"My third review. We eat here A LOT. I 've seen some improvements since my last and I gotta say: this is quickly becoming our absolute favorite in town. We 've started coming here way more because the food has just been really stellar and we also like the staff. Professional and friendly which can be hard to find. While I don 't think I 've ever had my socks knocked off, I also haven 't had a bad experience. One of the things I love about Allegro is that I know I 'm going to have a good meal that comes exactly as described on the menu. Recently we had one experience that could have been bad was handled brilliantly. We were in during restaurant week and it was BUSY. We didn 't mind we 're leisurely diners and will sit over a meal for hours and there were other customers who clearly did. I got the pork off the menu (it 's my current favorite) and it was way underdone. I HATE sending stuff back but I 'm also terrified of rawish pork so I nicely asked the waitress who was helping us if I could get it cooked a little more. No questions, no judgement she whisked it right up and said, Totally. Another waitress saw that I didn 't have a plate and came to check if my meal hadn 't come. I told her I had asked for it to be cooked a little more and she said, Yeah, we don 't want anyone eating raw pork! and when it came back it was perfectly done. Here 's what this says to me: first, they were aware that it was a busy night and that something had gotten out of the kitchen that wasn 't fully cooked. Second, they didn 't balk about it or try to explain/justify/etc. It was just, Hey, this could use a little more time in the oven. Yes it could. And I like that. Sometimes places can be REALLY weird about it. There have been two nights when we 've been there that have been INSANELY busy and the staff just rises to the occasion and gets things done. I 've never seen a staff member complain, never seen anyone be rude to each other, never seen tears or stress. The team works really well together and puts on a great service. Whether you 're in town for a visit or live here this is definitely a great spot for dinner. Personally, I 'd plan a long meal at either the bar at the table, complete with a bottle of wine. But, honestly, even if you just grab a quick bite you 'll be happy you did."

Lauri
Sad to see them leave. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. I had asked a special request and they did it without hesitation.
Laura
Friendly staff. Amazing food. Delicious linguine with shrimp. Love the bread with the garlic oil. Warm spinach salad, also a fav.
Laura
This restaurant is closed. It was good, but owners decided to close their business. Hope another entrepreneur assumes the property. Local Italian would be great. View menu

We had a great meal here. The service was a little slow but we weren't in a rush and there was only 2-3 staff in the front of the house. The food made up for the slow service!
Kate
Always yummy and a nice staff. I love that the menu isn't huge. I didn't take a pic, but our crispy brussels for an appetizer were delicious. Wines were great. See pics of our fettuccine alfredo and linguini with bacon, shrimp and asparagus.

What a delicious dinner we had. I still remember it almost 2 months later. It was our perfect first night out on vacation and my son loved his food. Can't go wrong with yummy Italian. I'd definitely go back here, this is a place to hit up if in the area! View menu

Brought my friend here on a weekend. I ordered my usual pappardelle with mushroom sauce always delicious. My friend opted for linguine with shrimp and asparagus. She loves it and we have left overs. Service was good. Server wearing mask and gloves. Will definitely come back.
Ryan
This is a very romantic space with a good wine selection and well executed dishes. They have some great cocktails as well. The staff is very friendly and approachable, landing them firmly in the impressive but unpretentious territory I always look for in an Italian restaurant.
