" Really enjoyed my visit to Basta! The food was exceptional; each plate was crafted beautifully. I had the rotolo which was creamy and savory combined - the best pasta! The ambiance is vibrant yet inviting. Wondering about portion sizes? I thought they were reasonable given the price point. The service was warm and attentive too. I shall return and do recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basta is a must-visit in Boulder, especially for those who appreciate genuine Italian cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and dishes are elegantly presented. I had the rigatoni bolognese which was rich and satisfying. The only downside was the noise levels during peak hours; it can get a bit loud, but the lively atmosphere is worth it. Don't skip the desserts either, they are small but heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Basta on a whim while in Boulder, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I went with the clam pizza and felt like I was transported to the coast of Italy! It was flavorful and perfectly balanced spice-wise. The atmosphere was delightful, but definitely a little tight. But the authenticity and quality of the food definitely made up for it. I'd recommend Basta to anyone looking for great Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at Basta was generally lovely. I felt the prices were a bit steep for what you get, though. The food was flavorful and fresh, but I wasn't blown away. The dessert was delightful – definitely recommend the donuts! The staff was very accommodating, even when we had some specific requests. I might return, but perhaps during a special occasion rather than a regular visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Basta is such a gem! My friends and I decided to celebrate a birthday here, and everything from the food to the cocktails was stellar. The burrata and pizza were definite highlights. The attention to detail regarding flavors is remarkable. One suggestion, perhaps they could offer a few more non-alcoholic drink options for those who don't drink. Overall, fantastic experience and lovely decor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Basta! The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The interior is stylish yet cozy. We shared the smoked olives and burrata for starters, and wow, they were fantastic! Our mains were the half chicken and wood-fired pizza. There were plenty of other pizzas to try, but we were completely satisfied! Will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food and service were both excellent at Basta. The ambiance struck a great balance between trendy and cozy, and the cocktails were a nice touch. I ate the caesar salad followed by the pasta special, and both were on point. I appreciated the local sourcing of ingredients, they added an authentic touch. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
