Thank you Cucina Alfabeto for redeeming our Valentine’s Day! My wife and I were underwhelmed by the restaurant we dined with on the 14th, but upon discovering your restaurant still miraculously had some availability, we booked a “mulligan” Valentine’s Day for the day after. Our experience with your amazing restaurant and team more than made up for our previous night’s debacle. I had the Veal Milanese - protip: ask for extra caper gremolata, it makes the dish - and my wife got the cod tortellini which was masterfully presented. We chose to sit at the bar despite table availability and were delighted to make the acquaintance of the new head bartender, Chris. He is an expert mixologist and wonderful host. After dinner we popped over to the bookstore, remembering the manager of Cucina Alfabeto is able to work their register, so my wife and I picked out books for each other. The night was perfection!

Right when you walk in everyone is very friendly! We got seated within 5 minutes of our reservation. We went on Valentine’s Day, so they were very busy but managed it very well. The waitress we had was very polite and friendly. She told us about the highlights of the menu and her personal favorites. It was a nice experience to hear the popular recommendations! All 3 courses that we ordered came out in a timely fashion and were absolutely delicious! The lobster crab cake appetizer was definitely amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and was so tender! The crème brûlée was so light but cooked at just the right temperature and time! Overall, we were very pleased with this restaurant and will most definitely be back very soon!

Delicious food- everything on the menu is worth ordering at least once. Beautiful, classy ambience and kind, attentive staff. This restaurant could make anyone fall in love with pasta. By far my family’s favorite place in the city. We recommend the fusilli & the Caesar salad; both are perfectly-executed modern twists on classic Italian dishes (like everything on the menu). Wonderful experience all around every time we go here. Cannot recommend Alta Via enough— it’s worth all the hype and prices.

Had such an amazing Valentines day at Eddie Vs! Ron was amazing as always as our server, food was delicious, and specialty drinks! We really enjoy seeing our Eddie V's family at this restaurant, everyone makes us feel very special. Christine the manager comes to the table always with a happy face to greet us and to make sure everything is so perfect! also Jeremy and Marvin are always our favorites as well!

Service was EXCELLENT, constantly checking up on me and was just overall very friendly. It has a nice interior with a dark red and brown gentleman’s vibe. Unfortunately I started feeling sick from the food shortly after. But otherwise I recommend this place
