  • Great for creative cocktails
Leisurely cafe by day, Bastia transforms to a Mediterranean restaurant by night and draws culinary inspiration from the sun-drenched islands of Corsica and Sardinia

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tyler Akin

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed chef Tyler Akin is back with Bastia, his stylish Mediterranean restaurant inside Fishtown’s Anna & Bel hotel. Snag a seat at one of the green marble bar tops or at a cozy table by the fireplace to dig into seafood-forward dishes like sea urchin butter tartine paired with playful cocktails and riffs on classic aperitivi. Either way, the all-day cafe is made for lingering, just like his beloved and now-shuttered Res Ispa was.

    Ambiance felt like a cozy, chic family dinner by the fire. Cocktails were excellent, the milk punch with the labneh foam might be one of the best drinks I’ve had! Seafood and pasta was so fresh and complex flavors. Makes me want to go to Corsica and the Mediterranean asap!

    Bastia is a gem! The food, ambience, and hospitality are all on point. I recommend ordering family style so you can try as many different dishes as possible. They are all so unique and thoughtfully crafted.

    This is my 2nd time coming to Bastia. Initially the first review of the menu is a little difficulty to understand but when you have the right server who explains the pattern and each section it gives you a glimpse and idea what to order. It seems that the people who are servers really need to have a strong command of this menu as its complicated from the eyes of a well versed, wordly traveled and exploratory eater I had to take more time to review. I have seen folks on their phone trying to understand menu which is understandable. But again, the server must share this from the start and do not ask "do you have questions" as most people are too shy to share their confusion and feel embarrassed. The food is delicious and my children who are 9 and 10 are totally in love with the complexity and well prepared/seasoned and presentation of the food. Excellent job! The servers to to help each other but the person who delivers the food too has to be enthusiastic and present the food well w/ eloquence and sophistication. That all sounds good but keep up the great work. I did love and enjoy this plus the fruit that is given at end for a traditional thank you and good health.

    We had the fix price brunch. Offerings were unique and fresh. Four small salads to share were included. Roasted Carrot. Roasted Beet. Poached apple and fennel/citrus. The main negative is parking is difficult. They gave me the code to the valet parking lot which is five blocks away.

    We had a lovely experience at Bastia. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were friendly and provided service like a well oil machine. The food was incredible. We hade the shaved artichoke salad -bright- tasted like sunshine. My husband had the swordfish brochettes and he could have eaten 10 more skewers. I had the homemade pasta with sausage, deliciously spicy and yummy. We finished with Pistachio gelato on olive oil cake. The perfect blend of sweet and savory. 10 out of 10 for us!
