I took 10 peoples after the funeral and service was great,discret and the food was very good...we got there one hour early and they let us sit on the patio...ithey were opening at 4 h30...

We were a party of four and had an 8:00pm reservation on a Saturday night. We arrived a little early and they thanked us and said our table would be available shortly and requested we sit outside on the rear patio by the fireplace.It was very comfortable and we could have lingered there all night. I am sure it will... More

Been there twice now and everything we've had has been great! The Vongole, which is a thin crust clam pizza is awesome, fettucine fra diavolo, salmon, and the desserts are so tasty and well cooked. Bartenders are fantastic and the rennovation is absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to dine al fresco when the weather is warmer. Great change from the Bast... More

Our neighbors, who are long time friends along my wife and I visited Basta on Saturday 4-7-13 at 7:30PM. Since we have no reference point as to the former Basta (having never dined at the old Basta) this is my impression. The décor is very nice and it's obvious the owners have spent considerable time and money to make this... More

Just returned from Easter dinner at the newly remodeled and re-opened Basta in Pawtuxet. Great new decor - bright and welcoming, including an impressive tiled fireplace for firing pizzas - the aroma of wood-smoke greets you as you enter. Excellent service from pleasant, patient wait staff (particularly since my mother chose to be 40 minutes late for our reservation, as... More

Menus were delivered promptly, as were the drinks, but we had to repeatedly ask for bread. The butter was so very hard it must have been frozen, not refrigerated. The veal was so very delicious (and huge... More

My husband and I decided to try something new- Basta recently reopened after a 2 yr renovation. New owners, new executive chef. The inside is gorgeous and has a beautiful new bar. Unfortunately the service & food were awful. I'm not sure what was happening in the kitchen, but our appetizer never came out, the bartender seemed on edge- she... More

I was so glad to see Basta reopen after over a year of waiting. The new decor is pretty and open, with a long bar and mosaic pizza oven. I've been three times since it reopened (once for takeout). Servers seem to be still finding their way, as I found the service slow but friendly. We've tried several pasta dishes... More

We knew that Basta had recently opened up after being renovated so we checked it out. The place looks amazing, like something that should be up on federal hill. The service was great, coat check and very attentive wait staff. We ordered drinks, had some bread and several appetizers all of which were phenomenal, I highly recommend the meatballs and... More
