Altesi is always a sure thing for a good meal with fine service. The Carciofi Giudia is a treat and the pasta is always cooked properly- -(about 15 seconds more than hard al dente, but never overcooked mushy).

Great meal. Super service. Looking forward to the next time.

Service excellent. Food, good traditional Italian, the carciofi salad was excellent as was the vitello tonato, (sans tomatoes would have been better). Pasta was good, my gran children are expert in pasta and they finished it up.
Their regular dining room is very nice, but their impromptu grotto was not, they could have disguised better that it was a reconverted dingy back patio. The tables outside on the sidewalks are OK, again they could have done a better job disguising some of the stuff.

good food in a very pleasant atmosphere, with friendly staff

Always pleasant.

Great place, great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful to be back here again and find that it is still delicious and gracious

We sat outside, as it is still the pandemic. It is lovely with a brown curtain, and everything was exquisite!

Staff was very casually dressed. Roman artichokes are better elsewhere. Tiramisu was also just ok. At these prices the standard should be higher.

Wonderful food, service and ambiance!! Loved my Branzino!!

Our first time seeing friends. We are indoors as it was cold out. The tables were set far enough apart that we felt very safe. Food was outstanding. Service was slow as they’re slightly understaffed but perfectly fine under the circumstances. It felt great to be back at one of favorite restaurants!

Very nice, good food but too long mariachi music!

Everything lovely on a day outside!

I like Altesi, and this was only my second visit. We had to eat inside because it was rainy and the tables were nicely spaced that lunchtime, not many diners that day. The food is
good, the service both pleasant and quite adequate. I am likely to steer more friends there in the future and go back there myself.

We had another terrific dinner at Altesi last Saturday night. Even though they were full, with almost all of the tables outside occupied. Nonetheless the service was timely, almost as it we were the only ones there. The food was delicious. The endive salad was perfect and the fish and the pasta spot on. All in all it was a perfect evening made so by the great folks at Altesi.

Friendly atmosphere. A little pricey.

Pleasant and attractive setting, attentive service and tasty, well-prepared food.

The very best Northern Italian fine dining.
Wonderful Service. We love the pasta.

Always fabulous, thank you Paolo!

Food and service was great. Definitely would go back.

nice ambience, quality food, pastas were excellent. Overall, very pricey on the sides and salads, and the tab,(inclusive of service)of $90 pp for a glass of wine, a salad and a pasta was a bit over the top.

As always great ambience, service and fantastic food. We really enjoyed our dinner. We recommend Altesi to everyone!

Great experience, food and service. Well spaced tables inside and beautiful outdoor set up. Everyone loved the food and the service was warm and friendly.

Food was incredible! Service was okay, but at least they were nice. Ambiance is great- UES vibes but it’s NY (so loud- we like it, but not for everyone). Definitely will be back :)

Unfortunately due to Covid restaurants are having a difficult time keeping the quality of food and services. I do hope things get better for restaurants.

Excellent food and service. As always.

Plenty of outdoor tables. Excellent service and delicious food.

Altesi was very good ,location amazing ,general manager very kind and professional. Only one unpleasant note: we are Italians we love the bread and no bread available. Only bread sticks. We’ll come back again for sure.

Delicious! Great service

Lamb chops and halibut were delicious. Great wine list! Great covid outdoor setup and friendly service.

Very nice dinner. Great service and food and our own space in back courtyard with attentive service.

Excellent food and service.

Best Italian food in Manhattan and great service.

Staff is wonderful

We opted to sit indie. The ambience was a little lacking as it seems most people choose outdoor dining.
Food was delicious. Service was lovely. Our waitress was very busy but was attentive. A neighborhood gem!

Great place inside and out!

The restaurant it’s amazing, the owner is always around making you feel comfortable explaining the menus, the history of the different wines.
For me the best dishes is the lamb, the rabbit ragu... but the tiramisu is the best one I have ever taste!
Amazing place!
We are frequently customers !

Great atmosphere - wonderful personal service and superb food. Excellent warm inviting vibe. Well-trained conscientious staff made dining in the COVID era safe and comfortable.
One of our top places in NYC!

An amazing gem of an Italian joint. Great service and great food.

Always wonderful food and great service. Have been many times to this restaurant and I am always very happy with the food!
