Classic Italian food on Gamla torget
BASTA is one of Uppsala’s more established restaurants, and it’s easy to see why. Located right on Gamla torget, it offers a nice blend of good Italian food, a cosy atmosphere and staff who genuinely care about making sure you have a good evening.
The pizzas are the main draw here — that’s what people come for. Classics like Numero uno (a white pizza with creamy sauce instead of tomato) and many other variations fill the menu. Reviewers rave about the quality of the pizzas and the fact that the kitchen is flexible with allergies and customisation requests.
Atmosphere and service that stands out
What comes up again and again in reviews is the staff — they’re attentive, friendly and make you feel welcome. The outdoor seating is a highlight in summer, with a nice view towards the cathedral. Inside it’s cosy and lively without being overwhelming.
The restaurant opens as early as 11:30 on weekdays and stays open late on Fridays and Saturdays (until 01:00), so it works for both a quick lunch and a late night out.
