Frutti di Mare in Vienna — Seafood Specialties According to Southern Italian Tradition

Vienna may not be by the sea, but Southern Italian cuisine still lives in Gentzgasse. At Pasta e Basta, we combine seafood with handmade pasta — a piece of the Mediterranean coast in the 18th district. Our kitchen has Neapolitan roots, and you can taste that especially in our Frutti di Mare dishes: bold flavors and classic recipes.

Linguine alle Vongole — The Classic

There are few dishes in Italian cuisine that are as perfect in their simplicity as Linguine alle Vongole. Clams, garlic, parsley, a splash of white wine — that's all. Our linguine are freshly made daily and perfectly absorb the flavor of the clams.

Variety From the Sea

From crispy fried calamari and our homemade Spaghetti Frutti di Mare to Risotto ai Frutti di Mare, we offer a wide selection for lovers of Mediterranean cuisine. Our spicy 'Zuppa di Pesce alla Siciliana' is also a highlight for fish lovers.
