    Alta provided great service for our birthday celebration for my wife. The food was great though they no longer provide my personal favorite, chicken Marsala . Though pricey, it is a great venue with quality food and service.

    Quiet and comfortable experience where we could have a meaningful conversation with our friends — one of the reasons we go out! The service was attentive yet unobtrusive. The calamari was crisp and warm. The salads generous and fresh. Sauce on the very tender veal Milanese too much. Chicken was also tender and the sauce with artichokes a little heavy in consistency. Wine prices are getting too high. Still a “go to” place for a special night out. Might benefit from a “Seniors Menu” to draw in more people.

    Such an amazing place for Italian food. Also has some hints of Greek flavors. A large menu of items to choose from, makes it difficult to decide on just one item.

    It was a nice environment. We were on the early end of the dinner rush and got a bit forgotten towards the end of the meal. The food was in some ways excellent and in other ways too much. Too spicy, too salty, too lemony depending on each persons dish. The artichoke appetizer was perfection.

    Dined here on NY Day for my daughter’s birthday and we all enjoyed our dinner’s. I thought the lasagna was amazing and arguably the best I had ever eaten. I don’t remember our servers name but he was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the menu. While we were there there was a pianist and I thought the music selection was very good. We finished with several house made desserts that were really great. Thank you for a wonderful evening and we plan to come back again.
