Basso Social - Bergen

December 1, 2025

Dined at Basso Bergen alone (business trip). Service provided by the waiter, Mate, was outstanding. He spoke fluent English and introduced each course with clear and knowledgeable explanations. I opted for the 13-course Experience Menu paired with the wine selection, and each wine complemented its respective dish very well. The reason for awarding 4 out of 5 stars lies in the details. The main course portion—particularly the heavier pasta—felt slightly too large after so many small courses, and I was unable to finish it. Additionally, there were no complimentary bites at the start or in between from the chef, nor coffee, mints or petits fours at the end of the meal, which would typically be expected at this price point and could have elevated the experience to a full 5 out of 5. The food itself was excellent, but for this level and pricing, a small ‘extra touch’ would make a meaningful difference. Greater attention to detail—such as providing the appropriate cutlery for each course, because now each table had a big bag with all sorts of cutlery on the table, and it wasn’t clear what to use when. Or also offering a proper cloakroom, and not just an open wall mounted coat rack. Or simply refilling a water glass when empty—would all enhance the overall experience considerably. Like said; perfection is in the details. Nonetheless, it is a very pleasant restaurant with a warm atmosphere and an elegant setting. Thank you, Mate, for the wonderful service, your friendly conversations, and for making me feel welcome, especially as a solo diner.

Did the 13 course meal over the weekend. Great ambiance and service. The food was delicious and insanely reasonably priced for that big of a multi course meal. Would absolutely do it time and again.

Amazing evening! Food was perfectly balanced, with good wine pairing. Ira was an amazing waitress 🙌 Good knowledge in wines and spotless serving. Highly recommend for both a business dinner or a more private date. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful experience dining here. We tried the Sunday tasting menu: creative dishes, lots of courses and great value for the price. The restaurant has a really cozy and polished atmosphere. Our waitress was super friendly and did a great job explaining the concept and the dishes. We were surprised by the number of dishes and the generous portions. For that price, it seemed too good to be true but they truly exceeded our expectations! We loved the mushroom ravioli with truffle foam and the tuna tartare with fried pasta acting as crostini, genius. Each dish had a lovely freshness to it and every course was simply delicious. We will definitely be back!
