Amazing food and great atmosphere! My boyfriend and I went for a date night and made a reservation ahead of time and it was the best experience ever! Parking was a little hectic, but we went at 6:00 pm, and for a Saturday night it did not seem that busy yet.

If they are staying at the hotel, yep, great place for a bite. But the building is loud; we made reservations but we’re out at a tabletop, which we thought was weird. The food was good, but we aren’t 100% sure that my husband’s order was what he ordered. It could have been his fault, but we’ll never know. If you have time to venture out into the city, try that - there are a lot of places with more advanced menus, prices and atmosphere.

Service is ALWAYS good here—-and it starts at the beginning when you enter and walk to the receptionist’s desk. Very welcoming.

on a very cold night the smell of the wood burning pizza oven, and an open fireplace provided a welcoming atmosphere.

We had a very enjoyable evening. Great ambiance. Cool vibe. Great service. Our waitress was sweet, very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was very good. I wish I would have tried the pizza...plan to do so next time. Looking forward to the next time.

Basso is always a great time. I enjoy going here with a group, or to grab a drink at the bar with a date.

Service was excellent but that's about it. My favorite dish, Mafalda Ragu, is no longer on the menu. Replaced by mafalda with a white wine sauce. My date's hamburger bun was stale. And the brussel sprout appetizer was more like a side dish in terms of portion, about 12 pieces.

waitress took remaining food without asking if we were done while we were sitting right there. It happened so quick we were unable to say anything before she took the plate and placed something on top of it. Also, after we received food, very rarely were we checked on. It was a large group of us with 4 tables. Otherwise, orders were accurate but was surprised when bar closed at 12 with last call on new years eve. If holding a new years eve event, should probably presume to accept bar orders until 12:30 latest
