Ginger ice cream
I went to my favorite new restaurant on Friday night Basso Cafe in Norwalk – and there had the most gorgeous ginger gelato.....more
I just wanted to pass along my compliments after last night's dinner.
This was about the fourth time my wife, Sue, and I have dined with you. Each and every time it is a special treat.
It begins with the warmth of the welcome and the service. The real highlights are your food preparations
Again, thank you and your staff for another wonderful experience. I hope you have a very, very long stay it's a pleasure to get NYC quality food only a few minutes from home."

"Dear Renato,Thank you again for a perfectly lovely dining experience at your cosy, elegant restaurant tonight on Valentines. When we saw the menu on line we were just drooling, Couldn't wait to come and have this fabulous feast at Basso on Valentines. Happy to say the ambience was inviting and warm. It seemed so jolly and happy. I think everyone who was there had a good time. we saw some old friends (the Ambroses) and there were many tables full.
The place was just bubbling. The waiter was so nicely attentive, kept our water glasses full and took away all the silver wear after the courses. The food was absolutely perfect.
The carpaccio was really heavenly. Everything was imaginative and creative and just full of good vibrations. Bravo Basso, keep up the good work; 'til the next happy meal with you,"
This is the most sensual restaurant in Fairfield County! The casual chic décor is crisp and cool. The food is haute. Owner/Chef Renato is part Venezuelan, part Italian, and part magician. The finest seasonal ingredients are brilliantly prepared
to excite and delight enthusiastic patrons. Appetizers include lobster risotto, giant crisp artichoke hearts, and mussels in a dream sauce that will have you dipping your bread. Enticing entrees leave just enough room for seductive deserts.
I hosted a dinner party at Basso Cafe last fall, and all 11 guests were thrilled! The food was cleverly described and presented, and the flavor combinations were amazing! Favorites: artichokes, empanadas, and sea bass, for dinner. Chef/owner, Renato Donzelli, suggested excellent wines to pair with anything (BYOB), and the service was outstanding: appropriately attentive and extremely knowledgeable. Basso Cafe = art, passion and excellence.

Basso Cafe is one of those places that you go to and it just feels right. It could be because of the Spanish guitar, jazz and world music that is floating melodically from the overhead speakers. Or it could be that your olfactory senses take in the appetizing aromas wafting in from the kitchen. Perhaps it’s the cordial greeting you receive when you first walk in the door.
Whatever the reason, once you’re there..... Read......
