Late last month, I took my wife to Basso, on her birthday, for lunch. I know, lunch sounds so taboo considering that most restaurants only open around 4 or 4:30 and even so, only open for dinner and after-hours. But, as I said, I went there for lunch. They do serve a lunch and on a weekend when it is cold outside and you want to go someplace nice and warm and have great food...then go to Basso.
I want to warn you though, Basso may just be my favorite restaurant in St. Louis. The prices are very reasonable, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and comforting while still young and hip, the chef is amazing and everything is going for this place. So, this review and write-up may seem a little biased.
First off, we ordered a Basso salad, the Mafalda (which doesn't look like it is available on the lunch menu anymore), a cauliflower soup and pizza, that they had split in half where one side had shrimp and the other side had poblano peppers and sausage.

Everything was delicious. Period.
Why are you still reading this? Basso is awesome. They get my best of Tasty Magazine for 2013, for Best Restaurant. Go there, eat there and you will love it. Tell them I sent you, why not! It is so cool, they even have valet parking. Come'on, take the wife there before you finish your Christmas shopping. Stop there, then go to the Galleria. It is a win-win situation.
