    Food was amazing! The waitress recommended the eel hand roll and it was our favorite. Every dish was delicious and full of flavors. The drinks were very good as well. They gave us a free edamame appetizer for having to wait but it was all well worth it. Very cozy and intimate setting. Best seafood and sushi I’ve had in the city. Highly recommend.

    Delicious food- everything on the menu is worth ordering at least once. Beautiful, classy ambience and kind, attentive staff. This restaurant could make anyone fall in love with pasta. By far my family’s favorite place in the city. We recommend the fusilli & the Caesar salad; both are perfectly-executed modern twists on classic Italian dishes (like everything on the menu). Wonderful experience all around every time we go here. Cannot recommend Alta Via enough— it’s worth all the hype and prices.
