    Agnolotti
    Rima H.

    Very romantic and cozy restaurant both in door and patio seating. Perfect for a birthday or rehersal dinner. Huge selection of pasta, we got short rib pasta which was delicious. The best part which you must not miss is the desert! Must have the tiramisu and what's even better is the cheesecake!!!!!

    Tiramisu
    Evelina K.

    A wonderful find! The pasta was absolutely delicious and it's my new favorite pasta spot in Miami! The pasta itself is so flavorful and the way they combine it with sauces is just perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also liked the vibe inside the restaurant - it has modern luxury atmosphere that is great for a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the tiramisu. It wasn't bad but the pasta set the bar very high. I think it was missing flavor in the cookie, maybe it should've had whiskey base or something. Would be happy to come back!

    Paccheri Ai Tre Pomodori

    We got three pastas to share, all the top recommendations from the server and the chef. Each pasta was amazing and different in flavor. The paccheri ai tre pomodoro was a wonderful tomato based sauce with some sweetness from the datterini tomatoes. It's lighter but still savory with the consistency of the sauce. The spaghetti carbonara was not overly salty and had the perfect amount of richness. The conchiglioni al sugo de carne had a heft amount of meat in the sauce yet each bite wasn't overwhelming. Can't go wrong with either of these dishes. Will definitely be back to try the others.

    Great Italian in Midtown. I had the carbonara with perfectly al dente spaghetti, and my friend loved the fresh pasta with beef ragù and she said it was delicious. The lunch special included dessert, so we finished with pistachio gelato and coffee, which was a perfect ending. Street parking was available and easy to find.

    Tagliatelle bolognese

    Pasta e Basta was such a great find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels authentic, elegant, and very "Italian trattoria" style -- cozy but still fancy enough for a nice night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You really feel like you're dining somewhere in Italy. The waitresses were incredibly kind and attentive, always checking in and making sure we were having a good time without being intrusive. The service honestly made the experience even better. All the pastas are fresh and perfectly al dente, just like true Italian style should be. I tried the Rigatoni all'Amatriciana, and the sauce was bold and powerful with authentic Roman flavors -- absolutely delicious. The tagliatelle Bolognese had a rich, well-balanced ragù that tasted slow-cooked and homemade. The agnolotti filled with ribs were super flavorful and comforting. I also ordered a glass of wine that unfortunately tasted a bit oxidized, but the waitress handled it very professionally and kindly replaced it with a Nebbiolo, which was excellent and paired perfectly with the food. I still need to go back to try their carbonara -- it's a classic and definitely next on my list. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh pasta, authentic flavors, and great service.

    Cheesecake and chocolate cake

    I always rave about this place to coworkers. This is the second job I've had I was able to convert people to Pasta e basta fans!! Came with co workers for their lunch special I believe it's pasta dessert and espresso for under $25 ! I got the carbonara , it's so flavorful and the pancetta is juicy and crispy. Food is always fresh and consistent in taste. I got the tiramisu for my lunch dessert it was so good and also taste very fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in the garden and it makes you forget you are in the middle of Miami. The vibe feels like you are on vacation in a wine garden.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can say it's a small place and fills up all at once for lunch so service can be a touch slow for extra request. But the overall experience is worth it

    Place is small, but very charming - it has a cool and hip med/California vibe. We showed up to celebrate an event without a reservation on a Friday night around 8:45p (peak hour), and the staff was very polite and accommodating - we waited maybe 15 minutes before they found us a table for 3. The food was great: I had the carbonara - it was delicious - I rarely, if ever, give high praise, and this dish was a 6 out of 5 - it was not like any carbonara I've ever had, but it was delicious. The crispy cured guanciale (pig cheek) was out of this world (really crispy and flavorful - mind you since it's cured it's very salty, but I love salty). And the pecorino Romano had a strong acidity to it making the dish the best carbonara I've ever had. We also ordered the BEEF LASAGNA and CONCHIGLIONI AL SUGO DI CARNE (short rib pasta). I only tried the lasagna and it was decent, I would order it - I'd rate it a 4 of 5. I did not try the short rib pasta, but my friend said it was great. Throughout the experience, the staff kept frequently, professionally and 'seamlessly' checking on us without intruding at any point - they were prepared for recommendations and knew how to politely handle anything you threw at them. For desert we tried the CHEESECAKE BASCA (basque cheesecake) and it was delicious 5 out of 5 - portion is so good it's not big enough. We also tried the SALAME AL CIOCCOLATO, which are homemade chocolate cookies from a sausage form factor - they bake them into sausage shape with Callebaut Cocoa. Crushed Biscuits and Coffee Kalua. Then slice them like salame - you get four pieces - I don't like chocolate, and I enjoyed these, especially contrasted against the cheesecake. 5/5 for chocolate lovers. If you want a cool hip but intimate restaurant to take a date or a lunch business partner, this is a good spot. Make sure you make a res in advance - we just lucked out, but don't expect to find a table if you show up at peak hours.

    Fantastic! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small and cozy, with a comfortable atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The style is simple and casual, yet it retains a refined elegance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love this authentic Italian pasta spot. For those of us living in the city center, it is truly a hidden gem. Our waiter, Mirko, was excellent.

    Cavatelli al sugo di carne (lunch special)
    Becky L.

    Came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch. Excited that there was a lunch special (pasta, coffee, dessert for $22). Complimentary bread standard and decent, love when it's complimentary. The staff said the most popular pastas were the rigatoni carbonara, cacio e pepe, and the cavatelli al sugo de carne. I ended up ordering the rigatoni carbonara and my friend got the cavatelli. I loved the al dente texture of both of our pastas. If I had to choose, my favorite would be the cavatelli because of the denser texture of the cavatelli and the beef was really good with it. For the coffee, my friend and I were able to choose the decaf options, I got an espresso, she got a latte--both good and great pairing with dessert. We shared the tiramisu and the fig crostada. If you like fruity tart flavors, the crostada is for you, otherwise I preferred the creamier tiramisu. Parking available close by as street parking either in front or across the street. Service was attentive. Ambience was nice and comfortable. Overall a fantastic lunch deal, definitely will consider coming back for the lunch special.

    I had been wanting to come here since it opened, I've had only heard good things about it. Finally came for dinner for a friend's birthday. As we entered the restaurant, the staff greeted us and we were promptly seated. The restaurant is quaint, and decor is minimalistic and beautiful, with a large outdoor dining area. Our servers were very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. I tasted a salad made with tomato, avocado and heart of palms-- I was hooked! I couldn't stop eating it. It was delicious and I want more of it. We also tasted 3 different types of pasta which I also enjoyed very much.. The sauces were *chefs kiss * I will definitely come back for more.

    Tiramisu
    Danielle M.

    We had dinner with some of our friends last night and wow Pasta e Basta was amazing! The lasagna was incredible with the creamy bechamel sauce and the short rib pasta was extremely flavorful. We couldn't help but try the tiramisu and chocolate cake which both did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had friendly service and loved the design inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pasta was authentic and a little slice of Italy in Miami, we will definitely visit again!

    I felt like I was back in Italy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small and cozy and oh so beautiful and classy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious, well priced, and good portion. Very authentic! It's a must try. The lunch special can't be beat, a pasta, dessert, and coffee for $22... #winning. Service was great, the server was very attentive.

    GianMaria worst customer service ever
    Sasil C.

    Worst Customer Service Experience Ever This was hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The manager, GianMaria el manager una Basura de persona , treated my daughter and me with complete disrespect and discrimination. We were made to feel unwelcome from the moment he approached us. What truly crossed the line was when my baby's food was asked to thrown away several times. As a parent, this was shocking, humiliating, and unacceptable. There was zero empathy, no attempt to resolve the situation, and no accountability--only attitude and arrogance from management. No family should ever be treated this way, especially when a baby is involved. Customer service was nonexistent, and management behavior was disgraceful. I will never return and strongly warn other families to avoid this place They did not offer any kids menu options, we were the ones who asked if there was something that they could adapt; they said pasta with any sauce, the manager did not offer anything for my baby, we asked the waiter. we obviously understood that we could not bring food; so we put them in boxes as they required, but the manager keep harassing; and told us that my daughter has 5 minutes (yes, 5 minutes to eat her food); he asked to leave the place. The owner should learn to be humble and human; even the best meal if is offered with disgrace and disrespect is garbage. I usually do not this type of review but last night was an absolute disaster, worst experience ever.

As we went inside, my wife and I decided to have a private dining because our two children are very loud and nosy, we didn't want to disturb and ruins the night of other table and customer.

Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.
