Basta is on the fourth floor of Åhléns City, at Klarabergsgatan 50 in Stockholm. Visit Stockholm says the restaurant’s setting is inspired by Capri sunsets. On warmer days, diners can use the rooftop terrace. The restaurant stays open after the department store has closed.

Visit Stockholm describes the menu as Italian classics with a twist. Basta calls itself an Italian trattoria and says its menu combines modern cooking techniques with antipasti, handmade pasta, Neapolitan pizza and dolci, or desserts. The restaurant says its dishes are intended to be shared, with drinks alongside, and that it selects ingredients with care.

Basta presents its interiors as inspired by Italian romance and says the restaurant is intended for conversation, family meals and celebrations. It describes its staff as a family and says it values diversity and working together. Visitors can dine inside or, on warmer days, on the rooftop terrace. The restaurant remains open after Åhléns City closes.
