Best Italian Restaurants in Keswick

Superb food presented beautifully and attentive staff. Reasonably priced for excellent quality.

As a first timer at Alta Strada I was pleasantly surprised of how quaint and cozy it was inside. I have been passing by it for years and have never really thought to go in. However, my friend and I were seeking out something new and craving Italian…so it Yelp let us to Alta Strada! We did make a reservation (highly recommended) and were greeted by two very nice hostesses. We were seated near the window with a nice view of the Mosaic. The ambiance was a warm, comfortable, and home-like vibe. We started with the garlic bread and it was served with a side of Marinara. The bread had the perfect ratio of crispy yet softness to it. The marinara was robust but not overly so and had a hint of sweetness as it should. The main course was cacio e pepe w/ pancetta paired with the Falanghina white wine for me, and the rigatoni for my friend. I will say these came out extremely fast which made me wonder if they were pre-prepared but the flavor of both was delicious. Finally, we ended our meal sharing a plate of the bomboloni (ricotta donuts) which comes with five and is served with a side of chocolate and raspberry sauces. They were amazing! I would like to see them add a 20-year Tawny Port to their menu as an after dinner drink. Overall, our experience was lovely and I would return. The price point, ambiance, & food was perfect.

Always a wonderful experience. Looking forward to a return visit and getting my caricature on the wall.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. And best of all, our server Anthony gave us the best service in the world and made my adopted sister's birthday the best birthday she's ever had.

Our main course came out at same time as appetizers (it was a very busy night), but Jonathan was able to send it back and get it redone so that we could finish. He took care of us and demonstrated superior customer service and kindness throughout the night! A+
