Basta Pizzeria - Iowa City

The sourcing Orecchiette Pasta was amazing! Service was excellent. Sit fast. The food was prepared in a short time and delicious. Very recommended.

An excellent dinner with surprise happy hour cocktails. The outdoor dining felt like a European café and our service was incredible. Thank you Alice for taking care of us and blessing us with your friendly service. You made our night special.

We tried this place for the 1st time while we were in Iowa City. It has a neat feel to it, unique décor, amazing service, and incredible food.

We came into town late on a Wednesday night and they got us in 15 minutes before closing. Service was great, atmosphere was nice, and we all ordered pizzas which were delicious. Crust was a little thicker than I like but the leopard spotting, crispness and open crumb with a hint of sourdough was very satisfying. We had a daily special pizza with sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, and a honey oil that was absolutely amazing. The rest of the menu looks very good and we will definitely need to come back.

Went here on a date night years ago and revisited again with friends a couple weeks ago and wow, it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is super moody and relaxing and the menu has excellent selections without being an overwhelming amount of options. Our table shared the burrata which we devoured and I ordered the bolognese. They must make their noodles in house because they are cooked perfectly and have the right chewy bite. Great place to go for a date night or a small group!
