“ Best Pasta in Basel ”
“ Little peace of land of Italy. The restaurant is small due it is sharing its place with an Italian shop as well but during the summer this is not a problem as the terrace provides enough space. The food is very delicious however the selection is minimal. Noticeable they have returning customers whom they treat like friends. There are some parking space next to the restaurant so that can’t be the problem. The beer is a little bit pricey however delicious and curiousness. ”
“ The best pasta I've eaten in a very very long time! This place is a gem. It's so good I even feel a bit protective of it and I'm writing this review a bit reluctantly: I don't want anyone else to know about it! Oh, and the panettones are absolutely delicious! Look for them around Xmas and Easter. ”
“ Very authentic Italian dishes, haven't been there in person yet so can't say about the inside. But from the 3-4 deliveries I had none of the dishes disapointed, good portion as well. Would recommend to try the place out :) ”
“ We just called in for two cappuccini but all the takeaway items looked delicious. We didn't know if someone would come out to us - we were sitting inside the sort of tent in front of the main shop. In the end, I went in and ordered. The coffees were nice and hot. There was a bit of kerfuffle when I went to pay as the sign said they preferred contactless payment and I wanted to pay in CHF but hit the wrong button so it came up GBP. The gentleman behind the counter was patient and we got there in the end. ”
