About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood 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.

    I've been to Alta Strada multiple times and it's absolutely spectacular every time. Guy and his staff are tremendous. The food and service is exceptional and the atmosphere also fantastic. A great place for a date night or family dinner. I highly recommend it and will be returning soon.

    Excellent service. Restaurant was full and bustling. Starters were delicious. We had garlic bread, Cesar salad, arugula salad and cauliflower. Drinks were fine though my basil lime gimlet cocktail was sweeter than expected. Main courses were disappointing. Lamb chops requested as medium rare were overcooked, 4 chops so we should have shared 1 portion. Eggplant was overcooked and dry though the sauce was good, way too much garlic in the broccoli. Chicken dish was similarly dry though sauce was good. Nevertheless, it was a fun evening out though next time I'll stick with fish which was excellent in the past.

    The service was lovely! We had so much fun in the restaurant, the food was really really good however something must have happened because after dinner both me and my husband started feeling very sick. I couldn’t keep anything down. I know this can sometimes happen when you have dinner out on very busy days/holidays but it was still a bummer because it was valentines.
