Pasta e Basta

As a big fan of Italian food, I was very excited to try Pasta e Basta for the first time.Ambiance: Somehow this place felt like home to me. Its so quiet, the furniture is really nice and the atmosphere is kinda peaceful. Food: The appetizer called La Scarpetta was surprisingly good. We chose the bolognese one and it was so tasty! Must try. I had the Paccheri Al Tre Pomodoro which is one of their main dishes and in my opinion, it was ok! The sauce was really fresh but in general I was not impressed by it. My husband had the Carbonara and it was great. Both pastas were perfectly cooked. For dessert we had the Basque Cheesecake and I loooved it. Delicious! Service: Even though we didnt have a reservation, the staff were able to accomodate us which I think its always nice. Overall the experience was good. I'd say thats the perfect spot for a cute date night.

Stopped in for lunch - first off, the aesthetic of this adorable restaurant is to die for. Gorgeous neutral tones, fabulous interior design, extremely comfortable seating. Secondly, the kindest wait staff and the most patient - eager to ensure you have the best visit possible.The pasta was FANTASTIC. Handmade onsite, eat bite was scrumptious and extremely filling. Anticipate a major food coma at the end! The lunch special allows you to choose any pasta, dessert, and coffee for one price - highly recommend! Mon-Friday, 12-3Reservation suggested, but not required at lunch.

The restaurant features a small indoor seating area and a cozy patio. Despite its size, the interior is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and homey atmosphere.The staff was very professional and took excellent care of us, even without a reservation.However, the food left something to be desired. The portions were quite small, which was disappointing. While the ambiance was exquisite, it would be even better if the portion sizes were more generous.

I was expecting great pasta but I was wrong, the restaurant is quaint and the service is great but the meatballs were not tasty and came out lukewarm, the pasta dishes were simply average.

I visited this restaurant a couple of months ago with a friend, we were around Wynwood and were craving pasta and we thought it was a good time to try this place. We started with some rosé and the server brought us some bread. The rosé was refreshing and the bread was ok. We went directly for what we came for which was pasta. I ordered the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe, and it was creamy but a little too greasy. I thought it was a small portion but I couldn't even finish it. My friend ordered the Tagliatelle allá Bolognese and she loved it! It looked small too but she couldn't finish it either! For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, and that one was a big wow! Delicious! The best one I have ever tried! Creamy with the right coffee amount, so so good! The restaurant was welcoming and not too loud so it was a perfect place to have dinner, wine, and a nice conversation!

One of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to in a while! Paste e Basta is so cozy and well decorated, the interior is warm and welcoming and the back patio is great as well. I would come back just for the ambiance! Perfect for a date night.Our server was also extremely patient, as we were a larger group and took our time ordering. The food was delicious and all of the pasta was homemade. Will certainly be back!

The food is hit or miss. I feel that some of the places are really good, but some are missing flavor. However, the tiramisu and gelato are amazing. But it's too expensive overall. Now, I find it very disrespectful to charge 18% tip for a table of 2. Tip is earned not taken. There is a good staff, the server is good, there's no need to make customers feel robbed when the bill comes. Finally, they let people come in with dogs and have them sit at the table. Why do I need to eat with a dog at the next table, in an expensive restaurant? In what world are we living in? This was my 2nd time here and I will not return.

I came here with a few friends after one saw an Insta post of their tagliatelle Bolognese. A group of us started the long weekend by finally meeting up for dinner Friday.Getting there first - I know, a rarity - I waited at the bar while enjoying a glass of "Vigna Senzanome" moscato. With it not being overly sweet and having a hint of sparkling in it, even one of my dining companions who's not a moscato fan said she enjoyed it. After we secured our spot in the outside patio (there's also a cozy inside dining room), we started with their fluffy bread and olive oil. The bread was also a table favorite. I don't believe they had balsamic vinegar though. My choice of appetizer was their pork meatballs. Served in a smoky pomodoro sauce and with more pieces of the yummy bread, this dish was a star. Heck, I shared it on my insta immediately!Likewise with the star of the show, the dish that brought me here: the Tagliatelle a la Bolognese. The noodles had a great texture, just a dash beyond al dente, and the yummy ground pork & ragu sauce were very well prepared. As we were eating family style, this dish was another fave around the table.The reason my review drops to 3 stars is alas also because we ordered family style. One of my friends ordered their rigatoni a la carbonara. Sampling it, I agreed with her that the pork was a little too salty for everyone's taste. The original "requester" even had to send it back. In contrast, the 4-cheese gnocchi was lacking in flavor. However, the red sauce ravioli that made up a friend's order was another saving grace.I enjoyed both desserts we tried: the creamy and smooth basque cheesecake as well as the fig tart.A minor pet peeve was the water. We have our own organic tap water from Hialeah that even the major commercial bottled water companies use. Why we have to pay $8 for "Acqua Panna" even though they have tap water (brought after our bill) was annoying. Also, I am not sure if even with a reservation, but typically you have 90 minutes per seating. I understand it with the space being cozy, just "hurry up". Of course, there's also an 18% automatic tip, although they do split the check,In summary, it earned a spot on my placeholder list for now. If we had stuck to their red sauce dishes this review would have certainly been higher!

I had been looking for an Italian spot in Miami for a while for a bday dinner that does easy reservations. I am so glad that I went for Pasta E Basta.The reservation was for 11 people and they were so accommodating . The table was so spacious and we sat outdoors.The food was delicious ! The pasta was cooked just right. The tiramisu was the best I've had here ! The service was excellent they checked in so many times asking if everything was okay .The prices were reasonable. I had a lovely birthday dinner here. It is located in Midtown.A great spot for photos as well. Easy street parking.I am definitely coming back here . A great pasta find in Miami.

When you first walk into the restaurant, at first glance it seems like a tiny place with only a few tables, but they actually have a whole outdoor section as well. The ambiance is beautiful, romantic, and nice. To start I had a glass of rosé and the complimentary bread and oil. I tried a pasta dish off the chefs recommendations (pomodori) and although it was good, it tasted like pasta I could get from anywhere else. Same with the spaghetti pomodoro. We finished our water halfway through the meal and asked for a refill which we didn't get, so we were quiet thirsty but other then that our server was polite, maybe he was just busy. Not pictured : tiramisu and mango sorbet. The tiramisu was delicious and tasted strong of coffee (perfect for coffee lovers) and the mango sorbet tasted like an authentic mango! Very fresh and delicious! The prices of the dishes were reasonable considering this is Miami and the aesthetic is upscale.
