Amazing time tonight at Alto.
The restaurant has somehow an open layout, which leads straight to the hotel common areas. It can be confusing, but it's also pretty cool.
The service was amazing and our server was very attentive and friendly without being overbearing.
For appetizer you MUST try the baked burrata. It's like heaven in a little pot. For entre I had a penne pasta with shrimp and sausage; an interesting combination but good nonetheless. Great sauce and tons of flavor. I was too full for dessert but I've heard their creme brûlée is amazing.
You get validated parking and a free ticket for the gondola ride. Quite relaxing after dinner and the guy even sings for you. It's a short ride, but certainly sweet :)
Overall I had a great experience. The only downside of this place in my opinion, is the fact that despite being an Italian restaurant, they only have four pasta dishes in the menu. Four. So if you're looking for endless pasta options, look elsewhere.
Other than that, it's a nice, classy, good restaurant. I'll be back :)
