Basta Italian Restaurant Menu Prices

by

Italian classics, including pizzas from a wood-fired oven, in stylish quarters with outdoor seating.

Since we opened our doors in 1989 many things have changed; we’ve updated the menus, undergone a renovation, and added more staff to our Basta family. Still, our commitment to fresh, authentic Italian food has always been the same. In fact, we work to improve each and every day to continually dazzle our guests.

So whether you enjoy our fresh, hand-cut pasta, local day-caught seafood, a signature veal chop or a Neapolitan pizza from Rhode Island’s first-ever VPN certified restaurant, we are sure you will never have “enough” of Basta!
