    tables and chairs in a restaurant
    Sarah M.

    A friend and I tried Altesi for the first time during restaurant week. We had a very nice weekend lunch here, both ordering a salad and a pasta for our two courses. The Caesar salad was very good, and my friend enjoyed her ravioli. The slightly annoying part is that they charged $7 each for iced teas, with no refills and no mention of the cost on the menu. So 3 iced teas between the two of us totaled $21...ouch. This restaurant is on the lower level, but they make it look pretty nice regardless.

    We took advantage of restaurant week to try this charming restaurant out for lunch. It's situated in a townhouse. The space is charming. The waitstaff were very attentive. The host was managing the proceedings very carefully. We were started of with crispy thin breadsticks. The iced tea was surprisingly good. We has sautéed Roman "Jewish style" artichokes that aren't exactly they way they are served in Rome, bur very good nonetheless. We both had chicken parmigiana as our main course. It was very good. In an unusual twist, it was accompanied by silky mashed potatoes. This is a very nice restaurant and I'm glad we were able to check it out as a restaurant week deal.

    [Grade: A] [Worth it ($)?: 10/10 - amazing deal for restaurant week] We had a reservation for lunch to celebrate a birthday in the family. As I'm just visiting town, I didn't really know what to expect but they said it was pretty good whenever they come. Little did I know I was about to be blown away at how amazing it truly was. I already love italian food, but I didn't know it could taste like this. As it was restaurant week, they had a special for a three-course meal. I choose the Gamberi, which honestly was the best thing I ate for me. It was incredibly creamy, the orzo and gamberi were cooked perfectly, and every bite was a little bite of heaven. It reminded me of a risotto but elevated to the max. Next, I had the tagliatelle, which was also amazing. The pasta was cooked to perfection and coated in a delicious, rich sauce. Lastly, we had a cioccolato, which was a chocolate and vanilla mousse, and it was the perfect thing to finish out incredible lunch. In general, this place absolutely crushed any expectations I had for the restaurant and any italian food I've ever eaten. Any time I eat pasta again, I'll dream of this place, so hopefully I'll be back soon to taste more of their mouthwatering food!

    It hurts me to give this rating, because the service was exceptional. We wanted to love it! Service 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars Food quality 3.5 stars (everything needed salt) Food portion / presentation 3 stars Value 2 stars As you can see in the pictures, the portions were small or the plates were too big, and that risotto was $40.... the ravioli was $30 for 6 pieces....

    Gamberi

    Prosciutto So-- important to know I am an older female -- dining alone. I never review before at least 2 or three times at a restaurant. The manager/ owner I believe is "on his game!" He is very active in ALL aspects from greeting, seating, checking on patrons. He is an A+...... his young staff is B+. They are not as "on their game" when it comes or attention to detail with service and especially answering questions about the dishes. They were dismissive to myself amd the table beside me. I will be back, but the staff truly needs to follow the lead of their boss. I do not know him, or his name-- but his attention to detail needs to be aspired to by his staff.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

For entree we got the Tomahawk and Branzino. Both were cooked so well, absolutely top class. Our server and all other staff members were pro, providing a sincere friendly dinner service. All the dishes came out within short intervals. Handmade drinks came straight from the bar. Overall we spent over two wonderful hours dining and drinking here.

We had a nice table tucked in to a corner where we had a view of the kitchen and could sit next to each other on the bench seat. Our primary server, Luis, was helpful and lovely. I was impressed with the way the whole staff seemed to work together to serve, bus tables, ask if we needed anything and talk with us. I really have to say the service was superb. Shoutout to Chris who not only tended bar but worked the floor and to the lovely hostess whose name I wish I had gotten. But really the whole staff was just A+++. We shared the crispy artichokes (outstanding) and the cacio e Pepe arancini (where the fried parsley was especially unique and delicious) to start. I had the eggplant parmesan which reminded me of an eggplant dish I had in Venice -- but better. My husband had the ricotta cavatelli which was also great. For dessert I had the olive oil cake accompanied by lemon curd and --wait for it -- rosemary gelato. I was skeptical about this gelato, but it turned out to be a wonderfully fantastic surprise! My husband had the Apple Crostata which was also fantastic. The limoncello was a perfect way to end the meal. I was told by my husband that I can't shave off a star for Chef Tom not being there himself. So, I won't. Fair enough. But I'm still hoping I catch him another time.
