Basta combines old world charm and fine food preparation. This was our first visit and surely will not be the last. There are at least 10 menu items that need to be enjoyed on future visits. Great clams casino...an item often attempted and poorly completed. I would say that these were a strong second to Loche Ober's in Boston. This... more

We decided to heed the good reviews we read about Basta (which means "enough" in Italian) and tried it on our excursion from Boston to Ct, and boy were the reviewers right. This place is to die for..We tried (upon our waiter Hanks recommendation) their antipasto special which was a polenta with mushroom sauce (I would never had picked this... more

Basta is a regular restaurant for me. I have been going over the years and every time I arrive I swear the food gets better. With every visit is another great meal, along with great service and kind staff. Basta is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Absolutely a MUST go! more

A gem...

I dined here for the first time this past weekend. I was with a large group of 15 and the service was excellent. The menu is large and offers an impressive variety of traditional Italian dishes as well as some interesting variations. Their specials were very impressive and most of our party wound up ordering one of them. I had... more

Have eaten here on several occassions and have never been disappointed. The stuffed veal special is as good a meal as I have had in any restaurant. Overall the food is excellent. Atmosphere is good and the service is very good. more

I'm rarely impressed by Italian food, but Basta is an exception. They've also got great dinner-and-wine deals. more

I lived in the Belmont section of the Bronx - Little Italy - for several years. Basta compares with any of the higher quality restaurants there, and it trumps any restaurant at which I have eaten on Federal Hill. Diverse menu, portions appropriate to price, food always prepared to order. The crank below from Cranston just got it wrong -... more

You will never find any Italian restaurant with the quality, quantity and price that Basta has. I have dined there numerous times and the food is always excellent and fresh tasting. Chuck, Mark and JOhn are always my waiter and they have always treated me and my guests with respect and professionalism. I highly recommend this restaurant. Best nights to... more

Perfect spot for low key night out. Much better than the "Hill". I ordered the Stuffed veal chop and my girlfriend had the shrimp and pasta dish. They were both out of this world and our waiter, Allan was quick and very helpful with picking from the menu since it was our first time. Try It, you'll love it. more
