Basta Pasta - Fallston: Authentic Italian Dining Experience in MD

On Saturday the 29th 2024. I wanted to do Basta Pasta for a family dinner because we were basically tired of turkey. So on Friday night the 28th I called and placed an order for a tray of lasagna, a tray of baked penne pasta, 15 meatballs, a large salad and bread stick. Talking with the person who took my order, they told me that it would be enough to feed 8 to 10 people. ****Now the good part, the order was ready on time, the total was as quoted, the trays actually feed 9 adults and 2 children with left overs! The food was hot and tasted amazing. Everyone Thanked me for doing this and was very happy with the food. Thank you Basta Pastsa! Valerie Jarrettsville, MD

The food was delicious. The service was phenomenal not to mention the fact that they are very efficient when you run out of water and other drinks they bring it right to your table. The ambiance was amazing as well. Highly recommend this restaurant

Just came back from having a wonderful dinner with my son and daughter their kids and my husband. Visiting from Tampa. FL and always ask to go to your place when we are here. Your food is outstanding and our server, Cameron, was excellent checking on us many times to see if we needed anything. We're from NJ originally where good Italian food is taken for granted but didn't expect the high quality of what your place offers in a small MD town. Wish we had you in FL where good Italian is lacking most times. Will definitely return on our next trip to MD. Keep up the good work!

Great food with ample portions. Service was quick and responsive. Will be back when we are in the area.

My BIL got his pizza with anything and everything on it except for pineapple. For a party of 9 people, we were the only ones inside and only two tables were taken outside. We were treated well, but not the best attention was on the staff for a 5 star rating.

Came here to celebrate Mother's Day with the family. We had reservations and we're taken to the table. Once our entire party was present. I have been to this restaurant in the past and they revamped the interior design which makes it feel so much more open and elegant. The service has consistently been amazing. Despite how busy it was, our food came out quickly, and our server was attentive when we needed additional plates or drink refills. Our table got about six appetizers in total to split amongst all the guests. My favorite was the burrata ! All the appetizer plates were cleared off within a matter of minutes! For dinner, I got the scallop and shrimp Luciano - absolutely divine. Scallops were cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Shrimp were huge!! For dessert I got the chocolate dipped cannoli, it was the perfect portion for me to snack on something sweet after my filling dinner. Obviously with all that food ordered we did take home leftovers and was able to enjoy the food the next day. Drink wise, I got espresso martinis, which were silky smooth and had the three signature garnish coffee beans on the top. Definitely recommend for a family dinner out !!

For years we would visit the Timonium location until it shut down during covid. We lost our favorite server Matthew and wanted to see if this location knew of the last location. This location is inside a small shopping center in the middle of nowhere . The place has ample seating and space including a bar area. There weren't many people there so everything came out hot and fast. Our waitress was very attentive offering suggestions. We tried the dessert of the week called Chocolate Fireball it's chocolate mousse in a chocolate shell placed on top of 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream with fresh berries and whipped cream to garnish. once at the table, the manager Nick lit a small pour of Cointreau on fire and poured it into the mousse melting the chocolate shell. What a treat! Of course, I had other things but I was most excited about the desert.

The restaurant is nice and the staff was very nice. Stopped in for Maryland Restaurant Week and didn't want the menu they offered because there were so many other delicious options there. I decided to have mushroom capellini and a side order of black garlic rice. I ate the delicious capellini and had ti save the rice for lynch the next day. Perfect portion size, filling and tasty (the rice was good too). Glad MRW brought Basta Pasta to my attention.
