Reviews of Basta

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 completely full despite vacant places - a completely normal Monday in September. An extra big plus is of course the large outdoor seating area, which is perfect for a drink in the sun during the summer months.

In addition to the venue, which is also cozy and colorful, the location is spot-on - at the top of Åhléns, close to every public transport you can imagine.

The staff was super nice, and the prices absolutely reasonable! The food was good, my friend who ate the pasta was super happy and my white pizza was great except that on some surfaces it was unfortunately burnt which pulls down the rating somewhat, but can definitely order the same again.

On the other hand, the Sheriff

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's much better then. Especially the starters get a thumbs up.

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 seats in the restaurant. Outdoor seating in the summer. Something constructive would be to spice up the truffle pasta. Really good but didn't look so fun. Well worth a visit! Really good but the wow feeling was missing for a 5.

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 terrace there that is open in the summer (I have to go there then!!)

The environment in the restaurant is so damn nice, you get
Totally warm from the décor! A real Italian bistro feeling 😍, so nice porcelain and everything.

The kitchen is located next to the restaurant and you got to see when they make their pasta and bake the pizzas ☺️

It was a three-course meal so for starters we had their carpaccio and macaroncini. It was good but the macaroncini wasn't that fun, felt doughy and the macaroni was overcooked so it was almost just a batter of everything 😅

For the main course we had their paradiso pollo and truffle pasta. And damn they were so good, creamy, flavorful, the pasta was not al dente which I like as I can think they get too hard sometimes. It was perfectly cooked!

For dessert we had tiramisu and lemon sundae. The tiramisu was really good, a lot of coffee in it and good zabaionn cream. It's rare that I'm satisfied with tiramisu at restaurants so I was really happy that it was so good! Lemon sundae, such a cool arrangement! A twist of lemon meringue pie with lemon sorbet, creamy lemon filling and biscuits in the bottom. Incredibly tasty! 😍

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 porslinet och inredningen.

Saknade dock det där lilla extra (parmesanost, salt-och pepparkvarn, olivolja och chiliolja.

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 situation.

We started by sharing a tuna tartare and a carpaccio. We both thought carpaccio was the best! Then we shared a truffle pasta and a seafood pasta. The pasta was very good, a bit al dente which I love! The truffle taste was good and clear. The seafood pasta was also good but tasted mostly tomato sauce unfortunately. We finished the dinner with a Black Mamba and a Lemon Sundae. Black Mamba was too sweet for my taste but if you take a pastry with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce you have only yourself to blame, haha. But Sundae was really good and fresh!

I rate it 3/5. I can definitely see myself going back this summer and having a drink on the roof terrace or a pasta!!

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 charkbricka att dela på. Riktigt najs tillbehör och goda ostar. Varmrätt blev tryffel pastan och raviolin. Om du är tryffel älskare ta pastan! Riktigt bra tryffelsmak och gott med marconamandlar på för chrunch. Blev förvånansvärt överraskad. Stämningen var väldigt bra, bra musik som varken var för hög eller låg. Personalen var väldigt bemötande och trevliga. Ett minus var att vi fick varm öl men de fixade dem när vi sade till.👍🏼 Till efterrätt delade vi på deras tiramisu och pistage panacotta. Lite väl mycket grädde för min smak men goda. Gick härifrån mätt och belåten.

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 does not miss any details. It is a warm and happy room with a nice terrace and comfortable furniture. We were here one summer day and got a seat on the terrace.

All the staff were nice but it was very difficult to know who was our waiter, because there were many who arrived and another who came with food, confusing and nothing I prefer. There were many drinks on the menu and I was recommended one (can't remember what it was called), I asked if it was very sweet as I don't prefer it, but it wouldn't be... Well it was so cute I didn't even drink it up.

The food was great! We shared both pizza, pasta and small picks and thought that everything was good, really good (even charcuterie that did not come in the picture).

Would like to go here again and hope that it will be a more clear 4a.

The children were given crayons and painting blocks, always appreciated.

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 the décor is so beautiful! Love the outdoor seating, nice tables and sunbaths and beautiful cushions and parasols. It's fun to have a place that dares to go all in on the décor. Last time I was here I had a truffle pizza with whipped ricotta that was incredibly good! I think their pizzas are very good. Bellinin is incredible too! I also think the service is good. It's not a place I would book a table to go out and eat but it's great as a Friday lunch place on a summer day on the outdoor terrace!

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.

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 dit. Men om man vill äta riktig italiensk mat är Basta kanske inte första valet.

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.

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 sensational. Recommend choosing the pasta!
