Was The Dreaded Chalupacabra at Basta a mag?
The food here is delicious and reasonably priced, and the staff is very friendly. I ordered the chicken caprese, and it's definitely one of the best I've ever had—so fresh and full of flavor. The presentation is beautiful as well. I would have expected to pay double for this level of quality. View all feedback.

What Mrk303 dislikes about Basta:
I had heard many great things about Basta. I finally got around to ordering from here. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The pasta was almost inedible from how salty it was. The Margherita pizza was mediocre at best. Very disappointed by the chicken parm hero. The best part of the meal was the chips that came on the side. First and last time visiting this place.
