Latini Ristorante - Basel

Lots of pasta delicacies, great ambience and very friendly service.

Good restaurant. Starters a bit simple. But tasty. Pasta Vongole delicious. Pricey but you know that in Basel. Service good, but not special. Just do it. Nothing wrong with it. A bit of a chicken coop in terms of sound.

The restaurant was busy, so a reservation makes sense. The waiting times for the order, the food and the bill were rather long, but that worked to our advantage because we had a lot to talk about. The food was good, a little more spice was missing. I had a risotto with asparagus and cherry tomatoes. There wasn't much asparagus, so I think Fr 26 was rather expensive for what was on the plate. Another meal of rigatoni with vegetables was good in terms of seasoning. Food changes and requests were addressed without any problem. The waiter was friendly. It was rather dark and loud in the restaurant but we could still talk to each other easily. At the table next door they had to read the map with a flashlight. There is also a selection for vegans and vegetarians and is labeled accordingly, which is what I call contemporary.

You need to ask about gf pasta because it is not listed in the menu. However, they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Gf bread was brought out. They made a custom Gf sauce for the steak and the minenstrone soup was natural gf. Here twice in Basel and had a great experience both times.

No the best of selections with only two dishes but still worth a mention. The interior is quite classy and the location relatively central. The vegan dishes are all pasta and there's currently no starter, which prevents top marks (four stars is maximum for restaurants with meat). Updated from previous review on 2020-07-22
