Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in South Salem

Total 10/10. Went here with the fiancé for a date night had a few apps, a pizza and a pasta dish. All of it was amazing but the pasta really was special. Perfect texture and the rigatoni held the sauce super well. All house made so you def can’t go wrong. Pizza was also off the charts and as a New Haven pizza regular I can happily recommend this joint to anyone who wants to try great pizza that’s not of the New Haven orientation. If you wana get something more neuvo grab the arancini with the nuja inside. I hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a great take on a classic. So yeah…go here.

Wow! Absolutely amazing food, great service. Small, and had a bjt of a wait because they are so good, but so worth it.

Exceptional food ★★★★★ Fantastic all around We had a great meal and overall experience at Baso 56. The appetizers were the star: flavorful, well presented, and easy to keep ordering. The specials are worth asking about too, creative and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and full of good recommendations.Highly recommend!

great food and great atmosphere - I am a repeat customer!

We celebrated a belated anniversary dinner at Chef Luis with friends who are foodies, and the evening could not have been more delightful. Our friends were genuinely impressed — the dishes, the cocktails, and the entire atmosphere won them over completely, and they said without hesitation that they’ll be returning. Chef Luis himself stopped by our table, adding a personal touch that made us feel especially welcome. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.
