About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
After 22 years, Paolo Alavian has closed his iconic Soho restaurant "Savore" and replaced it with Altesi Downtown. Altesi Downtown is outpost of Altesi Madison, his Upper East Side townhouse restaurant. Locally sourced seasonal ingredients will be used in traditional Italian dishes, which will be served alongside small plates including Salumi and cheese platter served on cutting boards, panini and pizza from the wood-fired oven. Like its sister concept, Altesi Downtown offers Aperitivo (cocktails served with Hors D'Oeuvres) and A2Go - a lunchbox-style selection of panini, water/soda and small cookies.

    Decided last minute to make a late 8:30pm dinner reservation and the service, food, and drinks were delightful. Pasta and seafood were fresh and delicious.

    Have been coming here for brunch/lunch for the last 5 years. It never disappoints! I went for brunch a week ago and they had a menu of JUST egg dishes, all interesting ( and fab) and priced incredibly well. I'm thinking they may have their own chickens ! lol 🐣

    Sorry - it was a busy night and maybe we caught them on a bad night. It happens - but the service was just non existent. The food was good, but we won’t be back.
