Alta Strada - Washington, DC

The operating hours are wrong. I made a reservation, which OpenTable confirmed, for Sunday at 2pm and it was closed, I had to find another place to go.

VERY QUITE WITH ONLY 3 TABLES OCCUPIED. FOOD WAS GOOD BUT VEGGIES CAME OUT COLD. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. A TAD EXPENSIVE.

Great find ! Inside a boutique hotel , the restaurant has a very nice relaxed atmosphere , along with a lounge with firepit Pizzas and caponata were great , nice porti one too Bartender took great care of all my needs

The restaurant can be accessed from within the Hilton property had a nice ambiance. The food is what you would expect from a good Italian restaurant. The wine list was sufficient. The service, however, left a lot to be desired. The menu had no specials and the waiter ‘forgot' to bring us the “world famous” garlic bread appetizer that we ordered. We finally got it after our main course was served and after multiple reminders. The shrimp pasta dish we ordered didn't have the shrimp and they had to take it back and re-serve it with the shrimp a second time! The waiters were so keen to clear the table that they asked my wife if she was done eating despite seeing her working on the dinner! On the whole the service was terrible and not worth the cost of this dinner. What made it worse was the total lack of empathy from the waiters and the manager. Needless to say, we will not return.

This was a hidden gem. Excellent service and food. Really impressed. Was our first time at this restaurant. Would go back again. Exceptional!

Dinner was great. The food was delicious and the ambience is cool and calming. The service was good. I

me and my fiance came here for a night out while visiting DC. my fiancée ordered cacio e pepe pasta and i ordered cavatelli with pancetta and broccoli. the second one at first sight and taste looked alright , but i’ll tell you later about it . the cacio e pepe (as you can see the picture) was floating in a olive oil and grease bath . guys , the recipe for cacio and pepe is : “pasta , pecorino cheese and pepper” that is it ! we complained about it because my fiancée refused to eat pasta swimming in oil and we didn’t receive any compensation for it , just brought a half piece of cake . coming back to me … i got food poisoned and threw up in the middle of the night . not sure if it was for the grease , oil or what , but i woke up and couldn’t lay down and just the thought of that grease and pasta helped me to get rid of my sins and i finally was able to go back to sleep after puking everything out , painfully . i can delete this review if i receive a refund . but i am telling nothing but the truth .

My family and I had Sunday lunch there using the Restaurant Week menu. It was very delicious and we enjoyed our experience.

Excellent burrata appetizer. Smashburger was over-cooked and lacked flavor (ordered medium rare but cooked well done). Bananas Foster Tiramisu was good.

This is one of our favorite restaurants. There was a weird shift in service and food quality during our last visit. We sat and waited for someone to take our Oder for at least 45 minutes. Our food was served and hour later. We saw diners leave because of the wait times. We hope for improvement as this was one of our favorite restaurants.

Took 1 hour and 45 minutes for basic Restaurant Week lunch. Kept thinking food was "on the way." Avoid this place!

Had a great experience! Food is delicious - the shrimp scampi appetizer is amazing! My husband and I couldn't get enough of it! Garlic bread with dipping sauce, meatballs with whipped ricotta, branzino and pork Marsala were standouts of what we had. Would definitely go back! Service was attentive but not overbearing and the space was open and inviting, wine selection was great! Excellent evening!

Good food... the menu isn't accurate for this location. Don't get your hopes up about chocolate cake because they don't have it here. The dessert menu is attached.
