Honestly this was one of the best food and service I’ve ever had. The food was amazing and big portions and everything wowd me. I’m a foodie and was soo impressed. The zucchini pronto app and artichoke were amazing! Wine priced reasonably for Columbus and everything just soo good. Our server was on top of everything and everything came out fast in the way you want it. I’m soo impressed. This is my new favorite restaurant! I can’t wait to come back! What a gem! Also lots of delicious vegetarian options. Soooo good.

We had an awesome experience at Basi Italia! The atmosphere is truly so dreamy out on the patio, the service is really great and food comes out fast- their dishes are playful with truly fantastic flavors! I will say that I think if they were able to make their pasta fresh from scratch in house, that would definitely bring their pasta game to the next level- overall, a neighborhood gem!

Wonderful evening!
Its been 20 years, but Basi still exceeds all expectations. MJ provided fabulous service. The Parmesan brulee was decadent, though you will need more crostinis. The lamb and eggplant parm were amazing. The special was a pork chop. It was a bit dry, but the mashed potatoes with fennel made up for it.
I highly recommend the sangria, especially paired with the patio and people watching.
I will not wait another 20 years til my next visit.

What A great neighborhood restaurant with a beautiful covered patio space in the back. The complimentary bread service to start with was phenomenal. We shared five appetizers – mussels, artichoke carpaccio, zucchini, Parmesan brûlée, caesar salad – and they were all great. Everyone loved their pastas, while I went with the lamb chops which were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend Basi Italian!

Delicious! The zucchini starter was our favorite part, definitely recommend that. The artichoke starter also looked delicious, will be trying that next time we go. The focaccia bread with truffle oil that they bring out is also amazing, so unique, unlike any focaccia I’ve ever had. For mains we got the shrimp risotto special (which was just okay), and the eggplant parmesan (which was good). The patio ambience was quaint and cozy.

Basi was by far one of the best recommendations we’ve ever gotten. From start to finish, everything we tried was incredible.
We started with the grilled artichoke carpaccio, and honestly, we are still trying to find the words to describe how amazing it was. Just unforgettable.
We also had the mussels, which were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, however, the broth could use more seasoning.
For mains, the butter-poached cod was exactly that: buttery in the best way. Every bite was rich and delicious.
We also had the NY Strip Steak, which was a menu special. We ordered it medium rare but it came out rare — but that made it even better. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the pepper on top had this sweet and salty balance that worked so well.
Dessert was lemon ricotta gelato and cannolis, always a win.
The only small downside was that the space felt a bit hot and loud, and the chairs weren’t the most comfortable, but the food was so good it didn’t really matter.
We’ll definitely be back… mostly because we can’t stop thinking about that artichoke.

Incredible dining experience! I’m a long-time restaurant pro who was Wowed. We were seated in the cozy backroom complete w heaters
Our first course was a Salmon brushetta and it was completely delicious + healthy portion. My main was Lamb Chops MR and they were cooked to perfection on a mouthwatering bed of veggie cous cous. My friends had the tasty Gnocchi and roomie had the Special, Lamb Ragu. We all tasted each other’s dishes and silence followed full mouths. Our last course, a bourbon brulee had sizeable portions of fresh fruit as well as whipped cream.
Service was excellent and unobtrusive yet friendly as well. Overall, I have been disappointed with the Columbus restaurants however, these guys knocked it out of the park!
Kudos to Chef Raphael and staff as great job and thank you for an incredible evening.

Such a gem! We booked a reservation and staff was excellent at keeping us up to date as our original reservation had a wait list. After a few days they let us know we could sit inside which worked for us.
Parking could be difficult as there is mostly parallel on street parking nearby but they do have an option for valet which was about the same cost as parking anyways.
Inside dining is a bit tight but it works as we were all comfortable at our table. We didn’t go to the patio but next time we’d like to give that a try.
The food was fantastic. I’m so glad we have an actual Italian restaurant to go to besides the big chains. I had the lamb which was amazing and cooked perfectly. Appetizers were great and so was the dessert. Take a look at some of the photos and start drueling!
We will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful experience. Angela was our waitress and she was phenomenal. Food was great and we loved the outdoor seating. We had the zucchini appetizer, we both loved it. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my husband had the rigatoni. For dessert we had the chocolate truffle balls, all amazing!!
