What a treat it was to spend my final night in NYC enjoying a fabulous meal at Altesi Madison. The service was great and the ambience, cozy. Charming, tasty thin bread sticks awaited me at the table, along with a tasty hummus-like dip. I started off the meal with Insulata Orto, a delicious and generous portion of shaved brussel sprouts, thinly sliced red apple, parmigiano, and pecans, tossed in a light, lemon-honey dressing. Being a fish lover, I had Grigliatadi Pesce for my entre, which included the most tender and delicous octopus I have ever had, along with lightly grilled shrimp, scallops, and cuttlefish. This feast left me too full for dessert. And the price was right-no more than a typical, good restaurant where I come from in L.A.

Altesi is a neighborhood restaurant. You walk in are greeted nicely. People are dressed nicely neat not ripped clothes. Sets mood. Color scheme soothing w orange popping. Now service gr8. Melon sweet Parma delicious. Lentil soup hit spot. Entre. My husband cleaned his plate of the blk squid pasta. I enjoyed my lamb. To be honest it was the best rack of lamb I have had in a long time. The ice cream was very delicious. My only add would be when you have coffee they give you biscotti or cookies. Will return more often to try other things on the extensive menu. chi vediamo
