    RIGATONI AMATRICIANA (sorry I ate a few bites before the photo )
    Rolen Y.

    This was my first time here. I ordered the Amatriciana pasta. It was delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked "al dente". I really liked the sauce which included nice pieces of pancetta. It is a fast casual style of restaurant. The decor is modern. The staff were quick and attentive throughout the meal. I will definitely go back to test more dishes.

    In the fashion place mall with outdoor entrance. Order at the cashier and wait to be seated. Server brings drinks and a small piece of bread per person. $25 for my entree. Flavor pretty good. You can tell pasta is fresh.

    A great speedy spot for pasta/pizza. We were immediately greeted by three employees upon entering and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The pasta was out within minutes but while your waiting theyll bring you complimentary bread with olive oil/vinaigrette. I will say, for the price it is a bit steep but otherwise i enjoyed their flavors and protein add on options!

    All I knew about this place was that it looked like they made their own, fresh pasta so the carboholic in me wanted in. This is a fast, casual place where you order up front and then they bring you the food. Lots of other things are self service, like to go boxes, napkins and condiments. I really like this approach because I would rather just go grab stuff myself when I need it. Service was friendly, attentive and better than I would have expected for this type of restaurant. But the food. OMG, the food is incredible. Perfectly cooked fresh pasta with an excellent chew enrobed in rich, flavorful sauce that hangs onto the pasta like a clingy ex. I appreciated the large, fresh basil leaves on top and generous shower of high quality shredded parm. My SO also ordered a pizza sandwich thing with gorgeous, tri colored cherry tomatoes and some kind of salty, cured meat. It was fantastic as well. I was so impressed by the quality of ingredients here. If you are a pasta lover and haven't tried Basta yet, you really need to!

    Basta has some of the best food I've experienced at a fast-casual style restaurant. The pasta is made fresh and is cooked al dente. The chicken cutlet was crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Caesar dressing was good and I appreciated having the option to add on something green.

    Wow I wish we had tried BASTA sooner!! The staff was incredibly friendly, the service was quick and it wasn't hard to find seating. It also didn't have that intense echo that you sometimes find in places like this. The food was absolutely incredible. To find Italian that tastes this authentic in Utah is so exciting!! It can be a bit expensive depending on what you order but everyone in our party left full. Highly recommend!

    This place is so delicious, and I highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed in how good the food is. The bread with balsamic vinegar was so good, the prosciutto lemon pizza was delicious, and so the pasta. I also tried their desserts, but I didn't like their tiramisu; it was ok, but their pistachio cannoli was good. I was around the mall, but I think this place is really hidden, but great customer service. In my opinion is the best in the area.

    I had no idea this place was a relative of the amazing sicilia Mia! The pasta is so tender and fresh tasting, which is surprising for this fast food environment. The price is definitely reflects the quality of the food. I like my arancini's a little less breaded, but they were still flavorful. Surprisingly the pizza was my favorite. It had a tangy pizza sauce and just enough cheese. Service was fast and everyone was incredibly helpful.

    One of the best casual Italian eateries I've been to. They make the pasta in house, and their sauces are made the way they should be: in small batches. The service is one of the best! Veronica is THE HOST to have in town. She accommodated a part of 17 with ease. They served us very well. Highly recommend this place!

    GNOCCHI SORENTINA & PAPPARDELLE CRAB
    Michelle N.

    Solid pasta/pizza spot! The gnocchi sorentina and pappardelle crab were both cooked consistently but I'd come back for the pistachio pizza itself! The pistachio pizza was good and such a bang for your buck given the size. I thought it was going to be more of a personal pizza but was happy to see it was bigger than I thought!

    Megan L.

    It was my first time trying this place. I do love how it's all handmade and fresh. The inside is smaller than I would thought and we couldn't get a table right away because of our bigger group. We tried the fettuccine alfredo. The sauce was bland and not flavorful. I asked for a side of marinara which I added and it made it better mixing the 2 sauces. We got the margerhita pizza which was good. We enjoyed it way better than the pasta. We tried the olive oil cake and it was decent. It's also really expensive and the portion sizes are pretty small for what it costs. If I'm going to spend a lot of money on food I'd like it to fill me up and not leave hungry. The pizza was the best value. It was cheaper and more filling. I would maybe like to give this place another try.

    This was my second time back at Basta. My coworker recommended this place awhile back and boy am I glad! If you know the Italian restaurants, Sicilia Mia and Antica Sicilia, this is basically like the lowkey version of those. Such great Italian food for a lower price than those fancy restaurants. They have a sort of club/outgoing vibe going on inside. Lots of music and cool art. You order at the front and then they'll bring out the fresh focaccia bread, drinks and food. The focaccia was great, who doesn't love some bread before their meal. I ordered the SORENTINA Gnocchi and it was super yummy. Came with cheesy mozzarella balls and a yummy pink sauce. My boyfriend got the vodka pasta which was also delicious, he finished his whole plate. Located right at fashion place mall. This is a great place for some amazing Italian food when you need a more casual night out.

    We were out and about on Saturday and decided to stop in a try Basta Pasteria (because unfortunately they're not open on Sundays). My son wasn't too excited for anything on the menu as they don't offer pepperoni as an option, however my husband and I decided to go with the Rigatoni Amatriciana and Pappardelle Genovese then convinced my son to try the calzone. The focaccia bread, with olive oil & balsamic, is served complimentary to the table with your meal and was delicious - although it is tipped with olives. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, my son living the bread of his calzone the best. It is a bit pricey and there are a lot spicy options (I am not a spice fan), but I would definitely recommend trying Basta.

    They only serve cans of sodas. I had the gnocchi and it was pretty salty. I believe that this spot has so much potential.

Parking here is very vacant…read more Service was good and it seemed like all servers were trained to do everything in a consistent manner. Replacing cutlery, dishes, water, etc. was all standard practice and I don't think I remember asking for anything regarding that, which was nice. Caesar salad came with a fresh presentation. Neat, but a little too sour/salty for my liking, 7/10. Calamari was also a little too over-seasoned to my liking (lots of salt or herby powder), but the sauces and taste were good, 8.5/10. There was a meatball I tried and that was a very good meatball with sauce, 9/10. Carbonara was also a bit salty and heavy but hey, it's pork fat, egg yolk, cheese, and starchy salty water. Assuming they didn't cheat with cream, it was a smooth carbonara by carbonara standards. 8.5/10 and could be 9.5/10 if it was a little less salty. Overall a great place for dates or small-ish celebrations :)

There is bread and spread that they bring to the table and it was delish! I ordered bruschetta which was so, tangy and flavorful. Next came Branzino Saltimbocca. The fish was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious with saltiness from prochutto and creaminess from spinach. I would highly recommend this place as everything was delicious. Just keep in mind there is a wait-list during dinner time. Also, portions are huge!
