Once again, Basta is fantastic. An "intern" waitress was our service for a table of four. We quickly "dismissed" her trainer, as... this young woman had it right: knowledgable, personable with just the right amount of attention. We had a variety food, usualBasta high quality: beet salad, hanger steak, pizza and more. Martinis and good wine: reasonable. Can be busy and slightlynoisy. Read more

We came into town late on a Wednesday night and they got us in 15 minutes before closing. Service was great, atmosphere was... nice, and we all ordered pizzas which were delicious. Crust was a little thicker than I like but the leopard spotting,crispness and open crumb with a hint of sourdough was very satisfying. We had a daily special pizza with sun dried tomatoes,artichokes, and a honey oil that was absolutely amazing. The rest of the menu looks very good and we will definitely need tocome back. Read more
Went here on a date night years ago and revisited again with friends a couple weeks ago and wow, it did not disappoint. The... atmosphere is super moody and relaxing and the menu has excellent selections without being an overwhelming amount of options.Our table shared the burrata which we devoured and I ordered the bolognese. They must make their noodles in house because theyare cooked perfectly and have the right chewy bite. Great place to go for a date night or a small group! Read more
Love this place! The food is so good! I love the butternut squash ravioli! Yum! Our table also had the Brussels sprouts for an... appetizer and they were delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. Read more
