This restaurant is a welcome addition to Bogstadveien, Oslo's version of London's Oxford Street. Pasta Basta perfectly matches its upmarket surroundings; quite a few young, urban people were delighted when this place opened. The place is decorated in a tasteful and simple way. It is bright and modern and reminds you of similar places in Northern Italy. As the name suggests, this is Italian cuisine, mainly consisting of pasta dishes. Nice young waiters elegantly serve the food.
