I cannot even begin to say how great this place is. We are from Boston but are getting married in Wilmington. We picked Quanto Basta for our rehearsal dinner and flew down to see the space and try the food. Everything including the service was incredible. Highly recommend the braised short rib and shrimp scampi risottoAmazing for dinner and a private event!! Reina is also incredible to work with we love her

This was a very nice time! We celebrated my sister in laws birthday. She loved it all. The food was tasty, I got the fettucine john something and my fiance got the ribs with gnoochi and carrots. He also got the stuffed pepper appetizer, which, btw was the bomb! Our food was great! I had an amazing glass of red blend wine can't remember the name, which the server recommended to my fiance, so I had to have the same one. Overall, we had an awesome and kind server, his name is Gregory. He was a rockstar and everything came out as it was ordered, no mix ups anddddd everything came out timely. I was impressed as we were a group of 5 adults with more kids than adults. I am also very thankful in the way our whole table was treated with kindness. The kids had a great time too! We will be back!

Food and service were a disappointment. Atmosphere is the only thing worth giving a star which I would give three.Let's start with the service. The waiter while nice, was clueless. He was unable to name any burbons they had for an old fashioned but did assure me that they had "a lot" of bourbon to choose from. My son who was twelve asked about non alcoholic options and the most he could muster from memory was water, which he was holding in his hand and "coke products", of which he could name zero outside of coke. While I'm not asking the guy to name all coke products perhaps memorizing at least two would be helpful given his profession.Lastly for service when asking where the restrooms were he pointed in one direction but then looked in the opposite direction and said "go down that way,the kitchen is on the left, ya know the building is kind of a circle, so if you keep walking you'll find it" then proceeded to tell us the original use of the building from the 1920s. While it was interesting to hear the building used to service cars it would have been more helpful to know where the bathroom was or at least be pointed in the right direction.Started the night with an old fashioned which was too sweet, hummingbirds would have a hard time getting it down.The tagliatelle bolognese was a non issue as there was no sauce in or on the dish, so I'm not even sure I can comment if the sauce was good. I can state however it was not on the pasta I ate. When asking if the kitchen forgot it I was told it was a white wine bolignese.. the only white of that entire meal was the dish it came on.My wife ordered another pasta dish with pesto sauce. I can say that while the dish was green in nature it was otherwise devoid of all taste.The pasta itself was average pasta one might find at the supermarket.My son ordered the chicken parm which was good actually, largely in part due to the chicken rather than sauce or pasta.After reading owner's review it appears his/her only response to various patron's bad expierences is to belittle , dimiss and to victim blame. Upon further review of other lower star reviews it appears a pattern of response from the owner has emerged. One of an infantile, immature and egotistical nature and one designed to prevent improvement. Let me be clear on the matter, I will never visit this establishment ever again.

Quanto Basta was a great choice for a birthday dinner. Reserving the table was easy, and the staff was accommodating when our party of 4 showed up 30 minutes early. The atmosphere was cozy, not over stimulating for the amount of people that were there. I didn’t feel like I had to yell my order for our server to receive it, or yell across the table to communicate to my friends.The food was great, the wine was great. But best of all, was the orange glaze olive oil cake. Get it!

It was our third time in the restaurant and we have always been pleased. My only negative is that the wine list is very limited in white wine by the glass. A few more options would be nice. But we will be back.

Cuanto Basta is located in a great, convenient downtown location. The ambience is elegant. The service could not have been better and the food was delicious and fairly priced. The noise level were we sat was low making conversation easy and comfortable. I'd highly recommend it.

We have been to this restaurant several times and have been pleased. Last night the food was disappointing. The bolognese sauce wasn't that good. There was no flavor to it. Hopefully this was a one off!
