Baseline Bistro Cafe - St. Petersburg

We ordered takeout from this restaurant last night, and it was fantastic. They did an excellent job accommodating our party of seven, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was outstanding! Being family-run, it’s clear that they put a lot of love into both their food and service. Even their cookies were incredible!

Where do I even begin? This is hands down the best burger I've ever had! It never disappoints! The pizza is phenomenal—just like in Italy, with a thin crust and fresh toppings. Baseline offers a great variety of dishes, all bursting with flavor!

I have been dining at this restaurant for quite some time now, and I can't say enough good things about it. The food is incredible, and the staff are so welcoming that they truly make you feel like part of the family. While the lunch menu is somewhat limited, the dinner options are unmatched in quality. As many others have noted, they serve the best pizza in town, made with flour imported from Italy for an authentic taste and texture. This same flour is also used for their delicious breads and rolls, which perfectly complement their burgers—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them the best in the area. The salads are always fresh, and the bar offers an excellent selection of spirits and wines. One of my personal favorites is the sliders; they’re served as an appetizer but are substantial enough to be a meal. Additionally, their weekend brunch is outstanding, featuring amazing French toast, homemade crepes, a fantastic quality coffee selection, and of course, delicious mimosas.

'Enter as Strangers, leave as Friends ', this is the sign that hangs over the door at the Baseline Bistro. My husband and I discovered this hidden gem by word of mouth almost a year ago while remodeling our kitchen. Baseline is family owned and operated serving the BEST pizza and burgers in Saint Pete (I may be partial but I dare you to see for yourself! . Tucked back inside the Racquet Club, the bistro gives off the ambiance of quaint and hidden yet packed with pride serving homemade quality food. The dough is made daily with flour that is imported, baked to order and served fresh and piping hot! Seating is vast both indoors and outdoors and they serve a full bar with great house wines! No matter what you do, save room for the homemade Tiramisu or Italian wedding cookies and by all means get the cappuccino! Overall, we visit weekly....sometimes twice and we we love it here! Not only have we introduced many of our friends (who we now run into when we visit but we have made many new ones too! Their concept of 'Enter as Strangers, leave as Friends ' has created a home away from home where friends can be family and share a great meal! Check them out it is worth it!

Came in for brunch on Sunday. A pleasant surprise and hidden gem! Have lived in St. Pete for 6 years and had no idea that this place existed and we eat out quite a bit. The service was great, the food was delicious (we had crepes) and our iced coffee was ok. Lots of outdoor seating so would like to dine outside when it cools off a bit. Wanted to rate it 4.5 but could only do 4 or 5. Will be back to try some more items from the menu!!
