About
Walking into Basi Italia, you'll find a small dining room with a large wood fireplace and a cozy neighborhood vibe. This Italian spot in Victorian Village serves dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm. The owners clearly love what they do, and it shows in the food and atmosphere. Depending on the weather, you can eat on the patio or inside near the fire.
The menu changes but always features fresh, honest Italian cuisine. Some reviewers note the staff has personality, so don't expect stiff formality. If you're craving a relaxed meal with good food and wine, this is a solid choice. Reservations are recommended given the small space.

From the community
“eating at a friends”
The space is so tiny it feels like you're at a friend's house, not a typical restaurant.

“good food but very small and not gay”
A lot of places on this list just happen to have some gay staff working there. The food is good, but don't expect an explicitly gay atmosphere.

“Hard to find, but worth the search!”
This is definitely one of our top restaurants! Whether for a special occasion or a last-minute decision, we have always been very happy with our visits, even when things weren't perfect. The owners are wonderful people who love people, food, and wine, and it shows every time. The indoor dining area is small, but the patio is excellent. The food is consistently above average, though we've encountered some snobby diners who think the staff shouldn't have any personality. If you're one of those uptight types, go somewhere else. Basi Italia is about enjoying life, food, wine, and friends. And when you can get some of the best meals around, it makes for a special night every time.
