Quanto Basta Italian Eatery & Wine Bar

Fantastic service and incredible food. Wasn't too loud either. We ordered a bunch of stuff and all the appetizers and desserts were wonderful! Everybody also loved their entrees.

We are in town visiting family and opted to try Quanto Basta. Our server, Lynette, was exceptional, both with service and recommendations. I had the Shrimp Scampi Risotto, and my wife had the Chicken Picata. Both dishes were delectable and well presented. The atmosphere is relaxing, and it is easy to carry on a conservation. I highly recommend everyone to try this restaurant.

The atmosphere is really nice and chill. I tried a few things from the menu and the wait was not long at all. Once the food arrived I was excited because it all looked GREAT....I tasted it and was almost immediately disappointed. The more the I ate the more disappointed I got. I thought maybe I was coming down with a cold or something that threw my taste buds off but I was indeed fine it was the un-barely-seasoned food. I was really hoping this place would knock it out the park but it left me desiring more. It's not all bad though, the pizza was good and I would recommend for sure.

(3.5 stars) Classier and pricier than a neighborhood red sauce joint but more modestly priced than Cibo, Quanto Basta is a solid option that unfortunately falls into the "looks better than it is" category. The downtown location is convenient, and the restaurant offers an attractive, intimate space. However, the acoustics and table placement are such that it can get loud when it's near capacity. As Quanto Basta doesn't do reservations, your best bet is to arrive early. The menu here is short but well-rounded. It features salads, antipasti/appetizers, pasta dishes, entrees, and pizzas. Your classics (caprese, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parm, etc.) are accounted for, but you can also opt for the less expected such as parmesan and pork belly crab dip or short ribs with gnocchi, charred carrots, and tomato jam. The wine and drink offerings are similarly versatile. Our group of four went with caprese and focaccia al forno starters and then shared stuffed peppers parmesan, eggplant parmesan, sausage & clams, and baked ziti with meatballs, followed by a tiramisu trifle for dessert. We didn't have long to wait for the food - service here is attentive and efficient - and the caprese was beautifully plated. However, it could have benefitted from salt. Flavors in general were understated even in dishes that were otherwise well-composed and satisfying. The sausage & clams came with a delicious hunk of herby focaccia, which QB would do well to offer as a side. Tiramisu in trifle form (layered inside a mason jar) is a concept whose novelty exceeds its practicality. It tasted great (if you like mocha), but by the time we got to the bottom, everything was soggy. Quanto Basta's menu and décor are winners, but the food itself was a mixed bag. I wouldn't rule out a return here though it wouldn't be at the top of my list.

Very friendly and nice place to have Italian dinner. Our hostess, Samantha was very polite, efficient, and on top of things. We enjoyed the food. We had ordered chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, shrimp risotto, giardino pizza, caprese salad, and dessert. All the dishes were very well prepared and the presentation was excellent.

Great! We came out to celebrate my friend’s birthday and had a splendid time. They have quite the selection of wine and Italian dishes. The atmosphere definitely takes the cake! Our server, Tracy, treated us with utmost love and attention. Definitley recommend for a more upscale dining experience in downtown Winston.

Absolutely phenomenal food and even more amazing owners! We had take out for the first time from here tonight instead of dining in and we can say we will be regular customers after tonight! The food was SPECTACULAR!!! I’d dare say, best Italian food in the area. Thank you so much and we will be back for sure!!! ☺️👍🏻

Wendy from the bar area is on her wine game, ask what she has up her sleeve. Also great service. The food here is about 4 stars and service 5. Everything was great, sauces were done nicely and meatballs were spot on. The price was right and between service and price, we will be bringing the family back for a meal sometime.
