Our favorite Italian restaurant . Family owned and operated. Food is incredible and second only to the service. Could easily leaved satisfied by eating the house salad and garlic rolls alone.

PROS: great atmosphere, fireplace , excellent wine , and some of the best marinara around. CON: Prices are high--the same fare can be had for much less money, and it tastes just as good.

Let me say that the staff and management is so accommodating and the service is impeccable! I'm on a specific diet this month and they cooked to my preferences! They're awesome!!

Very delicious, excellent service, nice ambience, vegetarian options . Try the Spaghetti Con Funghi with Marinara as the sauce base- yummy!

Everything is great! We especially love the veal dishes as well as the salad and rolls.

Order the House Salad . Dressing is to die for. Add a Veal Marsala with Pinot Noir or Salsiccia con Pepe with a Malbec wine . Molto Bene! Read more

Have enjoyed Altruda's for many years. Fantastic salad and rolls. Best linguini with white clam sauce . Yum!

Great food but slightly overpriced.

Sauce/gravy's were terrible. Meat and marinara gravy tastes if someone dumped an entire jar of oregano in it.

The best of anything Italian and garlic !

Calamari was decent but needs more tenticles.
