BASTA!

This place delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The ambience is simply stunning — warm lighting, beautiful interiors, and a calm, elegant vibe that feels both cozy and upscale. The service was absolutely impressive — attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the whole evening. As for the food… just wow. 🍝🍕 The dishes taste exactly like you’re in Italy — authentic, rich in flavor, and made with high-quality ingredients. The truffle pizza and creamy pasta were standouts! Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but the overall experience is totally worth it. Perfect for a special night out or a memorable dinner. Highly recommended!

Beautiful classy & just perfect for a special occasion or casual drinks. The food, wine & aperol was devine as was the service. But what made this place outstanding was the special dessert created for me & my husband’s special celebration, which we only mentioned in passing to the waiter, yet they took the hat and made it absolutely memorable 🥰🥂we will most definitely be back Basta 🥳🎉 The Friday $99 2 drinks & antipasti is great value & the Aperol Spritz are delicious and generous.

Had a wonderful dinner at Basta! The Taglioni Prawns was absolutely incredible – one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The pizza was fresh and well-made, though it didn’t wow me as much as the pasta. The cocktail I ordered was fantastic – perfectly balanced, refreshing, and paired beautifully with the meal. The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the evening. The food showcased rich Italian flavors with a modern touch. They also have live singing, which added a lovely touch to the atmosphere, making the whole experience even more enjoyable and vibrant. A special thank you to Shubham, our waiter, who was exceptionally attentive, polite, and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening. His warm and personal service truly elevated our experience, making us feel genuinely welcomed and valued.

So delicious! We have had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here and it’s always delicious and fresh. Everything is halal and they’re open until midnight, making it a perfect spot for late night munchies if you’re staying at the St. Regis.

Exceptional food, salmon is definitely worth trying! The pasta is also delicious and the atmosphere is buzzing with laughs, the staff were very nice. a great place for food and drinks… the food only took 20 minutes to come and the wait was definitely worth it.

It was such a wonderful experience — lovely Italian food and an amazing vibe! You must try the homemade pasta and pistachio gelato. Absolutely delicious! Beyond that, Hadib (hope I got his name right) was truly fantastic — very knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and so well-mannered. Definitely one of the best services I’ve experienced in Dubai. Staff like him make a real difference, and Basta should be proud to have him representing their guest experience. Grazie! 🇮🇹

Thank you so much, Mr. Habib. His service and hospitality were truly the best of the best. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Having worked in the service industry myself, I can honestly say—he is exceptional. I learned a lot from him. I’m already looking forward to seeing him again soon! All the staffs are so nice and food is tasty. Highly recommended !!!!!

This restaurant is simply magnificent! The view of the canal is beautiful, especially in the evening when the soft lights are reflected in the water. And there is live music here, creating a unique atmosphere of coziness and romance. Tasting exquisite dishes, I experienced a gastronomic ecstasy. The service is top-notch, the atmosphere is unforgettable. The charm of this place makes you want to come back here again and again. In general, this restaurant is a real find for lovers of beauty!
