● When are you open?
We are open Tuesday-Saturday, with reservations open from 5-9:30pm. Happy hour is offered on Fridays and Saturdays between 3-5pm. Reservations are not needed for happy hour, although space is limited. The full dinner menu is available starting at 4pm.

● Are reservations required?
Reservations are strongly encouraged, as tables book up quickly, and we do not have tables set aside for walk-ins. Walk-ins will always be welcomed as space allows.

● When do reservations open?
Online reservations open up one month in advance. If you would like to secure a reservation for a larger party or specific occasion, we encourage you to call us at 614-294-7383 as soon as you know you need the reservation.

● Do you take reservations for larger parties?
For parties larger than 4 people, we ask that you call or email us to request that reservation. Due to the small space, the max reservation size is 12 people.

For parties of 6+ people: Your party will be presented with a single check at the conclusion of the meal that can be split evenly across three different methods of payment. We are unable to provide individual checks for larger parties.

For parties of 8+ people: In addition to the single check policy, we will also take credit card information to secure your reservation. If the reservation is cancelled within 48 hours of the reservation time, the credit card on file will be charged $20/person. If the party shows up for the reservation, or if they cancelled before the 48 hour period, then no charge will be placed on the credit card.

*If you need to cancel your reservation for a party of 8+ people, you must cancel via email at andrew@basi-italia.com*

● Are children allowed? Do you have a kids’ menu?
We absolutely love the little ones, and they will always be welcomed to share the dining experience with you. While we do not have a specific kids’ menu, our chef is happy to create some kid friendly dishes for them.

● Should my infant or toddler be included in the party size?
Yes! Even if they do not utilize a chair, they still require space at the table. Due to the small size of the restaurant, that space will likely be unavailable unless we know to accommodate it.

● What does it mean to be on the wait list?
If you go to make a reservation for a specific day, and your requested time is not available, the website will direct you to add yourself to the wait list for that day and time. Once you are on the wait list, you will wait for the host to contact you and let you know if a table has become available. Being on the wait list does not guarantee a table will become available, and unless you are contacted by our host, it should be assumed that a table is not available for your party.

● Can I request patio seating?
Unfortunately, you cannot request patio seating. Once you have a reservation, seating occurs on a first come, first serve basis. If you do request patio seating, we will be mindful of it, although it ultimately will not guarantee your final seating location.

● Where do I park?
The most convenient option would be to utilize our valet service found in front of the restaurant on Highland Street. The valet cost is $10. There is also street parking on adjacent residential streets that you can pay for using the Park Mobile app.

● Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
– Gluten-free: We have many dishes that are gluten free or can be made gluten free. We also offer gluten free pasta.
– Dairy Free: Several dishes are either dairy free or can be made dairy free with simple substitutions.
– Vegan: We currently do not offer any vegan dishes; however, our chef is able to create a vegan pasta dish upon request.
*Please inform your server of any allergies or dietary restrictions you may have in your party

● Can I bring in an outside bottle of wine?
In accordance with Ohio Liquor Laws and the terms of Ohio Liquor Licenses, we cannot allow outside bottles of wine to be opened in the restaurant.

● Can I bring my own cake/desserts?
Absolutely! If refrigeration is needed, we will happily store it for you until you are ready for dessert.

● Am I allowed to bring my pet onto the patio?
Due to the small, intimate space, we do not allow animals in the restaurant or patio area.

● Do you offer takeout?
We do! You can either call us or order through our website for pickup. For delivery, you can order via Grubhub.

● Do you offer private parties/events?
Please email our general manager, Andrew Wilson, at andrew@basi-italia.com for all private party inquiries
