   Food fine, but. - my goodness - $12 for a bottle of water (on reflection i don’t think this price was even visible on the menu). I was too shocked to complain. I feel like I have been truly gouged and will never return.

   This is a true gem. This restaurant is terribly underrated. The food, service and ambiance are on par with the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Will definitely return

   They Were impatient with us and rushed us through the entire meal. The spaghetti was barely cooked. The only time they were actually polite was after we left the tip. Although I'm a woman and I paid for a six person meal they brought the card back and put it in front of the man sitting next to me for a signature.

    This is becoming one of our favorite spots. Awesome pizza served oblong, not too crispy, but not too soft. I had the Diavoletto which was great but not too spicy, the waiter said add the "Pepper Oil" that comes with all pizzas. I did and WOW was it hot but full of flavor. We highly recommend the Pepper Oil but try just a little first so you can moderate to your correct heat threshold. She had the Margherita pizza and loved it. She said it was perfect "fold over" pizza. She had the Prosciutto and Burrata special app which was huge and really tasty. I had the Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes which was some of the best I have ever had and I have had a lot!!! Really a must have. We passed on dessert because we were too full, but 2 other tables told us the tiramisu was really good and really different than others they have had. Great room and great service. Lots of fun to sit near the door and watch the world walk bye through the gigantic french walls of glass that they leave open in the summer. We will go back again soon. Loved this place. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like.

    We had a great time at Altesi. The food was excellent, all of it. We had ravioli, gnocchi, salmon, and duck fettuccini at the table. Everything was cooked perfectly. The cocktails were hearty as well. The service was great. The a/c was a bit chilly but all of the energy and great music made up for that.

    We went to Altesi prior to seeing Alex Edelman at the Soho Playhouse (fabulous!) and had a delicious meal outdoors. This was our first visit and we ate the carpaccio, grilled artichokes, grilled seafood and broccolini. Everything was well seasoned and beautifully prepared. The wait staff was on its game. The outdoor seating was lovely. We will definitely go back.

    A welcome respite from the generally downward slope of Restaurant Week: restore a few good places, vastly increase variable pricing and for the most part continue boring, cheap food offerings; purpose being NOT to introduce customers to a restaurant but fleece them as if never seeing them again. Altesi a pleasant departure with an interesting menu with varied choices. Have complained about this for years to no avail. My solution: cut back from 15-20 visits to 3-4. Altesi starters of Caesar salad and artichokes were quite good. Lemon sole, beautifully browned was a misshaped, bit overcooked dish. Raspberry dessert very good. Special wine pricing on bottles appreciated, though wine list prices were better than many. A pity that the place was near empty, while dumps like Merakia lack empty seats.

    My guest and I enjoyed our restaurant week dinner. A surprisingly good variety of options on the menu making it harder to choose. My guest asked for the shrimp app, mushroom ravioli and raspberry frozen dessert. I had the fried artichokes, sole and pistachio tartufo. All were delicious. $40 bottles of wine also appreciated. Service impeccable. Nice ambience. Wonderful evening.

    We had a great meal on a Friday night but it was so loud! We were screaming to hear one another. Service was slow to begin, but I think that’s because a lot of tables arrived at the same time. Once we ordered, things sped up. We will definitely be back.

    We had the Restaurant Week Menu last night. The service was pleasant; the food was variable. The artichoke appetizer was delicious, as was both desserts. The main courses were both disappointing. The fish was flavorless and the lamb shank, while tender, needed herbs or something as it too was lacking in flavor.

    A perfect place to celebrate our son's new job and birthday! We ate outside in the nicely decorated and heated space. The food, as always, was superb, especially the Jewish artichoke appetizer and all the pastas. Had a lovely Barolo wine and the restaurant's signature tiramisu--plus a yummy chocolate mousse. The staff was wonderful plus gave a sweet rendition of Happy Birthday :) This is our go-to place when we want to know everything is going to be done right.
