Alta Strada Embassy Row

The restaurant is located in the Canopy Hotel. I enjoyed eating lunch there during restaurant week with a few friends. I ordered from the restaurant week menu, and one friend ordered from the regular lunch menu.I ordered the Bluefin Tartar as an appetizer. It had a layer of avocado on top as well as some crunchy flakes. The tuna was mixed nicely with fish roe which popped nicely as I was chewing. We also received some toasted bread to go with our various appetizers. For my main course, I ordered the Crispy Chicken Burger which had crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato and fresh slices of avocado layered on top. Drizzled with a slightly spicy sauce (like a Sriracha mayo?) Chicken was tender and the bun was toasted well.Finally the dessert was a chocolate-peanut butter budino which had a creamy chocolate/peanut butter (thick pudding texture) topped with crunchy chocolate balls, whipped cream and toffee bits. Very rich and decadent! Loved it!Our servers were friendly and attentive from start to finish. The decor is a very calm and relaxing vibe and they have a nice long bar to have drinks after work.

Alta Strada does fantastic Italian food. I've been here numerous times on dates and just a nice ish meal out. Service is always amazing and the ambiance is intimate. Would not classify this as anything more than a nice dinner spot though.

Service was exceptional, food was prompt and waiter gave great recommendations. Highly recommend hamachi crudo, celery salad , gnocchi and crème brûlée .

My bf and I visited 2.15.25, and as expected, we were thoroughly pleased with the taste and quantity of our meals. Can't wait until they bring the crusty garlic bread and chicken parm back to this location . We were lucky to have the same server as we did when we first visited the K street location last summer 2024 and he was just as lovely and attentive .
