Basta Cosi ! - Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

Family of 4 including 2 teens visited in August 2017. Managed to get a table on Friday night but place was pretty full. Service, food and atmosphere were all good, but some of pizzas were too rich, especially the salmon one. Not the cheapest either, but you got a lot of pizza for your money.,

Hidden away in a traffic island, this is a welcoming restaurant. The food was fresh and well cooked, there was a short selection of dishes, prepared in an open kitchen. Diners could be inside, outside or on a partially shaded veranda. Staff were friendly but not intrusive.

Excellent food, good value, friendly service, varied menue with classic choices, meats, fish and pizza! Do not hesitate. The restaurant is neither fancy or candlelight romantic so you go there for good food at reasonable prices.

Despite some unfounded reviews,We found the restaurant to remember the traditional Italian family "trattoria" ambience. Open kitchen at the entrance, so you can see chefs preparing your food and pizzas.The pizza dough is tasty, well cooked and light on your stomach. Their buffalo mozzarella comes directly from Campania region (Naples) and it is of outstanding quality.Home made fried potatoes wedges were crunchy and well cooked, We ordered an extra portion.Duck breast was a weekly suggestion; very well cooked, tasty, tender and juicy, it was served with its cooking juices and a green leaves salad. Panna Cotta is perfectly prepared, creamy and not gelatinous like most of restaurants, to try with salted caramel sauce on top.We didn't try the tiramisu but I could see it in the fridge while exiting the restaurant and it looked as good as the Panna Cotta.Service was attentive and quick, waiters knew how to describe dishes in the menu.We asked furthermore to avoid some ingredients in dishes ordered and request was satisfactory, well done to all.Surely we would recommend this restaurant that seems to us to be serving the best pizzas of the area.

We visited with the family for lunch. It was excellent. Very efficient service and very good food. Tartar was great and the kids Pizza was suburb. The salads and cheeses also excellent . My son and some friends went for dinner last night and really enjoyed that too.
