Basta The Basta experience has been a Rhode Island tradition for over 35 years. What can we say?
(1258)

When “Basta Restaurant and Gourmet Shop” opened its doors in 1989, the goal was ambitious: To create a combination of food, service and atmosphere that struck the perfect balance of what a complete, authentic Italian dining experience should be. Over these past 25 years, locals have become regulars and traveling foodies have raved. We are flattered, grateful and more than ever, determined to exceed your expectations.
