everything here till today. Got a ribeye that was the smalls thing I have seen for $42 . Then there was the steak salad that was a plate full of lettuce with a small piece of steak. And to top it off neither one was cooked right.
Been driving past this joint for years and a month ago we stopped in for dinner. NY Style pizza came out amazing. Similar in thickness to Twin Trees with loads of pepperoni but in a 20" pie! One of the best pizza experiences of my life. The next visit the dough was 3/4" thick and awful. Tonight we ordered a pickup pizza and even stressed we wanted their thin NY Style pizza. Nope, not tonight. I might as well have ordered DiGiorno. The great service and great atmosphere goes right out the window when the quality control doesnt exist. So sad. I want that first pizza again and again and again...
Edit again 2/26/22 I ordered a greek pizza online and as always, put instructions to replace the kalamata with black olives. It wasn't done this time and I hate kalamata olives.. there was MAYBE 6 cherry tomato halves on the entire pizza, and zero artichoke hearts. I even lifted up the cheese to see if it was underneath. It's like they don't even care, because they clearly don't read these reviews. The wings had zero sauce of any kind and were dry. And they really need to update the website. Incorrect prices, and items on there they no longer have. Pretty much done with this place. Too expensive to not get what I ordered. Edit: I have ordered a few more times. Still on the pricey side, but the pizzas are huge and the wings are good. Friendly staff from my experience. Food was ok, but we were way overcharged. Their menu prices were not the same as online. Spent about $15 more than we should've. Not returning
As a resident of Tully, we order from here once a week at least. The pizza has gone back to being terrible It looks like they are back to using pizza crust shells instead of fresh dough. There is no love at all put into their pizzas. Do not order. The pizzas were terrible four years ago when we first moved in to town and started getting them and then something changed. They started being awesome and tasty. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAVE GONE BACKWARDS NO TASTE. THE DOUGH IS TERRIBLE. IT’S NOT EVEN DOUGH. IT’S A PIZZA SHELL AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LOVE BEING PUT IN. TO THE MAKING OF THE PIZZAS. DO NOT BUY. 7/16/25
