BASTAS TRATTORIA

Per website, Permanently Closed

“Bastas opened its doors in 1992 and has always taken advantage of our Northwest bounty . We use local organic produce, meats, forest ingredients as well as fish. All of our fresh pastas as well as sausages, pancetta, breads, desserts and infusions are made in house. We believe in supporting our local artisans, and even though our chairs are original (recycled) post modern, they were refurbished locally and the couches and tables were made only a few blocks away. The wood on the walls and tables was salvaged from local barn lumber, and even the point of sale system was designed and is maintained locally. We are at fault in only one way... our award winning wine list is Italian, like the owner. Used to be a Tastee Freeze. On same website a comment: Dined on December 24, 2016 Have loved Basta's for 25 years and SO hate to see it close in just days.”
