Basta - Boulder

Not really italian, a bit out of the way, but really excellent eating. the brot with burrata and the pizzas were amazing. the salads were great. as we are from new orleans, the otopus was underwhelming, and the shortribs were really not $70 worthy of delicious. yet a special place with large servers.

LOVE Basta. The pizzas are fantastic. The plain lemon, olive oil and lettuce salad is great. The half chicken is outstanding. We love the atmosphere and the food! We live in Dallas and go to Basta every time we're in Boulder.

Dinner was delicious with everything cooked in the fireball in the kitchen according to our waiter, the stone oven. 1/2 chicken was crispy on all the skin, pizza perfect and sweet peas smokey. Campfire vanilla not to be missed ice cream for dessert!

This place has only one wood burning stove. no conventional ofen in restaurant. that makes it all delicious.

Basta was amazing! great personal, great eating. we have to start the burrata and the brot, that was delicious and a certain highlight. then we had a nice fresh salad, followed by a daisy pizza. the standout was the hugging, which was crispy and tender and pretty spirit bleeding. beautiful atmosphere, but strange location in the middle of an apartment complex. we will definitely be back! really good food and wee.
