Disappointing meal. Admittedly, I haven't been there in a couple years but had many good meals here…read morein the past. My cacio e pepe was good, although served with angel hair when it should be bucatini or a thicker spaghetti. Bread and olive oil were delicious. As someone else here said, the pizza is inconsistent. I have had Marguerita pizza from their takeout which was great. The pizza my husband got did not even resemble a marguerita pizza. No sauce. Just tiny pieces of tomato atop a lot of cheese. He didn't touch it and explained that was not what he expected. I asked the server why it was so different from what I'd had from their takeout, she said it was the same. They must have changed a lot! Although we don't want the pizza and didn't touch it, when she offered to box it I said okay and of course paid for it. Kind of regret that since we are not going to eat it. After that, I was rushed finishing my pasta. Handed the bill within 1/2 hour of sitting down. Server was pleasant enough but she seemed put off when he was upset with the pizza. Mostly, I hated being rushed. Wont return.

I just had a wonderful experience at Basta Pasta. 3 of us arrived around 6:00 on a Thursday . Weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Even though it was busy, seating was quick because there was indoor, outdoor, and cabana seating. Service was very attentive and food was excellent. I had the Cashew Pesto Pasta- it was delicious and not only was the overall proportion huge but they were very generous with the amount of grilled shrimp in it. My boyfriend had the manicotti with meatballs and it was delicious. The cheese blend in the manicotti was amazing. My adult son had the gnocchi di ricotta - excellent as well. And of course their signature garlic knot rolls which they refilled for us. We very rarely get dessert but we decided to split an Affogato- ice cream with hot espresso poured over it and topped with bits of chocolate shavings . It was decadent without being too sweet or filling. Very similar to a virgin espresso martini. And there was a solo guitarist playing in the background. Nothing could had been better.

Fresh Baked Bread of the day: Focaccia, MY ABSOLUTE FAV. Served w/ 2 sides: a pleasant rosa sauce,…read morea butter so complex I couldn't crack the code. First thought, olives ? Then, hint of Lavender ? DEE-LISH is what it was! Swordfish soo good laid across a heap of Hoppin' John (for those who don't know) black-eyed peas & rice w/ the most chewy salty bits of pork. Lump crabmeat sprinkled overtop. I LOVED it! The bad news: Meatball starter should get 86'd. Dry, smallish, boring, didn't make sense. Was excited by description, but once arrived we had difficulty picking out the elements. Felt like 3 tiny meatballs in a pool of sauce w/ a piece of crispy "pepperoni". Husband enjoyed meatloaf; we appreciated its savory flavors. Felt similarly about creamy emulsion of leek soup finished w/ oil. Neither were raves, but still highly enjoyable. Sat in corner bar table. Atmosphere cozy. Service good. Prices high for hit or miss dishes, but the ones they got right, worth every penny! Wish I'd saved room for dessert.

My wife and I stopped here for an early dinner on a sleepy summer Sunday. We wanted somewhere with…read moreoutside dining, and there is a nice little off-the-road patio area that looked wonderful. Walking through the restaurant, it is a beautiful facility. I love places that have different levels and areas instead of one big open room for dining. Very impressive woodwork throughout. We sat down and ordered. Service was a little slow but I think they were understaffed. That happens, no big deal. Wife ordered a jalapeno tequila drink that was on the menu and she loved it. For dinner, we ordered a special appetizer (fried zucchini blossoms) and for dinner I had the lemon and garlic grilled half-chicken, my wife had beet spinach salad with pancetta. This is where things went south. The food was average, at best. The beet spinach salad with pancetta, the beets looked like they came from a can -- each slice was sliced perfectly and they were all the same sized. They had no flavoring, either. The dressing was sparse, at best, and the cheese that was supposed to be on top had zero flavor too. The pancetta was not pancetta, it was bacon. Pancetta is cured, as is bacon, but it is not smoked. One bite and it was clear that the meat had a smoky flavor. The "lemon garlic chicken" had no flavor. No lemon, no garlic. It tasted like it was baked and then finished on the grill. Actually, I am certain it was baked first, since most of the skin on the chicken had a rubbery texture. There was no lemon or garlic flavor to the chicken, either. A simple marinade before cooking would have given it some flavor. So the meat was amazingly plain flavored, and for $26 for a chicken dish, that's a big miss. Still, I ate it, because I am a food zamboni. However, my wife only ate about a third of the salad. She really did not like it at all. She mentioned it nicely to the waitress, since it is important to give this feedback to the kicthen. The waitress took away the salad after apologizing for it. Yet, when the bill arrived, the salad was still on the bill. If a person at a restaurant barely picks at something because they are dissatisfied with the quality, automatically it should be comped. No question. So, as far as a nice setting, this restaurant has it. But execution on the food? Not even close to being worth the money.

It was our first time eating here upon a recommendation and we were not disappointed. Our group of…read morethree shared an appetizer, one special and two regular entrees, and six drinks. Total for the night with tip was ~$200. Food was excellent, drinks are generous pours, and ambiance is great. Food: To start, we munched on the free focaccia bread served with dipping oil which looks more like Sicilian pizza cut into small squares. If you're like us, you'll want a second helping. We shared the appetizer special (white asparagus with smoked salmon in a lemon cream sauce). The entree special Tile fish, salmon, and crab cakes were all delicious and come with different sides. Portions are not large but are just enough in my opinion especially if you eat the bread and get an appetizer. Service: Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Service was quick but it was fairly busy. Table service was excellent. There were two other staff that monitored our table and they are really friendly, upbeat, and not obtrusive. Ambiance: This is actually a boutique hotel which I hadn't realized. It's set up like a large modernized Victorian house with several eating locations on several levels. We ate downstairs at a table for four near the second bar. I usually like a more secluded table but it didn't bother me to sit where we sat so all was good. There is actually a table seating area inside a box car near the upstairs bar with a view of the street and I might try sitting there next time.
