Even if price was half, still would not be worth it. Just my opinion. Maybe will go back one day to try something non-pizza.

There are plenty of tables and they charge a non-refundable booking fee of $1 which is silly for a restaurant like this.

The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, and the dishes are uniquely crafted, giving Basta its own distinctive flavor profile that draws solely from Italian cuisine. The portion sizes are a bit smaller than I anticipated, so it might be a good idea to order a dish from each section of the menu. Additionally, offering one or two more options in certain sections would enhance the experience.

Calzone was ok, but the filling was not sufficiently heated by the size. Have a glass of wine and enjoy company. Outside the eating pads were heated and Kovid protocols were present. Would try again.

The ice cream tastes like the beautifully decorated ambiance. The music was a little loud for our conversation but I probably wouldn't change anything else.

To top off our meal, we indulged in potato donuts with orange chantilly and chocolate pudding with coffee whipped cream, reminiscent of a pot de crème. Overall, the entire dining experience was exceptional. We highly recommend Basta with its new menu and can't wait to visit again!

It was wonderful to meet Kelly, explore the wood mill, and taste the delightful bread and burrata course, along with the rapini, duck confit, and clam pizza. I can’t wait to return!
