" Fantastic family dinner experience! We ordered a ton of different dishes and everything was delicious and well plated. The freshness of the ingredients was apparent, especially in the seafood dishes. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made some great wine pairing suggestions. We also loved the dessert! I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant—definitely a great spot for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to pasta place whenever I’m in NYC. There's nothing like their cheese wheel pasta—a fun experience and so delicious. I’ve tried various other dishes too, and I find the flavors well balanced. The staff is always helpful and friendly, which makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommended for pasta lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent meal here, but I feel the hype is a bit overdone. The fusion of flavors is interesting, but it didn’t wow me. The atmosphere is more casual than I expected, which is fine, but it might not be the place for a fancy celebration. I’d say it’s a good option if you’re looking for something different in the pasta scene, but there are plenty of other places I’d choose first. " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly an exceptional dining experience! The pasta dishes, especially the seafood options, are fresh and well-executed. The ambiance is cozy, with a delightful buzz. I was particularly impressed with how well the service was; my party felt genuinely cared for. Definitely a place I'll be recommending to my friends and returning to myself! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basta Pasta is a must-visit for anyone who loves pasta! The preparation of the dishes is quite the spectacle, especially seeing it done tableside in that cheese wheel. I found the atmosphere to be relaxing and perfect for dinner with friends. My only complaint would be that some dishes could use a bit more seasoning. The service was very attentive, and I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious fusion dishes served in a cozy environment. The tagliatelle with mushrooms and shrimp was fantastic, although I expected the pasta to be even creamier. The staff were polite, but there was a delay in receiving our orders. Still, a lovely way to experience a blend of Italian and Japanese culinary styles. I’d likely suggest this spot to friends looking for something different! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations after hearing friends rave about this restaurant, my visit was a mix of hits and misses. The cheese wheel pasta had an incredible presentation but fell short on flavor. The ambiance was nice and the servers very attentive, yet I felt let down by the food's authenticity. I appreciated the mix of cuisines, but they could ramp up their flavor profiles a bit more. Worth a visit for first-timers, though! " (*Curated Review*)
