Altura is a great Italian spot with a wonderful atmosphere, good food and drinks, and great service. Their menu may not being very big, but it doesn't need to be when you do it well (which they do). The service was also great, quick and friendly.
Note: if you want the Chianti just make sure you pay attention to the per glass price (it's quite a bit).

So Altura just recently opened. Atmosphere is really nice and GREAT spot for any type of Date night. It's cozy, friendly and with the lighting has a Blue Velvet kinda feel.
I had their Sweet Heat infused Rye Bourbon Jalapeño Cocktail....IT WAS SO YUMMY.
The staff was extremely friendly and you really feel pampered. Food was delicious and nice portions. Only thing is we ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs. The sauce has peas in it which we didn't realize. So if you're not into peas just let them know. Lasagna was delicious and pizza is big enough to share!
The Caselvetrano Olive appetizer was wonderful. Menu is limited but if you're looking for great atmosphere, quiet evening with good food this is your place! Enjoy!!!

Great atmosphere and service but the food is not that good. Ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and taste like it came out of a can and my wife ordered the ravioli and was just as bad. All food ordered wasn’t even hot it was luke warm at best. Don’t understand the reviews on this place as that added to the disappointment considering I seen 4.9 star reviews on this place. Want a cocktail and lounge this is your place but not if you want real Italian food.

Service was great (friendly bartender and waiter... At least ours was; the waitress at the table next to us had a face like she just caught her boyfriend sleeping with her best friend... That or she hated her job, but our waiter was cool, calm, and helpful. Food was above average with great seasoning and flavor, and the drinks were good, but pricey for the size drink. Looks like a good, quiet place to go on a date (romantic, soft music, space between tables to say sexy things to each other without worrying about the table next to you listening in), but not the best place to hang out with friends unless you don't care everyone staring at you laughing like you were at an Improv Comedy Show but no one else thought the joke was funny. Still, I do recommend this place and would go back on a date.

This is the new Little Sicily that had a ton of reviews before moving. The calzone is amazing as always. The portion is big enough for two people. Come here from Monterey to have GOOD Italian food.
The only bummer is that the place doesn’t have that sweet little café feel anymore
What a great edition to Old Town. The atmosphere is great and the service was amazing. We started out with cocktails. My husband had the OG Margarita and I had the No Smoke No Bite Both were very good. And the presentation of the No Smoke No Bite was really cool. We then split the Caesar salad, Nonna's lasagna, and a pepperoni pizza. All were delicious. We're looking forward to returning soon.
Great atmosphere. Came on a Thursday which is apparently when they have their weekly jazz artist. Such a great experience. Cocktails don’t disappoint, and service is always great and friendly.

I love love love the ambiance here!! The lighting, music, and personal little couch were exactly what I was looking for. There is a fascinating variety of tequila. My appetizer was delicious and the service was great. The outdoor seating looks super fun too.

Finally, an excellent spot for some delicious mixed drinks! The mixologist is knowledgeable and friendly when I sat at the bar to ask questions regarding the alcohol used and ingredients. I also enjoyed the atmosphere, and in all, it's a great place to grab great drinks and dinner with family and friends. Been here twice, and Oscar, the manager, has greeted us and ensured we've had a superb experience. Highly recommend checking them out.
