Scoring top marks from diners, some of whom call their meal at this Rhode Island restaurant one of the best they've ever had, Basta is known for its impeccable service and eclectic menu.

On a lovely day, you might want to grab a seat on the quaint outdoor patio. The indoor dining area also oozes charm, so you can't go wrong no matter where you sit.

Sip a glass of wine or a tasty cocktail - like the Moscow mule. Jumbo shrimp cocktail or oysters perfectly complement a delicious drink.

While the menu's brimming with deliciousness, you definitely want to try one of the homemade pasta dishes. The pasta is made from scratch each morning.

Linguine alle vongole, for example, is made with littleneck clams, garlic, white wine, and fresh garlic.

The cavatelli con saliccia features the restaurant's housemade sausage with white wine and garlic. For a cheesy dish, try the tortellini alla vodka.

Basta is known for something else too, and that's its pizza. It's only one of 100 restaurants that serves AVPN-certified pizza (authentic Neopolitan pizza).
