Ristorante Latini

For visiting Basel, this is on my 'must go' list. Their vegan Planted Steak is artfully seasoned - flavorful, tender, and meaty. The staff was friendly and appropriately attentive. Love my meals here!

We enjoyed a meal at Ristorante Latini in May 2025. Just a short walk from the tram station in Barfusserplatz, Ristorante Latini is tastefully decorated and is larger inside than it seems. I had the Kalbfleisch saffron risotto and found it quite delicious, although the portion was a touch on the small side. I also enjoyed a cream of asparagus soup as a starter, which was absolutely amazing. Prices were good and reasonable for Switzerland. As with most restaurants in Switzerland it was a bit warm and stuffy inside for my liking, and it wasn't particularly hot out yet. Fortunately a couple of cold beers helped to make the climate in the restaurant more bearable.

We went there without a reservation and were seated very quickly. The food was absolutely delicious 10/10. Fresh, tasty, well seasoned and the waiters were very nice as well. The restaurant itself, the enteriour is a bit outdated but still very clean and neat. Would go there again to try some more food definately

I liked the cosy atmosphere, with candles on the tables. Service was good. To be honest, I didn't care so much for the spaghetti all’aglio, olio e peperoncino, which felt very heavy on the stomach. I had expected it to be lighter. Maybe another time, I will opt for something different. Very nice presentation of the wine, though: Rather than just a glass of wine, it was presented in a mini carafe, which I liked very much.

We recently tried Latini, reserved a table for dinner was easy via online reservation. Location is very central. But the supposedly italian experience was not what we expected the Spaghetti Vongole was bitter taste of burnt garlic the clams were tasteless.. the Ravioli di ricotta e spinaci al burro e salvia First and foremost Ricotta is a delicate cheese when not freshly made it got dry and tasteless. We were speechless dining in this called Italian Restaurant as theres nothing Italian here… though Bruciato saved our night! Antipasti, Primo, Secondo and Dessert Menu even tried their espresso.. Highly NOT recommended if you tasted the real Italian cuisine.. Dont eat here its a scam and a tourist trap..

My very beloved restaurant in Basel. Nice welcome, delicious food, good wine list. Always go with good friends to chill. We go almost once a week. I like the seafood spaghetti most 😃

Wonderful Italian restaurant; we ate there 2 days in a row. Favorite is bolognese spaghetti and ricotta-spinach ravioli. The best part is the unlimited grind-your-own fresh parmesan cheese.

Spacious interior with bar an restaurant part, menu with lots of choice of well known Italian dishes. Quality and taste of the food good. Average sized servings. The personal parmasan cheese grater you get with the pasta dishes is nice gimmick. Had dinner here on a late Sunday evening. Staff very friendly and service is fast.
