Don’t sleep on Basta. One of the best meals we’ve had in Boulder. And we didn’t even try the pizza, which we hear is great.

Lovely food, great outside tables and service. I especially liked the scallops, the liver and the pizza! Great place to order family style.

Flavors on flavors. Great ambience in the restaurant and the dishes were delightfully unique that Basta has its own flavor profile beyond just being Italian or Italian inspired. The plates are a little bit smaller than I would expect, so maybe going for one plate per section of the menu. Plus maybe one or two more plates in any given section.

Basta is one of my favorite restaurants in Boulder! My husband and I went there to celebrate a few weeks ago and we were early for our reservation. We grabbed a cocktail at the bar while we waited for the table and everything was delicious, both food and drinks and all of the employees were so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend them enough!

Small menu but really great food and drinks. Recommend the burrata if it’s there!

We came to Basta for the first time looking for good pizza that we could get to-go. We were immediately welcomed by the staff and sat at the bar while we waited. We sipped on lambruscos and talked to the bartender about the unique (and delicious) cocktails on the menu.

At this price point everything should be flawless, it was not. The food was lacking in both seasoning and cohesiveness.

Starter salad was flavorful and generously portioned. Wood fired pizza was delicious and worth the wait. Calzone was ok but filling was not heated sufficiently due to size. Have a glass of wine and enjoy company. Outside dining pods were heated and covid protocols were in place. Would go back and try again.

Came back after ten years away and it’s still delicious! Robert the bartender was great and really the entire staff were fantastic. We had the fish dish, a little pricey but very good! My wife loves the smoked ice-cream.
