    We have dined at Via Allegro 3 times over the past month as well as many times in the past. The food is always spectacular, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is USUALLY impeccable. Unfortunately on Sunday, the service left a lot to be desired. When we were seated, we were informed that we wouldn’t have one server but we would be served by any server who was available at the time. That would have been fine but unfortunately that’s where the dining experience fell apart. We ordered drinks which came promptly, then we ordered our food. We ordered appetizers and our mains but we also ordered 2 pizzas to take home at the end of the meal and informed our server that we would not be ordering dessert. Our appetizers came promptly and we were offered fresh cracked pepper as per usual. Once we finished our appetizers, our mains came soon after but once they arrived, we waited for fresh cracked pepper and parmesan cheese. After about 5 minutes we asked a passing server for pepper and Parmesan. He brought the pepper mill and left again. We asked a second time for Parmesan and we’re told he was trying to find it! It took him another few minutes to find the Parmesan, meanwhile our meals were getting cold. We eventually got the Parmesan and we’re able to finish our mains. Once we finished, we asked for the bill and the pizzas but the pizzas hadn’t even been started. We had to wait an additional 20 minutes for the pizzas and then we had to ask another server for the bill. This is incredibly uncharacteristic of Via Allegro but it was very disappointing. Aside from the incredible food, we go to Via Allegro for the excellent and attentive service. The service really fell apart on Sunday. When we were there earlier this month, we were served by Boris and he was incredible! He was the most attentive server we have ever had, he spent time chatting with us and making a personal connection which made us feel like we were “family”. This is what we expected.

    Food was pretty good. Risotto very good. Bolognese wasn’t the best, very sour cheese cake/passion fruit. Had a birthday special occasion, requested a candle for dessert. Didn’t receive. Was pretty disappointed, for the price we paid and what I tipped, that we couldn’t get any of my requests made. The one hostess did ask who’s birthday it was, and said happy birthday to my girlfriend which was very nice. But a candle of some sort would have been nice. I’ve seen in previous pictures of candles, so it isn’t like it’s unheard of

    What a wonderful surprise. Travelling on business and looking for something up-scale for a client meeting, I thought I would try Via Allegro based on reviews. Absolutely everything was beyond expectations; mine, my colleague's and my client's. I highly recommend Via Allegro for those special occasions where you want to treat your client, your spouse, your friends and even yourself. The only thing I didn't try was the wine bible; a monstrous tome beyond my level of expertise. We let our waiter suggest a nice wine offer instead and it was spot on.

    Celebrating a special birthday deserves a special restaurant like this. Service and food make the mark of an excellent restaurant and Via Allegro was number 1 in both aspects. Our servers today were thoughtful helpful friendly patient and knowledgeable. The food was beautiful to look at and a delight to eat. But it was also all the little things that they did like the sorbetto between primi and secondo dishes, the celebratory lemonecello and slivers of “thank pistachio fudge”. Was it expensive? Considering todays economic situation. Maybe ? But everything is expensive these days. It’s a fine dining experience that you won’t forget. Highly recommend for a special occasion or to share with someone special. Thank you to the staff at Via Allegro for a wonderful day.

    This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very nice and the staff was so nice and helpful. The service was excellent.
