Some of the finest Italian cuisine in New York City can be found at a Flatiron jewel helmed by a Japanese chef! Enter Basta Pasta, a Time Out & Goop-applauded treasure trove of inventive Italian-Japanese fusion fare that will wow your palate with every bite, all within a cozy, open-concept space in the heart of Flatiron.
Grab your $69 pulse (a $122 value) for a 3 Course Dinner For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, as well as 2 Glasses of Wine or Beers.
Since 1990, Basta Pasta has been adored by locals & visitors alike thanks to the creative kitchen mastery of Chef Satoru Takada. With its first location skyrocketing to success after debuting in 1985 in Tokyo, Chef Takada brought his unique vision to Manhattan, captivating epicureans with his ability to perfectly blend the two cultures in delicious harmony.
Let a few glasses of red wine complement a feast that begins with the likes of Burrata (Campari tomatoes, red onion, watermelon radishes), moving on to juicy Bistecca alla Griglia (black angus Allen Brother NY strip loin, king-trumpet mushrooms, zucchini, agrodolce, roasted garlic), or the Tonnarelli con Prosciutto e Parmigiano, repping fresh tonnarelli, prosciutto, & basil tossed in a wheel of Parmigiano!
A dessert of Tiramisu adds a sweet finale to the palatable revelry, giving you more reason to return for such a dreamy feast sometime in the very near future...
Italian cuisine gets an ingenious upgrade at Basta Pasta, whose Japanese chef and Tokyo origins give it a contemporary twist. Gourmands & traditionalists will find their happy place in classic dishes, all elevated by dashes of Chef Satoru Takada's creativity, resulting in a decadent, transportive evening for your senses.
The open kitchen concept at Basta Pasta offers your eyes a captivating view into the meticulous process of crafting each dish. Originating in Tokyo at his inaugural Basta Pasta location, Chef Satoru Takada's innovative concept was brought to Manhattan and has earned adoration from critics & diners alike. He envisioned not just a restaurant, but a stage for culinary artistry.
Take a seat outside for al fresco city energy, or cuddle up amidst the social buzz, charming coziness, and bustling kitchen action inside, letting the wine in your glass swirl as your appetite grows. A starter of Pesce Crudo del Giorno (Japanese sea scallop crudo, onions, radishes, pink peppercorns, lime wasabi) will set the stage for mains, kickstarting a dream of flavors you'll adore.
Try the handmade pastas, especially Pappardelle al Ragu di Basta Pasta with its signature meat sauce, spinach, and Grana Padano cheese, while meatier mains like Agnello alla Griglia (grilled Colorado lamb chops) satisfy carnivores. The Salmone Maine alla Griglia (Maine salmon, gigante beans, sun-dried tomato, caper & olive vinaigrette) is also a stunner - your only job is to choose what you crave!
Lest we forget, dessert wraps up the scrumptious delights of the evening, so lick the plate clean if you feel so inclined - you might just be tempted...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

"Relaxed enough to even have a dinner with a few friends, but nice enough to bring that special someone for some one-on-one time. Ambience is warm and cozy, service was outstanding, never felt rushed. Being able to thank the chef as we left was a plus, and he deserved it; the food was amazing and I would recommend and hope to go back again. Very clean, great place."
