Altavilla Pizza and Trattoria — Restaurant in Florida

This is an unfortunate experience, we had never been to this restaurant, my husband had been told the food was great. We tried to make a reservation but they would not for 2 people which is fine. We went there early and asked to sit at a table because both of us have chronic pain and back issues from surgeries, where a booth just doesn’t work for us. We were told we could NOT have a table because those were saved for 4 people not 2, we asked to sit at the bar but there was no service there. I don’t know why they needed 3 people standing outside at the podium and yet nobody was working the bar? The hostess told us she had reservations for all the 4 top tables, fine we sat, we ate, food was great and yet still nobody ever came to fill all those empty 4 top tables? When we left I asked the hostess where the reservation people were, she said, well USUALLY we fill those tables... ? So they didn’t have any reservations and yet two older individuals were not allowed to be comfortable while we had our dinner? I could completely understand if they really had people coming for those tables but to just be so arrogant towards others that only ask for comfort as we ate seemed ridiculous? As we walked out I mentioned to the 3 people still all alone outside that I will not return regardless of the food quality or the waiters great service it was their attitude that made us feel irrelevant or worthless and they snickered and laughed at my comment. How unfortunate that they don't see how important compassion is today? Or what the definition of hospitality is ? There are far too many other choices in this area that will appreciate our repeat business but most of...

I ordered from here for my best friends graduation and the food was phenomenal! I ordered chicken fracese and asked for the chicken to be pounded thin. It was the best chicken francese I have ever had and that is my favorite Italian dish. Not only was the flavor amazing and it as thin as I have ever seen but the chicken was cooked to perfection. The meatballs were perfect, the best I have ever had and I am not a huge meatball fan. The manicotti which was not on the Catering menu, but they made at my request, was the best manicotti I have ever had. Literally 3 out of the 4 trays of food I got catered were the best I have ever had. The only dish that wasn’t UNBELIEVABLE was the baked ziti, but it wasn’t bad either. The service was great! I ordered from Jessie who also delivered my food super hot right on time and threw in a complimentary bottle of wine. I am from NY and have had a lot of good/great Italian food in my life, and I’m pretty picky, so for this restaurant to have WOWed me the way that they did is impressive! I have also never written a review before but if anyone deserved it, it was this place! Thank you Altavilla Pizza! Can’t wait to order again! Almost forget that also had Very...

Please, Please, Please pay attention to this review.

I am a native New Yorker, who just moved here 1-year ago. No disrespect Naples, but the food here was to die for, literally! I have never had so much awful Italian food in my life! From the place who named themselves after where I'm from to ALL the places I was told to go. They're all terrible choices, because they produce TERRIBLE food!

I am telling you, right here & right now, that Altavilla is as close as you can get to authentic and delicious Italian food! I would even go so far to say that they rival even some of the greatest NY restaurants and then some.

I am a foodie, through and through and Altavilla makes great veal dishes, amazing eggplant dishes, tremendous pizza and even the chicken fingers & fries are amazing. They are quality-based & the most important piece to all, is they are CONSISTENT!

Altavilla is hands down, the undisputed champs in Italian cuisine and I'd be happy to speak to anyone who wants to hear it from my lips.

I don't know the owners, am not being paid to endorse them and they probably won't see this review. They always do right by my family and I am now a loyal Altavilla patron, for...
