When you dine at Basi Italia, remember that good things often come in small packages. Tucked away on an alley-like street in the heart of Victorian Village, the restaurant seats a cozy 26 and features simple, seasonal Italian fare.… Read Full Editorial
The pasta in here is consistent by Caleb D via Insider Pages on 3/27/2014
The pasta in here is always consistently astonishing, they have a great cook and I want to meet him sometime to buy him a bottle of beer for a great job.

wonderful people and great food makes this resturant the best italian in the city. The valet was very kind and helpful in greeting me to the establishment. my favorite dish is the eggplant parm. yum! And when i was ready to leave the valet…
Hidden Gem by CBusFoodie via Citysearch on 2/11/2011
I've heard of Basi here and there. Always good reviews. It's been there 7 years or so and I finally got a chance to go. It was booked up a week in advance (dinner only place), so we had to take a very early reservation on a Friday night.…
fantastic food by Maartje E via Insider Pages on 1/5/2010
Basi is my go to date night restaurant. It is small and located in a charming old victorian and the service is fantastic. As much as possible, the owners us locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality. The menu changes seasonally…
pretentious food and atmosphere by wki via Citysearch on 7/29/2009
mussels were OK....could have done with some decent Italian bread to soak up the sauce, Couldn't find the lobster in the lobster pasta , the pasta was overcooked and had a strange sweet taste. The scallop special was 4 scallops sitting in…
great date spot by aly511 via Citysearch on 5/11/2009
I loved the wine and menu. The back patio is awesome and the atmosphere inside was super nice. The cannoli was awesome as well as the lobster pasta.
Don't pay for valet service by Vasso via Citysearch on 4/25/2009
Premier Valet charges you $5 literally to pull your car around the corner. Do NOT pay -- just park in the neighborhood, which is what Premier Valet does, anyway. I have good friends who live around the corner from the restaurant, and it…
Mediocre food (at best) in a great atmosphere by lizzyw76 via Citysearch on 10/22/2008
Service and atmosphere were great. Wine was delicious.\r
The mussels were bland, lobster penne unspectacular and the special, a duck risotto\r
was not very good at all...I wanted to love it, but they made it impossible.\r
Would only be…
Very disappointing. by bowakowa via Citysearch on 10/14/2008
After having been here a couple years back and being satisfied if not summarily impressed, we returned tonight to find a great patio, good service, and the most disappointing meal of our lives. We did not finish, nor did we accept a…
On the decline by Jen1223 via Citysearch on 9/5/2008
I have heard great things about Basi, but I was extremely disappointed. The setting and atmosphere, especially for a date, couldn't have been better, but the food was definitely not good and completely ruined the Basi experience. I have…
Great Food, The worst service in the Universe-bad-aftertaste! by UBU44ALWAYS via Citysearch on 6/25/2008
Be aware that Basi Italian restaurant is capable of giving you the best and worst expirience in one dining event. Basi provides up to snuff italian cucina meals, fresh spices and unusual cooking procedures, but provides the Worst World…
Overpriced, Overrated by search4food via Citysearch on 3/26/2008
If you like glorified spaghetti (ground lamb with red sauce and pasta) or steak that tastes like liver, and paying high prices, then this place is for you! There were 4 in our party, and only one person liked what they chose. He let me…
Our favorite restaurant by docproc via Citysearch on 1/4/2008
For starters, I should tell you that we live in Cincinnati, not Columbus--so a visit to Basi Italia involves a two-hour drive and sometimes an overnight stay. We have made that investment several times because Basi is THAT GOOD. Yes,…
Not a huge fan by maryeloisemo via Citysearch on 7/17/2007
Have only been once, but I didn't think it was worth the price. I ordered a seafood dish and it was poorly cooked -- extremely chewy. The outdoor ambiance is great, though, so it might be worth another shot in the summertime.
Unbelievably good!! by leo78 via Citysearch on 4/17/2007
This place is amazing! Their outdoor patio is the kind of place that requires an ostentatious gesture--a proposal of marriage, at the very least. The food is guaranteed to be phenomenal--I know, I go there at least once a month. …
Great Italian, small atmosphere by michael_h_lewis via Citysearch on 11/29/2006
Simply put I have not had a bad meal here yet and I have eaten here a dozen times this year. The food is amazing and the menu changes periodically. Definitely try the eggplant and make sure you have reservations far enough in advance (a…
Perfection by ramsey2 via Citysearch on 8/19/2006
Do not bother reading this if you go to a restaurant to see or be seen. And don't bother reading on if you think the sum of Italian cuisine can be found in pasta. This place is for Serious Foodies, and once your waiter/waitress…
Excellent food; HORRIBLE waitstaff by auntmooshka via Citysearch on 7/13/2006
First and foremost, the food was outstanding. It was creative and superb tasting. The chef does amazing things and for that reason we will return. HOWEVER, we had reservations for 7:30pm (made 2 weeks in advance) and we seated at 8:15. …
User review by 679washington by 679washington via Citysearch on 5/4/2006
Great neighborhood location, wonderful patio. Decent, homemade, fresh, creative meals & nice wine selection.
My only complaint was the waiter, terribly rude. Had to ask for more beverages, he never once came to ask how our food was…
