Basta

Voted the Best Italian Restaurant in Johnson County by readers of the Iowa City Press-Citizen, Basta is an upscale pizzeria and ristorante serving up modern Italian cuisine, Napoli-style pizza, and plenty of wine by the bottle or glass just a block away from the Old Capitol. Bring Fido along to several dog-friendly outdoor tables and start out with dates hand-stuffed with Italian sausage and topped with pancetta, Gorgonzola, and Calabrian chile tomato sauce, then go for a Hanger Steak or Margherita pizza. Pasta specials include Crab Spaghetti and Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli. Basta is open seven days a week from 11:00am to 10:00pm. Visit Website
