2024/25 Winter Dining & Takeout Guide

ALTO Kitchen & Bar

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Takeaway 

Located in the heart of Panorama's upper village, Alto Kitchen & Bar offers a mouthwatering selection of menu options in a cozy mountainside setting. The crowd favourite here is the pizza but if you look a little deeper, you'll find exciting cuisine with a story steeped in Italian tradition elevated to new heights with modern mountain flair.

Perch yourself bar-side and adore the dance of our pizzaiolo working the Forno Bravo pizza oven for a casual yet captivating meal. For a more intimate experience, take a table by the window and catch a glimpse of the gondola between bites. Our recommendation, gather friends and family and ask for a comfy booth. Whatever your style, Alto is the place to start a new tradition in a nostalgic nook that feels like the table you've been coming to for years.

Beyond pizzas, Alto offers a delicious array of shareables, mains, sweets and now a delicious buffet breakfast. The rotating wine list, creative cocktail menu and local craft beers mean there's always the perfect liquid companion to your culinary caper.
