We were staying at the GWL and for our last night we wanted a nice dinner and went with this gem based off of reviews and I’m so glad we did! The ambiance was beautiful and relaxing. It had an intimate feel while still being kid friendly. Our server was so welcoming, attentive and informative. We ended up choosing 2 dishes that were the chefs favorites to prepare (Salmon Pescatore & Zuppa di Pesce) and he actually came out to say hello and make sure we were enjoying our meals. Portions are very generous and flavors were amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for making our last night in PA memorable one.

I’ve tried just about every Italian restaurant in the poconos. Last night was my first visit to Basso and was very impressed. The attractive bar and dining area built out in elaborate wood trim and Italian tile. I ordered the pork cutlet special with a side of sautéed spinach. The cutlet was fried and covered with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. It was served with penne vodka. Included was Italian bread with olive oil and bruschetta style spread. Everything was delicious I’ll be back very soon. For now Basso is number one!

It’s the perfect place that gets you away from your normal restaurants that push customers through. Valerie is a great bartender, hostess, and everything else! Great for conversations with friends and family.

We came across this restaurant on a trip to The Poconos. They had an Osso Bucco stuffed Ravioli as a special the night we were there. Probably the best appetizer I’ve ever had. Also had fusilli as a noodle option, which is not that common to see and one of my favorites. I highly recommend this place if you are anywhere in a 100-mile vicinity. Start to finish, this was a perfect meal, food and service!

This was by far the most incredible all around Italian meal we’ve had in some time. Hot, flavorful food. Well crafted drinks. Friendly, top notch service. We truly enjoyed the atmosphere for our anniversary dinner!

Went here after years of hearing how good it is and it did not disappoint in the slightest. I got a plate of seafood pasta that was bigger than my head and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the Zuppa di Pesce and the Shrimp 390, the garlic sauce in the latter was insanely good. Meatballs and Eggplant Capone were also amazing but you’ll 100% be coming home with at least a few boxes. Tiramisu was some of the best I’ve had, very intense coffee flavor and delicious marscapone topping. Also had amazing service from Samantha, she was very helpful, explaining multiple of the items on the menu for us. 10/10 would highly recommend

If you’re a person of color, do yourself a favor, just don’t go. Racism at its finest. Take your money elsewhere. Honestly, it’s hilarious we still go through this. To paint the picture, the place we are staying at recommended a list of places to visit during our stay. We visited four of them so far, absolutely incredible. We decided to try Basso for dinner because so far the recommendations did not disappoint. As we got there, we helped a waitress grab a can since she was struggling cleaning a table from outside, we walk inside, waited for about 5 minutes. Employee walks behind the bar and serves a drinks, proceeds to peek behind the wall and speaks to someone. Now the other lady walks up to us, greets us, asked us if we have reservations. I said no. She said “Oh so sorry, we are only by reservations and are completely fulled tonight.” I just smiled. The bar was completely empty, just two plates from previous guests that still wasn’t cleaned. Front tables were empty, there was an outside table also empty. She then told us to visit their sister restaurant the Pour House. There were only white people in there; just staring at you as if you have 3 heads. I definitely should’ve read some reviews before going. Other people experienced the same and Basso hasn’t even responded to the reviews.
