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.

Food and service was top notch! If I can add 1 ‘thought’: if you’d remove just 1 block of tables along the booth wall I think it would make a world of difference. The server kept bumping against our table while she scooted in to serve our neighboring tables. Just a little more space would create a more intimate setting. My husband and I prefer ‘date night’ seating and I feel there’s only possibly 2/3 tables that would meet that desire. Finally- I DO want to thank the mgr for allowing us to stay at a 4 person table(as we were only 2). The alternative would really have had an impact on my review. PS. Just omit 1 table😁

Truthfully, I REALLY miss the old menu! There were more interesting choices & I especially miss the appetizer (tapas style) options. It was a much more fun menu - the current one is more limited & ordinary, even though the meals were prepared well.
