" I had high hopes for Basso after hearing so much praise, but the experience fell flat. The atmosphere was nice, and the service started off well, but it took far too long for our meals to arrive. When my fettuccine alfredo came out, it tasted more like a pre-packaged sauce than something homemade. The shrimp were decent, but definitely not worth $5 each. I might consider returning, but only if I hear better things about the dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a phenomenal find. From the moment we arrived, I felt welcomed. The staff was friendly, and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We tried a variety of dishes, including the lasagna and seafood pasta. Both dishes were crafted with such care and authenticity. However, I would suggest making a reservation as it tends to fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Overall, highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Basso was a decision that didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is cozy and sets a nice tone for an intimate dining experience. From amusing ourselves with the drink menu to diving into the heart of Italian cuisine, I can honestly say this is a place that I would highly recommend for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is hidden treasure for authentic Italian food. The owner’s passion for food shines through the detail in the sauces. The seafood dishes are highly recommended—they are so fresh! The eggplant rollatini was a pleasant surprise as it had vibrant flavors. My only complaint was the wait time for food, but it was obviously worth it in the end. Can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a cozy Italian dining experience, Basso is worth your time. The staff was friendly and suggested some great appetizers. The food was delicious, but I personally found the portions to be just slightly smaller than I expected. Still, a good choice for Italian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Basso is absolutely a gem in the Poconos! I was blown away by the taste of everything from the bread to the calamari. The homemade dipping sauce for the bread was full of flavor, and the calamari was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My main dish, the linguine with clams, was something I'd expect from a top-tier restaurant in Italy. The portions are ideal, leaving me satisfied but not overstuffed. Definitely going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at Basso with friends last week. The appetizers were fantastic, especially the stuffed mushrooms! However, my chicken dish was overcooked; the flavors were still commendable. The ambiance was cozy and pleasing. I would still recommend this place as I believe they usually deliver a memorable experience. " (*Curated Review*)
