First time in this place and I guess the last one. They don't have parking. You have to park on the street and pay at the meter. Street parking is very limited, just about five or six cars in that block. There is a parking structure in that block for other business but interesting to read that is not for restaurant customers. Yes, wtf. Service is really bad. They had only one person taking care of the customers, orders and serving the food. So expect to wait a lot to get attended and served. Food was so so. Not bad but not to throw fireworks either. I read the menu online and they also provide you with a QR code on the table to read it. Then I got the paper menu to find out some of the items online does not match the paper menu. As an example, online they have eggs, bacon, ham and pancakes. On the paper menu there is no ham on that selection. I told the server and she said what is valid is the paper menu. So why do they offer you to scan the QR code if the online menu is not updated? They have to clean the dust on chairs and tables. I guess most of the customers are taking orders out.

Recently, Allegra and her team at Allegra California Cafe catered our wedding… And holy moly, what a wonderful experience with an immensely professional team. I didn’t think a restaurant would cater our wedding, but my mom had the great idea to just call and ask. And they said yes! They were so amazing to work with (there was a lot of indecision on my end and they handled me with patience and grace) and they really did a fantastic job on site; everyone complemented our food. And we took home leftovers that our family happily ate for days. They were also budget friendly: hands-down the most delicious bang for our buck (and I must’ve gotten at least 3 dozen quotes). Ours was a buffet meal because my venue didn’t have the kitchen space for a plated meal, but they can do plated meals. They didn’t have what we wanted on their menu but they went ahead and made it for us! And they have dessert options for anyone looking to get it all done in one place. I cannot recommend Allegra and her team enough, I hope some of y’all will try them out.

If you are looking for a cater for your wedding, look no further! Allegra catered my wedding in June and did not disappoint. Their food was phenomenal! I got so many compliments from my guests on the quality. My husband and I sampled other restaurants and Allegra’s was by far the best. They were extremely accommodating to our needs. Allegra worked with us to create a reasonable budget that allowed us to serve 100 guests high quality food. I would highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.

Searched for a place rather last minute for Sunday brunch (falling on Mother's Day) and scored back patio seating which was nicely spaced from other tables. Food = 3.5, Service = 5 (cheery & friendly), Value for $ = 4, Ambience = 4 (back patio) The green juice was very refreshing and the sweet potato fries were addictive. The Benedicts and green eggs and ham shared the problematic overcooked poached egg (sigh).

Delicious! We were looking for a place for a late lunch and lucked out when I found this restaurant on Google! We walked in at 2:30 p.m., and Mario couldn’t have been more welcoming. . Make sure you sit on the back patio. It’s absolutely charming. Loved our gnocchi in pesto & rigatoni diavolo.

Food was nothing to write home about. I got the lasagna and it was honestly kinda flavorless. I took some salmon off my moms plate and it was honestly p good. Cute little back area they got a bunch of umbrellas. I forgot to take a picture but it wasn’t super dirty or anything. But it was pretty pricey given its flavor. The staff was great tho, everyone was super nice and attentive. That said… I wouldn’t go back. Mid but not good enough mid to make me want to go again.

I was looking for an affordable Valentine's Day dinner and came across "Allegra". OMG! It was a great pick. Food was awesome, service was great, and everything new. The restaurant is in business for about 5 months (Feb 2020 now). A small restaurant but they have a Patio in the back. It's also very nice and friendly. It's perfect for summer days. I am going back (although I live in T.O.). Thank you.

Hosted my daughter's birthday lunch here, after Escape Room down the block, and Allegra could not have been more enjoyable! Not only the pleasant atmosphere (patio) was ideal, but also the food and service. Mario was very accommodating. The food standouts were: Garlic fries Sweet potato fries Shrimp burger (actual pieces of large shrimp!) Fig and ricotta toast (bread here is ) Chicken and waffles Passion fruit mousse I needed last minute desserts and Mario was kind enough to offer me a dessert platter for the table, which was perfect! There was homemade tiramisu, chocolate cake and cheesecake. All three were perfection, and presented beautifully. Thanks for accommodating our 11-person party for 3.5 hours, Allegra!

First time here and very impressed ! I went with a house recommendation of the Linguini Del Mar and it was delicious ! Service was on point and my order was prepped very quickly ! Parking was easy and the restroom was very clean - next time I'll try and sit down rather than get the order to go due to the cozy atmosphere of the dining room :))

This restaurant is on a busy street and street parking can be challenging. I made reservations for six on a Sunday evening. We were greeted and seated immediately. We chose to dine indoors, but they do have an outdoor patio in the rear. The servers were attentive and kind. We ordered a Caesar salad, calamari, pepperoni pizza, and stuffed mushrooms. The calamari and stuffed mushrooms were my favorite. We also ordered cioppino, lasagna, and spaghetti bolognese. All were good. I also ordered the tiramisu and it was tasty.

Allegra service and food had declined. The last time I ordered fish for delivery I got food poisoning. Allegra is now permanently closed.

We stopped for an early dinner before a concert at the Kia Forum on Sunday afternoon about 5pm. The group I was with have dined here several times before and was told that everything is good. We were seated right away in the back patio area. Several early dinner diners already eating. I asked for suggestions of their best dishes and the waitress kindly gave us a few recommendations. Our group of 6 shared an order of the Calamari Fritti which were delicious! We ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad, a Pollo Verde Pizza, and Rigatoni Allegra to share among 3 of us. All 3 dishes were good but I really liked the creamy teriyaki flavor of the Rigatoni Allegra. It is savory and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this dish! I Hope to go back to try other dishes!

I've passed by this place so many times. I was in the area so I had to try it. I ordered the breakfast burrito. For the most part it tasted like it was of decent quality but for me it was too much sour cream, and not enough sausage. The sausage was very small pieces so you could barely taste it since it just blended in. In addition, I thought I could use a little bit more flavor, possibly some pico de gallo. As a result of the excess sour cream it was kind of messy and drippy. When I ordered, the server should've asked me what kind of salsa I would like. Because when I came out, there was no salsa and it was definitely needed it. Everyone that works was nice and friendly and the place was clean including the bathroom. I will give them another try but I will probably get something else.

Service was extremely slow. One of friends order which was French toast and eggs didn't come until 30 minutes until after our whole table was already eating . She still had to wait for eggs when they brought the french toast.

The food was delicious; though the Long Island Iced Tea was more like lemonade. The service was awful as I literally received my food 45 minutes from the time I ordered and I waited ten minutes before I had to go find the waitress. I was asked if I wanted bread when my food was brought to me which I find odd. The ambiance wasn't what I was expecting. I won't be returning here ever again. I gave three stars as I really enjoyed my salad - I ate all of; which is rare for me.

Ambiance: the restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining area, and the patio is surrounded with so many colorful umbrellas on the roof Service: very patient with questions and provided useful suggestions Food & Drink: variety choices on their breakfast and lunch and dinner menu The Carnivore - *** Bacon, sausage, & ham topped with cheddar cheese, served with baked potatoes, rich in flavors Cioppino - ***** Clams, mussels, shrimp, salmon, white fish, scallops & calamari in a tomato white wine garlic broth served with grilled crostini, the tomato sauce was so good with bread, highly recommend Lavazza Coffee - *** average taste Price: decent portions and great quality, about $30 per person for a fulfilling meal

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Allegra California Cafe, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. Their $15 lunch deal is a real steal! It includes a beverage with refills, a choice of soup or salad, and a delectable main course. What more could you ask for at that price? The portions are generous, and you're sure to get your money's worth. I had the Spaghetti Bosco, and it was a delightful surprise. Is it the best spaghetti you'll ever have? Probably not, but for a $15 lunch, it was better than good - it was great! The flavors were on point, and the portion left me completely satisfied. Would not recommend the chicken parm sandwich. Someone in my party ordered that and let's just say that she was eyeing our dishes the entire time Atmosphere: Allegra is the kind of place you visit when you want a comfortable and homey atmosphere. It's not your typical first-date spot, but it's perfect for a cozy, casual meal. The patio was cute, highly recommend sitting outside/ in the back. Street parking is available, which is a plus in this part of town. It's convenient and hassle-free. I think I'll definitely come back next DineLa for this deal again

The reviews looked good, but I felt lwt down. The initial flavors of the food were tasty, but soon, they gave way to reveal a lack of freshness. I personally love pink sauce and ordered the gnocci, as it was the obly item on the menu offering it. It ended up being too thick, salty, and cheesy, more than it should be. It was pretty empty when we went, but the host took time to chat with his customers. The pictures in Yelp make it look nicer than it is on the inside. It wasn't bad, but it wouldn't hurt to have a small overhaul All in all, it wasn't a bad experience, but I most likely won't come back or recommend it.

We stopped in for a weekday lunch and took a seat in the back patio and appreciated the cute decor. We ordered the mac and cheese, burger, and fettuccine del mare.. but considering we were the only table there, I was a bit disappointed in how long it took for us to get the meal. When we received the mac 20 minutes later, it did have a nice crust to it but the pasta underneath was a bit bland and the sauce a bit too watery. I had been craving pasta so was excited to finally dig in to the fettuccine with all the different seafoods thrown in. The sauce turned out to be fine but some of my mussels had a weird taste as if almost going bad and made me a bit nervous finishing the dish. I don't know if it was an off day but I think between the wait and the quality, not sure if I would return.

Great find! During pandemic, when we walked miles and miles in our neighborhood, we always passed by this place but never thought of trying it. Today, we got to try it because our friends invited us to celebrate my wife's bday. HIDDEN GEM, yes these are my two words to describe Allegra Cafe. Everything we ordered was on point. Sole fish is the favorite but everything else was delicious! We will definite come back. Food is awesome and so is their service!

I have been coming to Allegra for years, and it's truly a westside gem. I've gotten something different almost every time, dined inside and on the (dog friendly!) beautiful, colorful umbrella covered (look up, it's like a tapestry!) patio in back, gotten takeout, and delivery. I recently got the lasagna, which I don't recall from any of my previous visits. Absolutely fantastic, just like homemade. Even though I try to mix it up, I have to admit I've had the steak salad here at least 4 times. I've done DineLA here twice and was very impressed. If you want a cozy, charming, delicious place to take friends, family, a date, or just to indulge yourself, this place can't be beat.

Allegra is a great place to dine. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and all of it is calm and welcoming. The service is the best. They know the menu well and can help you. They have a great selection from waffles, egg dishes, to the best pasta you will find on the Westside. We especially love their grilled salmon and have had that more than once for dinner. Their stuffed mushrooms are some of the best I have ever had. There is not one bad thing on the menu and we have been there about 5 times. You will love it.

Fantastic! We are here for the second time because we had a good experience the first time. Last time, we had stuffed mushrooms and cioppino, which were wonderful. We came back to review our first visit, and we are happy to confirm the excellent food served in this place. We are having Mussels from their Happy Hour menu and steak, which comes with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked as requested. This is our favorite place and we definitely come back!

My Uncle and I came here for a quick lunch. I had it bookmarked on Yelp for a while, so I was excited to try. The restaurant is located on a busy street, and you have to find street parking. The servers were nice and quick, but the food was just good. I can't say it exceeded my expectations unfortunately. The outdoor area is cute, but I think they need music out there or something. The ambiance was a bit awkward because it was so quiet and there were only a couple tables there at the time. Overall, I thought the food and ambiance were okay/good, but it didn't leave me dying to come back anytime soon.

The Shrimp Fettuccine, spiced up with extra of the creamy super delicious sauce is my favorite. The Creme Brulee taste just like my friends grandmother, who has lived in Italy all of her life! Now, the service...ya'll...they made me feel so cared for that I caught to "warm-and-fuzzies!!" For you, I do hope you make it to Allegra Café, and when you do let them know that this Yelp review was written with the warm-and-fuzzy feeling that all of them planted on top of my taste-buds, and in my Heart!!

This place is ok. I feel like it's more 2.5 stars but rounded to three. I came here for brunch. They have a decent size patio area with cute decorations out back. They are dog friendly. If you have a dog you should enter in the back via the gate. They also have some outdoor seating in the front of the restaurant but when we went it looks like most people sat in the back. We got the chilaquiles and the huevo ranchero. It was a bit disappointing :(. It came out lukewarm and the food was ok. I feel like both dishes were pretty much the same, just one had chips. It wasn't the traditional dishes I had in mind which is probably why it threw me off a bit. In the end, service was ok and the food was average but I think I would try more places nearby. Check in on Yelp for a free strawberry lemonade.

Wow, without warning ... CLOSED. I was there three weeks ago. Before that time, I'd been placing weekly (occasionally, bi-weekly) orders, via both their Allegra California Cafe and Culver Cafe menus, for three months. I just hadn't been in the area over the past few weeks, but was craving a good Shrimp Burger, Passionfruit Mousse and Strawberry Lemonade. Sad to see them go. Wish they had notified me the last time I was in (I typically order for pick-up). Had I known, I would have made a special trip or two before they closed.

Rating: 4.5 Stars! Yelp Check In Promo: Check in and get free coffee or a strawberry lemonade. Don't know about the strawberry lemonade, but the coffee came with free refills! Cafe Offerings: A variety of californian italian brunch, lunch, and dinner items. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restrooms: Yep, they certainly do! Location/Parking: Located across the street from 7 eleven. Meter parking can be found along Sepulveda Blvd. or in the surrounding neighborhood streets. Ambiance/Decor: A hidden gem with a chill ambiance with some modern furnishings inside the shop and in their two outdoor patios. Check out the back patio! They have an umbrella sky! Service: Service was great! Kristin and Rafi did a great job in tending to our wants and needs. They were also knowledgeable about their menu. Food Of Choice: 1) Cioppino ($22)- Consisted of clams, mussels, shrimp, salmon, white fish, scallops & calamari in a tomato white wine garlic broth served with grilled crostini. Seafood was fresh and loved the broth. Wasn't salty and had great flavor. The crostini had this this garlic spread that was quite delicious. 2) Chilaquiles ($14)- Consisted of tortilla chips sautéed in a mild tomato salsa topped with onion, jack cheese, sour cream & eggs any style (poached) served with black beans. Loved it! Thought the chicken ($4 add on) was alright. It was a bit dry and was rather thin and grilled. Thought it would've been great if they would cut it into smaller pieces. I guess pickers can't be choosers. 3) Mac and cheese with herb breadcrumbs ($14)- Love the mac and cheese! Was pleased to see that it wasn't watery. Loved the crunchy texture of the breaded crumbs. Bean Program: Lavazza coffee beans. I've had their coffee beans before and thought it was quite smooth. Food For Thought: Had a great experience and wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on their menu.

My friends and I tried this cute spot through Dine LA, so we tried the whole menu. Street parking is available, and the back dining area is decorated with colorful umbrellas, very cute! It seemed like only one man was hosting and serving, and he provided amazing service. Very quick and friendly. Lobster Bisque: very tasty, I enjoyed this a lot Red Beet Carpaccio: did not know what a red beet carpaccio would be, but it wasn't that good. We didn't finish it but maybe it just wasn't our thing? Lobster Ravioli: really good, big portion of seafood, creamy sauce Chicken Marsala: yummy sauce and tender chicken, but the veggies were boring Espresso Bean Creme Brûlée: very nice! You can definitely taste the espresso bean Nutella Cheesecake: great for a couple bites but couldn't finish Overall, pretty good, but worth $45? Not sure

I looked for a calm, tasty breakfast near the airport to have a good chat with my friend from overseas. Saw this place in Yelp & it did not make us disappointed! We arrived with only a few people sitting indoors around 9am on a Wednesday. It was quiet & clean & we chose to sit inside as it was still chilly out there. We love smoked salmon & we both ordered it with avocado toast & egg benedict respectively. They are very tasty, even the roasted potatoes & fruit were excellent. Of course we went out & took some photos of the umbrella patio. Wish I could live in that area so that I could come often to try more dishes, especially the Italian dinner diDefinitely will visit again if I come to that area.

Been here only once. The pasta is SUPERB. Definitely a hidden gem in the Los Angeles County area. I tried the Spaghetti Tacchino dish. It's a rich meat sauce and it's a big portion, enough for 2 meals or to split with someone. Highly recommended Italian food if you're nearby or in Culver City.

I was pleasantly surprised by this cafe! I really like the back patio, with the colorful umbrellas hanging overhead. It's not a fancy place at all but rather a cute cafe with good food. I plan to go back and try several plates that caught my eye. The chilaquiles are very delicioso they're crispy, medium spice, served with or without egg and a side of black beans. The service is good. They're friendly, attentive, and the food is out in a timely manner.

What a gem! I hadn't noticed this place when I've passed by, but when I was looking online for a nice lunch spot with table service, this came up. Wow, they did not disappoint!! Such a nice back patio and big menu with great variety. Our entrees came out beautifully presented and hot. Generous portions. I had the sole and my companion had the cioppino. We both loved our dishes! An unexpected delight with a comfortable, yet elegant atmosphere. Will definitely return!!

Been here for both a lunch/dinner menu and a weekend brunch as well. Recent visit was for the brunch, it wasn't anything mind blowing or anything. Came with a group of 3 with each of us ordering a different thing, and everyone's response was "ehh." Service was average, not too great and not too bad either, bit inconsistent if anything. I got the chilaquiles and it was alright. A bit too saucy in my opinion. I also asked for my eggs over medium but it was a little too runny. The carnivore omelet was a basic bacon, sausage and egg plate and the chicken and waffles came with chicken tenders, which we were not a fan of, maybe that should be written on the menu so we won't be surprised? I do prefer their lunch menu, I've had the Rigatoni Allegra before and that was just delightful, and the reason for the 3 stars instead of 2. Don't think I'll be back for brunch, but might do lunch again.

Lasagna- 3.5 stars - turkey bolongnes was delicious but could have been cooked more deeply Carnivore omelette- 5 stars Waffle- 1 star was cold, and then the replacement waffle took forever and was also cold. French toast- 4 stars Rosemary potatoes- 3 stars Service- 3 stars - slow but very nice.

The pastas and pizzas are very good. They have a nice outdoor seating area. Today, I placed an online takeout order and requested that no utensils, napkins, or bag be given to me. I've asked other restaurants to do this for me, but Allegra Cafe is the first restaurant that did as I requested. I really appreciate them actually reading the "special instructions" and helping to decrease waste.

What a great little cafe! My child had a birthday party at the Maze Room a block away, and then we all walked over to Allegra afterwards for cake. I called in advance, and Kristen helped me make a reservation on their patio. She brought the cake out with candles and the staff were all so kind and patient. Thank you!

Looking for causal place on way home from LAX after long day of traveling. What a find! Beautifully presented dinner salad with marinated veggies and garlicky chopped tomatoes. Then shared a vegan pizza (not because I'm vegan but because the veggies sounded so good. I'm a sucker for eggplant! Added mozzarella. So delicious. Crust was thin but crunchy. Now I have a new place to stop on way home from airport!

I came here with my brother for an OTM deal B.C. (Before Covid). This place was relatively easy to find and has parking next door if you go up the ramp! Its a little quaint cafe that serves a giant menu! We got the Rigatoni Allegra, which has a mushroom cream sauce with chicken. It was so delicious and creamy, with chunks of chicken and mushroom. It was a HUGE portion. my brother who can usually eat a lot, had to save half for the next day. They also have different hot sauces, such as sriracha and Tapatio that you can get from the counter. My brother and I also shared a coffee. The lady that was working there was super nice. She was very attentive to our table and helped us with picking a coffee to get. My brother asked what was the difference between the medium and large iced coffee and she said just to get the medium since you get free refills! There is creamer and sugar available for use. I will definitely be back! I want to try the rest of their food (:

Breakfast and lunch menus with decent variety and average price, but the quality of ingredients and preparation/seasoning/flavor is lacking. Had the: -smoked salmon avocado toast (which had more arugula than avocado so it was like a salad on top of toast with some fish on top) -smoked salmon Benedict (underwhelming flavor needed pepper or something but the country potatoes were decent). Lastly, the staff felt like they were rushing us out by taking our plates before we were done. Nice eating space outdoors and parking is not bad, but prob would not be back.

Beautiful patio with fun umbrellas hung up for great selfies! Service was excellent and quick, and food suggestions were on point. The stuffed mushrooms were full of good cheesy flavor, the calamari were crisp, and the salmon was divine, loved the briny olives with the acidic tomatoes. Thanks Allegra!

I was SUPER impressed by the service at Allegra Cafe. When I first walked in, my host was super friendly. I really wish I got her name. Got there around noon. Parking was easy to find. The outdoor seating is gorgghh! I ordered the vegan pizza and I was a bit hesitant because it didn't come with cheese. When it came, it was fresh, the crust was warm and perfect and the pizza was AMAZING. It didn't need cheese at all. The flavors were all spot on! I literally want to order another one just writing about it. Maybe they can treat me on my birthday ahahaha wishful thinking. The strawberry lemonade tasted super fresh too. I highly recommend this place and they've just earned a new customer.

My family and I went to this restaurant craving some pasta, we ordered a creamy fettuccine Alfredo, house-made gnocchi was really good, their mushroom ravioli was spectacular (finest ravioli in LA, you cannot find the same plate like that anywhere else!), chicken mushroom rigatoni Allegra (specialty). Though their menu have other non-pasta items, like pizzas, hamburgers, meat, seafood and salads, all in great variety. For dessert we got a Brazilian passion fruit mousse (it's amazing, very soft and not too sweet, you can find it only here!) and a triple chocolate cake. Everything came in big portions, plates were ready in no time, drinks were really good, service was very nice and sympathetic with all customers! We had the pleasure to meet the owner that was greatly friendly. We're already planning to go back to try other great items of their menu. Certainly coming back! Best restaurant of Culver City!

Found this restaurant on Groupon pre-pandemic and finally decided to use it after forever. Groupon was a great deal so we had to give it a shot. The wife really wanted to try the waffles and the juices, but unfortunately our schedule didn't allow for it to happen. We decided to go for dinner and called ahead. Very easy process calling in and th order only took 20 min so not too bad. We went with a pizza since it seems like people liked it. The Gorgonzola and pear pizza with balsamic was really good in my opinion. We were scared that the crust would be burnt since other yelpers had taken pictures previously, but they seemed to have remedied that problem. The taste it self was great- gorgonzola wasn't too strong but still had that bite. There was a balsamic reduction that helped cut the strong flavors of the cheese and the pear was not mushy or misplaced. Though the crust wasn't burnt, I do wish it spent a little more time in the oven as it just wasnt that crispy. It also came with a side of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette which was nice to dip the pizza in. We also ordered the Rigatoni Allegra. When i read the description, i was not excited, but i just had to order it because everyone else did. I just had to know why it was so popular. After trying it, I can honestly say...not bad. It wasn't mind blowing, but better than I thought. Its like a creamy white wine teriyaki sauce over Rigatoni with small pieces of chicken. Ordering it to go caused all the sauce to go to the bottom, but I can imagine it being mixed pretty well through in an actual serving bowl. It also came with some focaccia bread which was pretty meh. Too thick (like cake) and not airy at all. Overall, decent but not great. Would I come back? Only time will tell...

Flavors - 4 Textures - 3.5 Presentation - 4 Value for money - 4 Would Return? Yes Must-try: Omelet Flavors for the omelet were fantastic 5/5. Perfect balance of seasoning and tangy, salty, sweetness of the tomatoes. Creaminess of the cheese! Very herby. I didn't like that everything was very oily. Cooked well although it could have been more fluffy. Potatoes were very soggy and lacked salt but had nice thyme flavor. Omelet alone would get a 4.5. In the eggs benedic, the hollasaide sauce was very tasty and the perfect silky texture. The eggs were cooked perfectly as well. The salmon had a weird taste, a little fishy. Maybe lack of freshness? The bottom (like every eggs benedict) was tasteless and soggy.

We chose Allegra Cafe's back patio for a post-funeral reception and they knocked it out of the park! The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, & the bright cheerful ambiance was just what we needed! We now have a beautiful memory shared with family & we can't wait to come back to create even more! Thank you Allegra & crew!

Absolutely love this place! My daughter and I love to come here for breakfast after we swim at the YMCA across the street. Our favorite is the French toast with scrambled eggs. It might not sound exciting, but I can appreciate simple things done well. The flavors and textures are perfect--and I don't have to ask for extra butter! The umbrella-ceiling patio in the back is cute and comfy. Most of all, Maria is the most wonderful server and we always love chatting with her! It's never crowded at breakfast, which is partly why I'm finally writing this review. I don't want to it get overrun but, more importantly, I want the business to thrive. Come and discover this local gem.

normally i don't write reviews but i'm going to be honest and admit that my dish wasn't good. it was below average. overall there wasn't any flavoring and it was spicy. i also don't understand why the dish has pico de gallo in it. spice isn't a problem for me but the lack of seasoning and sauce made it unpleasant to eat. (not even joking i ate a few pieces trying to give it a chance but i just put my fork down hoping my dish would magically change.) i got the penne diavolo. for $16 i recommend buying ingredients and making it at home. i would've preferred straight up ragu sauce instead of this. my niece got a mac and cheese off the kids menu and that was surprisingly good. the decor was cute and the patio area was nice response to the business manager: our server didn't come back till later so i didn't get a chance to tell her that i didn't enjoy it. honestly i was too embarrassed to say anything there because the food was already cooked and everyone else had eaten. by the looks of it, it seemed there was only the one server at the time so i don't blame her. it was just disappointing paying $16 for this pasta and not even getting parmesan cheese to top it off

Allegra was super helpful in getting us a catering order on short notice. Food was great, our whole team loved it. Allegra customized a menu for us that fit our budget and dietary needs. Allegra was very personable and was willing to help us get our food to us on time. I would absolutely go back!
