Basta Pasta

"It was my third time here, the food still good. But the service hasn’t been fully recovered from pandemic I guess. We wait almost an hour for our pasta, which is unexpected."

"This is a great restaurant, has been around forever, and with very unique food. I had the black pasta and Caesar salad which were both great. I would not listen to any of the negative comments, some people are overly critical and just like to gripe and don't care about doing damage. It has been around forever for a reason cause it's great restaurant and also very friendly."

"We came here for my niece’s 11th birthday. We bought a cake with us to celebrate her birthday. We ordered some pastas and few appetizers, the food was so blend. We all don’t like it. All we can taste it s the salt. It was salty. The ONLY dish that we think is okay was the uni pasta. After the dinner I asked the waiter to bring out the cake, they said they will charge $6 each for our cake, I think it was ridiculous that they charge for cutting the cake for this kind of casual dining restaurant. Most restaurant don’t charge that anymore because of the economy. Anyway I asked the waiter if they can waived the fees, I can just order more dessert to make it up. The waiter asked the chef (or owner?) and they said no. My 11 years old niece was so disappointed that she cannot have her cake. Anyway I will not come back again. Good luck with your business."

"Delicious meal! Every bite was so very tasty! We had the scallop crudo, grilled octopus, and burrata to start. Had the seafood squid ink pasta and risotto as our mains. We were hoping to try their infamous sea urchin pasta but was told it was seasonal and not year round. Food was well balanced and each bite felt well curated! The risotto was creamy but not heavy- the peas and asparagus and a hint of citrus help balance it out to make it a really enjoyable dish! The pasta was perfectly Al dents with great bounce and chew and packed with flavor! We had the almond flan with passion fruit saffron sauce- this too was well balanced and scrumptious to the last morsel! The staff are super attentive and friendly! Thank you for a great meal and even greater experience!"
