We were traveling from Jutland to Sealand and didn't want to make the usual fast-food stop. So we found this spot, 3 minutes from the highway.
The restaurant has a very cafeteria-like vibe to it, and it was obvious that they served a lot more take-out than table dinners. We were met with friendly service, however, and everything was clean.
We made an order of Antipasti Speziale, and a dish of Linguine Carbonara, both to share.
For the price we expected to get a single dish with a som slices of meat and a bit of cheese. But to our surprise it was several courses of delicious antipasti.
The first course was four simple Bruschette.
I felt it could use a bit more garlic but my girlfriend was well satisfied.
Shortly after we were served a glass of salmon tartar with creme fraiche which was very fresh a and quite well balanced. The dried bread for this however was not as good as fresh bread would have been.
Then came the meat: Two kinds of sausages; truffle and paprika, prosciutto crudo, and bresaola with rucula and parmesan. - Delicous. At last we had two types of cheese; taleggio and pecorino which ended the parade.
This was more than enough for us so we asked if we could get the Carbonara to go. No problem there.
We paid at the counter and drove off. After a short while we couldn't restrain ourselves anymore, and had to try the Carbonara. It was a bit disappointing as it had a little bit too much sauce and could use some more salt, pepper and cheese.
All in all finding Pasta e Basta was a very pleasant surprise, and we will be coming again when we travel across Funen. read more
