Basta

Basta is an Italian restaurant that has been open since 1989, known for AVPN-certified Neapolitan pizza, hand-cut pasta, local seafood and a signature veal chop called the Pazzo. The menu mixes traditional Italian plates with chef-inspired dishes, and the restaurant sources ingredients from local fishmongers and farms. A wine list and handcrafted cocktails round out the menu, and the team can help pair drinks with a meal.

Basta is at 2195 Broad Street in Cranston and serves dinner Wednesday through Sunday, with later hours on Friday and Saturday. Guests can dine in the main room or outside on the terrace when weather allows. The restaurant also offers gift cards, private events and online ordering.
