Basta

On the roof terrace at the top of Åhléns department store, Basta serves up a Capri-inspired vibe with authentic Italian food, cocktails and post-work drinks on the outdoor dining area. They serve locally-produced food in the form of antipasti, homemade pasta and Neapolitan pizzas in an urban environment.

This Italian restaurant on the department store's large, bright rooftop has 140 seats. They also have a cocktail bar, which serves refreshing drinks against a backdrop of views over central Stockholm. The "Capri terrace" is protected with a yellow and white-striped awning when the sun's beating down, which is rolled back in the evening so you can enjoy sitting under an open sky.

Inside the restaurant the atmosphere is as Italian as it is outdoors, with wallpaper, photographs and paintings on the walls, patterned sofas, wicker and wood, plants and ceramics. A leafy oasis to hang out in, whether it's for a glass of wine at the bar, a long lunch or dinner in the restaurant.

Food is traditionally Italian, with culinary influences from the Amalfi coast. The menu includes antipasti, Neapolitan pizzas and homemade pasta inspired by Bologna. The aim is to offer a complete Italian culinary experience. Among the drinks on offer you'll find classic drinks such as Aperol Spritz, Italian wines and homemade limonata.

Basta, which has other branches around Sweden, opened their doors in Stockholm in summer 2022.

Åh BASTA! Älskar att gå hit, älskar att beställa in massa göttiga smågrejer till bordet, älskar lemonaden, viben, och att få sitta på en rooftop mitt i stan som känns så långt ifrån innerstadshetsen fast man bara är ovanför den.

Framförallt vill jag slå ett slag för att detta i princip är enda rooftopen man får ha med sin hund till (som jag hittat hittills i alla fall?) 🐶🐶🐶

Servicen är toppen! Alla trevliga, härliga och hjälpsamma.

På menyn har de en pizza som de vunnit Brons i pizza-SM 2019 för, beställ den!! Och en friterad burrata till, SMARR. Kan fortfarande känna smaken av den läskande lemonaden i munnen - hur ofta gör man de? Efter man lämnat ett ställe. Talar för gott betyg. Ett sånt ställe som jag fortsätter komma tillbaka till och gärna tar med besökande vänner till.

If you are in the middle of the city on a weekday and don't know where to go, Basta is definitely the answer!

It is a large premises, which means that there are almost always vacancies. With that said, I still want to emphasize that the restaurant is anything but empty! Feels complete...

Basta är alltid ett säkert kort! Avslappnad atmosfär, bekväma soffor och ett härligt sorl i lokalen. Jag var där på lunch och beställde den veganska bolognesen från à la carte-menyn, riktigt smarrigt 😋

I've only had lunch here and was a little disappointed despite the nice décor. On the menu was risotto and melanzane. I took melanzane and it wasn't bad but also nothing to long for back to.

Update May 2024: now I've visited Basta during noon and actually think it'...

Dinner yesterday with the best Emma & Tessan, at the Italian restaurant Basta, at the top of Åhléns City Stockholm. 🇮🇹🍝🍕🍨 Big cozy room with Italian vibes. Really good Italian menu. Pasta, pizza, risotto, tiramisu, yes everything you would expect in a good Italian. 😋 100's of s...

Mycket bra mat och trevlig personal

Had dinner here on a Wednesday evening, was quickly received by the head waiter and got a seat at the back of the restaurant as I had asked for a seat where it is a little quieter when I booked a table. The restaurant is located at the top of the Åhléns building and they have a roof ter...

Ate a great pizza here. Good vibe, but tough to stand in line and wait. It's great to take the elevator down with one of the staff if åhlens is closed.

I've been here again and eaten pasta. Was very happy with it.

*Besöket var jan 2024

På Åhléns topp finns detta ställe. Det är ett coolt ställe men för mig var det lite för stort, för rörigt service och maten var god. Absolut värt ett besök då man blir tagen av av de vackra por...

Me and my brother had dinner at Basta on Tuesday. The restaurant was pretty much full which is always nice. The room is nice with an open kitchen. Nice porcelain!! I think the service was a bit so so, not great. The staff was absolutely not rude but felt like no one really had control of the situati...

Nice pizza, very meehh. Different service, a bit of a mix of Joe and the juice guy and salesman at Brothers, we 😅 had the food arrived very quickly after ordering, can be very positive or a bit strange! I'll have to test the pasta almost once.

Besökte Basta en lördag och betyget slutar på 3/5. Helt okej, maten var absolut god men inget speciellt. Gillar inredningen och det är väldigt trevligt att dem har öppet kök. Kul som gäst att kunna se vad kockarna lagar. Till förrätt tog vi en chark...

Okay food, but the👎🏼 service You get their drink list after dinner and if you then DO NOT order expensive drinks but just want coffee, you have to go straight away instead to make room for new dinner guests. So obviously rude, so this was the first and last visit!

Har varit nyligen där, beställde oxfile pizza, jag aldrig åt så äckligt pizza, ruccola som topping på den var väldigt sandig, som d va nt tvättade, trångt plats. En liten pizza med mindre ingredinser kostar 245kr.
Rekommenderer INTE.

Located between 3-4. I like it, it's better than totally okay, but is it really 4 🤷 ♀️.
I think it's so lovely to get into a place and it feels like you're as far away from a heated ahlens, or rainy Drottniggtan as you can get. So it is here, the room is colorful and playful and d...

Been here twice now and been just as happy with both visits! I think the environment is very lovely even though I think they should skip the plastic details in the interior, like the lemons and plastic charcuterie that hangs by the kitchen. It makes it look a little less genuine, I think the rest of...

We had lunch at BASTA. The room is cozy and never wrong when it is high up. The service is good. However, the food is disappointing. The risotto was overcooked and didn't think the flavors were that good either. Hope I just had a bit of bad luck with the food.

Maten bra, service usel.

En otrolig fin lokal! En av de finaste restaurangerna jag har varit i. Dock det känns att man betalar för stämning mer än maten. Maten smakade helt okej och kunde ha smakat bättre. Portioner var lagom stora. Om man vill känna av fina lokalen rekommenderar jag att gå...

There's genuine Italian food, thriving cocktails and AW hang out 🍋🍝🍹 I'm really looking forward to coming back this fall and testing their pizza menu! I can warmly recommend the truffle paste. It was magical 😍💭✨

Update - come back to test the truffle pizza. It was nothing sensatio...
