My boyfriend and I went to Alto for our one year anniversary. It was an excellent choice. The server was extremely attentive, but not overbaring. He really knew his stuff about the food! We decided against the wine because we felt it was extremely overpriced. But they had a very large selection. We received a free dessert for our anniversary. It was very sweet.
My only complaint with the restaurant was that we were hoping for a relatively quiet, romantic atmosphere. It was rather noisy and not as intimate as we hoped. We requested to not be seated near children, and they honored our request. We really appreciated that. However, at the beginning of the meal there were children running around and making noise. Eventually the management got them to go back to their seats and the restaurant manager personally apologized to each table in our area.
The gondola ride after the meal was a great touch. Very romantic. And our gondolier had a great voice. All in all it was a very nice evening. I would definitely recommend it to others!
