Altura | Capitol Hill's Refined Italian Dining Experience 🍝✨
Our recent visit to Altura (617 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102) offered a taste of Capitol Hill's sophisticated dining scene. Here's our honest review of this tasting menu-only Italian restaurant: 📍 Location & Vibe: Altura, Seattle, WA (Tucked away on Broadway's vibrant strip - easy to find but feels like a hidden gem) 💫 Dining Experience Highlights: 🍽️ The Tasting Menu ($175): • 8-course culinary journey through Italy's regions • Impeccable pacing between courses • Service strikes perfect balance between attentive and unobtrusive 🎨 Plating Aesthetics: • Visually stunning presentations • Thoughtful color combinations and textures • Hand-selected ceramic plates enhance each dish • Instagram-worthy without sacrificing flavor 👅 Flavor Profile: • Fresh, high-quality ingredients • Precise technique in execution • Solid execution but lacked memorable "wow" moments 🍷 Wine Pairing (Current State): • Limited selection (6-7 options on current list) • Fewer pairing choices than expected • Website shows recent updates - hopefully expanding soon! 💡 Ambiance & Service: • Warm, inviting atmosphere • Relaxed dress code (business casual recommended) • Service professional but not stuffy #SeattleItalianDining #AlturaReview #CapitolHillEats #FineDiningSeattle #TastingMenuAdventure #ItalianCuisine #SeattleRestaurantScene #FoodieFindings #DiningOut #RestaurantWeek
