Basta Pasta Opens a New Location in North Quincy

An Italian restaurant in the Cambridgeport section of Cambridge has opened a second location, this one being south of Boston. Basta Pasta Enoteca is now open on Hancock Street in North Quincy, moving into the spot where Tullio's Restaurant used to be. The new restaurant is within walking distance of the North Quincy T stop and, unlike the original, has a good-sized parking lot with free parking.

The menu at the new Basta Pasta includes such Italian fare as arancini, sausage and fennel, a Caprese salad, wood oven-baked pizza, a prosciutto panini, pasta bolognese, gorgonzola and pear risotto, and veal picatta. Some other dishes of note include brick chicken, red wine braised lamb shank, and a grilled salmon fillet.

The address for this new Italian restaurant in North Quincy is: Basta Pasta Enoteca, 150 Hancock Street, Quincy, MA, 02171. The phone number is (617) 479-7979. And the Web site for both locations is at: http://bastapastacambridge.com/
