Nestled in the heart of Victorian Village, Basi Italia is a small, casual, feel-good restaurant featuring clean, simple Italian fare with innovative twists. Basi focuses on being an approachable relaxed dining experience with a strong commitment to true hospitality. Chef John Dornback and wife Trish Gentile bring the importance of food, friends and fellowship that they embrace in their personal lives to the restaurant setting of Basi Italia. Imagine steaming plates of sumptuous food on intimate tables; friends and neighbors eating, drinking good wine and sharing their experiences with one another. Weather permitting, dining is available on the courtyard terrace where wine specialists and tastings are often an option. On chilly evenings, enjoy sitting around our wood burning stove with your friends. Full service dining, carry out and delivery are all available. Ask about our catering menu for large group take out. Full service catering also available at limited off site venues.

The Worst Service in the Universe
By RCIATWORK on 06/25/2008
I visited Basi yesterday and enjoyed the finest italian meal in a longtime. The food deserved the best rating, the service from the front door to the patio was the worst. I had the displeasure to have a server named Dave who has absolutley no business being a server. The man is on auto pilot and has never heard of customer service. Dave will do well in a military enviroment. It is a shame as the service "washed away" the good tasting food.

don't use the valet
By thatonechick5 on 07/17/2007
I live a block away from Basi and the parking is a problem. The signs around Basi all state "please respect our neighbors, use the valet" however the valet service parks on the streets around the restaurant. If you visit, use the Giant Eagle parking lot. It is one block away and (despite what the signs would have you think) they do not tow. I've had friends park there for several days. Don't pay $4 plus tip just to have them park on our neighborhood streets.
