Food was good, went in without a reservation and they found room for us. Was an amazing place even though its on the smaller size but everyone is so friendly even the customers.

There were three of us extremely disappointed. I must say to begin with that the server was great. However we can’t say that about the food. We ordered clams oreganata. It came out with so many small clams it was hard to find any of them and if you did it was the size of a pencil eraser. They dusted them with a corn meal textured bread crumb . It was either soaked by the water in the bowl or dry on some . No flavor mushy and hardly any clams for $15. It was sent back. The main meal of cheese lasagne was so al dente you had to cut it with a steak knife and for some reason the cheese was hard as well. The Basso shrimp dinner was also horrible. Again the angel hair spaghetti was very Al dente . All the ingredients were just dumped on top of it. Not very flavor-able either. The third dinner of salmon was ok but just that. Needless to say we chose not to get dessert. Packed the leftovers for the dogs and spent $91.00 for nothing. Don’t waste your time there.

Always a great dining experience when we go there. Our waitress works very hard and so does the chef for the perfect taste! Recommended. To make reservations in advance. Staff is always polite!

Racism is real at Baso restaurant. I came there 2 weeks ago with 2 friends that were white to have dinner only to find out that they don’t have any room for me. I’m glad I went first myself to get the table. Afterwards I went outside and told my 2 friends go in a see if they will have a table for you. My 2 white friends went in an immediately the lady went in and offered them a table!!!! I will never patronize this restaurant!!!!

the so called ā€œsteakā€ was mystery meat at best, cooked far longer than it should’ve been. fettuccine alfredo was complete liquid and had milk. i would never in my life recommend this to a single soul. the waitress refuses to even give us a discount. they in stead tried to prove us wrong. waitress ignored a friend of mine when she tried calling to figure the situation out. i’d rather eat dog food than come back

Phenomenal day back. It was our first visit since they’ve reopened, we live just a skip and a hop down the road. You can tell they put so much care and detail into reopening. Our waitress was friendly, and explained everything including the wait time on their made-to-order process which we were gladly accepting of.
Started with the Ripieno Pallini, and my goodness I could have eaten a double order of that as a meal alone. Scrumptious, and piping hot when it came to us.
I myself had the Shrimp 390, and my boyfriend had the Veal Valdostano. Both were so fresh when they arrived to us. I nearly finished mine which I always struggle to do but it was just so good! Didn’t have room for desert, but next time!
Manager was friendly, welcoming, and taking feedback graciously. There was a finicky table parallel to us, and she handled it with such grace. I simply cannot wait to return and continue to support a family with a passion. You’ll be seeing us soon!

Went there for our anniversary since it was highly recommended. A group went in and got right in. There was open tables and we got turned away. The lady said there was no more room but there clearly was!!

Myself and 2 family members came here to eat, it was hyped up by some of our coworkers and we were interested in stopping for a while. Oh boy were we wrong about this place, unfortunately the whole dinner was simply disappointing. The server was good, no complaints other then her not being able to tell when your table is unhappy. The atmosphere was actually really cute, they have multiple mini rooms for larger parties and one large dinning room off of their bar. To start off we had a moscato and a red sangria, both were pretty good. We got a stracciatella soup which wasnt the greatest but decent, needed extra cheese. For appatizers we had mozzarella in carrozza , the hot antipasta, and the sausage stuffed mushrooms. The mozzarella that was served was not what the title suggested, its usually a thick layer of cheese between white bread thats all egg battered and fried.....well what we were served had little cheese in the middle, a squished hogie roll, no egg batter, and more cheese thrown on top. The hot antipasta was eh, tasted ok but we got 3Ā  dead muscles out of 6 served to us and the calamari had almost no crisp. The sausage mushrooms were the bottom of the three, and in the end there were taken off our check. The mushrooms themselves had little favor and the filling tasted like it had been in the fridge too long or freezer burnt, while somehow also being mushy. The entrees were also sub par, we ordered a chicken scarpariello, fettuccine michaelangelo, and a burgandy onion soup. The fettachini was made with cream and not egg yolks, and the menu listed panchetta but there were bacon pieces instead. The chicken dish didnt have much flavor other then roasted peppers, you couldn't even taste the sausage, and the chicken while also looking dried out was cooked separately from the dish. The onion soup was decent but again not a dish with much flavor, there was a crustini with blue cheese crumbles and with the cheese the soup was better. We didnt even try dessert, bill was $124. We took the entrees home to add spices to brighten the flavors, we wont be back.

We went for the Easter buffet today. It did not disappoint. The food and service was excellent as usual. Basso is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is always excellent along with the atmosphere. I would highly recommend Basso.
