   This was our second time at Alta Via and it was a disappointment. The highlight was the fig toast, but otherwise we were let down. Both our drinks and main course took exceptionally long to receive. We waited close to an hour for our pasta dishes to arrive. Upon arrival, the pasta was bizarre. Some pieces were cooked perfectly, while others were a gummy mess. We’d waited so long that we didn’t want to have to wait for more. On top of that, we asked to box up one of our leftovers that was cooked well and they got thrown away. The staff were at least nice enough to make a fresh batch, but it meant more waiting.

   Food is bomb. I wish Italian food was healthier, I'd eat there once a week.

   Every year when I receive my big burrito birthday coupon, I use it at Alta Via because I think it's the best value. Brian was our server and he was outstanding! He was so friendly and did an amazing job! The food was delicious too! I will definitely be back again soon.

   Everything was truly great. The service is warm and inviting, the food is always wonderful. It makes you wonder how BBG can do so many food concepts successfully, and rarely close a restaurant (though I’m still sore about OG Mad Mex shuttering).

   I don’t mind waiting for food, especially if the quality justifies the time. Unfortunately, this wasn’t one of those occasions. The experience started off poorly when we asked the waiter for any recommendations, and he unhelpfully responded, “Everything’s good.” From there, the service only got worse. After a long wait, our entrees were dropped off hastily by the waiter, who didn’t even hear me asking for silverware before he vanished. When he eventually returned with it, that was the last we saw of him until it was time to discuss dessert. The food itself was hit or miss. My boyfriend found his dish so unappetizing that I ended up giving him my fosili, which was the only saving grace of the meal — well-prepared and flavorful. When I mentioned to the waiter (who returned smelling like cigarettes) that we didn’t enjoy one of the dishes at all, his only response was to ask if we wanted a box for it. Between the lack of helpful guidance, inconsistent food, and inattentive service, this experience was incredibly disappointing. Perhaps they were having an off night, but the lack of care and professionalism made it hard to overlook the flaws.

   Would give 5 for overall but had to get up and ask for a waiter. No one came to table to serve us after 20 min. We had a wonderful server, Dustin, and the restaurant did comp one of side dishes and agreed to split salad order due to inconvenience. We appreciate that the restaurant did this without asking. The food was outstanding.

    The food was outstanding, and the service was phenomenal. We will absolutely be back. So glad to have found a new delicious brunch place.
