" I've heard so much hype about Basta, and I have to say, it lived up to it! I visited with friends and we enjoyed a tasting menu which included a variety of dishes. The standout was definitely the clam pizza – it's unlike anything I've tried before. The flavors were deliciously unique! Plus, the staff really knew their stuff when it came to wine pairings. My only wish is that the wait time for a table wasn't so long, but it speaks to how popular the place is! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Basta after hearing all the buzz, and I'm pleased to say it did not disappoint! The dishes were flavorful and genuinely Italian. The burrata was a delightful opener, and the half chicken was perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that we had to wait a little longer than expected for our meal, but the staff handled it gracefully. I'll be back for sure to try their other menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basta blew me away! The wood-fired pizzas were heavenly - I had the pepperoni and could taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was top-notch – our server was really knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. The cherry on top was the complimentary dessert they offered us for my birthday, which made the night feel extra special. Highly recommend this place for a night out or a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Basta after hearing all the rave reviews. I had the burrata followed by the clam pizza, and I must say, they did not disappoint! The flavors were creatively combined and each dish tasted truly authentic. My significant other had the lasagna, which was also excellent. I’m looking forward to my next visit to explore more options on their menu. Service was also quite friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience at Basta! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I ordered the chef's special, which was a delightful surprise of flavors. Also, the pizza is unmissable - it caught me by surprise with its quality. Service was polished and respectful, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. " (*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*)
