About Pasta & Basta

Set on Ventimiglia's seafront promenade beside the Cala del Forte marina, Pasta & Basta has served handmade pasta paired with dozens of sauces since 1991, run by Andrea Perotti since 1997. Portions are famously generous, often topping 200 grams per dish, and the terrace tables look straight out over the water, drawing a steady stream of day-trippers crossing over from the Côte d'Azur.
