Basso 7036 Clayton Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63117

"Food really good. Third time here. Brought friends this time. Always a cool underground vibe. Three burgers with truffle fries which they thought were fabulous. I ate the Mafalda. Great pork ragu pasta. Had some mixup with the wine, but the staff corrected right away. Will be back."

"There was definitely a romantic atmosphere. I was there with my wife and my grandkids and their dates. It's a little too dark for me. I had to use a candle to see the menu. I ordered a pasta dish that was similar to Fettuccine Alfredo, but it wasn't a sauce. It was kind of a dry type of cheese noodles, almost like a baked Fettuccine Alfredo. It was a little dry, but I enjoyed it. My wife ordered a pizza, and she said it was awesome. Pepperoni pizza with spicy hot honey drizzled on top, thin crust. She enjoyed it immensely. The olive oil and bread were outstanding. I waited too long to write this review, so I don't remember what my granddaughters and their dates ordered. But they all seemed to enjoy their meals and did not complain about anything. It's a great place for a date night. If this review was helpful, please give me a thumbs up."

"Returned for my little sister’s birthday. Food and drinks were delicious and service was phenomenal. Just as dark as last time though. That was the one thing I would change for the experience. Other than that, I would highly recommend!! Food was average and drink was not my favorite either. It seemed a lot darker inside compared to the last time I had been here to eat. Maybe just came on a bad night"

"Wonderful atmosphere... Staircase leads you down to a historic Italian bistro. Candle lit during the evenings, earthy crockery, booths, high tables, and bar seating. The smell of the baking in the stone-fire oven fed by wood is tantalizing. They have an extensive alcoholic beverage list, but I was after the vegan pizza and roasted cauliflower appetizer. Friendly staff and festive atmosphere. I treat myself to the Basso on my birthdays when I'm in town. Our waitress treated me to a lovely Italian dessert it was so delicious"

"Amazing happy hour! The meatballs and dip...phenomenal! The happy hour and burger and fries were delicious and an incredible value! Do yourself a favor and stop in M-F 4-6pm, you won't be disappointed! Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!"
