Jacob May
Nice menu and good higher end style of Italian. Not as romantic as a hole in the wall pizza shop at night but it’s nice. The atmosphere is only missing Italians that can barely speak English. But it’s pretty authentic cooking.

Gary Nasuta
Enjoyed a Saturday evening dinner with friends. Calamari was overcooked. Salad and bread sticks didn’t come until some meals were on the table. White and seafood pizza were great. Our friend enjoyed the stuffed shrimp and seafood pasta. Excellent desserts. Somewhat expensive for a casual dining experience.

I have lived in the area for 6 years and every time I’ve called to place a take out order, I’ve NEVER spoken to someone who actually knows the menu or specials. Although, the prices have increased and their portions decreased, I’ve still gone back to order. After tonight, I will no longer support them. I’m not sure why individuals are being hired that do not know the menu, or specials and when asked to make simple substitutions to an order can’t figure that out. You’d think they’d find out the answer to something, opposed to saying, “I’m not sure” with no follow up. Please appropriately train your staff for the prices you charge.

We absolutely loved this place. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was the best I think I have ever had at a restaurant. I can not give enough praise. We did order alot so our meal for two was a bit high on the price but it was worth every dollar. My husband even left a 30% tip because we were so impressed with the service.

Sarah Alexander
The food was amazing. I got shrimp linguine with scampi sauce and the shrimp were huge and there were so many! The ambience was great. But what really stood out was the service. Our server was so sweet and she was clearly very busy but our table NEVER went without. There were at LEAST 3 servers who stopped by and cleared empty plates, refilled drinks, and packaged our food up for us. All of which were not our server. I loved the teamwork and attention to detail! 10/10 would eat here again and recommend friends.

Giving a 3 stars for the brunch. I ordered a smoked salmon eggs Benedict. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The sauce broke and just didn’t have a great overall flavor. The salmon was very fishy and not that typical smoky taste I was expecting. It almost seemed as if it was poached. The side salad had a very bitter taste, maybe from a bad lemon used in the dressing. The potatoes were ok didn’t really have any seasoning or flavor. The three for 5$ mimosas were ok definitely heavy on the oj. I would recommend this location for dinner as that is what we usually have when we dine here.

Just had dinner at Basta Pasta last night and the food was great, as always (The salad and bread are incredible!). Our waiter, Yanni was probably the best waiter we’ve experienced in a very long time and we go to many restaurants at all levels, super casual to 5 star. He was friendly, courteous, detail-oriented, thorough and he generally wanted us to have a great experience. Love this place!

Michelle Griffin
I went there for dinner with a friend tonight. Our whole experience was excellent. We were seated immediately in a booth, our server was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the food was excellent! I highly recommend the Chicken Chesapeake and Sangria. It was a really nice evening!
