About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
Whether nibbling on small plates at the antipasti-wine bar, sipping an espresso, or having a meal in the open dining room, Alta Strada will always be approachable and accessible to anyone and everyone. With a true smile and the genuine desire to take care of you while you’re “in our house”, Alta Strada will focus on the foods of Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, and the Amalfi coast, while attempting to fill the much needed gap in Italian restaurants in America. Simply put, Alta Strada will be the place where you’ll find a perfectly made bowl of pasta, crispy thin pizza, gorgeous and abundant antipasti, and fantastic wines, all at a reasonable price, in a setting that could be found on a stylish via in Milan or Rome.

    Always consistently great food and service. It is a pleasure dining there. The waitstaff always inquires how is your meal….? That indicates how management cares and wants to please.

    The staff members were all exceptional. They responded quickly to every request we had for high chairs and accommodations for our two young children. They were kind and attentive. The food was delicious—everything we ordered from appetizers to drinks to our entrees was perfect. The ambiance is comfortable but elegant, and the noise level was lower than expected — we could hear each other and it didn’t create any anxiety or over-stimulate the kids. This is a favorite restaurant, we highly recommend, and we will be back.

    From the moment we walked into Alta Strada, we were met with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The service throughout our meal was exceptional—attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely friendly. We started with the world-famous garlic bread, and it absolutely lived up to the hype: perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and bursting with rich garlic-butter flavor. For our mains, the Chicken Milanese was tender and well-seasoned, and the Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We paired our meal with a refreshing sangria that struck just the right balance of fruit and wine. To finish, we shared a Tiramisu that was light, creamy, and wonderfully indulgent, along with a smooth, well-crafted latte. Alta Strada delivered a flawless evening of delicious food and top-notch service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an elevated yet comfortable Italian dining experience.

    Had an amazing birthday dinner last night. Not only was the food delicious, the ambiance delightful, but the service was incredible, they even brought me a birthday card signed by all the staff! Such a nice touch. Would highly recommend.
