   We had visited Basta before on a week night and had a wonderful time. The place had a wonderful atmosphere and the food was great, so returned with visiting family to let them experience the fabulous Basta pizzas. Unfortunately it was a bit of a disaster. Extremely noisy with music way too loud to have conversation, we waited almost an hour for food. We had our sides of potatoes delivered first and waited 15 more minutes for our pizzas and salad. When it arrived our Margherita literally had 3 small pieces of bocconcini and the crust was burnt. The staff were apologetic, but that doesn’t really help a spoiled meal out with visitors. Not a patch on our first visit, but with so many other eateries in Wollongong, sadly means we won’t likely be back.

   Food was good, unfortunately we had pretty much finished our meals by the time our drinks came out. This was after asking for them several times and they were not complex, a beer and a simple mocktail. Overall an average experience. However, the staff were apologetic and removed the drinks from the bill.

   Very poor service. We had a drink spilt all over us, and then they forgot our main meals. We were seated right up the back with no ambience or vibe and were totally forgotten about—constantly asking where our wine was and when our food was coming!!

   I’ve been here three times in a fortnight and just love it. The gnocchi is to die for and all the food is so great for sharing.

   We don’t get to go out very often these days so it was so good to sit down and have a really nice meal with friendly staff! Food and drinks were delicious and the night was great. Will be coming back

   We dined early so it was quiet only a few tables. Menu is very limited. Wait staff were a bit off and service was the minimum. I ordered prawn pizza it was ok not great. Wouldn't rush back.

   Love going to Basta restaurant. Went on a Saturday and they had live music which was great. Drinks are slow and we often have to grab attention to get another drink. We booked at 6:30 and were told our table needed to be vacated at 8pm when the booking confirmation clearly stated booking was for 2 hours for 4 people. Overall enjoyable time was had as usual.

    The setting was great lighting and table arrangements were great . Every meal was amazing except the warm olives . Which unfortunately were so small they were nearly un edible . The only other down fall for us was the noise level . Which I understand can’t be helped ina small narrow passage style setup with concrete walls and floors . Apart from that the expierience was great and we would highly recommend
