About this restaurant

Good for groups
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

After 22 years, Paolo Alavian has closed his iconic Soho restaurant "Savore" and replaced it with Altesi Downtown. Altesi Downtown is outpost of Altesi Madison, his Upper East Side townhouse restaurant. Locally sourced seasonal ingredients will be used in traditional Italian dishes, which will be served alongside small plates including Salumi and cheese platter served on cutting boards, panini and pizza from the wood-fired oven. Like its sister concept, Altesi Downtown offers Aperitivo (cocktails served with Hors D'Oeuvres) and A2Go - a lunchbox-style selection of panini, water/soda and small cookies.

Sorry - it was a busy night and maybe we caught them on a bad night. It happens - but the service was just non existent. The food was good, but we won’t be back.

Last minute dinner because flight was delayed. I was a little worried that we were able to get in as most all other places were booked up on a Friday night. Well, no worries here!! food was great, service was attentive. Overall had a great experience and enjoyed the food! Lasagna and Pasta alla Chitarrra were fantastic

The food was okay nothing really special. The wine selection was not that good, ended up drinking a beer. The service was okay. I would say this place is good to go for a quick meal the carbonara was the best to eat.

3 glasses of different wines and they were horrible. If you’re into good wine, this is not the place for you.
