Altesi is an elegant Italian restaurant located off Madison Ave with impeccable service and excellent food. The staff is attentive to every detail, making the dining experience truly memorable. The pappardelle with mushrooms and artichoke salad are highly recommended. The restaurant offers a wide selection of fine wines, perfect for lunch or dinner. While the interior lacks character, the outside is beautiful and the location is quiet. The Pinot Noir is smooth, and the lamb chops are a good serving size, although not the best quality. The menu features a variety of pastas and meats, with delicious-looking desserts. Customers have praised the superb food, comparing it favorably to European standards, and highlighted the professional, attentive, and friendly service. The appetizers, such as beef carpaccio and veal tonnato, are excellent and generously portioned. The pastas, including squid ink tagliatelle with calamari and orrechiette with sausage and broccoli rabe, are perfectly executed. Although some desserts, like the pistachio tartuffo, are pricey, they are very good. Overall, Altesi provides a refined Upper East Side Italian dining experience with elegant ambiance and great service, ensuring a desire to return.
