BASTA — Italian classics in the heart of Gävle
If you’re craving proper Italian food, you don’t need to go far from Söderfors — just about 30 minutes south to Gävle. BASTA sits right on Drottninggatan and is the kind of place people love to return to.
The restaurant is known for its homemade pasta and pizza with good bread, and many swear by the chicken pasta. Tiramisu is something of a signature dish that guests can’t stop raving about. The staff are friendly and helpful — you can tell they care about making sure you have a good experience.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with lovely décor that creates a comfortable feel without being stiff. It’s a good spot for a casual weeknight dinner or when you want to do something a bit special on the weekend. Reviews are consistently positive, and guests appreciate the combination of good food, friendly staff and a pleasant setting.
It’s moderate pricing — not cheap, but many reckon it’s worth the money for the quality you get. On Fridays and Saturdays they’re open late into the night, which is perfect if you fancy a late dinner at the weekend.
