Basta Pasta Eldersburg

Went here for a weekday lunch. So delicious! The complimentary bread was exceptional. Enjoyed the chicken marsala and roasted potatoes, generous portions. Fresh salad too. Excellent service.

We have been here more times than I can count, and not once have we had a bad experience. The drinks are awesome, the food is incredible, the cheesecake is to die for.. I could go on. I'm even in love with the music.. I mean any place that plays Sam Cooke is alright in my book!

This place has a great menu! Their crab dishes are some of the best in the area! Staff is friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. My first visit and I'll definitely be back. This will be a frequent favorite.

The food and service were fantastic! Definitely worth a visit. The live music on Friday night was a nice touch. One recommendation for the restaurant is to explain that cake slices on the dessert menu are enormous and serve 2-3 people per slice. That combined with the whopping $12 price tag per slice makes for a nasty surprise when someone gets their dinner bill and sees a charge for $24 for 2 slices of cake. This should be made clear by waitstaff to patrons when ordering dessert. Two slices of cake fed the 6 people at our table for dessert well. This was our second time, so I was aware of the charges, but the first time I was quite displeased at the surprise. It felt very misleading the first time, like an underhanded upcharge without our knowledge. Both times, we were not told in advance how large the desserts were or that they were $12 each.

First off the food was amazing, from appetizers to dessert. My steak was cooked to perfection. And Garry, our server, was very personable, knowledgeable and attentive. He timed everything perfectly, which I don't experience too often when lots of food is ordered. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening and I highly recommend giving this place a whirl if you are looking for a new Italian restaurant to try!
