Basta

Reviewer by Jiawei LiWe went to Basta Pizza last Friday, it is located in the Iowa avenue, it is really closet to the campus. We  chose the" The Union Jack" pizza and "Garden pasta", the pizza includes Italian sausage, pepperoni,mushroom, onion and sweet Italian peppers. When it comes, it's really appetitive and fresh.(you can see it through pictures). The decoration in their restaurant likes put you go back to ancient times. During their excellent service you can feel their restaurant are very professional. Maybe because of all of the group members are Chinese, so we cannot appreciate the food in Basta. We just think it tastes so-so. Maybe we need to try more tastes next times. It is a good place to eat and relax!

We went there on Friday Feb 5th after class for lunch. At that time, Basta was full of students and local people. The environment there was quiet, with the small cloth stand near the chairs, it showed the classicism. As it was the first time we went there, we just ordered one pizza called "SALSICCIA". That contained homemade Italian Sausage, tomato sauce and two kinds of cheeses. It was delicious that the taste of sweet and spicy stimulated my taste bud. We are the only pizza just in few minutes, which may because we were too hungry. So we ordered the Garden Pasta that also contained tomato sauce but three kinds of cheeses and mushrooms. It was still good. In a short, I will recommend you guys to go there.

Our group had been to Basta last Friday.I think it is a pretty great place to have a meal.
I’d like to compare Basta with some restaurants that I have been to in Iowa city.In this restaurant,the staffs are very nice,as well as others.When all of us had arrived,waitress stood with patience waited for ordering.During we were eating,she came up to us and asked if food was tasting good so far.In addition,the environment there was wonderful.It is better than most restaurants I have been to.It has been decorated comfortable and mild.Music had been played in gentle volume.All of these make people enjoy their food.
As for food,I think it is a little bit expensive than others.And the taste was not that amazing,maybe because I am a Chinese.But it still better than some Chinese food restaurants.We ordered a meat pizza but I didn’t get the satisfaction of meat.But cheese on it was very nice.I think maybe this restaurant is good at making cheese-food because I have seen a kind of pizza on menu which is made with several kinds of cheese.
In conclusion,it is a good place to enjoy a meal and cheese,but not very good for someone is keen on meat,like me.
