Alta Strada - Foxwoods, CT

Took my daughter here for dinner we don’t dine out often so I didn’t mind the expensive prices on the dishes, thinking it would be great Italian food. Ordered calamari and meatballs for appetizers. Calamari was great, meatballs were 4 or 5 smaller than a golf ball and pink on the inside. Like they were microwaved out of a gas station freezer. Pork chop was so overcooked I nearly stabbed myself trying to pull it apart. Steak was ordered medium. It was red/rare throughout. And as if the overpriced mediocre food wasn’t bad enough, we ordered tiramisu and my daughter pulled a two inch long strand of of what I can only describe as a gummy adhesive that was in a bite of the tiramisu. The manager came over and said “we make it in house” what?? The adhesive?? Don’t worry, she deducted the tiramisu from the bill though so it’s fine. Hopefully we don’t get sick fingers crossed. Also the server sucked. Had us twiddling our thumbs for 15 minutes at a time for anything. Terrible and the worst $199 I’ve ever spent.

Amazing food. Music felt out of place though.

Would give 6 stars if Google let me! Absolutely delicious Caesar salad, chicken Milanese, and penne a la vodka. Drinks were great and service was top notch. Can’t wait to come back

It’s such a huge hotel, I got lost lol. But service was impeccable. The wait time for the check in was long but the room was immaculate and clean is an understatement. Beds were comfortable and the water was hot the way I like it. I would recommend.

The food was great, though I do not recommend the espresso martini.

The watermelon salad was excellent, the calamari was just ok, but the spicy tomato sauce that was served with it was exceptional. The chicken milanese was a delicious choice as well.

The service was absolutely amazing! They were attentive, friendly, gave great advice on dishes, and the bussers were quick, professional and eager to help. I can't say enough about the great staff!

The restaurant was clean and well laid out and this is a solid choice for a good meal.

Arrived at 7pm, still didn't have our food by 7:55 and we had to leave without eating to make the show on premises. Would not plan to eat here if you have any other plans the same day.

Not the best garlic bread; couldn't even taste garlic. Chicken parm was as good as a local dinner for triple the price. Sauce was bland. The only thing I'd recommend eating their is the mushroom ravioli!

The one time I wanted to eat here, they ignored me and my family. Stood for 20 minutes and left. There were no customers waiting before me. I saw employees talking to each other. They were not busy. Foxwoods wants me to rate this place so this is my opinion.

This was a disappointing meal. To start, the service was poor. Constantly had to ask for drink refills and they left dirty plates on the table throughout the meal. Server was also very curt.

The plates were small and the food mediocre. Fried calamari and piazza was decent. Famous garlic bread was pretty dry and should not be famous. It was a group of 6 and the meals we had ordered were sub par. Eggplant Parmesan had a sponge like texture and the sauce was super dark and chunky. Bolognese was so so. Short ribs over polenta had no actual polenta on the plate. Chicken Milanese was beyond bland.

The desserts were no better. The fried ricotta donut holes were actually raw which the server was shown. When we told the server her response was “I’ll tell the chef to do better next time”. I have eaten at a lot of nicer restaurants and the typical response should have been for them to remove it from the bill which they refused to do. The cannolis were extremely small and the cream tasted nothing like actual cannoli cream. It tasted more like whipped cream and it had chocolate beads on it instead of the standard chocolate chips.

Overall extremely overpriced sup par meal with sub par service. I would not recommend the restaurant.

The garlic bread is listed as world famous , but it lacked something. It was very good don't get me wrong, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. The chicken parm was top-notch, one of the better ones I have ever had. My wife also loved her entrée. Waitress was very attentive

Made dinner reservations, and we were promptly seated when we arrived. Menu is small, but there is something for everyone. The service was excellent.Food portions were not large, but they were delicious. My son said the pizza was some of the best he ever had. Out of all the restaurants in Foxwoods I've been to, this one had the best food.
