Please note, our outdoor dining is seated on a first come, first served basis. We do not reserve tables on the patio; we apologize for any inconvenience.

For 30 years, locals have become regulars and traveling foodies have raved. What can we say? We are flattered, grateful and more than ever, determined to exceed your expectations. For this reason we recently underwent a comprehensive renovation, updating and upgrading every facet of our restaurant, from design and equipment to menu and energy. We are so proud of the result and we know you are going to love it.

We invite you to join us to experience Basta for yourself. Our locally sourced, internationally influenced menu, AVPN Certified Neapolitan pizzas and robust wine offering will combine to create an unforgettable experience for you and your friends or family.

We look forward to serving you soon!

    The food was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Someone in our party is gluten free and she was extremely mindful and attention to detail regarding the option and delivery of the food

    I find your prices to high, $30.00 for veal and a tiny dish of pasta. Place was extremely noisy and my party was seated in that cubicle to the right. Also, you to put some lite desserts on the menu. I found what were listed were heavy, cake, cheesecake, flourless cake, etc.

    Basta has been a great every time, this past visit was not up to standard. The server was extremely slow and unattractive, which is not the first time. My husband’s food was not done as requested, the server gave the wrong order. The drinks were great. We will wait a while to return.
