Last night I got dinner with my dad who was in town for work. Since my dad tends to only eat Japanese or Italian wherever he is traveling, we decided why not go to a Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant? Apparently, we have come here before as a family when I was still in preschool (no recollection at all). That means that Basta Pasta has been in NY for over two decades!
When I walked in, I immediately felt as if I were transported back to Japan. I don't really know how to describe it, but there's definitely a very unique Japanese/Italian ambiance that is specific to Japan.
We started out with a grilled octopus antipasto and salmon carpaccio. For the pasta course, I chose the Uni (sea urchin) spaghetti. We shared the seared duck with mustard kale and mushrooms for the main entree. Everything was delicious and not too heavy! I even had room for dessert (always). I picked my favorite of all times: FLAN!
