Best Italian Restaurants in Basel

, 4 Options Found

What would Basel be without Bodega? The restaurant tends to get rather noisy but its atmosphere is inspiring and the spaghetti is very good. Situated on the Barfüsserplatz, it is much-favored by advertising and other creative types as well as well-versed watering-hole patrons! You can't always hear yourself speak on the ground floor and it is the busiest part of the restaurant; a place where people come to enjoy a beer or a coffee. Thanks to the elegantly laid-out tables, the first floor is a bit more chic but the story is still the same: it usually gets jam-packed. If you want to dine on the top-floor you will definitely need to book a table, especially on weekends. Call for details.

Da Roberto is only a stone's throw away from the railway station. This restaurant is entirely devoted to Italian cuisine. It can be difficult to get a table here at lunchtime as the restaurant is popular with office workers from the many local firms. The service is friendly and relaxed, and the food is served unpretentiously, almost like a bar in Rome. The interior is composed of the colors of the Italian flag, but is unobtrusive nonetheless. The antipasti, fish, and pasta can all be highly recommended, and the lunch menu offers good value for money.

Chez Donati is an old Italian meeting place for the artists in Basel. Well known for its artistic decor, the restaurant emphasizes on food from the region of Piedmont. Classic as well as contemporary Italian food is served here. The wood paneled walls, neutral color, Murano chandeliers and modern art on the walls set the ambiance. You will find signed works by Andy Warhol, Jean Tinguely and Jean Michel Basquiat hanging on the walls. The chefs are well known for their Antipasti and Osso Buco and their specialty is Braised beef and fresh fish.

Birseckerhof is sure to takes you back to times gone by. Imposing pillars hold up the high ceiling, exquisite art dresses the walls and antique lamps complete the ambiance. The staff can be a tad moody sometimes, but at times they are cordial and prompt. Both lunch and dinner are reasonably priced, and the menu changes frequently. Don't forget to try the house wine. Even the homemade desserts are fresh and fabulous.
