Pasta e Basta

Pasta e Basta is an authentic Italian restaurant in Midtown area! Did not know it existed until a friend shared the cuisine tastes just like the home country - Italy. Our server, Mirko, was knowledgeable of the dishes and spoke Italian and Spanish as well. We had three dishes that we shared and it was the best decision to get a taste of their range. The garden patio was more lively than the intimate indoors. Parking on street, paid or if lucky near the residences on the west side. Walk-ins were welcomed. Weekend specials always available. Tiramisu was a great ending to our experience.

I’ve been seriously missing good New York food since moving last year, and Pasta e Basta completely hit the spot. Everything was so good — I tried three different pastas and a salad, and every bite was better than the last. It honestly felt like a taste of home. You can tell they care about quality and flavor here. Highly recommend if you’re craving something authentic and classy.

Amazing find! Specially prepared pasta dishes. Fresh and delicious ingredients and minimalist decor . Relax and enjoy! Yes it’s really 4.9 out of 5 because it is a great place! Maria was really nice and helpful in recommending dishes to try.

It was our first time here and we loved it. Stand out dish was definitely the Carbonara. Nutella Crostatta dessert was also bomb. Our waiter Mirko was very attentive the whole time!

Hands down the best pasta in Miami. Mirko was our server tonight and so lovely. Great recommendations. The pasta is handmade and fantastic- great Music and an intimate but civet environment for a date

Súper cute place and the pasta was so good! We came for my boyfriends birthday and he had a great time. Mirko was our server and he did amazing job.

Excellent Service from Allan at Pasta e Basta I had an amazing experience at Pasta e Basta, largely thanks to the outstanding service from Allan. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and very professional. He explained the menu with patience, gave us great recommendations, and was always present without being intrusive. You can tell he enjoys what he does, and it truly enhances the dining experience. We’ll definitely be back… and hopefully, he’ll be our server again!

Great atmosphere and service, food for us just didn’t live up to the hype. Avocado shrimp palm salad was good, carbonara was good but we have had better, caccio e pepe the same. Was very good, I just feel like it’s not worth coming out of your way for.

I had been wanting to come here since it opened, I've had only heard good things about it. Finally came for dinner for a friend's birthday. As we entered the restaurant, the staff greeted us and we were promptly seated. The restaurant is quaint, and decor is minimalistic and beautiful, with a large outdoor dining area. Our servers were very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. I tasted a salad made with tomato, avocado and heart of palms-- I was hooked! I couldn't stop eating it. It was delicious and I want more of it. We also tasted 3 different types of pasta which I also enjoyed very much.. The sauces were *chefs kiss * I will definitely come back for more.

Came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch. Excited that there was a lunch special (pasta, coffee, dessert for $22). Complimentary bread standard and decent, love when it's complimentary. The staff said the most popular pastas were the rigatoni carbonara, cacio e pepe, and the cavatelli al sugo de carne. I ended up ordering the rigatoni carbonara and my friend got the cavatelli. I loved the al dente texture of both of our pastas. If I had to choose, my favorite would be the cavatelli because of the denser texture of the cavatelli and the beef was really good with it. For the coffee, my friend and I were able to choose the decaf options, I got an espresso, she got a latte--both good and great pairing with dessert. We shared the tiramisu and the fig crostada. If you like fruity tart flavors, the crostada is for you, otherwise I preferred the creamier tiramisu. Parking available close by as street parking either in front or across the street. Service was attentive. Ambience was nice and comfortable. Overall a fantastic lunch deal, definitely will consider coming back for the lunch special.

The best pasta in town! The Cacio e Pepe ans Bolognese are my favorite. Great wine choices and the salad wish prawns is fantastic.

Absolutely wonderful service. Incredibly fresh and flavorful pasta. Nice atmosphere both indoors and outdoors, great selection of music. All the dishes had an excellent bite. Sourdough bread was also quite fresh.

This place is very pretty inside! Many open tables during lunch. We were seated promptly. The waitstaff was very kind and welcoming. For apps we had: -Insalata Mista with tuna, tomatoes, mozzarella and olives. They didn't put enough dressing so it was dry. they only put oil and vinegar it needed like a Cesar or Italian dressing. -polpette al sugo- our favorite thing we had that day. moist tender meatballs with bread to dip and a lot of sauce For mains we had: conchiglioni al sugo di carne- big shells with short rib. very dry not a lot of sauce do not recommend this dish -rigatoni carbonera- i enjoyed this dish more, although i prefer carbonera with spaghetti or bucatini. The sauce was flavorful. It is a great deal to come here during lunchtime! They currently have a lunch deal where you have a coffee, entrée, and dessert for a set price. I would be willing to come back again to try a few more dishes and to get the meatballs again.

Unique pasta spot in midtown! Pasta e Basta is a tiny, super intimate restaurant, that offers good service and pasta. The show stopper here is the really the bread, but the experience in general was nice. The seafood past DEFINITELY could have used more proteins, but all in all it was a pleasant evening. I suggest arriving early as they do sell out of things (like beer) even on non busy nights.

Pasta e Basta was recommended to me by a close friend who said she had the best Carbonara of her life here. INCREDIBLY beautiful, chique, and calming restaurant interior. I loved all the black and white pictures on the walls and the warm dim-yellow lighting scheme of the restaurant. The restaurant staff was very welcoming, professional, efficient, and kind. I had to modify my party size for the reservation a couple times through the phone and they were very accommodating and nice about it. The food was also quite good and everyone in our party was super happy with their pasta. I got the Paccheri Al Tre Pomodori. I will definitely be coming back here again to try some other pastas. Price point is also reasonable.

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.

Even though I recently reviewed. I just wanted to follow up with my most recent visited. It was such a pleasant experience everyone was so welcoming from the host to the server to the manager ! I had the tiramisu this time and it was just as good as the basque ! The pasta is amazing but their desserts make you feel like nana made it. We sat inside this time and it was so cozy with the music at the perfect volume! For sure my new favorite place in Miami. It's very tiny so definatly make a reservation

We had such a delicious meal here while in Miami celebrating my best friend's birthday! Every pasta dish was absolutely incredible and super flavorful. The meatballs were to die for! We sat outside and did not feel too hot even with the Miami heat. The servers were very nice.

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, 12-3 Reservation suggested, but not required at lunch.

We (2 people, dress really nice) go in, it's 75% empty. Yet they said they have no tables. We didn't make a reservation because all they had was empty slots we said we'd just walk in. Hostess said she could sit us outside (summer time miami 90% humidity, are we punished?). I asked how long would the wait be for inside, she said 40min, yet when i jumped on the up, the next slot was 15min (which is usually the minimum). Rude, no vibe. First time we went there, it was standoffish too but we tried it anyway. Food was good. But vibe and attitude is giving abuse. No thanks. 2 stars for the food, also because I'm too nice.

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.

Pasta is all handmade and was delicious. The bruschetta was my favorite as well. Good wine selection as well to pair with pastas. The ambiance is nice with patio seating as well. Quality for price was excellent. Definitely will return to try more pastas!

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.

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!

This is hands down one of the best restaurants in the midtown area! There's free parking available right across the street from the restaurant which is a plus. We were a party of 5 and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the hostess, who gave us a warm welcome and told us to wait a few minutes. We were blow away by the chic and modern decor, they did a great job with creating a beautiful restaurant that makes you forget you're in Miami. We sat in the beautiful patio, which if you have the option to pick the patio on a beautiful breezy Miami evening! Then you really should! You should try the meatballs which were out of this world, the menu is simple, but don't let that full you all of these dishes are packed with unique flavors! We tried a few pasta dishes and they were all 10/10! Just know that the serving size is for one person, so definitely order a few dishes if you want to share with a large group! Everything from the service to the music, to the weather was perfect! We needed with the famous tiramisu which is a must try if you go to this restaurant! If you're looking for a place to have an intimate date night or hang out with friends, make sure to check this restaurant out, you will not regret it!

What an amazing find while on my biz trip to Miami! My team brought me to this restaurant to have a client meeting, and Pasta e Basta did not disappoint! The restaurant is quaint and beautifully decorated with a modern touch. Truly makes you want to stay and chill for the day. Our service was spot on, thank you Maria! For my lunch meal, I grabbed the Frutti Di Mare, which had a perfect al dente pasta and nice portion of tasty seafood! I topped the meal off with a double espresso and hour Tiramisu.

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!

Polite staff but the food took forever to come. Not a bad lunch special! Absolutely terrific pasta tho! Ever since having a friend randomly fine this place I constantly use their Uber Eats BOGO & order in all the time. Y U M M Y

Food was good and the ambiance was great. The portions were just tiny. I rarely finish my meals at restaurants but I just wanted more here. Everyone else felt the same and we were a party of 12. They charge $3 per person for cake cutting. The gnocchi my husband had was delicious. The ravoli was good but didn't taste the short rib.

The most beautiful little hidden ish restaurant best service definitely try to have maria as your server she is the best! The food is AMAZING definitely get the lasagna forgot the actual name sorry lol. Appetizers are a most try too!

What a cute spot!! Saw so many videos online about this spot so decided to stop in to try it out. First off, this is a very small spot so you NEED a reservation because it it booked and busy. Even with a reservation we had to wait over 20 minutes past our reservation time because they are that busy! Service is great, the manager works hard and you see the entire staff busy and taking care of guest the entire time! The ambiance of this spot is so clean and trendy. Very pasta but make it trendy and modern vibe. The tables settings are clean and crisp and the chairs are all white giving this spot a very upscale feel. Price wise, for miami it's very well priced. Average price point, but the food is actually delicious so it makes it worth the money. Now the best part, THE FOOD! We had the meatball special and the sauce they use is AMAZING. I can't even explain what the sauce was other than it was mouth watering good. The carbonara pasta was delicious and such a good portion for one. Now the lasagna, we had both the meat and veggie options and they were both sooo good! The veggie lasagna stole the show in my opinion, with a creamy sauce and perfect veggie ratio, it was perfection. They give you bread with your meal and they are not holing back, every time that bread basket was empty and new one was right behind it. Overall such a good little spot and worth both a try and the money! Beware of parking though, it is in midtown and it is all street parking so you might what to get there a little early to find a spot not to far away.

If you want to eat only pasta, it is a good choice. If you like protein in your meal I would look for other options.

Very delicious and perfectly Al dente pasta. This restaurant really gives a nice modern Mediterranean feel with awesome music. We came on a Tuesday so it was not very busy. All the pastas were great but my favorite was the ravioli, it had a very unique flavor with a sage butter sauce! The waiter was very nice and the food came out pretty fast as well.

10/10 amazing & delicious pasta restaurant! Cute place, pretty plates and awesome food

The place is very small and you will need to make a reservation on Resy prior to going on a weekend. Your whole party must be there to be seated together since they only give you an hour and 30 mins to eat. We sat in the patio in the back with the stormtrooper looking fans lol. The bread is sourced by Concept a bread wholesaler that I couldn't find any info online. We started with the meatballs and the they were good. The tagliatelle bolognese was the best dish. The gnocchis were ok but lacked sauce and potions are tapas size. The Rigatoni carbonara was way too salty and also had barely any sauce. The sauciest plate was the Paccheri Pomodoro. As for desert the fig crostata was underwhelming but the basque cheesecake was really good. Overall, it's a new place and will need to work on a few things.

Este lugar es uno de los más auténticos de comida italiana en Miami en estos momentos. Aunque es bien pequeño, la atención es increíble. Las porciones son pequeñas pero muy deliciosas. Tienen una gran variedad de vinos, y la decoración es muy parecida a cualquier lugar en el Mediterráneo.

My fiancé and I were really excited to try this new restaurant out near Wynwood so we made a reservation. We got there about 2 minutes before our reservation and the hostess greeted us and immediately looked us up and down and tried seating us outside. (Mind you it's Miami, so ofcourse it was raining.) the outside is covered but it was extremely humid and hot. There was available and open seating inside but she insisted we sat outside by ourselves (yeah there was no one else outside) we kindly ask to sit in one of the open tables and she told us that we could not sit inside because there was a big party of 6-8 arriving.. WE HAD RESERVATIONS..??? She made no sense the other people were not even there.. I am not one to feel judged or less than but this hostess definitely made us feel as if she was being racist to my fiancé and I. We will not be ever returning this establishment. DO BETTER. Update: The owner of the establishment Nico reached out to me personally to apologize for this incident and explained the hostess had only been working there for 3 days. His apology was sincere and offered us to return back to make sure our next experience was completely different.

I recently went to pasta e basta for a business luncha nd it was amazing! The food was delicious and the ambiance with the servers were great also! They were super nice I did not feel uncomfortable at all and we had a baby with us which she was not feeling her best that day she she was a little fuzzy. We also had homemade gelato for desert we ordered hazelnut gelato super delicious

Hidden away down a side street lies this gem. Quaint and cozy vibe with attentive servers. We waited a little past our reservation time as the place was crowded but the food made up for it. Started with a nice glass of Italian red wine and the bread basket with olive oil was good. My date and I shared the short rib ragu pasta and the Gorgonzola gnocchi. Both delicious! Only knock I have (and I'm still rating 5 stars)... a family was waiting for a table near the bar, kind of in the middle of a restaurant, and the daughter had her dog. It was NOT a service animal. When they were seated in the patio area, they walked through the restaurant and the dog actually brushed up against my leg. Management should be on top of this as (even though I'm a dog owner), dogs should NOT be allowed anywhere near food. It's unsanitary and probably violates some health code. Nevertheless, despite this, I will be returning as the restaurant is great!

Best carbonara i've ever had. Pasta was amazing, and the place was super aesthetic. I did take one star off because our server was a tad rude but the one that tended to us for the other half was amazing. This place is great!!

Pasta E Basta was so delicious! We started off with the Bruschetta and Caprese Salad. We then shared 3 different pastas: Rigatoni Carbonara, Pacherri Al Tre Pomodori, and the Gnocchi. They were all amazing! My favorite was the Pacherri Al Tre Pomodori. The sauce was so unique! The service was great. Our server was very attentive and helpful when choosing what we wanted. The ambience of the restaurant is beautiful. It is relaxing, aesthetic, and clean. Loved my experience here! I can't wait to come back and try different pastas

The food was decent, though the pasta wasn't particularly memorable. The ambiance was fine, but the service left a bit to be desired. We felt a bit rushed throughout the meal, and the host didn't seem very welcoming she chose not to speak English with us even though she seemed to understand it, which made communication slightly awkward. Given how quiet the place was, we expected a more attentive and relaxed dining experience.

Great atmosphere with a cozy vibe. The service was top-notch--server was attentive and made excellent recommendations. Fresh Italian pasta and bruschetta. Overall, a wonderful spot for a relaxed dinner!

New homemade pasta spot in midtown that really hits the spot. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels like you're walking into someone's modern home. The menu is primarily pasta with a few apps and a good wine list. We started with La Scarpetta which is their focaccia bread served with your choice of bolognese or cacio y Pepe sauce. Really enjoyed the bread & the sauce was flavorful. For my main, I had the Paccheri al tre pomodori and I cannot recommend it enough. The pasta tastes fresh and the sauce is to die for. I would come back and order this again. Great spot for anything, service is a bit slow but nothing too bad. Looking forward to coming back!

Pasta was fantastic. Small menu selection. Portions were solid and priced well. Had the rigatoni carbonara, ravioli, and the gnocchi. Gnocchi was probably the best gnocchi I've had in miami. Except they do have a bread and sauce dish for $14 that I stayed away from, on price. Aesthetic inside was nice. Their patio was closed. Service was unremarkable and the kitchen was slow. Will definitely go back.

I'ts unfortunate that I had to give this restaurant such a low rating, as the food was DELICIOUS! The service however was terrible. Im writing this review in the hopes that servers get better training. Would love to continue dining at this restaurant.

My boyfriend, parents, and I all loved this spot! Excellent food and ambience. Lovely service. Accomodating. Chill. Delicious.

Unfortunately I was disappointed by my experience here. While the pasta was certainly OK to good, it took an hour to get our food. Additionally, the food comes in decorative sauce pans, which suck any warmth out of the dish before you take your second bite. I'm all for gourmet food, but the appetizers and mains alike were nowhere near enough to fill anyone the night we went, let alone for the $$$$ prices that are what you might expect in the heart of the design district (not the outskirts of midtown). The ambience and liveliness of the restaurant are the only things that really saved the experience at all for me, so a good option for drinks with friends without a culinary focus.

I ordered on ubereats , and I was so happy I did lol I was looking for the authentic tonarelli Cacio e Pepe and they got it ! I came back from Rome a week or so ago and I was craving the taste of the cacio e Pepe I had over there , I have to say these ppl nailed it and so was the tagliatelle alla bolognese , both were so on point I think the chef here really knows what he's doing lol amazing experience for my tastebuds go for it , you will not regret !

I love the paccheri, the lasagna, and the tiramisu. They are delicious. The paccheri is easily the pasta I crave the most in this city.

A MUST visit when you're in Miami. This has to be one of the best pasta places I've eaten at in a long while. There are so many good Italian places in the city but none of them are making pasta the way this restaurant does. The service is very nice, everyone is pretty welcoming and the restaurant is intimate. The manager is checking up on everyone and ensuring that everyone is happy. I have only been here twice once sitting at the bar once at the tables - but I'll def be returning. I will say making a reservation or walking in is your best bet, I once called for a table they said they were full and 10 min later I walked in and got a table; but they are usually full. They also have a lunch menu for 22$ which is a great value for what they are serving. This may be one of the better restaurants that have opened in Miami in a while.

Intimate Italian food with fresh in-house made pasta. Perhaps one of the most unique meatballs and also ragú short rib.

I've been on a pasta kick lately. I know I came to the right place we were party for all the different pastor. Dishes were incredible. We started off with unbelievable appetizers. not only is the past excellent, but their fish was extremely fresh. The penny à la vodka was probably the best they ever had this service. Well they were busy but the Wait staff were apologetic. They knew the menu very well and made some great suggestions. Ambience was laid-back. Everyone seems to be enjoying their food. If there was one thing to say is that the kitchen needs some help with expediting the food. All in all is still worth going to see and enjoying the experience, by the way, they're Barada and tomatoes is a must have. Until next time bon appétit

An excellent intimate place with great attention from the moment you walked in and without reservation they went beyond to make sure to accommodate us. Love the pasta, it was delicious. Our server was fantastic. Definitely a beautiful place with excellent food, staff and attention to detail. Highly recommended : )

I ate at Pasta e Basta tonight and am so glad I did! This is a hidden gem in Miami! I sat at Mirko's table and he steered me in all the right directions. I started with the Vitello Tonnato which was so light and satisfying. Then I had the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe with truffle which was unbelievable. I also had the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese which was done to perfection. At that point I was too full for dessert, but I'll report back on that next time. Highly recommend this spot!

Hola!!! Ayer tuve la oportunidad de conocer su restaurante .. darle las gracias por su excelente servicio ... Demasiado amor demasiada luz y una pasta deliciosa amé ese lugar
