As per usual... "Uly needs his pie!" Had the Bufala, which was Buffalo cheese pizza. Walked back to the Swissotel with the takeout and the pie was still hot when we got to our room. Little on the pricy side but relative to everything else in Basel, WORTH IT. It was super fresh! Only lost a star for the challenge in communication. Be prepared. German/Italian speaking only. Or in another words... No English. read more

Restaurant Pizzeria ROMA Basel - Stones throw away from Swissotel - Pizza Near Me - Basel, BS

For good Italian food with great service and casual dining ambiance at very reasonable price, Roma gets 5 stars. I loved the complimentary basket of bread balls (soft pizza crust in a ball shape) and italian speaking super friendly server (speaks a little German and english). I had grilled squid which came out surprisingly big portion and side of pasta and this pasta convinced me to try the main pasta dish next time. It was great. Overall, highly recommend for date or business meal. PS: a glass wine was 5-5.50 CHF (cheaper than most restaurants) read more

Looked for a restaurant within walking distance from our hotel and found Roma on Yelp. We were not disappointed. Cute little place with attentive service and great food. The menu includes English, which we very much appreciated. My husband had lasagna and I had the tagliatelle with shrimp in a creamy saffron sauce. The portions were HUGE. We definitely recommend. read more

Excellent, reasonably priced Italian place within walking distance of messeplatz and Swissotel. The bacon gnocchi has an earthy sauce that is outstanding. read more

Excellent Italian restaurant. Caprese salad was delicious. The homemade lasagne was made with fresh tomatoes, bolognese, thinly sliced ham and probably fresh noodles. The top cheese layer was melted and browned perfectly. I enjoyed (vodka free) lemon sorbet afterwards. There was a healthy flow of locals into the restaurant which suggests that it is more than a tourist restaurant. Very glad to have tried this restaurant. I highly recommend it. read more

I'm always pleased when I travel to a new country and Yelp helps me find somewhere decent to eat (and of course to avoid the tourist traps). This was one of those occasions - as we were heading down to the Christmas market on the tram, we spotted it out the window on our first day in the country. I thought I had spotted it on Yelp previously and after checking on my phone, I had indeed bookmarked it. It was lovely and warm in the restaurant and the waitress was friendly although didn't speak much in the way of English, but understood enough that we got around any difficulties. I had the Quatro something-something pizza, which had mushrooms, ham, artichokes and sausage. But the real star of the meal was my wife's margherita pizza. Now considering that we've eaten at the restaurant in Naples which invented the thing, I hope we can have a decent comparison. The thing is - Roma's version was better. The base was more solid and the cheese/herb blend was perfect (although I suspect the Italians would scoff at the fact herbs was on it, but it made it better). It was just frankly, perfectly cooked. It just goes to show that sometimes simplicity is the thing. read more

I always find eating in foreign countries on the first day a little bit stressful - after travelling (even a short distance) with the pressure of catching a flight and finding your way to your hotel, the last thing I want to do is wrestle with a non-English menu with unfamiliar foods. Happy to do that for the rest of the visit, but not that first night. So I was happy to see this Italian place as we passed by on the tram, having noticed it on Yelp already. So we stopped in and I'm glad we did. It's not fancy but it was relatively busy on a Thursday night at 8pm. The menu is quite extensive but not daunting. After a lot of hemming and hawing, I decided I wasn't all that hungry and just went for a margherita pizza. It was surprisingly tasty, with a good quality sauce, a sprinkling of dried herbs, and thin crust that held up well. Despite only having 2 pizzas and 2 cokes, our bill was still around 45CHF - but from what I can tell, this isn't out of the ordinary for Switzerland. read more

Great dinner. Was tired of the meat and potato Swiss scene. So we stumbled upon this little jewel. Italian staff, friendly, accommodated multiple checks without acting annoyed. To begin with, we Ordered wine, minestrone soup, insalata caprese which came with balsamic and very virgin olive oil to put in yourself. Which also doubled as great dredging liquid for the yummy bread balls. Then dinner - we shared the Sicilian sausage, mushrooms, jam,and artichoke pizza (quattro something) as well as the ravioli special (asparagus ravioli) which was delicate and tasty! We were too stuffed for dessert. Great food, ample portions, not terribly expensive, and good service! Haven't had all 4 of those parameters met yet here in Basel so this is why I give it 5 stars! read more

Very nice local place. Best lasagna, nice wines and homemade tiramisu. Staff very friendly.

This restaurant/pizzeria is one of the best italians in Basel town. During lunch time it's advised to have a reservation as this restaurant is always crowded. Or you come early. All the dished i have tried were excellent. Which is reflected in the prices, if you are not going for a pizza. Don't forget to check out the dishes of the day. read more

Delicious pizza. Have had pizza for dinner here during two of my three nights in town. Cheese the first night, then the spicy salami the second night. If you like pepperoni you will love the spicy salami. read more

No complaints, very good overall. Service was great. I got a pizza (tabisca) and it was just what I expected. Would give 4.5 if I could, but not quite a 5 (not "memorable"). If you're in the neighborhood I think it's a solid choice, you won't be disappointed (but I wouldn't go out of my way, which would merit a 5). read more

The food was good, loved the pizza and soup. Very nice staff

Came on a Tuesday and it was crowded, but not full. Locals are going here for a reason. Not only are the pizzas really good, but the service was fast, nice, and attentive (despite only two serving). Great prices add the fifth star. read more

Delicious food. My favorite saltimbocca in town. Great pizza as well. Friendly staff. The owner will pass around limoncello after dinner. Make sure you make a reservation. Always crowded. Great to have dinner with a group of people too like Christmas dinner with co workers or family. read more
