We were celebrating a long overdue friends get together. We split a number of appetizers including our favorite: the Brussels Sprouts. The beans and greens are super creamy and the pesto on them is a great touch. Everything we ate was superb but the star of the evening was definitely the roast chicken. It is so moist and tender, and served on the most wonderful smashed/roasted/Parmesan potatoes. The accompanying piccata sauce is a perfect accompaniment. Service was excellent, the drinks were tasty and our experience overall was outstanding.

The focaccia was served with butter and olive oil and salt. Husband had the pappardelle and I had the squid ink fettuccine with rock shrimp, spinach and tomatoes. The 1/2 order of pappardelle was plentiful. I I ordered a full order of fettuccine with hopes to have the left overs for lunch. It was delicious with plenty of shrimp. However, 6 hours later I was sick. Assume it was the shrimp so will not be eating the leftovers. However, will definitely order this item off the menu again as it was delicious. Contaminated seafood is a growing problem in the US. Finished off the meal with olive oil cake which was served with a birthday candle. Hannah, our waitress was what everyone wants in a waitress. Communicative, explaining the different entrees when asked, making recommendation, checking back often but not being intrusive. Alta Via is lucky to have Hannah.

Welcoming staff that make sure you know they care. 2. Great gourmet Vegetarian selections on the menu...finally a good place to take my Vegan mom when she comes to visit. 3. A choice of tasty mocktails on the menu...one of the few places with good food that I don't have to miss an accompanying beverage. 4. Delightful presentation....especially dessert. It looked so inviting I totally forgot to take a picture and dug right into the chocolate torte. It was as good as it looked too! 5. Prompt service and attentive wait staff. Even though I went on arguably the busiest night of the year (Valentine's Day) the pace of the restaurant was fluid, Staff was relaxed, I waited for nothing and the food came out at perfect temperatures. What I didn't like: I ran out of space in my tummy and couldn't order another mocktail. Highly Recommend! Vegetarian options: It was so nice to see an interesting selection that treated vegetarian dishes with the same degree of detail. It's so hard to find a great place to take my vegetarian momin Pittsburgh that creates something really wow. I will be bringing her as soon as possible to enjoy.

Love Alta Via! Great place for a nice date night and always amazing food and wine. Don’t skip the tiramisu! read more Love Alta Via! Great place for a nice date night and always amazing food and wine. Don’t skip the tiramisu!
