Pasta y Basta was absolutely amazing! We were on vacation in Popotla and after driving by a few times and reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. It was my boyfriends birthday so we had six people in total, one being a 9 year old. We walked in and were greeted by the wonderful staff who seated us in this quaint restaurant. Immediately we felt welcomed and our wonderful evening began. My son and I shared the ravioli soup-delicious and very filling. My boyfriend had the lentil soup which was good but was a little bland. The Calamari was shared with the table and we were all extremely impressed with this dish! The calamari was perfectly cooked and the dip was divine. For entrees we were all over the board and shared everything! We ordered pizza which was amazing! Cooked to perfection with top quality meats and sauce. We had pasta dishes that made our mouth water and meats that were perfectly cooked. We didn't think we could stuff ourselves any more but of course we had to have dessert and limoncello! Pasta y Basta was a little gem that we found! We loved it so much we went back the next night for pizzas to go and my boyfriend and I enjoyed some wine with the waiters! When we go back to Rosarito we will be visiting Pasta y Basta! Truly an amazing experience, surrounded by wonderful people. read more

Best Italian food in Rosarito. Affordable, great service and super cute. Everything is great can't go wrong with anything you order there.

I had Never considered Italian food while visiting Rosarito and I was definitely not disappointed! I decided to pass up the lobster in Puerto Nuevo and try Pasta Y Basta for my birthday dinner....BEST DECISION EVER! I had the fettuccine carbonara my partner had pollo alla pizzaiolo and our friend had fettuccine bolognese. The food was delicious and perfect portions. Very cozy ambiance and the sangria is delicious. We also ordered the insalata della casa and it was so fresh and delicious! The arugula was fresh the dressing was light. The chef was nice enough to send me a free birthday dessert. Happy I got found this little gem and definitely will be returning. Great Service Delicious food Cozy ambiance read more

Beautiful beautiful food. I ordered the ossobuco risotto and it was so good. The pork shank so well cooked and tender. The risotto is so flavorful and creamy. I'll drive ten hours if necessary to have it. The service was on point. The food came out so fast. And the restaurant is cozy with a deli inside. Love it. read more

Sweet little Italian spot in Rosarito! It's right across the street from the hotel me and my friend were staying at. We popped in looking a hot mess not realizing it's a restaurant, but either way we decided to dine and try it out. It's a cute and cozy place. Our waiter was really nice and gave his recommendations and would check in to see how we liked it. My friend got the lasagna and I got this ravioli dish made with duck and topped with drops of chocolate!! I know that sounds like a really weird combo but it was really flavorful and the creaminess of the pasta sauce went surprisingly well with the sweetness of the chocolate. It came with about 6 raviolis in all which was filling. Plus they had the free bread with oil and vinegar to munch on so I was good. It was pretty inexpensive for it being a restaurant. I want to say together we paid like $30 with the tip. You can pay in either dollars or pesos! Would definitely do again. read more

The pizza was decent, wished it had a little more flavor, overall the customer service was great. The vibes are cool, it is a spot for family to come and enjoy. read more

Okay, so I am half Italian. It worked out that way because both of my grandmothers (mom and dad's moms both) were full blooded Italians, born in Italy... so let's just say I know a thing or two about Italian food. I was a fat little kid, who grew up on gnochi, cavadelli, raviolis, lasagna, canolis (one grandma was also an Italian baker). A while back, when I was in Rosarito, BC Mexico (25 mins south of the border from San Diego) with my girlfriend and family, we ate at Pasta y Basta. Our first time there, I would say it was a 5 star + experience, EXCEPT we concluded that the lemon shrimp pasta made everyone sick (those who ate it, which I was not one of---thus how we figured out which dish made them sick)... Both times eating there, I found the maseros (service) to be 5 star service, but once again they (love them some shrimp) so they tried the lemon shrimp pasta dish and it made them sick again. So, there may be something Pasta y Basta needs to do differently in the kitchen when preparring the lemon shrimp pasta. My advice would be to avoid that particular dish, but not to avoid this restaurant. If you are in Rosarito, there is no finer Italian Ristorante than Pasta y Basta. Your other choices are places like Giuseppis (lol). Pasta y Basta is in a league of it's own as far as Italian Food in Rosarito, Mexico... just avoid the lemon shrimp pasta. read more

Pasta y Basta - Italian Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

You are missing out on the best Italian food in all the west if you Do not visit Pasta Basta. Chief Christian pays attention to all details from the second you enter his restaurant. You are pampered by the service, appetizers are incredible and main dishes are WOW. We were a group of 4, all ordered something different......all incredible. So good, we ordered bread again, which of course was served warm and lightly toasted, to sop up all the left over sauces from all plates. Save time to visit deli located onsite, total treat. Well worth the drive, located at outskirts of Rosarito. read more

This was the best meal and service we had over our 4 day trip here. We certainly did not think Italian would be our favorite meal. From start to finish the service was impeccable. The authentic atmosphere is spot on. The gnocchi is so fresh and pillowy. It was just like what I had in Italy last year! The wood fired pizza... delicious! Eggplant parmigiana so rich and full of flavor. If you're in the mood for some excellent Italian food... this place is a must! When I say service was impeccable... I MEAN IMPECCABLE!!! Each server that came to our table genuinely seemed concerned about our satisfaction. Each one went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and felt taken care of. Check it out, your taste buds will thank you. read more

The service was amazing, Lalo was our server and he was amazing..... however the food was not good at all the cheese cake and tiramisu was not cold or the temperature it supposed to. read more

Service is terrible to say the least, food isn't any better. I've had better service and food at a lunch truck.

Went back to the restaurant today with Christian the owner there at a new nice location and had among other good dishes , spaghetti freddi , an interesting fusion among Mexican and Italian cuisine, a very fresh and tasty dish very appropriate for a hot day like today. Went also to his store at the old location and I would jus add to the selection among many other interesting products of artesanal pasta some whole wheat and organic pasta read more

The pizza was not crusty on the bottom as I had asked for! The pizza tastes great but take it home if you like it cooked well done. Pasta is of inferior quality, undercooked! More show than quality! read more

Excellent service and food! This charming restaurant is too easy to miss when driving past. The decor is lovely and cozy, and staff was attentive. They brought complimentary bruschetta with marinated veggies that was delicious! The bread basket was full of fresh crusty-outside-yet-soft-inside bread and there was olive oil and balsamic to dip with. The wine list had a great selection of both local and Italian wines. We found many great options on the menu but once they shared what the special was, our mind was made up! Polenta with stewed baby octopus! It was wonderful! Then we were persuaded into dessert (by persuaded, I mean they had a dessert menu), of a wonderful fresh panna cotta served with pears cooked in a spiced red wine reduction, topped with cinnamon. All said, two wines, a large shared seafood platter, the appetizer and dessert plus tip, it was about $40 US dollars. I believe it was a great value and I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. One last side note about customer service...as we left, it was dark out and backing out of the parking space into the busy highway looked a little daunting, but a man quickly appeared wearing a bright safety vest and waving a reflective flag to manage the highway traffic behind us so we could safely back out. Not sure if he was with the restaurant or working independently, but I gave him a few dollars for the appreciated assist. read more
