Expectations weren’t nearly what I assumed one of the most well-regarded Italian restaurants in the city would be. Service was good and the food came out promptly…but flavor wise, I was pretty let-down.Tried the fig flatbread, which had the makings to be great, but the honey drizzled on top was so sweet and overpowering, that you couldn’t really taste anything but sweet/candy. Dish needed salt/acidic bite to really balance the savory aspect.For entrees, we both tried the eggplant parmigiana after great reviews. The spaghetti pesto side was decent. The eggplant parmigiana again, was incredibly overpowered by a syrupy-sweet balsamic drizzle on top, and the tomato sauce was also pretty sugary....
This was hands down the best meal we have had since our last visit to Basi a few years ago. We have no clue what took us so long to return, but you better believe we will be back ....tomorrow? This was our 6 mo wedding anniversary and from the wait staff, to the budino, it couldn't have been better. There are no words. You must go and experience it yourself!! We got the sautéed calamari, the soup of the day, shrimp and cauliflower, we split, we split the scallop dish that was an experience in itself with the flavor combinations of the sweet sweet potato, salty Brussel sprouts, and perfectly cooked jumbo scallops wrapped in prosciutto, and the eggplant parmesean. Thank you so much basi for an...
you're gonna hate it like that. I keep this little restaurant of the world class and wonderfully dedicated staff as my secret paradies on neil. eating is perfectly prepared and the presentation is far beyond the price. I appreciate this place. the customers share my opinion. btw, I don't have a financial club there. only a very satisfied customer.
Italian gem tucked away in Victorian Village. The flavor profiles and wine selection are on point and best enjoyed on the private patio. Intimate, charming and perfect for date night. Those dark chocolate truffles didn’t stand a chance!

The food is outstanding and the service is always amazing. The owners are super friendly and it’s just a great experience that they create. Highly highly recommend for anyone looking for a great special date night.
The atmosphere was fantastic, the food was fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong here. Our server did an amazing job pairing the perfect wine with both of our dishes. This is now my favorite restaurant!
This is the best meal I've had since moving to Columbus following nearly 20 years of living and dining in Northern California's Wine Country. Thanks Basi!
This is definitely one of the best meals ever! I highly recommend that everyone gives this place a try!
