Basso on the Plaza has officially arrived, bringing Italian elegance with modern flair to Westport Plaza. The latest concept from Lodging Hospitality Management, and a sister to the acclaimed Basso at The Cheshire, opened May 27 with bold flavors and sophisticated charm. This new spot was imagined as both a reflection and a celebration of the energy coursing through Westport Plaza.
“The original Basso at The Cheshire is literally in a basement space, so it is richly dark, moody and inherently romantic,” explained Blaise Pastoret of Lodging Hospitality Management. “At the new Basso on the Plaza, floor to ceiling windows let in natural light, and a large patio for dining overlooks the green event space.”
Diners can anticipate a menu full of familiar favorites with elevated touches: Hand-crafted signature pizzas (including a pepperoni with hot honey that’s already a guest favorite), house-made pastas and an expanded selection of wood-fired steaks and seafood, made possible by larger ovens and grills.
The menu’s playful side shines in its small plates and cocktails, while the Italian wine list offers both trusted favorites and delightful surprises. From date nights to group dinners, the space accommodates everything from intimate tables to private events for up to 48 guests. For Basso on the Plaza, opening in St. Louis means more than just launching a new space, it’s becoming part of a city that truly appreciates great food.
“It’s very exciting to bring a new restaurant to the people of St. Louis,” shared Pastoret. “We are lucky to have such a wonderful and well-versed food-loving community.”
Evenings at Basso on the Plaza begin Tuesday through Saturday at 4 p.m. with happy hour specials until 6 p.m. and dinner service running as late as 11 p.m. on weekends.
And lunch lovers, stay close as they are developing an exceptional lunch menu to start this month.
