Allora

Wowzeers! This was an epic dinner that left a lovely memory for us of Sacramento. Allora is a gem of a restaurant with wonderful details to everything! We showed up early so we sat at the bar and waited for our table. The menu is prefixed only so come hungry!

Everything was soo delightful and you could see the quality and care and thoughtfulness. Our server was outstanding and the ambiance was just the right mood. Easy going not too fancy.

I would highly recommend asking about the dishes before selecting as some come pretty heavy on palate or light and airy. So depending on your mood and tastebud you could be preferring your partner's plate more than yours at times.

Thank you for such a memorable evening.

Food was incredible. This place is a culinary gem in smf. I still have dreams of the beautiful pasta dish that was like a carbonara with truffle shavings- incredible. I chose branzino for main course and it did not disappoint. Dessert was in line with what you would expect at a fine dining establishment. Wine pairings were intriguing and entirely Italian, including a few "I've never heard of that" selections.

Service was on point and appropriate considering this is one of maybe 2 or 3 high end options in town.

The aesthetic is non cluttered and clean, providing an ambiance the fit our business dinner. It would be great for a dinner with friends also, but it didn't seem to be a raucous place.

My husband made a reservation for us here for our anniversary! We were seated immediately upon check in with complimentary champagne and custom menus to celebrate! (I love the attention to detail!)

It's a fixed four course menu and each course has a few choices. We started off with their caviar and their home made chips, and I don't know how or what they put in those chips but they are absolutely amazing! Some key loves for me was the fried quail (super crispy and flavorful), their play on lasagna (so much lighter but full of flavor), their duck breast was to die for, and I loved all their desserts.

Service was amazing, attentive, and top notch! Would definitely come back during a different season to try a new menu! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent experience! My boyfriend and I visited from the East Bay Area and we do not regret it. It was a memorable anniversary dinner! The service was excellent, the interior design inside is eye catching. We were sat outside. I hope that next time we have the chance to check out the ambiance inside. The food was delicious! Unique plates that bring together flavors that make the dish an experience.

Really excellent food and service for this upscale contemporary Italian restaurant. You will not be finding spaghetti here. I believe the pasta is handmade and the quality is excellent. This is the place for your anniversary, your birthday, your celebration. They also personalize the menus if you tell them you're celebrating something. The servers are incredibly attentive and friendly. Their beverage program is great - super unique cocktails, great wine and beer list.

My favorite dish that I always come back to is the pulpo (octopus), it is so good and usually served on a bed of potato "gnocchi". They are little potato pillows that are lightly fried, soo good. Their short rib entree is also usually a winner for me.

While the menu is somewhat pre fixe, you are allowed to mix and match between the four dishes - for example, skip dessert and pick a cheese plate or crudo (raw) plate instead.

What a fantastic experience. We were greeted at the door by the sommelier and the host. We were taken to our table by the host and then almost immediately we had a server taking care of us. The service was amazing, well orchestrated to make sure the dinners were taken care at all time.

The cocktails were elevated, some of the best I have had in Sac. We had the four course meal. All plates were amazing. All of them were flavorful, complex, plentiful, and visually appealing. We did the wine pairing, which was spot on. This was certainly an experience for all the senses. Dessert was amazing and the doughnuts were super soft and well balanced. The decor of the place is elegant.

The patio area is super nice. I was scared about temperature but they have taken care of that so nice that it did not distract from the whole experience. Prices are high, but I think well justified given the experience. Also, we were there for a birthday celebration and they made the experience unique. Overall, a great restaurant with amazing food and excellent service.

Wow, what a top notch place. We came here for an anniversary and they really made us feel special with the custom menus with our names on them!

The have a delightful tasting menu that allows you to really explore the chef's vision. I think this changes often so it's not worth deep diving on the courses we had (Summer menu).

Cocktails are unique and flavorful. We also enjoyed welcome champagne.

Ambiance is top notch, comfortable and intimate seating. Good for groups or dates.

Staff was professional and attentive. Everything you'd expect at a fine dining spot.

You pay for what you get, and what you get is a wonderful, delicious experience.

I didn't have any expectations before coming here but loved my experience. The staff was warm and welcoming and made the experience.

The food had unique twists and flavors. I usually order hamachi, but admittedly, this was my least favorite of the courses. I would try something else next time.

I substituted risotto on the fettuccine dish, and I absolutely loved it. The scallops with the fried mortadella on top was so unique and flavorful. And the semifredo was beautiful and delicate.

The wine was paired very nicely with each course. I enjoyed tasting each wine before the course arrived and then with the course. It's always neat to see how the wine flavor changes with the food.

It's a beautiful restaurant with great food and service.

For our third wedding anniversary dinner, my husband and I made reservations and decided to finally come try Allora. The entire experience was magical from start to finish. We have done fine dining experiences before but everything about our experience here was phenomenal. The staff were extremely kind, engaging, and attentive. They went out of their way to ensure that we had a memorable experience. From the personalized menus to the wonderful ambience, it is a meal I will never forget.

Both my husband and I opted for the five course meal option. We each ordered a different item for each course so that we could share and try a little bit of everything. We also enjoyed their tasty cocktails, and the complementary Prosecco for our celebration. We did add on the additional truffle service with one of our courses to enhance the experience.

The amuse bouche and the palette cleansers were also phenomenal and very much appreciated. Since the kitchen was a little backed up, and it took longer than typical for our antipasti courses, we also appreciated the free wine pairing as compensation.

And finally - the desert! They were in the process of trialing a new dessert item for the menu, and since it was our anniversary, they brought us an additional dessert to give our thoughts and feedback on. Who is going to say no to more dessert?!

This is definitely a special celebratory place, and I cannot wait for the occasion to return.

Came here for a belated Valentine's Day celebration. Service was top notch from the time we walked in! Hostess was friendly and attentive. Our table was a little behind in turning over from the previous guests, so we were invited to sit at the bar and order a cocktail while we waited. Bartenders were very friendly and engaging.

We got to sit at the "chef's counter" table...it's not the traditional chef's counter you would expect so I do feel like they should use a different name, but it was fun having a view into the kitchen. Cocktails were amazing...we normally would have gone with a bottle of wine but it just wasn't striking us that night so we stuck with cocktails... the sommelier was very friendly and informative though!

Our food was excellent from the beginning! We did order an extra course, some oysters to share, which kind of threw off how our courses were brought out to us at first but it was quickly corrected. My favorites of the night were the lasagna and duck. I could have eaten 4 servings of both it was so good!! That being said, Each course was a reasonable size. We left feeling satisfied; not still hungry but not so stuffed we were uncomfortable. This was our first time dining here post-pandemic and we would definitely go back for a special occasion. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel special and taken care of, which was fantastic
