    The pasta and Bolognese was great as usual. The risotto Milanese was horrible, bland, tasteless. It tasted like the rice was added to a cream reduction with absolutely no seasoning including just adding some salt. The shrimp were tough as were the sea scallops. I like trying different dishes, but I guess I have to stick with the basics at Basta Pasta.

    When we arrived the restaurant was not very busy - maybe five or six tables. Our server finally appeared. The wait for salad was way too long - and the entrée took almost 30 minutes to arrive. At that point, most of the tables were gone. We FINALLY flagged the waiter down and got our check. I would recommend Basta Pasta to my friends if they had a LOT OF TIME TO KILL. We have been going there for years - this was the worst.

    Basta Pasta is always good. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. The owner, Mike, is usually on hand to meet and greet, and his staff is professional and efficient. Great for celebrations, date night or a quick meal, too.

    The food was very bland, not very good for the cost. Large portions, it was just not very good. Party of 5 adults and 2 toddlers (both age 2) bill was over $300 and they charged us 20% gratuity for a party of 6 or more because of the 2 toddlers. Which we would have gladly paid anyway but it seemed very forced. Place was almost empty. Lots of staff standing around talking. Just not a good overall experience.

    Me and my Fiancee was very pleased with the service at Basta Pasta and the food, the only thing that could make Basta Pasta a 4 Star review for cooking critics I to have a new decor other than that we were very pleased and satisfied and have already recommended our friends to eat at Basta Pasta

    We enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's dinner. Everything came out at a fast speed and the staff was incredibly friendly. I'm not a fan of "too much" pasta, and Basta Pasta gives just the right portion size. Scallops were delicious and the shrimp was fantastic. We will be back!

    We had reservations for 7:30 and arrived at 7:23. We weren’t seated until 8:02 only after I complained to the host about people being seated before us. The host was very rude and then within 5 minutes we were seated in the bar section. It was very loud and not romantic for a Valentines dinner. The food and our server were excellent however.

    We have been going there since it opened. Food always good. Service up and down. However the last few times have been outstanding. Flora waited on us on Valentine’s Day which is a stressful day in itself because it was packed. She went above and beyond. We decided we will now definitely come more often

    Basra Pasta is always a hit for us! My husband had veal piccata. The veal was tender and delicious. I had shrimp and scallops in a butter sauce over Angel hair pasta. The shrimp and scallops were large but still tender. We also always enjoy the house salad and dressing served with the meal.

    Had reservations for 6:00pm on New Years Eve. Loads of people and noise. Almost lost my table because the hostess was calling names so softly and not to all of us waiting. Then we have a table for 4 and waiting for friends to arrive (parking that night was horrendous) and manager comes to our table and says at 6:01 , is your party coming because "we're really busy" I think he was going to move us to a smaller table. Server was great! But the restaurant was not prepared for the crowd and manager seemed panicked!

    Absolutely wonderful experience! Dinner on a Saturday evening at Basta Pasta in Fallston was great. The seafood risotto was prepared perfectly - creamy, well seasoned and the perfect amount of seafood. My dining partner had the salmon and spinach with cream sauce over pasta and ate every bite. Service was steady and well timed. Our server was extremely pleasant and professional. Managers walked through to greet customers and asked about our meal which contributed to the positive experience. One of my favorite restaurants that never disappoints!

    This was my first time visiting this location. We have previously dying in the location that was formerly located in Perry Hall and I always enjoyed ourselves there. We had a large group of 21 for a family Christmas dinner and all of the staff was very accommodating and friendly. We were well taken care of, no one had any complaints. Food was fresh and fastly prepared considering how many of us there were. Would definitely recommend coming here for another family gathering or even a small dinner with you and a loved one. You should definitely try the caramel apple Moscow Mule you will not be disappointed.

    Meat sauce was so think it wouldn’t stick to the spaghetti. It had more the consistency of vey chunky chili. We asked for some tomato sauce and was give a 1/4 cup amount for a bowl of spaghetti.
