Review Summary

Basta Osteria is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Sainte-Therese, offering an authentic and intimate Italian dining experience that many compare to a trip to Europe. Most patrons praise the fresh, high-quality ingredients, handmade pastas, and creative, frequently changing menu, with the carbonara and octopus dishes frequently highlighted as standouts. The service is consistently described as professional, warm, and highly personalized, as the owners are often present to foster a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. While a small number of diners expressed disappointment with specific pasta dishes or seasoning, the overwhelming majority of visitors recommend making a reservation in advance to enjoy what is frequently called one of the best Italian restaurants on the North Shore.

Wonderful staff, deliscious food, small space. You need to reserve ahead of time. The menu is limited, but they are little gems. Cute date night vibes!

Recently went on a date night with my boyfriend. He surprised me with this hidden gem in Ste-Therese. Authentic Italian food is hard to find & this place surpassed all expectations. Curated wine menu, authentic Italian dishes & tasty desserts. The service was great & the atmosphere felt like home. The carbonara is a must try, best carbonara I've had outside of Italy. Spoke with Chef David at the end of our meal, we are definitely coming back! 10/10 would recommend! Congrats to David & Juliette! Mangia e basta !

A fantastic experience, we visited on a whim after wanting to explore the area after moving here from Australia. I grew up with Italian adoptive parents & this is genuinely the first place in all of Canada that reminded me of nonnina's cooking & genuinely put a smile on my face.

I had the meat of the moment & my wife had risotto & we were delighted with the flavour, presentation & portion size. A single dish filled me & I couldn't even finish my wife's leftovers.

The staff were friendly, attentive & pleasant despite it being a busy evening.
Constantly checking in & being very proud, rightfully, of their wonderfully cooked dishes.

Cocktails were mixed properly instead of being mocks of popular Italian meal cocktails & were refreshing.

I will happily suggest this to anyone local or in the area & highly highly recommend if anyone wants a regular gem to visit that this be the place.

Will be an at least fortnightly customer for the foreseeable future.
