"Das italienische Bistro schlechthin: unkompliziert, für jedermann offen und zentral beim Basler Barfüsserplatz gelegen. Die Küche überzeugt mit einfachen Gerichten aus Italien. Osteria-Flair, unkompliziertes Ambiente, schnörkellose Küche all’italiana – das Latini am Basler Barfüsserplatz würde ohne weiteres zu ziemlich jeder Piazza zwischen Turin und Palermo passen. Das gilt genauso für die Gerichte, von Antipasti über die Tagliata di manzo bis zur Panna cotta – und ganz speziell für die Pasta, haus- und handgemacht. Con molto amore!"
