BASTA OSTERIA: Discover the simplicity and authenticity of Italian cuisine. Taste our handmade pasta and privately imported wines, and share heartwarming moments.
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.
Première visite avec des amis . Tout est parfait dans les saveurs de chacun des plats . J'y ai mangé le meilleur veau pané ( mais pas trop juste assez ) de ma vie ( petit bémol le veau ne vient pas avec des pâtes . Le plat de pâtes choisi celui à la Calabrese ! Un gout piquant pas trop peu & pas trop fort bien dosé ont sent l'amour fans chaque plat ! Pour dessert le cannelloni était apparement meilleur que ceux mangés en Italie bref il est PARFAIT . Les prix sont juste . Pssst Bientot le four à pizza sera faire honneur à ce magnifique resto de quartier .

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 !
Un vrai coup de coeur! Le service attentionné & les plats pleins de saveurs. Les pâtes maison sont exceptionnelles & tout est fait avec soin. Une belle adresse! On y retourne sans hésiter!
Just what Ste-Therese needed..
When you love what you do, you create a masterpiece...
From the warm welcome at the door to the magic in our plates Basta is the new go to in Ste Therese.
Every item chosen was served hot & with a smile,one of the owners is in the front room while the other is in the kitchen making magic.

Notre première fois & assurément nous allons y retourner. Très très bon restaurant italien. Pâte fraîche, dessert fait maison, des plat savoureux & authentiques une carte de vin d'importation privé découvrir. Une ambiance de petit bistro européen relaxe avec comptoir bar. Un service personnalisé une ambiance décontractée. Je vous suggère de réserver pour ne pas rater cette expérience de saveur. Donc pour les amateurs de pieuvre, un'must' leur pieuvre braisée est à découvrir. Tagliatelles al Ragù un régal & pour les desserts, nous avons pris l'assiette de dégustation desserts, c'était sublime !

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.
Propriétaire incroyable, super amicale, avec une ambiance calme & une bonne fond de music. Nous avons adoré tout le menu, excellent portion & plein l'assiette.
