went to Cafe Allora with the family and it was a great experience. It feels like a family place and it's small and intimate which is cool. The owner is usually there which gives it an even more local feeling. I had the Spaghetti carbonara. It was very rich and tasty. Most authentic taste I've had in a while. Would def recommend this place!

The atmosphere was very inviting and friendly. Since the inside is intimate, it's a great place to mingle, meet people, spend a romantic night eating Italian, or all of the above. There are 2 stories inside. The upper deck is upper seating and the lower deck is seating w/a small bar and restroom in the corner. With an intimate restaurant comes an intimate menu. The food portions are pretty small, but somehow it manages to fill you up. The wine menu is pretty substantial and offers delicious selections. Great place overall and would recommend to anyone. Although, it may not be conducive for small children.

We ordered a couple anti-pasta plates and three different pasta dishes. The food was relatively simple but tasty. Both the food and the smaller restaurant space and people interaction reminded me of a trattoria in Italy. All was good but I think the spiciness level of the puttanesca was a little high. However, if you like spiciness, you'll get a good hit with this dish!
