Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for business meals

Alta Strada serves authentic, Italian food in the vibrant neighborhood of Mount Vernon Triangle in the heart of Washington, DC. Alta Strada was born from the simple wish to share great ingredients, honored flavors, and a warm welcome with neighbors and friends. Always expect housemade pasta, authentic Italian classics, and great reds (cocktails too)—all enjoyed in our dining rooms, patio spaces, or in the comfort of your own home. Alta Strada's full bar, shady patio and welcoming dining room are a short stroll from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

Table for 7 was ready when we arrived. Our waiter was informed, accommodating and patient. The dinners were delicious. We enjoyed a recommended red wine. We enjoyed every sip and bite! The portions are generous and some baked ziti was enjoyed for lunch the next day.

So when they say that the garlic table bread and sauce is world famous if not, it should be. It was fantastic. It was really our favorite part of the meal. Hands-down. The bolognese pasta was seasoned a little off from a traditional Bolognese, and therefore not something we would recommend to anyone if you are looking for true Bolognese pasta – – which we were. The wine selections were a little sparse. Paid $22 for a cab, but I could get a pretty decent cab somewhere else rather than the house cab. If you want the table bread it’s worth the trip, but the pasta was kind of average.
