BASTA - Italiensk Restaurang Uppsala — Restaurant in Uppsala kommun

We stumbled upon Basta by accident — and we’re so happy we did! The interior decor is absolutely gorgeous, very grand and original, creating wonderful ambiance. The staff were very welcoming and kind, which added to the overall wonderful experience.

We started with their house-made lemonades (lemon & mint, and strawberry & raspberry). Both were delicious and artfully presented — refreshing, balanced, and a perfect way to begin the meal.

For food, we had the bruschetta with burrata cheese, the carbonara, and a Neapolitan pizza. The bruschetta was very tasty, and the addition of the creamy burrata brought an extra richness and freshness that we loved.

The carbonara was absolutely phenomenal - the smell is enough to make you go crazy before you even dig in! And it didn’t disappoint. Creamy and flavorful, with a nice consistency that felt satisfying without being too heavy.

The Neapolitan pizza was nicely done, with a light, airy dough and a wonderfully crisp crust. The flavors were well-balanced, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. It really felt like an authentic Italian pizza.

We also noticed that the dinnerware itself was really nice and authentically Italian, adding to the overall dining experience. Even the backs of the plates had markings showing they were made especially for the restaurant — a lovely touch that adds to the feel of exclusivity (as you can see in the photos).

Overall, this was a fantastic find and a highlight of our trip. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian-inspired food, beautiful ambiance, and warm, attentive service. We can’t...

If you’re looking for a nice bite to eat at a sit-down restaurant in Uppsala, this is the spot. Make a reservation if you want outdoor seating since the view of Domkyrkan is magnificent.

I ordered the salsiccia e formaggio pasta and loved it. What a great combination of ingredients. The creamy cheese sauce, long pasta noodles, spicy salami, fresh ruccola, and walnuts made a rich and satisfying dish with a nice bit of crunch. I also tried the Margherita pizza and it held up against pizza I’ve had in Italy. Very fresh tasting, Neapolitan-style, and perfectly cooked.

It’s also worth paying a little extra to get the focaccia bread. It was so doughy and fluffy, and the perfect addition to any order.

The vibe inside the restaurant is really fun and the service was very friendly and quick. I highly recommend...

We dined there as a group (had a reservation), service at the beginning was amazing, got the menus immediately and got our food quickly as well. The food was amazing, everyone was satisfied with the portion sizes and the flavours (the spicy nudja pizza was especially tasty). What we weren’t satisfied with was that after they took away all of our plates, we still weren’t given a dessert menu even tho they were walking around us/serving other tables around us, they did not stop to ask if we needed anything else. We had to make intense eye contact to get someone to notice us (while the table of four next to us got the dessert menu before they even took their plates away). The person handling our cheque was very nice tho so she...
