Nice restaurant. Self-service, but all freshly cooked. Pizza, pasta, salad - a wide variety of specialities, nice concoctions, nicely presented and up to now always tasty.

I was there many times and noticed how bad the customer service is. It didn't bother me too much until one incident made me never return. I had to wait 40 minutes for a pizza, in the end they made a different one than the one I have ordered so I didn't want to take it. The person from pizza... More

As a Basilean, I come here very often. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, the staff at bar and the cashiers are very friendly. I think when people complain about the staff being unfriendly, they usually mean the chefs and I agree that most chefs come across as stressed out and unfriendly. The salad, pasta, pizza and desserts are... More

Vapiano is a chain restaurant serving Italian food. Having been a number of times, pizza and pasta are generally good and fresh with reasonable prices for Basel. As a self service establishment, if busy you can be left standing for 10 minutes or so before being able to order which is slightly annoying. This isn't helped by not all the... More

The modern and pleasant ambience can surprise you, but take a deeper look and the high seats can come across as a little uncomfortable for a prolonged time. The idea of card billing, remote signals when order is ready etc do provide a novel feeling. What could have been better is the taste. True Italian taste is not what you... More

I have often been to the Vapiano for lunch and like their pizzas. They also do pasta and salads and the place is not expensive by Basel standards. The restaurant is spacious and has an informal, friendly lounge like atmosphere and can accommodate groups. It does however get very crowded during lunch time.

The food was good, but they used too much dressing on the salads we had. The restaurant was clean with a good athmosphere.
