Bastoni Pizzeria
/
Bastoni Pizzeria are the maestros of the Alpine Valley pizza scene. If you are looking for quality pizzas of the gourmet kind, this pizzeria should be at the top of your list.
The restaurant possesses a polished industrial feel which retains a warm and familial character. With indoor and outdoor seating and a full menu that offers pizza, salads, antipasti and dessert, Bastoni has something for everyone.
The menu is grounded in strong Italian heritage and is locally owned and operated by the Borsi family with a focus on expertly crafted pizzas by pizzaiolos Jim and Sergio.
We loved tasting our way through the expansive menu. To start we enjoyed the antipasto board to share with a beautiful selection of cold meats, Italian cheeses and marinated vegetables served with fluffy rosemary and sea salt focaccia.
For mains the pizzas were stunning. The appeal of Bastoni Pizzeria’s pizzas lies in its beautiful crusts and the use of quality produce. As tomato and cheese are staple ingredients in almost every pizza on the menu, it is crucial that they get it right. And fortunately, they do. There is a pleasant freshness underlying the tomato base and the fior di latte, a type of Mozzarella that is made from cow’s milk, is milky in flavour and pleasingly delicate in texture.
The Prosciutto was a crowd pleaser, containing San Marzano tomato, prosciutto di parma, fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil.
The Gorgonzola was similarly delicious boasting an umami-laden explosion from the layers of mozzarella, roasted potato, caramelised onion and gorgonzola finished with balsamic glaze.
Whatever you do, do not leave without trying the vanilla bean pannacotta served with berry coulis. Bastoni Pizzeria’s rendition of the classic pannacotta was texturally perfect. Silky smooth, it simply melted in our mouths. Just yum!
