Review:

Helmed by a husband-and-wife team, Altura (which in Italian means both “height” and “profound depth”) is a modest, cozy spot on North Broadway that serves stunning seasonal Italian cuisine. Hailing from the private dining club The Ruins, chef and owner Nathan Lockwood brings his penchant for rococo decadence to Altura – complete with an angel hanging from the rafters – to make diners feel like they are in another world. In addition to the decadent décor and excellent service, the cuisine is just as spectacular, with Northwest seasonal ingredients gone Italian rustic to create dishes such as Ellensburg lamb rack with braised neck, Salish Sea halibut, and Muscovy duck with crumbled amaretti and caramel-roasted turnip. Diners can assemble multiple courses from the menu or sample the chef’s tasting menu, which features five plates with small bites in between.
