MEET THE FAMILY Discover the stories and faces behind the food OUR FAMILY & TEAM PEOPLE OVER PROFITS Many businesses leverage people to help them profit. When we opened, we made a pledge to leverage our profits in order to help people. Even if that means we break even. It's worth it for us to take care of our family, our team, our community , and our planet . CHEF VANNA & chef lo aka mom & dad Sweet Basil started as Mom's dream. We saw them working multiple jobs to provide for our family and they weren't happy. We asked Mom what she wanted to do, where her passions were. She told us she would love to own a restaurant one day. We (her kids) took on multiple jobs working at McDonald's, the kiosk at the mall, doing side gigs. We saved, we made it happen and even overcame a pandemic. Over the years, they've given their all into the restaurant and for our customers. Much of Sweet Basil's authenticity and success comes from their dedication and love that they put into the kitchen. Without them this dream wouldn't exist. CUSTOMER CARE TEAM kyle, josie, mimi, derek & drew We treat our customers like family because that's what you are to us.
