I had a wonderful dinner at Altruda’s last night. Our server, Mia was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure my boyfriend and I had a great experience. I look forward to trying a new dish the next time I’m there.
Not a fast food franchise.
Enjoy authentic Italian food here 👍🏼
