    We shared a charcuterie board that was ample enough for five of us! Great selection of cheeses. Drinks were fabulous! I had the special Sangria, delicious! We all enjoyed our entrees . For dessert we shared the warm butter cake, everyone went crazy for it! I have had it before but no one else had. Our server was attentive but not intrusive, perfect balance. Fantastic experience, thank you Basta for complimentary Lemoncello! We will be back!❤️

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
