About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
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.

    The food was very good . The service was not good . The manager was great and took the time to right the situation . The fact that he cared so much will make us return. The noise level was refreshing good and the seats comfortable.

    As usual, the meal was excellent. Service was very slow. However, our waiter brought a complementary dessert as compensation

    We intended to eat inside but there being availability outside we took it and was most pleased. Meal was superb and it arrived steaming hot. Service was as usual “ excellent “. Definitely our “fave” for a great meal in Wellesley.

    Alta Strada is always fantastic (food, service) but the a/c wasn't working, making it very uncomfortable on a very hot and muggy night. I hope it's fixed right away, for both staff and clientele. I love your restaurant. Excellent service; extremely attentive.
    Alta Strada- WellesleyResponded on July 12, 2025
    Hi Janine, Thank you for your kind words about the fantastic food and service. We are sorry the A/C was down when you were here. The good news is the HVAC company was able to source the parts in 24 hours, and we are cool and comfortable now. We will let the team know that you love the restaurant and that you said the service was excellent and extremely attentive. I will DM you with my contact information.

    Unfortunately the AC was not working upstairs. There was a fan blowing into the dining room but the restaurant was exceedingly hot. Disappointing.
    Alta Strada- WellesleyResponded on July 12, 2025
    Thank you for the feedback regarding your recent visit. The lack of working air conditioning upstairs and the heat were disappointing. This is not the comfortable dining environment expected by our guests. The good news is the HVAC company was able to source the parts in 24 hours, and we are chill'n now. Could you please reach out to me directly so I can apologies to you and make this right. I will send my contact info in a different response as the o/t guidelines do not allow it in this view.

    The restaurant is fairly busy most of the hour. The menu is not large but has something for everyone. All the items we have tried over numerous visits have been very good, fully portioned, and always arrive out of the kitchen hot. The staff seems to have little turnover which is always a good sign. There is free parking in the lot behind the building with a patio in the back as well. Addition metered parking is on the street. Metered parking fees are Monday through Saturday 8am to 5 or 6pm.
