Food was amazing!! Ordered food to go, had a chance to meet and chat with the owner while I waited for my order. Very nice, easy to talk to, you can tell that he demands his employees to provide great service. Both my wife and I are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Finding an authentic Italian joint sometimes can be a challenge, but Pasta y Basta and it's chef owner are the real deal! I brought the fam here for dinner and we all had a great time and delicious food. We ordered a couple pizzas, a calzone, chicken Parmesan, and dessert. You can definitely tell the ingredients are fresh and natural and the sauce in everything was super tasty. We got there around 5 before their rush and were able to leave within a decent time. Our waiter also gave us great service even thought I never noted his name. I highly recommend this spot and I'll definitely come back on a return trip to Rosarito! read more

Great service. Little Italian place south of rosarito. The lasagna is bomb! Great place... nice and intimate. Great place to relax.

Excellent food, service. Never disappointed. Will be back with the family. Pasta is fresh and homemade.

We were here on 5/15/22. Every dish we ordered was amazing and the service was on point. Servers Jesus and Lalo were very attentive, polite, friendly, and appropriately informative with regards to the restaurants story and the food items. They set expectations and Superseded them. Now let's talk about the food... - calamari with marinara sauce= great taste, the tempura crust and the sauce combined for a great balanced flavor. - margarita pizza = great crust and Tomato sauce. I think it would be a notch better if they used fresh mozzarella (burrata) - Casoncelli = ravioli stuffed with pork and other amazing things. The pancetta butter sauce was light with a perfect hint of Parmesan cheese - Spaghetti frutti di mare = pasta was cooked to perfection, then tossed in their tomato sauce with several seafood ingredients. Tastes was balanced and not overwhelming of ocean water. - Ossubuco con risotto = super tender pork cooked in tomato sauce, great flavor and the risotto was soooo creamy and buttery. - Costillas de puerco en salsa de tomato(especial)= great taste, a little similar to the pork dish but distinct enough to have its own identity. - Tiramisu= OMG. Please save room for this dish! Creamy, and not overly sweet. They also have a great list of local wines (Valle de Guadalupe) read more

Excellent food and great service. The chef is from northern Italy, and they make all of their pastas in house. I had the fettuccine bolognese, which is one dish that I use to compare Italian restaurants. The pasta was excellent (clearly superior to the dry pastas that most places use), and the bolognese sauce was good (very generous on the meat). On par with the better Italian restaurants that I've eaten at in Mexico or in the United States. read more

Best Italian spot we've been to and we live in Orange County! The chef is from Italy and knows his Italian food. My husband got the lasagna and I got the Linguine Al Limone. The Chardonnay was also amazing. Staff incredible. Recommend all of it read more

Amazing dining experience in Baja Mexico, you wouldn't find this restaurant anywhere else. The food was absolutely delicious and authentic Italian, made from the heart of Mama's kitchen.!!! Excellent service and the lentils special for the new year was delicious!! read more

Great team service. The food was excellent and the bread might have been the best bread we have ever eaten. We highly recommend this place.

Oh my god! This is hands down the best Italian food I've ever had! A good friend's mom brought me here, raving about how good it is and she was not at all wrong. I opted for "CASONCELLI (My city, Bergamo's typical dish a ravioli stuffed with beef, pork, parsley, garlic served w/parmesan, butter, sage & pancetta)" It literally was like butter with the most delectable Smokey meat flavor. It is totally worth crossing the border for Pasta y Basta. You must try this place at least once! Phenomenal food, fantastic service and a great ambiance. read more

Excellent italian restaurant: the food, service, nr ambiance are always top notch. They have a multi course wine pairing option that I highly recommend. read more

Horrible service Pizza was good but Ordered date pie with vanilla ice cream. And brought something else and didn't apologize, he just said , that is all we have. Also served the beer in a glass , with out asking if we wanted served in glass or from the bottle . Server was Salvador read more

Finally made it this special place and it did not disappoint. We did the 4 course meal with wine pairings. It is a great way to try many of Chef Christian's delicious works of art paired with only the best wine from the Valle. Every dish was cooked perfectly and the taste was divine. The service was outstanding and with all the Italian being spoken for a moment you feel like you could possibly be in Italia. I know that Northern Italian Cuisine is not what your usually craving in Baja, but if you try Pasta y Basta at least once. I swear it will become one of your Baja cravings. Don't think about it...just go! read more

Delicious food! We had steak, pizza, fettuccine and a caprese salad. We also had wine that complimented our meals and they were the perfect choice. The service was exceptional, over the top, friendly, accommodating and I have to say best service I've ever experienced. The ambiance was buzzing with great vibes and no room to be anything other than positivity! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely returning soon. read more

Great Italian. Best one in town IMO. Pizza dough is a bit doughy for me but great flavor. Friendly staff. Great ambiance.

I love this place. The food is fantastic, the people are so nice. The pizza is delicious, so are all of the pastas. I had the lasagne for the second time, and the burned cheese on the bottom is like a treasure you have to dive for. We had an appetizer, a salad, 2 entrees, a pizza, one dessert, an espresso, and two bottles of wine. Grand total was $120. Pricey for Rosarito standards but friendly compared to LA. You can charge your card using pesos and it's usually a few dollars cheaper than charging dollars. read more

Pasta y Basta - Pepperoni pizza - Italian Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

The food here was absolutely tasty, and I feel that our server was extremely nice, and treated us very well. We ordered a pizza and a type of pasta that was absolutely amazing. Although, in my opinion, a little on the pricy side, even with the USD to MX peso conversion, we would still return here for a nice dinner experience and good food. It's convenient location to where we were staying close to Rosarito was crucial for us. We probably could have walked here actually. If you are in the area, and would like a nice Italian cuisine with friendly servers who speak Spanish AND English, look no further than this joint! read more

Why oh why do I have to travel to Mexico to find good authentic Italian food?!?! This place is truly a blessing to eat at. Located in the outskirts of Rosarito outside of the main tourist strip right next to a metal shop is small but elegant little place where they Italian traditions and flavors are well respected and represented by young chef Christian Gritti. The main reason that I decided to try this place was because of their mention of fresh made pasta. And fresh it was! We had some pizza's (amazing) thin but airy fresh made dough, Fettuccine Bolognese (amazing and my favorite) fresh made pasta in a simple but incredibly flavorful, House Salad (amazing) and of course their house made desserts, Tiramisu and ended with a homemade limoncello.. Everything was delicious and well worth the trip. Forget the other subpar places in the area, this place is the real deal. I really did not even get a chance to take pictures of the food, it looked so good and we where really hungry but I did get a couple of shots of dessert so enjoy! Also before I forget, if you plan to have a party larger than five, call ahead to make a reservation especially on the weekend. read more

Great service and tasty food. We have been going then often for the past 5 years and always had great experiences.

Nothing spectacular- basic food. Ambience is nice but food is overrated for the price

By far, this was the best meal we had the entire week we spent in Rosarito! Chef Christian is extremely talented and puts excellent attention to detail on his menu. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Our server, Jesus, was also top notch. All of his recommendations were wonderful, from the appetizers, to the wine, main course and dessert. Our group sampled the minestrone, arugula salad, margarita pizza, osso bucco, casoncelli, and the caserecci verdi, and the pana cotta for dessert. Everything was amazing! Do yourself a favor and avoid eating at Betuccini's and go to Pasta y Basta. Better food, better service, better ambiance. We can't wait to go back! read more

Good Food, Good Service what more can you ask for. First time here and everything was on the mark at Pasta y Basta. Fortunately it's a half a block from out Beach House. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Thanks read more

The actual location of the restaurant has changed to a building 150 feet further south. The new, larger location is in the 2nd week of operation and working smoothly of the customers. It is a bit confusing since there still is a neon sign for the business at the former location. Hope they move that soon. Here is my original review: Looking for a change in your meal plan while in Baja? Tired of the world's best tacos? There is help. Pasta y Basta is a great place for some Italian dishes. Extensive menu, really polite and engaged servers. Alfredo is a real charming man. A visit to your table by the owner Christian. We had appetizers, pasta, specialities and beer. All were very good. Strongly recommend. Very popular with the Expat/gringo crowd. You might need reservations, especially on Friday and Saturday. I will never eat at Betuccini's Pizzeria & Trattoria down the street again read more

Came here for the first time 2 weeks ago during COVID-19 and let me tell you everything from the service to food were top notch. They were strict on health guidelines ( temperature checks, limited seating, spacing) yet made sure our experience felt as normal as possible. The waiter we got was nothing but amazing. I can also say everyone in my party left an empty plate. Delicious authentic quality Italian food. You won't find this very often. We will be traveling back to Rosarito just specifically for this restaurant. Highly recommend! ( we tried pizza, pastas & steaks ) NOTE : they speak English Venimos aquí por la primera vez hace 2 semanas durante COVID-19 y deje les digo que todo desde el servicio hasta la comida fueron excelente. Fueron estrictos con protocolos de salud ( chequeo de temperatura, espacios limitados, espacio entre clientes ) pero aún así se aseguraron de hacer nuestra experiencia lo más normal possible. El mesero que nos toco fue nada que excelente. Puedo también decir que todos en mi mesa dejaron sus platos vacíos. Deliciosa autentica comida italiana de calidad. No encontrarán esto muy seguido. Vamos a estar viajando a Rosarito de nuevo específicamente para comer aquí. Grandemente recomendable ! ( comimos pizza, pastas y steaks ) read more

First I have to tell you that this place makes the best Carpassio Di Piovra. I have tried this dish before but never cooked as good as here. Very nice balance of herbs and perfectly cooked octopus just yummy. I definitely recommend this dish on the menu. Also pizza was very good as well. Second is prices are amazingly cheap and affordable. Third seafood is super surer fresh. Forth very good vine selection. And nice people work there. Seriously impressed by the quality of people that work there. Great service and delicious food what else guy can ask for?! Anyways highly recommend by me. read more

Can't believe it's been five years that we've been coming here. Nothing has changed, it is still an incredible dining experience. Christian and his team of fabulous waiters always make you feel like family. Some of our favorites are of course the lasaña and spaghetti with the meat sauce they are so delicious, so savory and filling. Some of our favorites: To start we love the Calamari , it has the perfect crunch and the marinara is fresh and flavorful. We then get the insalata de la casa is a simple arugula, Parmesan with a lemon vinaigrette is a perfect light salad that can be enjoyed with any dish. My daughter's and my favorite is the Casoncelli which is a ravioli stuffed with pork/beef, with garlic served with a parmesan butter with sage. So flavorful my mouth is watering just writing about it. Hubby's favorite which are many but he loves the Maccheroni is a pasta with capers, anchovies and olives in a red sauce. Really flavorful and so good. Every dish is delicious. We top off with a limoncello and the Lemon Sorbet with strawberries. I could go on and on but visit the restaurant and you'll think you're in Italy! Enjoy! read more

They delivered when nobody else would and the food was excellent! Happy New Year Pasta team.
