Go! MagazineMarch 29, 2013Basso is a sharp-looking space with some food and service annoyances to remedy. The bistro-pub options are, at their best, interesting and creative and lip-smackingly satisfying. (Evan S. Benn) Read more
Riverfront TimesOctober 7, 2013Voted Best Power Lunch in RFT's Best of STL 2013. You should go with the potato gnocchi, but you really can't go wrong with anything here. http://bit.ly/1eKs57r
Papardelle - braised lamb, star anise, orange zest, dark chocolate, and pecorino. #bassostl #24hourfoodgeek Follow us at http://24hourfoodgeek.com
- Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014The “McDowell’s Golden Arcs,” with speck, delicata squash and Fontina, is a standout pizza. Among the pastas, try the mafalda. Read more

Jess UnavailableAugust 8, 2013Great date spot. Too romantic for words. How do people actually work in this overwhelmingly gorgeous atmosphere?- Truffle fries - gremolata, Parmesan, ketchup, and aioli. #bassostl #24hourfoodgeek Follow us at http://24hourfoodgeek.com
- Brussel sprouts - mustard and candied walnuts. #bassostl #24hourfoodgeek Follow us at http://24hourfoodgeek.com
Catherine LMarch 30, 2015food is actually delicious. However, they shouldn't take 8:30 reservations only to tell customers they have to order all food & drinks by 8:45 & be out by 9 & keep asking "are you done yet?"
Jana InmanMay 17, 2013Very cool atmosphere; a winding staircase to underground, great smelling, warm industrial cellar. Menu will not disappoint !! I will be back!
Ankoor ShahApril 26, 2015Great asparagus for appetizer and Pizza for entrée. You can customize your own.
Anke RuwetteMarch 7, 2015Perfect for an evening full of food sharing! Tip get the couch at the fireplace
Pizza is amazing! They don't let you customize them but trust their instincts!- The outdoor area is SOOO buggy. Come prepared to eat and be eaten.
- Scott BurnsMarch 11, 2013Park on street to avoid having to pay for Valet. That said, seems like a swell joint.
Nancy AckenhausenApril 13, 2013The pizza here is seriously like tasteless wet cardboard. I'd come here only to drink.
