“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Basta, and it was a truly wonderful experience. It's not often you find a restaurant that can impress a diverse group including my wife, my mother, and my mother-in-law, but Basta did so with ease.

We started our meal with a selection of appetizers that set a high bar for the rest of the evening. The burrata was incredibly fresh and creamy, a perfect complement to the rich, smoky flavor of the olives. But the real star was the focaccia bread—warm, airy, and with just the right amount of salt, it was impossible to stop at just one piece.

For our main courses, we chose two pizzas and a vegetable dish. The zucchini was a fantastic addition, with the fresh, crisp vegetable elevated by the vibrant basil romanesco and the satisfying crunch of the breadcrumbs. The clam pizza was a delightful surprise, with the briny clams and a hint of lemon perfectly balanced against the smoky, blistered crust from the wood-fired oven. The Daisy pizza was a testament to the restaurant's philosophy of using high-quality ingredients; simple yet perfect, with a wonderfully flavorful tomato sauce and creamy mozzarella.

To finish our meal, we decided to indulge in all of their desserts, and we were not disappointed. Each one was a perfect ending to our dinner. The Campfire vanilla ice cream had a unique, smoky sweetness that was balanced by the vibrant and refreshing orange and beet sorbet. The sweet corn ice cream was an unexpected and delicious highlight, while the rich chocolate budino with pistachio butter was pure decadence. And of course, the donuts were a warm, fluffy, and perfect final touch.

Basta’s combination of a warm, inviting atmosphere and truly incredible food made for a special and memorable night. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall great experience. We left feeling completely satisfied and already talking about when we could return. I highly recommend Basta for any occasion, whether it's a date night or a special family gathering.

Special thank you to Suzanne and Chef Alex for creating such a special evening.“

“Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We were very eager to come try this boulder location, it did not disappoint. The sweet potato is reasonably to come all on its own. We also had the agua chile, the coconut ceviche which is what dreams are made from, the pork and ribeye tacos.

My only critique is that tequila list is not made to be read in a dilly lit restaurant 😆“

As soon as a table left they got it ready right away for the next customers. The managers pitched in with their team. And the food was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back.“

The Jasmine Bar Cocktail Bar • $$
836 1/2 Main St, Louisville - 7.75 miles

“What a find! The Jasmine Bar in downtown Louisville is the kind of place you stumble upon once — and immediately start planning your return.

Tucked into a charming courtyard, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and totally relaxing. It’s the perfect spot for a date night, catch-up with friends, or just treating yourself to a great drink in the sunshine.

The cocktail menu is seriously impressive — with both inventive house creations and elevated takes on the classics. Every drink we tried was thoughtful, balanced, and beautifully made. Bonus points for the live music and the option to rent out the courtyard for private events!

If you’re exploring Louisville or just want to discover a new favorite patio bar, The Jasmine Bar should absolutely be on your list.“
