Antipasti in Vienna — Italian Starters for Sharing and Enjoyment

In Southern Italy, no meal begins without antipasti. It's more than just a starter course — it's the moment when the mood of the evening is set: small bowls of marinated olives, paper-thin slices of prosciutto, grilled vegetables. At Pasta e Basta in Vienna Währing, we bring this tradition to every table. Our antipasti are perfect for sharing, as a light start before the pasta or — if you combine several — as a full meal.

Burrata e Pomodorini — Simple and Perfect

Fresh burrata is a special experience. We serve this creamy specialty with sweet cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil. A dish that lives from the quality of its ingredients.

Antipasti Misti — Sicily on a Plate

Although our kitchen is Neapolitan-influenced, we offer a selection of Sicilian specialties with our 'Antipasti Misti Siciliani': grilled vegetables, olives, Prosciutto di Parma, and cheese, finished with fine olive oil and herbs.

Classics & Soups

From the classic Bruschetta al Pomodoro to Carpaccio di Manzo with lemon oil, we offer a wide range of starters. This is complemented by homemade soups such as our creamy tomato soup or the classic Minestrone.
