The Basta experience has been a Rhode Island tradition for over 35 years. What can we say?
(1246)

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.

Meet our newest bartender! Joey has spent a lifetime in restaurants, serving everyone from John F. Kennedy Jr to Dr. Dre, collecting some incredible stories along the way.

After years in NY and LA, working at legendary restaurants, Joey eventually returned home to RI and we’re thrilled to now have him behind the bar at Basta.

He loves everything wh***ey or bourbon, and favors a classic cocktail or great w**e. So, if you like your bourbon neat or great bar stories, you know where to find him!
