Basta Trattoria
Basta Trattoria opened on December 31, 2004. Our founder, Frank Criscuolo dreamed of Basta for decades, wanting to run a sweet little Italian trattoria just like the ones he and Claire visited in Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, Capri, and Vietri Italy. A little restaurant using only the finest, freshest organic and sustainable ingredients, so fresh that a freezer would not be necessary. This dream became a reality the day Claire phoned Frank to let him know about a vacant space right next door to their award-winning vegetarian restaurant, Claire's Corner Copia. At first Frank was concerned about the size, "It's so small" but Claire assured him that "it is enough." Every concern was turned around by the word "enough" which is why when it came time to name the restaurant, Claire asked Frank "How do you say 'enough' in Italian?"
