Sapori Del Sud

Best owner ever, the place and the guy felt more Italian than my visit to italy. Great food, perfect prices and the taste makes you crave it more and more.

The best pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had and the gelato is simply delicious. This place is as popular as the owner. If you lucky to find his mom when you visit, you might learn some Italian words. The old lady is very friendly, kind and welcoming.

The best Italian panini and snacks in Basel. Ideal for an easy lunch in the old town. The specialty is the pastrami sandwich with mustard and pickles. Great service and delicious food!

Amazing spot! Must visit if you’re looking for finger licking good sandwiches 🥹❤️ The owner makes the atmosphere so nice you just get in a good mood when you see him. ☺️

A little gem that deserves a visit. A takeway restaurant with a nice selection of authentic Italian “fast” dishes, managed by a lovely owner. The arancino alla norma was pretty good, but the pastrami outshined it. It was exceptional.

Great place with delicious food and friendly welcoming atmosphere. Totally recommend!

Delicious, and with extremely lovely service. Highly recommend the pastrami and to try their Mandarino Verde drink.

The nicest reuben and pastrami sandwiches we have ever tasted. Better than the ones we had in NY. The owner is extremely friendly and is very passionate about his food

Excellent Arancini. OK pastrami - not a lot of pastrami the bread was good. Sandwich comes with a pickle. Service was prompt and friendly.

This little takeout place is run by the nicest mother and son duo. On our first night in Basel we learned how early many places shut down. We spotted Sapori Del Sud and made it a point to come back the next day when they were open. That was a great decision. A majority of the restaurants on this particular street were insanely expensive. We just wanted a quick lunch before we got back to exploring. We were able to get a nice lasagna for a reasonable price. We liked it so much that we ended up walking back to get gelato for dessert later. The son kept apologizing to me because he didn't speak English but there was no need to apologize for that! I was able to use Google Translate to tell him in Italian that we enjoyed their food very much. It was great seeing their faces light up when they heard that. I'm really glad I got to meet these two and enjoy their food on this journey.

A super nice and passionate guy running this awesome little joint in the peaceful town of Basel, with his sweet mama helping in the back. We didn't get to try the lasagna or gelatos but the pastrami sandwich was one of the best I've ever had!

10CH for a big pastrami sandwich is almost unheard of in Basel, let alone a country as pricey (at least for food) as Switzerland! Lucky enough it was only a 5 minute walk to the tiny shop and even though we went during it's opening, a line was already beginning to form. We were immediately greeted by the shop owner in Italian and although he spoke very little English, he was very friendly and even offered us a sample of the pastrami meat. It was delicious and moved forward to buy 2 sandwiches. In minutes the sandwich was made a voila we had our breakfast in hand. The sandwich was warm and crunchy, filled with generous amounts of pastrami, cheese, and mustard with a pickle on the side. Though a simple sandwich all together it was executed perfectly, making it one of the better breakfasts I've had on this trip!
