    We had the prefix brunch and loved it. The appetizer could have been the entree, and all of the food was flavorful and prepared perfectly. Cocktails were also very good. Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

    Great service! Nice drink menu and the food was very tasty. Service was quick and we were able to get to the theater in plenty of time. My favorite part about this place is that they have half portions. I can never eat all my pasta so it's perfect to have a half portion.

    Crab pasta was outstanding. Sauce was buttery with just the right amount of garlic.

    Service was incredibly slow. It took 45 minutes for our entrees to arrive. And the regular-size pasta portions are seriously small, they wouldn’t even be considered large enough for child portions anywhere else.

    Very enjoyable evening at Alta Via. Service was great. Everything we (4 of us) ordered was very good. Atmosphere was lively on a Sunday evening. We will be back.

    Alta Via was quite accommodating in seating us where we would talk with bright lighting and minimal noise. Although the "music" is piped in and cannot be regulated, it wasn't too distracting. The pacing, plating and food choices were great. Service was most professional and friendly. Appreciated having my leftovers boxed and labeled with the contents! This is a good place for a prix-fix brunch and we enjoyed the experience.

    Fantastic food and service, we loved it. We went early before a symphony concert and had plenty of time. The server asked us if we had any time constraints such as for a show, which we appreciated. Highly recommend!
