Alta Strada - Foxwoods, CT

We came here for a valentine’s night dinner. I ordered the bolognese pasta and my husband had the shrimp scampi. Both pasta dishes were horrible. My husband and I have eaten at a lot of Italian restaurants and this one definitely missed the mark. Both dishes had no flavor, watery. We both tried to swallow the food but we just couldn’t do it. Our server on the other hand was very understanding and kind. I honestly would never come here again and I would not recommend this place to anyone. For the price they charge don’t waste your money you’re better off going elsewhere.

Went to the restaurant and order chicken that came with greens on the side. It was heavy on the chicken portion. The chicken was so dry, I had no lie two bites. And all the greens, which were okay but if the chicken was edible I would have ate that. The bartender asked me about boxing my chicken and I said no, it wasn’t good. (I can’t remember if she checked in before that). She had the shift supervisor. They simply took a little more than half off because I ate the lettuce. $15 for a handful of lettuce and I will still hungry. So I had to go get dinner after.

Consistently Great. This is now our go to restaurant for Italian. Atmosphere and staff are always good but the food is amazing. Take the time to book a reservation. When it busy... it's busy!

The prices are very high but the quality and taste of food are awful. The marinara sauce was so acidic. The bread (that you have to pay for) was cold and hard. The waitress was not interested in hearing complaints.

I ordered the scallops with truffle risotto. There was no evidence of truffles or truffle oil. The scallops were small and overcooked. My wife had a rib steak that was very good quality and cooked perfectly. Good dessert. Server was good. Overpriced.

I’d give less if possible and I’m not even basing this on food 6:15 reservation, sat right away. It’s 6:47 and haven’t even received our drinks. I’ll let you know when they finally arrive lol

The waitress & front of house are great. We had a party of 6, spent over 2-1/2 there mostly waiting on the food. On a dead Wednesday, they ran out of the Veal, (most expensive menus item!) the Pork Chops were great. Everything else was awful. Pasta was made right as the order hit the kitchen, and by the time all the food came out, the pasta dish had a burnt crust from being in a plate warmer for so long. My wife’s bolognese tasted like the guys salmon next to us for some reason.

Honestly we spent almost 750 dollars and got absolute terrible quality. We were expecting better for being less busy, but not a chance.

Don’t order the calamari, it hit my stomach like a rock. In fact If you cook at home, chances are that you make a better meal.

Will not return.

Go to Olive Garden.
Portions were tiny. Service was slow. Good quality was just alright. They brought us the wrong appetizer and forgot my drink. The place wasn’t even that busy.

Overall, it’s just ok, but for the money, there are better options.

The waitress told me 3 times she would bring me another soda before receiving half through the meal . Ask for another soda after that . It took her two more times before receiving my beverage. When ordering she asked if we wanted garlic bread with sauce. Never mentioned this was not included in the meal . Charge either 12 - 14 dollars. You would think for a 39.00 and 36.00 meal bread would be included. The food was average but definitely not great . It took the waitress Elyssa K . several minutes as well to greet us and asked if we wanted something to drink .I left a 18.00 tip on a 122.00 check which was to much for the service. 25 %- 30 % if the service was appropriate. The waitress was not overwhelmed as you have runners bringing out the food and clearing tables. Very disappointing night out .
