Honestly this was one of the best food and service I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and big portions and everything wowd me. I’m a foodie and was soo impressed. The zucchini pronto app and artichoke were amazing! Wine priced reasonably for Columbus and everything just soo good. Our server was on top of everything and everything came out fast in the way you want it. I’m soo impressed. This is my new favorite restaurant! I can’t wait to come back! What a gem! Also lots of delicious vegetarian options. Soooo good.

Such a cute hidden gem. Very intimate setting & a great place to bring a date or family/friends. Service was really outstanding and we felt welcomed and tended to through and through. Mussels were great, though heavy on the tomato-side. Not bad, just something to note. We will def be back! Make sure you make a reservation to ensure a table. Beet salad isn’t something we would typically order but it was delicious! I also had the French onion soup - perfect for a chilly fall evening!!!

What A great neighborhood restaurant with a beautiful covered patio space in the back. The complimentary bread service to start with was phenomenal. We shared five appetizers - mussels, artichoke carpaccio, zucchini, Parmesan brûlée, caesar salad - and they were all great. Everyone loved their pastas, while I went with the lamb chops which were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend Basi Italian!

Wonderful evening! Its been 20 years, but Basi still exceeds all expectations. MJ provided fabulous service. The Parmesan brulee was decadent, though you will need more crostinis. The lamb and eggplant parm were amazing. The special was a pork chop. It was a bit dry, but the mashed potatoes with fennel made up for it. I highly recommend the sangria, especially paired with the patio and people watching. I will not wait another 20 years til my next visit.

We had an awesome experience at Basi Italia! The atmosphere is truly so dreamy out on the patio, the service is really great and food comes out fast- their dishes are playful with truly fantastic flavors! I will say that I think if they were able to make their pasta fresh from scratch in house, that would definitely bring their pasta game to the next level- overall, a neighborhood gem!
