Reviews for Alta Strada in 465 K St NW, WA
Every bite from appetizer to dessert was scrumptious. Ordered off the Restaurant Week menu and it did not disappoint. ... Prosciutto di Parma for appetizer,, lamb chops for entre and chocolate cake for dessert. Also, their cocktails are pretty good. Read more
My friends and I went here during restaurant week and had a great time. We loved that there were some many good options on the... restauweek menu! The food was good, yet the vibe and the service stood out the most to me. The Manager, Ben, and another fellowtook care of us after we had to be moved inside due to rain. Ben even offered us free drinks after realizing that they were outof lamb [which we had all ordered]. But even without lamb, everything we ordered was delish! Not to mention our waiter, Israel,was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We definitely plan to return and get order the lamb!???????? Read more
So I went here this week for restaurant week and I can say it’s some of the best pasta I have had in the city! I was so... thrilled to go here and even more satisfied with the experience! I started off with some kind of alcoholic punch or something-the waiter recommended it and it was delicious! Followed by the RW grilled broccolini. The broccolini was very well seasoned andhad an amazing taste! I crushed it fairly quickly. My friends got the burrata and the calamari which they also enjoyed. Nextcourse I got the ricotta agnolotti. Can you say amazing?! Like the taste was sooo spectacular! I actually just reheated the restand it was still amazing. There’s so much flavor in the dish and I was just so happy with every bite! My friends got the pizza and the chicken parm which they also loved. But I can go on and on about my entrée because it was just so good! Lastly Igot the tiramisu which was also on point. My friends got the bombolini and the vanilla bean cheesecake which also was a hit. Wehave zero complaints about the food! The servers were extremely nice, great with suggestions and were making sure our expediteswas a great one so we are thankful for that. The host was super nice as well. We say outside because it was an amazing night andthe seating is on the sidewalk but it’s well set up. However because it’s DC please beware of vermin :(. We saw a rat comefrom the grassy areas not far from the tables and run under a few tables- and you know DC rats are fearless. A few of us criedout but that was the only one I saw within the 90 mins or so of us sitting outside. Limited parking because it’s streetparking. Most streets in this area it’s pay to park until 630p but there’s also a lot nearby. The inside is cute as well. Ilove bathrooms with a good mirror and bright lighting and this one was kinda small- but that’s not like an actual issue lol.Just my preference lol. Overall I’m extremely satisfied with my visit here and would love come again ! Read more
Absolutely exquisite Italian cuisine. The cacio e pepe should be considered comfort food, warm and almost smoky but so smooth on... the palate. Simply divine atmosphere, the staff is so warm and charming, and the dessert is sinful (we had the cherry sorbet andthe tiramisu, which can only be described as decadent). If you find yourself in the mood for Italian while in DC, do yourself afavor and visit Alta Strada. In fact, come to DC just for Alta Strada. 10 stars all around. Read more
This restaurant was the perfect place! The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming! For the food, the pasta is as good as the pasta... from Italy and the attic char was incredible! The waiter and staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable and you shoulddefinitely listen to their recommendations! Read more
Visited the DC area for my boyfriend’s birthday and in our culture, he had to eat pasta. He had the chicken parmesan with... spaghetti. I ordered the shrimp alfredo and my daughter ordered the ricotta cheese dish. We ordered the smoked salmon toast asan appetizer. I wasn’t that impressed by the food. I was glad to be out celebrating for my boyfriend’s birthday but the foodwas mediocre. We spent almost $200 for the three of us. The service was pretty alright. The server was personable and they evengave my bf a tiramisu cake for his birthday with a candle on top. The tiramisu was a hit! It was delicious. The rest of thethings we ordered wasn’t anything worth returning back to. I do expect to eat decent food with the amount of money that Ipaid. Read more
Came for my birthday dinner with my husband during restaurant week. Our server (I think Patricia) was really sweet. All of the... food was really good except the clam pasta wasnt the best. Could have had more sauce and clams were a bit overdone. Otherwiseeverything else was delicious though! Read more
My friend and I were celebrating her acceptance into medical school and this was the perfect restaurant to do it. The food was... wonderful and we enjoyed every bite. The portions were great too. The drinks were also wonderful and paired well with our meals.On top of all that, it was the staff that took the evening from wonderful to spectacular and memorable. The general manager, Benand our server, Israel were friendly, helpful, and kind. Every recommendation that Israel gave us elevated the experience. Icould not recommend this establishment more.
