We came here twice in a week. Both times, food and service were amazing. We had Josh as our server twice this week. We had to come
Back as last time we saw the delicious aged beef’s and it looked delicious! And it tasted amazing with the smoke mesquite flavor. We had ordered the ribeye and price was according to how heavy the beef was. We also ordered the zoodles pasta ( that was so so) and the Basta rustic gem (delicious!).
Last time we had dinner with friends and did family style where we got to try the various dishes. We had the appetizer which had the calamari and fish (delicious), cavatelli pasta (tasty), sausage pizza, and the whole
Chicken (flavorful). For dessert, we tried the caramel pudding (a bit sweet) and the the bread pudding (à la mode. Delicious)
Ambiance is more on the dimmed light romantic mood. They have an open kitchen where you can see them cooking though the windows. They have both outdoor seating (with heat lamps) and indoor and bar seating.

We came to Basta tonight for pasta and ordered the calzone — absolutely delicious.
Perfectly baked, golden crust, stuffed with fresh ingredients, and full of flavor.
Then we had to try dessert… and it did not disappoint.
The cappuccinos were spot on — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — and the tiramisu was outstanding.
Light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness to finish the meal.
Warm, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently great food from start to finish.
If you’re in Thousand Oaks and craving authentic Italian comfort food, this place is a must.
Five stars all the way — we’ll definitely be back. ✨

The interior design of the restaurant was so nice to look up at when you weren’t diving into the authentic yet approachable food. The service was excellent as they accommodated my party of 7 including setting up a table for the younger kids next to ours and serving them as they were paying customers. The wait staff was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. We’re excited to come back and try more menu items.

Great food, great service, liked the vibe.
We got especial appetizers three slides was really light and testy and had a pasta with vodka sauce, different and delicious. Tiramisu was good too.
The price was really fair too.
The only thing, no reservations and you need to wait for almost half an hour.

BASTA is easily the best Italian restaurant you’ll find in the Thousand Oaks area. From handcrafted pastas and wood-fired pizzas to classic Italian entrees made with fresh ingredients, every dish delivers rich, authentic flavor you won’t soon forget. Reviews consistently praise the quality of the food and the lively, welcoming atmosphere, and I personally concur with all of them.
If you get Robert as your server, consider yourself lucky—he’s attentive, warm, and genuinely enhances the experience—but every member of the staff I’ve encountered has been excellent. The combination of outstanding service and delicious food makes Basta a standout choice for both date nights and casual dinners. Yum!

Absolutely fantastic all around. If you haven’t been? Then what are you waiting for. Highly recommend this location. They usually have a special or special. We always make sure to try at least one.

Reason for visiting: brother’s birthday dinner
Date/time of visit: Saturday night, ~6:00 PM
Parking: Street parking, free. they offer valet too but there’s plenty of parking. Not sure how much valet was. There’s parking across the street for Tarantula Brewery; pretty sure you can park there and no one would know.
Party size: 5
Environment/ambience: busy; there’s no reservations so you have to come in person. This Basta just recently opened (there’s another one in Agoura Hills) so assume it’s a little easier to get in here. 5 min wait but we came early.. around 5:45 – 6:00 PM. The Agoura location is usually an hour+ wait. It was ok at the start but got really stuffy and hot at the end. Restrooms are clean. Pretty busy overall. Small bar area with the NBA playoffs on. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Service: was great. He provided the specials, etc and recommended what we should order. Came around pretty often and refilled water (water was sooo good for some reason ). No complementary dessert for 50th birthday!
Food: had the complimentary bread + vinegar and balsamic, Tagliatelle al Ragu, Fiorentine, Burrata + Beets, El Volti wine, Gnocchi, Salsiccia e Funghi Pizza, and the desserts, Lava Cake and Butter cake. Everything was good.
Cost: $450 with tip
Would I go back (yes/no): 70/30

Decided to try out the Thousand Oaks location with some friends on a Saturday evening and overall it was a pleasant experience, however, it seemed to be slightly lacking compared to previous experiences at the Agoura location. We arrived at 6pm to put our names in and there was already about an hour wait which was somewhat expected as they don’t take reservations. Tarantula Brewing Co. is conveniently located across the street if you wanted to wait things out over a cold brew (recommend). There is valet parking, however, there is plenty of street parking and depending on how busy it is you may just have to walk a little bit. The service has always been great whenever I dine at Basta and this occasion was no different. Very attentive server and once seated we had drinks order and bread on the table. We shared a handful of things on this occasion…Basta Meatballs, Spaghettini Vongole, Tagliatelle Al Ragu & the Caprese Pizza. All were very good though the Vongole was not as good as past times and the Caprese pizza wasn’t quite what we expected (cold toppings on hot pizza). The Meatball and Ragu was delicious! We finished things off with the Tirmisu (good but not my fave and have had much better) and the gluten-free carrot cake which was easily the favorite on the table. It’s usually always busy inside the restaurant, so the atmosphere is lively, however, it’s definitely not the place to go for a quiet evening out if that’s what you’re after.

Basta Thousand Oaks is open with a limited menu Tonight, Saturday and Sunday 5pm -9pm. You can come in and check it out. The food is awesome. They’re still planning on having their grand opening on December 5th. Located across the street from Tarantula Hill Brewing Co.
