   Food was excellent- we had 4 different dishes and enjoyed them all, plus the daily bruschetta. Attentive service. We’ll definitely return for dinner again.

   Amazing amazing food, some of the best food I've ever eaten. The best Tiramisu I have ever had. Will be going back regularly for sure.

   Fairly decent Italian. I thought the spicy marina was very good, but everything else was slightly better than average. I would dine here again. No frills.

    Definitely recommend you visit Alta Strada! I'm glad I finally did because the pasta dishes (ravioli & rigatoni), appetizers (garlic bread & broccoli), and dessert (tiramisu) were all delicious and made with noticeable care. The service was particularly impressive with a very thoughtful team and a generous birthday treat. Will be back!

    Service was amazing! Overall experience was great! The only knock I have against the restaurant is the price per glass for red wine - very expensive without a lesser expensive option which I would consider $12-15/glass.

    It was my first time at Alta Strada and I would definitely come back! The food was delicious and our service was great. Everything was seasoned and well portioned for the price. It was a pretty chill environment in dim lighting. Very romantic! I ordered the garlic bread, grilled octopus appetizer, and short rib and polenta. The tiramisu was divine!

    We sat outside on a beautiful day recently, which was great. All staff we interacted with was wonderful, but the food itself was fairly tasteless. I was surprised that the restaurant overall had received such high ratings. We ordered two pasta dishes and a salad. Nothing was memorable, which was too bad. I wouldn't go back.

    Our server, Dario, was excellent. The food was delicious. The wine was good but expensive. I’m sure there’s a reason, but I don’t like the fact that there’s a charge for reservations. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back next time I’m in DC.

    The appetizer(calamari) was good, the pasta wasn’t the best and the vanilla gelato was the worst gelato I’ve ever had in my life it tasted like it had garlic season and like meat, tasted very old as if it been in the freezer for months and I let the manager know but he could care less. Overall the experience was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant and I’ve been there before a couple of months ago and it was not like what I experienced yesterday.

    We came to celebrate my birthday and it was a great time. I ordered the Caico e Pepe. It was good but maybe just a little too peppery for my liking. At the end of the meal, they surprised me with three very delicious cannolis! I would come back!

    This restaurant is a gem in this convention center neighborhood. We appreciate the availability of table at the last minute even amid a big convention. Perhaps it is a best kept secret of the neighborhood. Anyhow, we were very happy with our food and beer. The pasta with mushroom and truffle oil was the most memorable. The signature garlic bread is a must as well. We will bring our family here in the future.

    We had googled top rated restaurants near our hotel on K street and my son loves Italian. Alta Strada was the top rated Italian restaurant and it’s obvious why. The food was amazing! Literally the best Italian food I’ve ever had and I’m a foodie! Service was impeccable! We’d go there again and again if we lived in DC!!

    I really loved this place. The location was great, the serving staff was so nice, and the food was amazing. On top of this, my party ordered something after the bill was delivered and one of the wait staff took it upon himself to pay for it. Truly amazing people and I will be coming back here again.

    It was lovely to return to Alta Strada since before the pandemic. The energy on a cool, wet Friday night was electric. Almost every table was full by 7. While it is no longer on the permanent menu, our server, Roger, was able to get the kitchen to provide a deliciously satisfying cacio e pepe - for us to split - along with the special pizza (white pizza with broccoli rabe and sausage). The host was welcoming and circulated throughout the evening - EXACTLY what a proper host should do! Seemed to be many locals and returning diners - always a good sign. We will be among them going forward.

    All of our food was really tasty and server was friendly and attentive. Only reason for 4 stars is I would have expected a better ambiance for a newer restaurant at this price point. Felt a little bare bones.
