    This bonk is Ridonk. An Astronomically Gifted Gastronomia. Winthrop would've called this a city upon a hill - but we're in a valley, in a village. Alta, you are the light of the world. A village set in a valley cannot be hidden. Like winter wonderland for suburban Italians. I walked in just to take a look, and upon entrance my eyes opened so wide that tears begun to flow upwards out of my eyes. Combing my hair backward with flooding water. My brother pinched himself but lost all feeling, and was unable to tell if he were now in a dream. But as we know, he wasn't dreaming, signori. Unexpectedly, but with the ebullience of a young boy I pridefully dropped a fat bill on a variety of goods. Zippo on the regrets, and ya better believe that. Some personality behind the counter adds to the vibe of this pseudo deli turned ristorante. They could've convinced me into buying the whole establishment - had me hook, line and sinker. Yet I didn't leave feeling like a stinker. What do I recommend? Every ting. Da sandwiches is surelllllly da best in a couple town radius. Diameter. Pi. Calculus, yea whatever. Sandy was fat yet functional, sort of like me. Bread options are spectacular. The homemade balsamic. The balsamic dip. Arancini. Dessert. And of course, da pig of da pin, da bell of da ball, da Porchetta. Not to mention, but I guess I am mentioning, you can practically live here. The porchetta king is constantly throwing porchetta samples on the counter. You may get overwhelmed by the samplings. I think they may have been feeding stuff to me hand to mouth. I blacked out. Sfogliatelle samples? Scusi me, where are we in Napoli? Who do you folks think you are? Love it. Love the game. I'm a scrimp a dimp shrimp, since I've yet to get my naughty knuckles or my gooey gums on some of dis pizzzza. That oven brings me back, to the Amalfi. To the coast. Nel blu, dipinto di blu. What did I get myself into... Anyways I think I left with the pistachio cream, a Parma sandwich I may have added a cutlet, this thing was beautiful. I got their balsamic vin dip and slapped it on the bread of da sandy myself. Mamma Mia I need to go back. I got a classic crispy loaf, for I am a man of class. Some gelato found its way somewhere. Call me dramatic and over emphatic but this place is an automatic. Cheers to the new kings of DTS (Down Town Suffern for non locals.) I'll be stopping in here and there to pay my respects, mi amore. Ciao ciao - Mr. Bonotucci.

    Run, do not walk, to Alta Irpinia for their Porchetta Sandwich or on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Porchetta Pizza.

    Holy beejeezis the Porchetta Pizza... it is outstanding. Available only on Friday and Saturday after 5:00pm and Sundays after noon, the Porchetta Pizza at Alta Irpinia is an absolutely amazing "destination dish". The flavor of the Porchetta is complex with hints of spice and crisp edges that may be the greatest thing to happen to pizza since sauce, cheese, and bread got together the first time. They have other pizzas that are also at the top of their game -- but do not skip the Porchetta! Frankly everything at Alta Irpinia is top notch. The Faro Salad, Polpette, Seafood Salad, and the humble Chicken Cutlet are some excellent highlights. Don't skip the imported packaged goods from Italy! There's always something interesting and delicious. Ask anyone that works in the place for suggestions. They won't steer you wrong! They don't have seating inside, but if the weather is nice, there's some tables outside to enjoy the spread you get. If you're trekking from NYC, take NJ Transit to Suffern. Alta is a short walk from the station. If you want to make a day of your Suffern visit, check the schedule at the Lafayette Theatre which is just down the street. Beautiful place. (Bonus points if they're playing the organ before your feature!) So yeah... Porchetta Pizza. Add it to your list. Go as soon as you can. And hit me with your review of this magical Italian masterpiece.

    Coarse sea salted pizza crust? Yes please! And when you see a steady stream of short, older, hair dyed Italian grandmothers coming in and out, you just know you've hit pay dirt. This tiny Italian oasis is a gastrointestinal gem. I would have ordered the entire store but with limited seating (one table indoors, a few more on the sidewalk) space and time was limited. Now those meatballs are huge and packed with flavor, a perfect complement to the pizza. I opted for the pepperoni, delicious but those roni cups slightly overwhelmed the delicious cheese and sauce. The counter people, probably the owners were super friendly and answered many questions customers asked. Fair warning, you pay for the premium quality!

    The best pizza we have ever had (even the pizza we had in Italy doesn't compare). We got the margarita and Tartufo truffle, and both were equally incredible. Staff is super quick and polite. We definitely will be back and recommend!!!

    Chicken Parm

    Wanted to like this place but it didn't happen :-( Called to order pizzas at 7P on a Friday night. Out of pizza :-( (And they only serve pizza from 5-8P) Ordered Chicken Parm hero on semolina roll. Asked if they use sauce on the sandwich and they said yes. Nope, just a scant amount of sauce, not even enough to wet the bread. Bread was over toasted making it tough to eat. Chicken was very dry and tough and very little cheese :-( Ordered a eggplant parm on ciabatta bread. Bread was good. Again, just a scan amount of sauce and a bit more cheese. Eggplant was a bit mushy, not a good fry. Only good item was their cherry filled almond cookie. Disappointing given the good reviews. Not going back for sandwiches, might try their pizza "if" it's still available.

No plate went back with a single crumb left on it. Everyone raved. The shortribs with the sweet potato my GAWD so good and I am a short rib conossoir. The handmade pasta al dente as real Italians like it. My Mother said the eggplant tasted just like her Grandmothers and it truly was delicious. My husband the pickiest eater was very happy with his filet and loved the sauce and italian sausage. Carrot cake which is my favorite dessert in general was the best I have had. We shared desserts and all were exceptional. We are no strangers to fine dining and this restaurant did not disappoint. The staff was great, the service also great. We were greeted by one of the owners and welcomed us like family. We had a wonderful experience @ Bici and plan to return soon. Byob is a plus and the prices are extremely reasonable for this culinary experience. My photos dont do the presentation any justice but I will add.

    Started with the burrata and it was delish! Just wish there was an extra piece of crostini…read more We both ordered the filet - medium. Came out cooked perfectly. We both didn't love the bacon Gorgonzola cheese spread on top, the Gorgonzola is way too over powering. The peanut butter semi freddo was divine and I favorite of mine back when Velo used to be in Nyack! Marcelo and the staff were nice, as always. My biggest disappointment was seeing every table get complimentary chocolate covered strawberries or a shot of some sort- but we got offered neither. I was - am - quite insulted. We went tonight as a Valentine's date and enjoyed ourselves but I'm pretty upset about that last bit. As if, we're not important enough...

Then I had to chase him down after waiting over 15 minutes for apps and bread! BREAD, seriously!!! There was only one other table there, and three other tables across from us sat un-bussed for thirty minutes. Not pleasant to look at, especially since the restaurant was otherwise all but empty. Our waiter was clearly more interested in flirting with the one other server on duty, who was trying to work and not returning his attention, but whatever. She was the one who ended up bringing our food and refilling my drink. Later our server moved on to show one of the other employees something on his phone, where I found him when I chased him down to get the bill. Which he then had to write out and add up with a calculator while we waited even longer so we could LEAVE. The two stars are for the food, which was very good- garlic knots were delish and we very much enjoyed our pizzas. Crust was the perfect thickness and a good balance of crispy and chewy. My son would advise that you watch out for the "splotches" of delicious tomato sauce on top of the "Classic" pizza, as kids may be expecting a more traditional cheese-covered pie, but his dad and I thought it was great.

Pizza is "really good", according to my teenage kid. That's saying a lot, when the comments list are "ok", "good" or "meh".

Will definitely be coming back soon to try other dishes!

We armed ourselves with our bottles of wine and we were ready for a great meal.. It's a small place, but it's decorated nicely and tastefully. My only issue was it was extremely cold in there. I get it that the people are making the pizza get very hot, but it was kind of uncomfortable and I had to keep taking my coat on and off. But that literally it was the only negative. We started with the arugula salad, which was absolutely delicious. Very fresh and crisp. The cheese on it was amazing. You could tell it was high-quality and we loved the sun-dried tomatoes. We then moved onto mussels in a red sauce they were very good. They were not stringy. They were not dry. The sauce was delicious but I would've said go a little bit later on the onions next time, but overall, it was very tasty. The pizza was definitely the stand out here. It came out much bigger than we thought it was gonna be and we usually are able to finish a whole thin crust pizza but we just couldn't do it. This time. The crust was cooked perfectly. Their sauce is absolutely delicious. I felt like I was eating my own families sauce. That's how homemade it tasted. We got black olives on it and I love the way that they were. It wasn't overloaded. They weren't wet and I have to say I don't know where they got their basil from but the taste was incredible. I do want to add that I found myself staring at the gentleman that were actually kneading the pizza dough... I am right from Italy and I felt like I was transported back home the attention that he was paying to the Joe it was definitely watching an art We will definitely be back here. Hopefully it'll be a little bit warmer lol but overall, this was definitely one of my new favorites.

But for quick takeout, it does the job. The menu is pretty large and includes typical Italian fare (pasta, pizza, salads, chicken dishes, etc). I think they do pasta dishes best, particularly their chicken Alfredo and chicken parm. I tried their buffalo chicken pizza most recently, and although it was perfectly cheesy, I wasn't a fan of their buffalo sauce. It a tastes like a mix between buffalo and tomato, not your typical buffalo sauce you'd find on a pizza or wings. If you're looking for quick, casual Italian food in the area, it's a decent option.
