Update: owner of the restaurant reached out and refunded part of my check due to what the waitress did. As a student I really appreciate the honesty from the business owner. Honestly, the food was good and I was gonna leave a good review until I saw my bank statement today which should've been $113 but the waitress added an extra $16 for a tip even though we have money in cash so shady. read more

We got to our flight early so we could have lunch. Alta Strada was right in front of our gate and had a diverse menu so we decide to eat there. Everything was great. I had an excellent burger and my son had mac/cheese which he liked. My wife, who rarely eats meat, also had a burger and was very happy. The place is clean with plenty of seating and the wait staff was highly attentive. Great place for a sit down meal while waiting for your flight. read more

Expensive beer and food at the airport aside, the food here was pretty good and had nice flavor. I'd consider grabbing a spot at the bar next time I am in town, as that's probably the best way to get decent service. Overall, it is slightly better than average for an airport restaurant. read more

Food is expensive for what you get. Ordered food and drinks and cashier asked if I was going to sit in dining area. I said no but changed my mind after ordering and paying. When my husband and I sat down in dining area the cashier and waitress told us we could not sit in dining area despite the fact we were patrons and had just spent $35 on food. I think that is less than poor customer service. read more

Food was good but expensive- $26 for pasta. Service was ok. I came in at 4:30pm and felt rushed because they started doing last calls. They were supposed to close at 8pm so I was planning on having a good dinner but kinda felt cheated since after I ordered they said they are closing early... super lame. As I was leaving the floor was mopped and I was afraid I'd trip with all my luggage If it wasn't for that I'm sure it would've been a great place. read more

I typically don't do solo sit down meals at airports, but my flight was delayed and I figured why not. I also was craving MORE Italian, despite having several days of noodle adjacent meals (including an actual pasta). I caught the restaurant at a good time where there was seating by the corner. Sadly they didn't offer free water, but its the airport for ya. I got the arugula salad and spaghetti marinara (saw pictures where folks receiver actual spaghetti & I got a different type of pasta). I was a little worried it would be too much but it was just right. The sauce/dressing on both was perfect. And of course I relished in the full coverage shaved cheese in the salad! Service was great & I have so much respect for those working in the terminals. read more

My family and I recently visited Alta Strada in Boston, and we had an unfortunate experience that I feel is worth sharing. While the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and the menu looked promising, we ran into a pretty big hiccup. We had brought along a small portion of chicken nuggets for our child, who can be a picky eater and sometimes just needs something familiar. Unfortunately, the staff told us that they don't allow any outside food whatsoever, even for a child, and we ended up having to leave because our kiddo just wasn't going to eat anything else. I understand restaurant policies about outside food, but I do think a little flexibility for a small child's dietary needs would have gone a long way. So just a heads-up to families with picky eaters: you might want to check ahead or be prepared for that policy. It was disappointing, and we ended up having to dine elsewhere. read more

This is the furthest $23 (19 plus tax and tip I believe) has ever gotten me in the airport. Feeds two people if they're not super hungry. 10 minutes, hot and cooked well. 9/10 by airport standards, 5/10 in the real world. Pizza is pizza.

Who knew food in a Boston airport would be this authentic and taste this good! Service was good and this place was extremely busy. they get the customers in, served and on their way to their gates!

My expectation for airport dining is so low, but Alta Strada is pretty decent. I ordered a glass of wine and a baby arugula salad, which was nothing fancy; just arugula, parmesan, and some light dressing. Super filling portion, and the service was very fast. They have tables, but I opted to sit at the bar. As a plus, they have multiple TVs, which was nice because I wanted to watch football before my flight. Will definitely come here again if I fly out of BOS. read more

Check bills particularly at takeout carefully. Tried to tip 10% (was takeout) but charged me more than 20%. Small bill but highly annoying. Counter when I reported did nothing and didn't seem to care at all. Just hope employees are actually getting the tips . So check your bill before paying final. read more

I sat at the bar and ordered the turkey sandwich. Thought it was fresh and good. The bar had outlets which I liked.

Was pretty hungry after my flight and decided to grab a bite at the airport. I stored here after seeing they had a fennel sausage pizza. It sounds so good right? But it's just ok, it had the potential to be great, but it's kinda dry and slightly overcooked on the crust read more

Surprisingly very good for airport food. Salad was much bigger then expected and we were able to share and have some leftover. The cheese and tomato plate was good. The pepperoni pizza had wonderful crust. Would have been better with more cheese but it was still very good. Good space and able to put luggage by table with no issues. read more

I have never written a review like this before, but there's a first for everything. Was taking a red eye to NY and had a 2 hr layover in Boston. I reviewed all my food choices 6 weeks in advance and decided I wanted good Italian food. I called Alta Strada in the airport on 3-17 at 8:37 a.m. MST and confirmed they would be open at 6 a.m. I was told they would be, and they would be serving the FULL menu. Yeah! I had a plan. Lugged my carry on across the terminal to Alta Strada. Arrived about 6:30 a.m. Walked around it looking for a hostess station or something directing me to seating and not the To Go window. As I walked in, a waiter approached and I asked where to sit, then asked about the menu (before sitting). Nope, just the 4 breakfast options. I explained I had called much earlier and was told I could have pasta; he was indifferent. I walked out. Settled for a breakfast sandwich from another eatery. read more

Do not waste your time here!!! Ordered a simple grilled chicken sandwich and got cold lunch meat. Told them I don't want it because it's just horrible and they wanted to argue about it??? Trash food and trash service! read more

I stopped by here earlier today by myself for lunch. I happened to by flying on Delta and my terminal was right across from Alta Strata and so I figured I would give it a try. It's a seat yourself place and although there are open tables, as a party of 1, I chose a seat at the bar. This restaurant has a large square bar near the walkway in the terminal with two TVs above the bar. Then behind that they have plenty of table seating with 4 more TVs, all of which had on the cubs game this afternoon. For lunch on this day I decided to go with the turkey and avocado sandwich. Upon ordering I was told that they were out of fries and that they would substitute chips instead. I later heard that they were also out of tagliatelle, sausage, arugula and tomatoes. My sandwich came out relatively quickly and for the price I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in the size of it. Yes it was stacked high with lunch meat turkey but it was on a plain old burger bun. Besides the turkey there was bacon, avocado, lettuce (out of arugula), cheese and a chipotle Mayo. It tasted well enough, although with it being cold, it felt like something I would pack in a lunch to work. The chips themselves were also cold and I assume from a bag as they tasted along the lines of kettle chips. So I don't think any actual cooking was done with my meal which for $16.75 seems like a lot. Of course they do have a captive audience. The bottom line for me is that I probably wouldn't come back here again. My sandwich itself was ok, but they were out of tons of items and my sandwich itself could have been just as easily grabbed from a grab and go spot. read more

Located in Logan airport terminal A. A small place with a few seats. The food is very good. We ordered double smashed burger delux. The burger had good flavor with large amount of meat and cheese! However, there was no veggie (tomato, onion, lettuce) at all! Also, it took a while for the burger to be prepared. Cashier was sort of cold with a poker face. In addition, We asked for takeout box and then were not allowed to sit in the dine-in area which was unpleasant but we understood there might be strict rules..... read more

On the trip of the nicest people on the planet, we joined the bar for a refreshing alcoholic beverage of our choice. AND MAN were we absolutely blown away by the lovely bartenders and their "wit", upbeat attitude, didn't spill a drop or miss a thirsty drinker. People around us were happy with their meals. Not sure how it measures up to their Wellesley location (a Chef Tsai favorite in his 'hood), but the people... ah their people. And I was perfectly happy with my afternoon Aperol Spritz before my flight! read more

When my flight was delayed by a couple hours, I figured I'd get some lunch at BOS. Of all the restaurants, Alta Strada showed the most promise. I was not disappointed. The juicy smash burger was served hot and delicious. The shoestring fries did not disappoint. I highly recommend Alta Strada! read more

Alta Strada - Smash burger & Fries - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My go to when in Terminal A. I always get the Rigatoni, but have had the Caesar salad, and breakfast too. I LOVE the Rigatoni. Aside from the food, the service is great. I mentioned how it like to eat on the plane (long flight) and that it's a bummer the food is cold when I choose to eat. They doubled up all the insulating material and wrapped it in plastic. Customer service this good feels tragically limited today, but not here. Double threat of great food and awesome service has me here frequently. Should I find myself in Wellesley, at the original location, I won't be able to keep myself from eating! read more

I ate at Alta Strada on the way home from a trip and needed dinner before getting on the flight. I was with others and this is where we ended up. I started my meal with an Aperol Spritz and then got a burger with lettuce, cheese, and a pickle and a side salad instead of french fries. Our waiter told me that the buns and burgers were cooked on the same surface and asked how severe my allergy was. They ended up cooking my burger in the oven or on the stove and it ended up really good and the perfect meal before flying home. I was glad they were able to work with me so I could eat something safely because airports are usually tougher spots to find food. The restaurant was busy and the service was slow but that tends to occur at airport restaurants. read more

Requested the Alta Old Fashioned. The bartender said they didn't have any bitters and suggested just the same bourbon on the rocks without the rest of the ingredients. I accepted, then found that there was a 1.25 up charge for fewer ingredients. $18.25 for a single seemed pretty steep. Pasta was good. read more

I'm usually pretty skeptical of the food at airport restaurants but Alta Strada impressed me today. I ordered a double smash burger with aioli and fries and it was about $20. Not cheap, but not terrible for airport prices either. The burger was perfectly cooked and tasty and the fries were fresh out of the fryer and with just the right amount of salt. I ordered it to go so I could eat at my gate and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The chocolate muffin was good too, they looked freshly made that day. The eat in area was packed so it must be fairly popular. read more
