Bascetti's Italian Grille

Bascettis is absolutely amazing. True Authentic Italian food that was the best I have ever eaten. The restaurant atmosphere is very cozy and I felt right at home. The owner Eddie is incredible he made several recommendations and actually cooked our meal. The staff was very courteous and kind. If you’re in the mood for true authentic food that is reasonable price please visit Bascettis I promise you will not be disappointed.

We waited inside the door for someone to seat us and after about 5 min. of standing there another guest got out of his seat and told us that they were low staffed and that we should just find a table and sit down. The waiter did notice us sitting there after about another 5 min. The service was very laid back and the food was okay. The best part of the meal was the bread and the heavy wine pour.

I had the Zuppa De Mare that is linguine, shrimp, clams,mussels, crab and calamari in a red sauce. It was very tasty and filling. The chef makes all the dishes southern Italian the same way his family has for generations. We had the tiramisu for dessert and I particularly liked that it wasn't too heavy on the coffee flavor. Overall a very nice experience with excellent service.

I think I need to preface this review by saying that a very good friend of mine highly recommended this place which is why we went, so my experience may have been an anomaly. I could detail the entire experience but most people don't want to hear it lol. What I will do is provide you with the highlights. To me, the biggest problem lies in the kitchen and food. -I would recommend putting a sign at the door to seat yourself -30+ minute wait with reservations -Severely understaffed which is not uncommon right now -Rude or stressed manager/owner -Other bartender/waiter as accommodating as could be and we appreciated it. -Busy so they must be doing something right -2 of 4 meals were below average in quality -I felt like my meal was just rushed out and plopped on a plate -Prices were fair -Atmosphere was basic but nice -3+hours from arrival to departure and that's with no dessert -I added a star because our server comped us without asking and she was doing everything she could do and was pleasant

The most amazing experience! Came in from out of state, and this was such a beautiful hole in the wall. The chef and owner is so authentic and made us the best Italian food i’ve ever had. Staff was extremely helpful and kind! Live music was absolutely beautiful. If we lived in FL, we would definitely be regulars. A dinner I will cherish forever❤️ Definitely a must try!

I am from Rhode Island. My father an Italian immigrant. This is the best Italian restaurant I have eaten at in Florida and even RI in the past 20 years. The food is authentic and if you don't like it you do not know good Italian food. Very reasonable pricing as well! Been there twice in the past week. Try it, you will not regret it!

I loved that the Chef came out and greated everyone. My Chicken Parm was phenomenal and the mozzarella appetizer was homemade. I gave a lower rating though for 3 reasons: 1. I asked for a simple substitute of linguine vs angel hair pasta and was told no substitute, just before the food was brought out. 2. A family members steak came out burnt on the outside. Seriously burnt. He asked for it to be cooked correctly, the kitchen sent it back to him and said there was nothing wrong with the way it was prepared. I have never experienced a restaurant that would not fix a subpar meal, and send it back to the table. A bit arrogant. 3. My GF's clam linguine was so spicy she couldn't eat it. Nothing on the menu indicated this was a spicy dish. Total waste of a meal. Even though I loved my food, I am not sure I will return due to everyone else's experience.
