About this location
About Basso
{ Basso } (meaning "low" or "beneath" in Italian) is a sleek basement gastro pub with an Italian accent and a playful attitude. Descend the winding staircase and discover a restaurant abuzz with activity. From the open kitchen with its glowing wood-burning oven to the giant polished zinc-topped island bar, there is much to be seen, smelled, heard, and of course, tasted at Basso.
The space itself is a feast for the eyes. Located beneath the new BOUNDARY restaurant at The Cheshire, Basso is no basement after-thought. The 5,000-square foot, 150-seat space features a blend of comfort and rusticity. Intimate leather booths encircle the perimeter and the center bar features a custom-made metal headpiece suspended from panels of reclaimed Missouri barn wood. The 40-seat bar is apropos for a venue that serves up 32 beers on tap. But wine and cocktail lovers will not be undeserved. An Italian-centric wine list boasts a variety of unique pours, and a cocktail list sure to please those who appreciate a unique beverage.
Closer to the open kitchen, two wood-topped communal tables offer a great spot to gather with a bunch of friends; or pull up a stool with new friends and take in the culinary action. An original stone fireplace offers a cozy place to relax with a drink. There’s even a semi-private lounge with red velvet couches and funky lighting, perfect for a more intimate gathering.
