Alta Voce is soooo good! This place is doing it right. From the prices, portions, flavors and the space, there are few place that are give you so much for so little. I've been there several times and it has been consistently good. The grilled trout topped with a tomato relish was a refreshing and light entree. Flaky, fresh and delicious. How could I forget my favorite appetizer - Creamy Goat cheese wrapped in bresaola,consummated by a drizzle of white truffle oil. Fantastic! Penne Pomodoro - the dish by which all Italian restaurant must be judged. Theirs is a perfect score - tangy fresh tomato sauce with chunks of tomato, fresh basil and just the right touch of garlic. The soft polenta was a nice change from the firmer grilled types I've had. I sensed a touch of saffron which was nice with the flavorful corn. The baked clams were briny and crisp. I loved the lemony broth they drizzled over it. The space is a place to never want to leave. The background jazz or the live piano lend an air of sophistication that few places in the area have, and none in NY a this price point. The staff is attentive with out being over bearing and very friendly. On all Points - a Ten!\r
