Overall, Basta Osteria is described as an authentic Italian dining experience with house-made pasta, fresh ingredients, and dishes that arrive with balanced, comforting flavors. The menu changes every two weeks, yet staples like carbonara stay on the menu, and favorites such as octopus carpaccio and a seafood chowder appear in reviews. The ambiance is intimate, cozy, and reminiscent of a small European bistro, with a welcoming, homey vibe. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive, warm, and personal, with staff making guests feel valued and often engaging in friendly conversation. The kitchen is celebrated for its fresh pastas, including tagliatelle al ragù, and for a thoughtful wine list featuring private-imported selections. While most feedback is glowing and many call it a hidden gem, occasional notes mention busy noise or rare hiccups such as a dessert issue, all generally handled with good hospitality. Overall, it comes across as a beloved, authentic spot in Sainte Therese that draws repeat visits and strong recommendations.

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.
