Followed the previous owners/chefs of Little Sicily over to Altura to continue to enjoy their amazingly delicious Sicilian food whenever we come into town. It has become one of my favorite traditions! Altura has a relaxed vibe with a beautiful ambience - both indoors and outdoors. The staff is friendly and the service is awesome. We are filled with joy whenever we get the chance to enjoy a tasty meal there - whether it's the meatballs, the homemade pasta, or any dish with my favorite marinara sauce, you can never go wrong! And the prices are reasonable too! Don't sleep in this place - you won't regret it.

My favorite restaurant in Salinas, easily! The atmosphere is inviting yet intimate. Great for a date, family dinners or a visit to the bar. Their lasagna is rich with flavor with every bite and their pizza has a surprising crisp to it. Glad to have come here and I will certainly be coming back!

Kenny makes a great martini. I always get the meatballs, which are very good. My bride gets calzone or something else, but always enjoys it.

Service was good & atmosphere 10/10. Food is decent, not the most flavorful pasta dishes i’ve had but definitely not bad. Mozzarella sticks were amazing! Menu selection is small along with cocktail selection, expanding the menu would be a smart move for this business. Overall, i’d give the experience a 6.5/10.

My wife and I used to frequent the restaurant previously known as Little Sicily, and we always enjoyed the incredible food, generous portions, and cozy atmosphere. However, our recent experience at the new establishment left us disappointed. The charming, homey vibes of Little Sicily seem to have been replaced with a more corporate feel that lacks warmth. Additionally, the service was somewhat lackluster - we ordered a meat calzone but were initially served a pizza instead. When we brought up the mistake, they took the pizza back to the kitchen, but shockingly, they still wanted us to pay for it even though we did not eat it. After speaking with the manager, the mistake was eventually rectified, although the manager did seem a little upset. Unfortunately, the quality of the calzone paled in comparison to what we remembered. It lacked flavor, was smaller in size, and overall, quite bland. We were saddened by the changes and miss the old Little Sicily dearly

The Jazz music was an amazing experience, I felt like I was in Sicily eating pasta and had my wine glass refilled 5 times, and on my bill, it only said 2.

Service was great (friendly bartender and waiter... At least ours was; the waitress at the table next to us had a face like she just caught her boyfriend sleeping with her best friend... That or she hated her job, but our waiter was cool, calm, and helpful. Food was above average with great seasoning and flavor, and the drinks were good, but pricey for the size drink. Looks like a good, quiet place to go on a date (romantic, soft music, space between tables to say sexy things to each other without worrying about the table next to you listening in), but not the best place to hang out with friends unless you don't care everyone staring at you laughing like you were at an Improv Comedy Show but no one else thought the joke was funny. Still, I do recommend this place and would go back on a date.

Very friendly environment and the food and service is excellent. Enjoy the music selection which is soothing and not loud.
Parking: If you get there early enough you can park close and it’s within walking distance. Otherwise good luck but that’s downtown Salinas for you for most businesses. Overall give it a 5 rating.

Great atmosphere and service but the food is not that good. Ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and taste like it came out of a can and my wife ordered the ravioli and was just as bad. All food ordered wasn’t even hot it was luke warm at best. Don’t understand the reviews on this place as that added to the disappointment considering I seen 4.9 star reviews on this place. Want a cocktail and lounge this is your place but not if you want real Italian food.

The ambiance was fantastic and so was our server but the food was horrible! Fettuccine had so much garlic, it was not eatable and the red sauce was way too sweet! It is a nice place for a drink but appetizers and food not very good.
