Basta Pasta offers a mixed dining experience. The wine list is extensive but lacks variety by the glass. The famed uni pasta is creamy but lacks flavor, while the cheese wheel pasta is underwhelming. Adding extra pepper helped, but more salt and acidity were needed. The restaurant has a first date ambiance. The seafood dishes like seafood Nero pasta and spaghetti with roe are fresh and delicious, with tender scallops and non-chewy squid. The vegetable medley was decent, but could use more variety. Some dishes like the Tagliolini pasta were just okay. There were some billing issues, but the servers were polite and professional.
