    Brunch only on Sunday’s, which was very good. Just severely understaffed. They tried as hard as they could. Good spot with very good food. I’d recommend trying it if you are around the Fairmont or Market Square.

    The hostess seated us right where we could view the Christmas tree in the square. The service was very good, and the food was delicious and hot from the oven.

    This was our first time eating at Alta Via. My son and his wife were visiting from out of town for the holidays, and I wanted to treat them to a special meal before we attended the theater. From the moment we arrived, everything was outstanding: seating us at just the right table, explaining the menu and wine list, and helping us pick just the right appetizers and entrées. Our waitress, Sammy, was fantastic. Every part of our meal, from the wine to our appetizers of buratta and olives, our entrées, and the tiramisu we shared, we’re incredibly delicious. We’ll be back … soon!

    Great food! A little loud, but still good. We enjoyed the experience but even our server had a hard time hearing us. Don’t go here for a quiet evening out. :-)

    The food is always phenomenal here. And it is the perfect place to go during the holidays because it’s right next to ice skating at PPG and Market Square.

    Upon arriving the hostess barely raised her head to acknowledge we were there. She was too busy playing on a tablet. Server was okay, did bare minimum, example, we were never asked if we wanted a second drink. Food was very good. Love smaller pasta portions. Should also do this with salads.
