“ This place was a pleasant surprise for their overall quality of food. I thought the food was exceptional. I got the Chitarri and the two people with me got chicken parm and something else, can’t remember. We also got the garlic bread appetizer which was excellent. Great service as well. Our waiter was attentive but not overly attentive. We enjoyed this experience thoroughly. Great work! ”
“ Alta Strada is a busy, happy, pretty restaurant right in the center of Wellesley. It has been there for long enough to confirm that the food and experience are good enough to please a discerning clientele, and I would agree. This is an Italian restaurant, so to start, a big hunk of crusty bread is set on the table, with olive oil. It's good. The appetizers looked appealing on the menu and as waiters served them to guests around us, tbey looked good. I wasn't terribly hungry so just ordered an entree, Chicken Parmesan. A nice dish, decent portion, the tomato sauce was light and good, I was pleased. Roasted broccoli on the side. A word on service, which might be the secret to their success. Our waiter was funny and kind. We were with friends and wanted to talk, which the waiter understood and didn't rush us. Also, I changed my order and he was so nice to me in spite of my indecision. I should also note they have a very competent cocktail, wine and beer list. Our friend ordered a Martini with extra olives, and then when he wanted a few more the waiter brought more, neatly skewered. That's good service and gets an extra gold star from me. ”
“ After a mishap with delivery from my UberEats driver after ordering off of the website, the hostesses and the manager were so very sweet to help me out! The hospitality was amazing and made my night much better! Also the food was so delicious! I look forward to returning! ”
“ Great service and good food. I will definitely recommend reserving in advance. Because it is popular and gets busy in the evenings. Family friendly atmosphere. ”
“ We love the pappardelle with wild boar, as well as clams vogonle. The service was pretty good too, the waitress came and checked out a couple time to make sure things are right. If there are anything for improvement, some dishes could be less salty depends on personal preference ”
“ I had to place an order though Uber Eats and it wouldn’t let me add grilled chicken through the app, I called in to see if I could place the order with them over the phone but the only way to get delivery was through the app so I ended up ordering a regular pasta without including the grilled chicken but it all worked out great because the owner sent the pasta with the breast added. Their food was amazing and they went above and beyond with their service. So grateful and so happy! Thank you!! ”
