Pasta Y Basta

Came here for the first time because of the great reviews. Food is fantastic! Authentic Italian and not your fast food Italian. Chef Christian Gritti is very genuine. Will be back.

Delicious, came here for memorial day weekend and stumbled across Pasta Y Basta! Food was absolutely delicious as well as great service!
Sad they’re closed on a monday or we would’ve been there today!

Shocker to find such good food south of the border. The chef is from Brescia near Milan. He’s amazingly talented and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Cash only. American dollars.

We stopped by for a quick Sunday lunch and we were surprised at the quality of the food, the ambiance of the surroundings and the collective warm and friendly personality of the wait staff. The onion soup was not a French Onion, but rather a creamy, heavier-​bodied version of the more familiar French style. The fettuccine was home made and perfectly cooked. The puttanesca sauce was a little salty and we prefer more Kalamata olives and anchovies. But the best part of the experience was the friendliness and helpfulness of the wait staff. Their English is perfect, so it’s easy to understand their opinions on your selections. We came because of a recommendation from some friends who live in the area. We highly recommend the restaurant and the supervision of owner-​chef Christian Gritti. This place is a winner!

This place was amazing! We had such a great time chatting with the chef and wait staff. We had amazing meals and the panna cotta was out of this world. The homemade limoncello will knock your socks off!

I’ve spent plenty of time in all parts of Italy. Who knew all I needed to do was walk down the street from my Rosarito condo. Easily the best Italian in Baja and some of the best food I’ve eaten. Love this place…

Hands down the best and only Italian restaurant in Rosarito Beach that’s worthy of my rating. Omg
Octopus appetizer please try it. Everything else great!

We have to agree this is very, very authentic Italian at ¹⁄₃ of the price anywhere else in the world. We had black ink pasta with calamari in Aurora «pink sauce» that was heavenly and local grouper stewed in a bag with polenta on the side. Service is excellent and personable. There was nothing on the menu over $ 15 and quality was out of this world. Chef/​owner Christian makes the best Limoncello I’ve ever had (like the food), in my entire life, here and in Italy.
Call first, the owners (Chef Christian and front of the house Bonnie) were having a baby ¼/​16 and might take a couple of weeks off. Isn’t love wonderful! Best wishes to the new parents and child.

Went because there were great reviews on this place. Ambiance was good and staff nice. Food. sub standard. Hardly any sea food in seafood pasta and most old, over cooked and rubbery. Very small portions on salmon and so so. Alfredo watery and got last serving of Oso Buco BEFORE rush of dinner hour. Probably won’t go again

Excellent Italian cusine. homemade pasta… Excellent service. Best in Rosarito, authentic. you have to try the homemade lemoncello… nice after dinner drink

Food is fantastic, true authentic Italian cuisine. Staff is friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant, the Risotto was amazing.

Awesome, authentic Italian place south of the border! I had the beef stew appetizer with the pesto ravioli-​so delicious and so fresh! Literally you could taste Italy each bite! Bonnie and her hubby, the chef were so kind and so was my server. I think his name was Giovanni. I will definitely be back and next time with friends!!!

Fantastic authentic Italian food with amazing service. Chef is from Milan Italy and food was some
Of the best I have ever had — and I have eaten at some of the best Italian restaurants around. Wait staff was fantastic and make sure you don’t miss the home brewers limoncello.
