My partner and I had a great time here celebrating a post-Valentine's dinner. We ordered their warm prosciutto wrapped appetizer special, chicken stroganoff, bacon-infused meatloaf (w/gruyere mashed potatoes), and pumpkin sundae dessert. I, as well, ordered one of their mocktails, the sage advice. None of the dishes--nor my drink--were disappointing aside from a couple small personal preferences. The value was overall quite good too considering the food, services, and atmosphere; our total came to around $110 after tip. Speaking of the service, our waitress was very attentive and helpful, as were the others milling about. They were consistent in checking in after food was delivered and kept us updated on when we could expect our next round. We will definitely consider going back in the future!

Excellent food and service. The Cranston RI location stands out above other Tavern locations.

Last night was the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had! The ambiance at Basta was incredible. The amount of care and attention that went into the decor was second to none! The roses hanging from the ceiling was stunning! Now, let’s talk about the meal, four course prefixed menu for two people and only 150.00!! Are you kidding? The choices were fantastic and the plates came out of the kitchen looking like masterpieces . I had the pistachio encrusted cod with beet gnocchi, fantastic! My guy had flank steak over mashed with vegetables, the meat was cooked beautifully. Our wait staff Alex took great care of us! Can’t wait to go back!

I dined with friends for Lunch. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Sandwich with fresh greens...it was delicious, the sauce was not overwhelming the bread was so tasty and the chicken cooked perfectly. One diner ordered a salad with shrimp and raved about it. Our other friend ordered Chicken Milanese which looked delicious and was very good according to her. For dessert they ordered and split a chocolate torte with coffee chunk ice cream and it was to die for. Our server was wonderful, the place was fairly full for a weekday at noon and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend it since it was such a nice experience

As always. Food was delicious and service was perfect
