Wonderful experience! Service was excellent and food was amazing.

Our waiter was excellent. The food was delicious and I appreciated being able to get a half portion of pasta.

Would have preferred sitting at a table with four chairs instead of two chairs and a bench. We tried several of their featured drinks that were good but we probably wouldn't recommend them. The salads were very good and plentiful. The focaccia bread was excellent with the butter or olive oil. The Pappardelle was very tender and tasty. The Ravioli was abundant and very good. The Orecchilitte was excellent. The waitress was very helpful and attentive to our needs. I would definitely return.

We had read so much about this spot that we decided to try it for Easter brunch. Perhaps that was not the best of decisions, since brunch menus around Pittsburgh tend not to offer the best that its restaurants have to offer. One of the antipasti was excellent, but the rest of the offerings did little to entice someone back to try the regular fare. We also had the impression that the ambience was a bit more upscale than was the case. In fact, our reserved table turned out to be in the bar area, which meant that we had to put up with a television in the background. We were not exactly looking for a "sports bar" atmosphere for a Sunday brunch, so this came as a disappointment. The service, on the other hand, was truly outstanding. It's a shame that the food was far less enticing.

Old Fashioned, brussel sprouts, Cesar salad, pasta a la vodka we're all all terrific. Our server was great also.

An easy 5-star review here for Alta Via in Fox Chapel. We enjoyed two great meals, chicken parmesan and a salmon filet, had excellent service, and were completely satisfied start to finish. It's a cozy little venue immediately off Rte 28, with plenty of free parking. I'd certainly visit again.

The food, service, and ambiance were all amazing as we celebrated my birthday. They even brought out a little gelato with a candle in it so I could make my birthday wish.

We enjoyed a family dinner at Alto Via on a Friday evening, and it would also be an excellent choice for a romantic dinner. The service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional. I highly recommend the Tagliatelle.

We had a wonderful time celebrating birthday dinner at this beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is lovely, with a great vibe that makes for a perfect dining experience.
We started with Brussels Sprouts, which were incredibly tasty. For mains, we ordered the Ravioli- delicious but on the heavier side and the fusilli pasta, which was okay. We ended the meal with tiramisu which was decent but didn't stand out.
What truly elevated the experience, was the outstanding service. Our host was attentive, checked on us frequently and provided great recommendations. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a nice dinner, and we enjoyed our time there.
Would recommend reservation as the place gets busy.
Visited this location for dinner on a Tuesday. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to be seated right away. It did take a while for anyone to approach our table, but our server was quite friendly. We ordered some cocktails and started with the Caesar salad which was fresh and tasty. He also brought out the housemade focaccia. For entrees, I had the salmon, which was well prepared and had an overall nice flavor with the romesco sauce and accompaniments. My friend had a half portion of the fusilli pasta with vodka sauce and the beans & greens. Pasta was good, but the beans & greens were better! It seemed the menu was still very cold weather focused and I would’ve loved to see some spring dishes! We shared an olive oil cake for dessert, which unfortunately was a bit dry for $13 cake. Overall though a decent meal.

We had an excellent brunch experience here. Service was excellent. Our waitress was kind and welcoming. We ordered from the Brunch Prix Fixe menu. The Sangria was delicious. It was fruity, sweet and delicate. My Mom tried the Ricotta Toast and she really enjoyed it. I had the Little Gem Romaine Salad, which was very tasty. The portion was generous. The dressing was very flavorful. For our main course, we both had the Mafaldine with Mushroom Bolognese. This was so good, I forgot to snap a pic of it! 😅 This was just incredibly good. I highly recommend it. The mushroom bolognese is somehow both light while still being rich and bold in flavor. I have intentions of visiting again and when I do, I'll be sure to get that picture to share! I highly recommend Alta Via for brunch, lunch or dinner.

Great ambiance! 2nd visit here. Ordered the butternut squash ravioli, fusilli and Brussel sprouts. The ravioli was good but not a lot of flavor. The foccacia bread was amazing! Many places that serve foccacia don't do a great job. The fusilli was very tasty and the whipped marscapone was the perfect fit. Server was friendly, but I did have a wait a bit for a refill on my drink even though he walked by several times. Decor is great and it's very cozy! Also, love that you can order the small or large portions. Great option!

Uninspired yet competently prepared food. Far too noisy at their price point. They and you can do better.
Service was phenomenal, the food, amazing.
