Altura is worth saving up for even if you don’t have someone to treat you, but it is especially well suited if you do. Here’s my logic: Altura specializes in being attentive. From its inventive yet classic Italian food timed to the seasons to its well-curated and executed cocktail list and intimate atmosphere, the whole experience is elegant, smooth, and well-rehearsed. If I am with someone who really wants to treat me—like parents or a fourth date—I want to go to a place that’s both an event in itself and an unobtrusive backdrop for us to share a good time. A place that warrants a $93 chef’s tasting menu (add $75 for wine pairings). At Altura, you can have a great meal and a great conversation—and if conversation ever flags, you can always talk about the food.
