I eagerly awaited the opening of Basso’s in Noe Valley. Walking by it every day left little to be desired (it looked the same as CyBelle’s…), BUT lemme tell ya, I ate there and it was d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s. Walking into the place, the renovations became more apparent as well. The fun part about this place is that it’s connected to Noe’s bar, so the atmosphere is casual and they have good c-tails.
We started with the Calamari and it was pretty darn good, not the BEST I have ever had, but good enough to order again. We had four in our party and with a pre-dinner drink each, apps., four entre’s AND a bottle of wine, each couple got out for about $75 and the food was excellent. Between the 4 of us, we enjoyed the fillet, a pizza, a New York steak and a pasta dish. All were very very good.
The chef came up and introduced himself to us and even hinted on a great way to make brussel sprouts (they came with the steak and were awesome). We liked this place so much we decided to go back and it was just as good. Service was perfect, pizza was good, wine was better. I can’t wait to go back! This is just what Noe Valley needed, a fresh twist on a family restaurant.

There’s no excuse for subpar calamari in Noe Valley.
PS, Unless you don’t want people to comment, you need to change your layout so the comment box isn’t four screens downpage. I thought at first you didn’t allow comments.
