Food and ambiance are great! Also had an excellent guitarist playing early evening which was is unusual, but very appreciated and enjoyable. Served seemed newer and overly attentive when we first sat down, but no where to be found when we needed to order before attending play.

Erik

Really nice inside. Glad they sat my wife and myself on the side not where the bar is. It's cozier and quiet. Service very pleasant and attentive. Food was excellent. Definitely would go back

Leah

Very good food and atmosphere. Service was uneven and at times absent. Would recommend but only if you have plenty of time and patience for the service.

Eileen

Lovely experience Very loud- high industrial ceiling without any acoustical materials. Wait staff have to shout at you to be heard. Live music is nice but not in this environment. I always ask to sit way in the back or outside. Edson was the perfect waiter as always

Vanessa

The food was scrumptious and the service top level. Celebrated my birthday and was extremely pleased with everything. We will return again and again

Julie

Nonna's Baked Ziti was incredible!! Second time here and will continue to come back time and time again. Absolutely love it!!

Kimberly Cade

Great service from the bartender who made us mocktails to our server who was attentive and pleasant. The ambiance was perfect and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend.

Jules

Beautiful setting. Food was just meh. Told them in advance we were celebrating a birthday and not one thing was done to acknowledge. Over all a disappointing experience. Will try another spot next time.

Joanna

We enjoyed our experience very much. The restaurant is lovely. The service was good. The food was excellent. I had the braised short ribs and they were delicious. I eat every bite. The restaurant is too loud, but other than that our experience was great.

We had a variety. The cheese pizza, the short ribs and the fettuccine. All were excellent as usual. We also had three different desserts. We had the Budino, the Torta and Espresso gelato. I also had a free cannoli because it was my birthday. Again all great. Mike was an excellent server and could answer all of our questions about the menu and the wine selections.

Ted

Great food! Wednesday is half price for a bottle of wine. A very nice perc. Our server and his assistant we're outstanding!

Sage

Great food great service really exceptional time. Highly recommend. Greg is a terrific waiter. My husband had the margarita pizza and I had the Caesar Salad with anchovies and Spaghetti with Sunday sauce. Soooo good. Even the coffee was excellent.

Ken

We always enjoy our time and the food at Quanto Basta. It was a special occasion, a Birthday for my wife, so we were able to be seated in the "Grotto", which is much less noisy than the main area of the restaurant. Our server Katie was exceptional.

Aiden

Absolutely amazing food with great service!! Will dine here again in the near future. Beautiful setting!!!

Last minute decision to go out for an early dinner on NYE. Walked right in amd sat at the bar. Might seem trivial to some, but the bar seats are comfortable enough to enjoy a meal at the bar (many are designed to not be especially comfy, encouraging higher turnover). Bar tenders were good, my wife and I both enjoyed our cocktails and little bit of conversation with them.
Atmosphere was great, music was spot on! (Note: there is a super quiet side if you are over the age of 60.)
Food was excellent. PEI mussels for an app (get the lemon butter sauce!), short rib and fettuccine for entrees. I agree with other reviews about portion size, they could be slightly larger. But in comparison to other dining options, this was WELL WORTH IT! You can certainly get more bang for your buck elsewhere, but then you have to deal with food that isn't as good, and employees who hate/do not know, thier jobs.
Two drinks, one bottle of wine (60), one app, two entrees.
Bill was 154, after tax, before tip.
