Allora exceed our expectations. The staff was warm, attentive and informative. I started with a cocktail, the buttoned up, and it is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Both of our starters were delicious, especially the ahi. We really enjoyed every dish from the lobster fettuccine to the wagyu steak to the scallops. We will be back!

Wonderful time… didn’t feel rushed .. It was busy…. And the waiter asked for our Happy hour Menu….( we did want to order more) but the restaurant was “short of those” and so of course we gave it up…. So, then later we had to ask for the menu…. Otherwise…. All was good

Delicious food, impressive covered outdoor area that’s well-insulated and thoughtfully designed (it feels like you’re inside the restaurant and we preferred it over the actual indoor area), and friendly and knowledgeable service! Portions are small and prices are high, but it was great quality and worthwhile overall. Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!
