Pasta e Basta is far the best Italian restaurant I have ever tried. Maria was our server, she was amazing, she was nice and helpful. When I walked in the smell of the restaurant had a refreshing scent, the decoration was modern aesthetic and cozy. The bread and olive oil took me back to Europe. We ordered white wine bottle and for anti pasti we ordered meat balls that were delicious. We order gnocchi 4 cheese and papardelle lamb ragu it was amazing. For dessert we had tiramisu and basque cheesecake with espresso ⭐️
Wonderful place to dine. The food was incredible. We ordered the tricolor bruschetta and the meatballs to start. Both delicious, and I especially liked the tomato bruschetta. For the main meal I ordered the duck ragu which was impeccable. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was divine. The wine they recommended was also delicious, perfectly light to match the food. The service was also very professional.
This place deserves the reviews it’s received. We came for lunch and they have a great deal running for lunch, $22 for pasta and dessert and it runs M-F from noon to 3pm. The pasta has one of the freshest taste and the tiramisu was well put together. Will be coming back. Our serve name was Maria and she was excellent! 10/28/2025 review update: second time coming by myself on a Tuesday afternoon. The service was slower and the dessert portion was smaller than the first time. The mezzelune was also proportionally smaller compared to the pasta dishes ordered compared to the previous. Overall the experience is a bit pricey even at the lunch pricing for the amount received.
The food was absolutely delicious. I just got back from Italy and feared I wouldn’t find pasta or tiramisu as good as the one there. Well, I did! I would absolutely recommend having the meatballs as an app & the beef short rib ragu as your main dish. The tiramisu was to die for. Sadly did not get a picture because we finished it before we could think of taking a pic. Mirko was our serving and he was great. He was able to recommend us each the wine we’d like best depending on our taste. Absolutely come back. Thank you Mirko & Pasta e Basta :)
We visited Pasta e Basta yesterday and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt cozy and intimate, yet had this subtle upscale touch that made the whole experience feel special. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to sit back, enjoy your meal slowly, and soak in the atmosphere. We started with the bruschetta, which was good — fresh and nicely seasoned, though nothing particularly memorable. But once the pasta arrived, we were both blown away. You can tell it’s freshly made — tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I had the ravioli with spinach in butter and sage, and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was rich but perfectly balanced, and every bite melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the frutti di mare, which was equally amazing — full of flavor and generous with the seafood. Everything from the food to the service felt thoughtful and well done. If you’re looking for a cozy, refined Italian spot with truly fresh pasta, this place is a must. 🍝✨
