Basta is a surprisingly delicious restaurant tucked in unassumingly in the middle of an apartment complex so easy to miss its subtle signage. The two of us split the Cart Driver -- a wood fired pizza with pork sausage with chili flake (added spice without being spicy), kale, mozzarella, fennel pollen ($27), a small arugula salad ($7), a side of cooked sunchokes ($14), and a chocolate pistachio budino -- small pot of chocolate pudding with pistachio butter base and finely chopped pistachio topping ($12). They include a 22% gratuity automatically, which I personally am fine with from a Boulder Farm-to-Table dining experience. I felt the items were pricey relative to portions served, but I justified the elevated costs to myself as my dinner indirectly supporting businesses and farms in the area. While I liked the vibe, even on a Monday night, it was hard for me to hear my guest across from me. I liked that they take reservations. When I go back, it will most likely be at a quieter time and for a more special occasion rather than a weeknight get-together. read more

Fantastic meal at Michelin rated Basta in Boulder, CO. The atmosphere was relaxing and warmly lit. About a dozen tables were arranged in between concrete floors, cream colored walls and subtle holiday decor. Some seating has views of the open kitchen and wood burning oven which cooks most of their food. The service was absolutely on point and left you wanting for nothing, which also adds a 22% gratuity to each check regardless of party size. It's what I would've paid anyway for such great service, so no complaints there. We shared an order of burrata, some pizza and dessert. Everything was epic and the pizza was almost exactly as you'd find it in the greatest of Neapolitan pizzerias in Italy! The dessert was laughably small, but tasty. All in all a fun experience and a place I'd definitely eat at again. If in Boulder, consider making a reservation at this place! read more

The food is exceptional, fresh ingredients, prepared with care. What really sets Basta apart is the staff. The servers are knowledgeable and helpful. We asked about the flour used in a baked product and the baker spent time describing the various wheat grains used. It's always a treat to visit Basta. read more

Basta is always a treat and I will certainly be back. We tried the burrata with bread and it was a treat. 10/10. Do not pass this one up. Since we came in the summer, it was served with a strawberry compote which enhanced the flavor. We had the margherita pizza as well which also was scrumptious. The pizza here to me is on par with a couple of the top pizzerias in the area. High quality ingredients all around. Drinks are a little pricy here but to be expected. And service is always attentive and top notch. read more

Loved the food, ambiance, and service. We celebrated a birthday and they did a very good job with the service. All the food we ordered was the perfect amount for six people. We ordered the chicken livers mousse, burrata, and the Caesar to start. The bread to spread ratio was off and there was more spread than bread. I think that's not a bad thing though. We did have to order more bread. The chicken liver mousse was perfection. Loved the liver with the pickles and would definitely get it again. The focaccia bread it came with was divine. The burrata lacked a bit of flavor for me but the piada bread was incredible. We got another piada bread. The Caesar was great. Strong anchovy flavor which was great. For drinks we had the matcha cocktail, the gin and apple cocktail, the carrot mock tail, and the chocolate whiskey desert drink. The matcha drink was beautiful and tasted nice. Not sure if I really got all the notes they mentioned though. The apple gin cocktail was refreshing and was good as well. Apparently the mock tail was really good and the rim of tajin worked well with the drink. The dessert drink was good but not mind blowing. Overall thought the presentation was nice and I liked the glasses but the drinks didn't blow me away. We ordered the fall pizza, the daisy, and og cart with half sausage. The fall pizza was great. Interesting mix of flavors that worked really well. The daisy pizza was also great. They made a classic perfectly. The og cart was a good pizza as well and I love kale on pizza. Didn't taste the fennel pollen at all though. Loved how they brought out fresh Parmesan, chili's and chili oil with the pizza. We also ordered all of the sides. The sunchokes, carrots, polenta, potatoes, and arugula. The sunchokes were great with the cream. Perfectly cooked. The carrots with the cream and the sunflower seeds were really yummy as well. The carrots were crispy and also soft at the same time. The polenta was cooked beautifully and seasoned well. It was a bit spicy with the chili. The potatoes with the olives were my favorite. They were Smokey and I've never had Smokey potatoes like that before. It was so good. The arugula was basic but was dressed well. The desserts were also good but I'd say the meal was better. We had the donuts, budino, parsnip sorbet, campfire vanilla ice cream, and the caramel apple ice cream was the birthday dessert. The donuts were good and not dense but lacked flavor. The budino was not as nice of a consistency and was too sweet. I've definitely had better donuts and budino. The ice creams were definitely a standout. I loved the vanilla. Never had that kind of incredible Smokey vanilla flavor before. The parsnip sorbet was so good. I loved the unique flavor and I couldn't believe how creamy the sorbet came out considering there's no dairy. The caramel apple ice cream they gave us was also great. Loved the flavor and texture. Overall the service was friendly and they brought out everything timed pretty well. Loved almost all the food and the ambiance was beautiful. Great bathroom was well. read more

Food was delightful. Ordered the burrata and Roberto pizza. The burrata is seasonal. Ours was served with peaches and balsamic. The burrata is served with their sourdough piada, which is simple and great. The kitchen uses their pizza dough but form it into a loaf. The Roberto was more sweet than spicy. Perfect Neapolitan-style pizza components: all about the dough and the red sauce. You trade-off needing a reservation for a bit more intimacy, given the table count. My husband and I walked in without one and were able to get a spot outside. The restaurant is on the smaller size, which makes sense given its surroundings. This location is mighty odd; in a small, albeit cute, condo complex. Unexpected locale for sure. read more

Basta - The Roberto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

When we attended the 2024 James Beard Awards, I made a point of wanting to dine at one of the Id Est Hospitality Group restaurants. It was recognized with the award for Outstanding Restaurateur. With family in Boulder, I dined at Basta, the first restaurant of this group to open in 2010. Basta is the Italian word for "enough." Like many farm-to-table restaurants they source most ingredients locally, grow vegetables in their own garden and feature breads from their own Dry Storage bakery. I was really surprised by its location in a condo complex. It certainly doesn't attract diners driving by. Diners come here because they know its reputation. The dining room has been described as industrial looking and kinda loud. It is small, with a concrete floor and an exposed ceiling. We experienced no issues with noise. But the dining room is small and may be hard to get reservations at, which are recommended. Although they have a full bar, they have a limited menu of craft cocktails. Most of the liquors they stock are from boutique distillers. With three of us dining, we started with the highly acclaimed Burrata, followed by the Chicken Liver Mousse. Both lived up to the advanced billing, but the Burrata was the show-stopper. The wood-fire oven plays a starring role in preparing many dishes, so we knew a pizza was in order. We selected the Roberto, featuring pepperoni, calabrian chili and honey. Perfect thin crust and char, plus yummy meats and cheeses. For our entree, we split the 18-ounce New York Strip. It was cooked exactly as requested, sliced and super tender. We ordered the Potato side with castelvetrano olives. Very unique and filling. Although we were super full, we knew we needed to try their ice cream or gelato. The Palisades Cherry Strudel Ice Cream was incredibly flavorful and decadent. Can't wait to check out some their sister restaurants in Denver. read more

What a lovely experience at Basta for a very special girls' holiday night out. Everything was great from being seated immediately, to the fabulous service and wonderful cocktails. We shared a bunch of food and enjoyed a really fun night. Thank you so much! read more

Went with a group of 6. Waitress was attentive, helped with ordering and food was great. We ordered two pizzas, 8 apps and some salads among us. Ambience was more casual than I was envisioning, but will be back. Yay for available parking! read more

The first time we ate at Basta a few years ago it was fantastic, this time it was wildly disappointing. The food was way too salty, mediocre, burnt, and the service was smug, all very surprising. The folks that sat next to us didn't finish their food and left without taking it with them. When we left my wife said we should have eaten at the Whole Foods Buffet...she was joking. You can look at my other restaurant reviews, there are none, my first, I just go back to a good place and don't return to a poor place, this one, nope, I had to leave a review.... read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. The cocktail menu is fantastic, they have an extensive whiskey selection, fresh espresso, and a wood fire oven. Amazing vibes and great music. Service was amazing their team is great. We started with the Burrata and piada bread and also got their citrus one. Definitely get both. The burrata was placed ontop of an eggplant red sauce that paired perfectly with the burrata. Let me tell you the house piada bread is addicting. Had 3 of them. It's perfectly crunchy with a slightly char taste and their citrus bread is so moist and salty and crunchy on the outside. Ordered the fall, mushrooms- that were perfectly crunchy and cooked down, olives, taleggio, rosemary chive. The pizza is 10/10 perfect crust and undercarriage. OG Cart- young kale, pork sausage, chili flake, mozzarella, fennel pollen. This was my favorite and accompanied by their house chili oil nothing is better imo. Cacio e pepe - perfectly aldente and with a delightfully full body sauce. I got their hand crafted cocktails, the mezcal was great. Next time getting an espresso martini. read more

Cute cozy spot in Boulder. They are farm to table, have tie up with many farms and have their own small garden in the back which they use for their cocktails and drinks. The servers were very friendly and quick. They walked through the menu and provided recommendations for drinks and food that would pair well. I tried the rotolo with sourdough piada. It was awesome. The piada is fresh baked, warm . The rotolo is so flavorful and yummy. The heirloom tomato sauce is the winner in this dish. I also tried the summer pizza with truffles, mushrooms, onion cream sauce. These days I am into truffles and this combo is great! For dessert I had the burnt honey ice cream. This is really fresh and sweet. Perfect conclusion to a great meal. Must try place! read more

Basta's Italian definition means "enough". However, I'd say the definition of Basta is "intentional". The atmosphere of Basta is simple, industrial and inviting. The kitchen and bar are exposed to the audiences in the room, and it's set up in a style where every seat in the house is favorable. There are places for pairs and groups to sit both inside and outside. There are even two cool bar areas, an inside and outside, for solo guests or small parties to enjoy. We sat at a table for two inside. We were kindly escorted to it by one of the waitstaff and promptly given water before being introduced to our main waitress, Rachel. She had a very calm, collected and cool essence about her. She knew the menu to a T, and gave us a great background of the restaurant and restaurant group Basta was a member of. Most importantly, she mentioned how Basta is big on locally sourcing produce. That they have their own local farm where they source all their own grain for the restaurant, and it is from that grain that they make all their own breads, pasta and pizza dough. As you can imagine, dinner was easily decided after she said that. We knew we had to try the dishes with the homemade breads: Burrata & Roberto. The Burrata came with the most delicious sourdough piada, cherry tomato, basil, garlic and onion crema! I'm not kidding when I say, "I'd have it every time as an appetizer." The sourdough piada is served fresh out of the wood-fired oven. It establishes this beautiful char across the bread! Before serving it to you, they drizzle it with the purest of olive oils and a sprinkle of salt shavings. It becomes the perfect vessel for you to spread the creamy burrata on top. You'll want bite after bite! The Roberto is a pepperoni, mozzarella, oregano, calabrian chili and honey pizza. If you like a spicy, slightly sweet pizza, this is your ticket to a satisfying meal. My husband absolutely demolished it! To accompany them, we ordered a menu special of Hamachi Collar. Now, Hamachi Collar is a rarity to ever see on a menu. In fact, this was my first time ever seeing it on a menu. So, if it's there, order it. I cannot even begin to describe how filling and tasty it was. It's such a treat! Finally, let's talk about what everyone really wants to know... How were the cocktails and how was the ice cream? Absolutely divine. We thought the cocktails were reasonable priced for their outstanding quality. They were well-balanced and smooth, which made it extremely easy to order another round. We loved that they were served with fantastic ice. If you love cocktails, you know how key this is to pushing a cocktail above and beyond! We appreciated this element very much. The ice cream was a complete surprise to us! Our server, Rachel, brought us a scoop on the house -- which was so kind. She explained how the unconventional flavor, Campfire Vanilla, is made by the chef. We were blown away by the smokey n' earthy elements of the slightly sweet vanilla ice cream. I cannot wait to go back and try it in an affogato! Overall, Basta is a restaurant that I'd share and recommend to anyone. read more

5 Stars for exceptional food, including a chicken liver mousse dish that will leave you licking the jar, and a great atmosphere. Before arriving in Boulder for a short conference, I did my homework and booked a couple of dinner reservations based on Yelp reviews. When booking Basta, I saw that they were featuring wine pours from a woman-owned natural wine maker, Emme Wines, on one of the days and quickly snagged a spot. I'm a big fan of restaurants that make a point to bring in and feature wine makers from around the country. Food: We opted to get a few smaller dishes to share along with our flight of wines. They were all SO GOOD. Here are my recs: - chicken liver mousse: this mousse is served in a small jar with a pickled tomato jam and crusty bread. Wow wow wow. We couldn't get enough. The sweet and tangy jam perfectly paired with the rich mousse and left us calling this as our favorite bite of the trip. - caesar salad: simple and boring, right? NOPE. This Caesar salad had pistachios, was perfectly dressed, and grana padano cheese (similar to parmigiano reggiano) grated finely all over. It was hard to stop eating this and my dinner companion had to remind me to leave some for her... - mussels with added herb focaccia: these mussels are in a pool of chorizo, garlic, tomato, and herb sauce and beg for you to add the focaccia or sourdough. Long after we consumed the plentiful mussels, I was dipping the focaccia in the soup that remained to continue to savor it. Beyond the food, the service was attentive, meeting the winemaker was a true highlight of our trip, and the ambiance made me feel like I was in my favorite little neighborhood gem back home. Though it may not be right on Pearl Street, this spot is not to be missed! read more

Basta - Beautiful cocktail with flower straight from the garden - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We were just visiting Boulder for the day, and a local couple recommended two places to us, Basta being one. What an amazing find! Welcoming staff that was super helpful in guiding our selections. Everything we ordered was truly incredible. The panzanela salad with cucumber, tomato and croutons had an excellent, tangy tomato basil dressing. We followed that by melt-in-your-mouth burrata with a tomato garlic confit and fresh made to offer bread. After that, we split a pizza. Lots of great selections when it comes to pizza choices, made it hard to decide. We went with the Daisy, a basic mozzarella, tomato basil that had the most amazing thin crust with a perfect sauce ratio. Lovely atmosphere both inside and out. We enjoyed wonderful Italian food from this restaurant I highly recommend. Simple, fresh ingredients put together in delicious combinations. read more

Basta - Burrito with fresh baked bread - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Started with a cocktail which was hard not to finish immediately, so refreshing and a good mix of strong and not too sweet and citrus. I didn't want to get pizza, but after seeing all the other pizza photos, obviously had to get the pizza. Did not disappoint! The pesto tagliatelle was delicious, didn't want it to end. Feels like they change up their menu every so often, hope they put mussels back on and I will be back for those. read more

The food here is WOW! The owners were recently recognized with James Beard awards and for good reason. The ingredients are as locally sourced as possible, with house milled dough for their breads and pizzas and you really can taste the difference. The sunflower seed pesto in the burrata added so much savory flavor without overpowering the subtle and creamy cheese, and piled on the bread - simply dreamy. My only note is that the service was a bit disappointing, we were waiting for a very long time to even place drink orders, and then ignored for odd stretches of time. Everything is served family style, so you have to split it yourselves onto your plates and we asked for clean plates before our main course, with ample time between since we just finished the first, but the entree arrived nearly 10 minutes before we got our cleaned plates so we spent that time just waiting... the waitress apologized but it overall did not feel like the level of service we were expecting with this place's reputation. Gratuity is automatically included at 22%, even with my small group of 3, so I expected more from the service to match the excellence of the food. read more

What can start with 1. An almost empty restaurant and was told if I didn't have a reservation it would be 15 min.i waited thinking it was going to be worth the wait. IT WASN'T! 2. A 22% service fee after I finished my dinner RIDICULOUS! 3. Asking for an additional tip on top of the 22% they extorted from me. NOT 4. The food was marginal at best. The chicken was bland. Not my first choice the lasagna they were out of. I travel all for work and definitely will not be coming back. read more

The food and experience was just truly amazing. With that said, of all the items we ate, the burrata was so good but it was the bread that stole the show.

Really delicious food in a small but charming and well designed space. They aren't directly off a main thoroughfare but easy enough to find and park.

I'd recommend making reservations for dinner (worth it!). We were lucky to get a table as a walk-in. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything we ordered was amazing: Haykin Cider, Burrata, Roberto Pizza, Turnips (locally sourced and my personal favorite from the whole meal), and donuts with a dipping cream. It's small and won't be seen from the street if you are driving around town. Cute spot with indoor and patio seating. read more

Have wanted to go here for a while, so finally decided to check it out with a friend on a random Monday night. My friend had been before and recommended we get the burrata, as a starter. You really can't go wrong with burrata, but the woodfire bread that came with it definitely elevated it. We decided on a pizza to share (the roberto, I think?) and got some drinks. The cocktails all looked delicious, but I decided to go for a glass of wine. My friend got a cocktail.. something pink with gin. Our pizza was phenomenal. I went to some pizza place in Naples that had a Michelin star, but this was actually better. Basta might actually also have a Michelin star though.. I can't keep up. The ambiance was pretty cool.. cozy, intimate, slightly smelling of campfire. Music was unexpected perfection.. I want to hear Grimes everywhere I go. Our waitress had a bizarrely pretentious vibe, but was nice enough and attentive. I suppose Basta has earned its right to be elitist anyways. I am probably not cool enough to eat here, but will definitely return.. if they let me. read more

Service was impeccable. Ambiance so pleasant. Host warmly helped with confusion of reservation time. She offered to print birthday girl name on the menu! Very nice touch. Food was great: Caesar Salad, Arugula, Rotola(sp), smoky vanilla ice cream, heavenly chocolate "pudding". Yes, a Michelin experience. Pizza lacked ingredients...2 clams on clam pizza. Insanely thin crust. Small portions are what expected from foofoo Michelin star restaurant. VERY EXPENSIVE DRINKS...I ordered gin an tonic, which was not on the specialty cocktails space on the menu. $15 each, PLUS $6 for tonic water! I could have bought a bottle of the excellent vodka. $45 after tax and tip for 2 drinks. Yeah, I feel guilty! That could buy a lot for the many homeless in Boulder. The TROUT! Large whole fish smoked in pizza oven. 4 or 5 people could eat that...but it had bones in it, the reason I never ate fish as a child. Always expected with a whole fish.. Wonderful flavor. Bottom line my friends and I enjoyed the place. I will not go back. The place is overrated. Just take me to Abo's for pizza. read more

Came here on a weekend night. It's a bit off the beaten path and seemed to located on the ground level of an apartment complex. Atmosphere 5/5: sitting in the private yurt on a summer's night was very enjoyable Service: 5/5: waters always full, giving drink suggestions, constantly checking in Food 4/5: highlights the burrata and the donuts. Clam pizza had a great crust but very little clam flavor compared to other clam pizzas we've had. Pasta had good texture but lamb not as flavorful as expected Value 3/5: for the price of the clam pizza would have expected more clam. Size of pasta and other entrees were pretty small for the price and there were many small up charges as well - extra bread for burrata, tonic for gin and tonic read more

We were blown away by the transcendent food and top notch hospitality at Basta. We were visiting from out of town, and sat at the bar. Every staff member working at the bar took the time to greet us and chat with us, even though they were all super busy. The chef manning the wood fire grill took the time to explain their home-milled grain and how the pizzas are made. The head chef also gifted us samples of the mokum carrots and potato donuts and explained the products behind them. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and philosophy they put into the products. Overall the entire dining experience was one of the best of our lives, thanks to the amazing Basta staff. It's a bummer we live so far away, otherwise we would be back at Basta as regulars. read more

We just ate here for dinner. We had the Daisy Pizza and their Mussels- smoked. Smoking them gives it that added taste of that carcinogen that I love! ‍ Both are delicious! Adam assumed that their pizza was of the Personal Size. It's not! Lol! But it's the thin crust style so it's easy to finish. I've always said that the pizza crust is the vehicle that carries the toppings and if the crust is bad as in floppy or soggy then it ruins the whole 'Zal! Happy that the crust here is excellent. Service is attending but real and not too fussy. This location is right smack in the midst of apartments? Or something. Parking is abundant at least tonight. It's a warm atmosphere and delicious food so far! read more

I was taken here for a BD celebration dinner total 5 of us. We split 4 appetizers. The Rotolo was EPIC. I kept saying that was "the most perfect tasting bite" ever! The Barata was also Excellent as was the Caesar Salad. We had 2 pizzas, The Clam (disappointing as there were very few -maybe 3 clams on the whole pizza) but flavor was very good, and The Summer - good but not special. One woman ordered the Trout and we all tasted that it was wonderful. Complimentary BD gelato w candle ... I am def Not a vanilla girl. BUT this wasn't any old vanilla. Campfire Vanilla which Ill let your waitperson explain BUT IT WAS A 10 out of 5 stars. As was the EXCEPTIONAL Chocolate Bodino. We all had drinks which were excellent as well - mine was a zero alcohol but was delish! I should take 1/2 star away for the "missing" clams on the pizza but service was above and beyond. So I wont, but wait; also because they personalized the menu and printed "Happy BD Sandee" on those that day - which made me feel like a Celeb ... coolest thing ever! read more

Visited Basta for a family dinner recently. We had heard great things, but our opinions were mixed after trying it. Starting off positive, the drinks were AMAZING! Our compliments to the bartender, The Bird mock-tail was probably the best NA drink I've ever had. All of the food was good, but for the price we were hoping to have everything be great. The standouts were the Caesar salad, the burrata, and the OG Cart pizza. Many of the portions just felt small for the price ($7 for a small cup of giardiniera). Service was great once we were at the table, but we did wait about 5 minutes in the entryway to the restaurant before being greeted and brought to a table, which felt a bit strange since we had a reservation and it's a smaller space so we didn't want to clog up the front section. Overall, I would come back here for drinks and snacks (the salad and a split pizza probably), but not for a full meal again. read more
