    Excellent all-around!! Short rib was so delicious, tender and moist. Canoli was so good. Chicken parm and chicken marsala were outstanding. The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with great advice on the menu and wines. Probably would consider this a higher end, higher price place but not outrageously so. With appetizers, main, bottle of wine, and desserts it was approximately $70 per person plus tip….worth every penny!!!! Absolutely would go back in a heartbeat!

    It’s hard for a restaurant these days to have the whole package. Quanto Basta exceeded our expectations! The service by Gregory was great and our dinner was superb. We will return here every visit to Wilmington.

    Excellent venue, food specials & cocktails. Service was very good & loved that the owner popped over to our table to greet us and tell us about his favorite special dish of the evening. I had the Short Rib pasta special and my husband & son both ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Sadly their dishes were both overcooked.. but we are definitely willing to try again. Our friend loved the Stuffed Pepper dish too.

    My husband and I went to Quanto Basta for dinner and it was delightful! The environment is very intimate and perfect for date night. I ordered the shrimp scampi risotto and my husband got the baked ziti and both were delicious. The drink selection is also amazing and everything was great. Definitely recommend for a quality italian dinner.

    The food was outstanding. We shared the mussels, perfectly prepared. Shared a pizza, the best I have had in Wilmington, had the Pescatore for entree, excellent! Shared the olive oil cake for dessert - delicious. They also make a great espresso martini. Just a perfect experience

    The restaurant is beautiful and the service is impeccable. Food prices are high, so I expect quality food. Unfortunately, Quanto Basta missed the mark. Two of us were served “seared tuna” that had been previously frozen. It was gray and hard around the edges. The server acknowledged that the tuna had been frozen and changed it up for 4 shrimp. NOT what I wanted and not what I paid for. Not sure I’m going back.

    The food was outstanding. Portion was normal sized. Not so huge you couldn’t finish. Our waitress Katie was very good. A great dinner and experience.
