Elizabeth MichaelOctober 19, 2018The service was amazing. Just next level. We did the tasting with drink pairing and that was super fun. The tasting ranged from wine to cocktails. Just delicious.

EaterJanuary 28, 2013Basta is a wood fired eatery that dishes out a variety of items from handmade pastas and Neapolitan pizzas to oysters and hearty dishes like short ribs cooked sous vide. [Eater 38 Member]
Cynthia DivinoNovember 3, 2017I had the dandelion salad which was deliciously flavorful and had delightful texture. My companion had the duck comfit which was wonderful. The pizza looked amazing!- The Daisy pizza is deliciously addictive and always a faithful standby but Basta never disappoints with their local, market fresh specials like their latest Summer pasta with pea pesto
Bread, burrata and roasted garlic was amazing. 1/2 chicken was satisfying. Wood fired pizzas are delish.
Steve McDanielSeptember 8, 2015Tough to find but worth the search. Great servers and food. Flatbread yum. Nice beers. Good desserts #hotelguyfl
Benjamin BlackmerJanuary 14, 2018Woah. Delicious. Get the fancy garlic bread. That was awesome. Service far exceeded expectations. Pizza was outstanding.
Monika KunzSeptember 6, 2014Nice cocktails, good pizza, amazing/creative appetizers. A favorite for a Sunday evening.
- DenverPostAugust 12, 2011Traditional authentic Italian pizza joint, but the strive for authenticity leaves mixed results with the pizzas. Try the "Daisy" pizza. Mains $7-$32; pizza $10-$15; apps $6-$16. "See more for review": Read more
Thaddeus KramerJune 6, 2019They can make items on the menu gluten free. Pizza is one of those choices that can be made with no gluten.
Für ImmerMarch 11, 2012The s'mores are fantastic. Try the Daisy with prosciutto added. The lasagna is creamy and superb.- DenverPostJuly 8, 2011Smart, energetic pizza joint. Chef Kelly Whitaker and his team make excellent pizzas. Entrees $10-$20. "More Info" for review: Read more

Colin LohseJuly 13, 2011Ask for Jordan, tell him you want "The Motorboating Special," and prepare for a wild ride!
The vanilla ice cream tastes like smoked pork. You won't be disappointed.
Chris PundAugust 9, 2011Calzones were not bad, definitely better places in the area for pizza or italian food. Small limited menu.
