Delicious food, impressive covered outdoor area that’s well-insulated and thoughtfully designed (it feels like you’re inside the restaurant and we preferred it over the actual indoor area), and friendly and knowledgeable service! Portions are small and prices are high, but it was great quality and worthwhile overall. Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!

It was loud in there but it was a happy sound of laughter and family time. Not big portions but great food. The service could improve by not forgetting our butter and knives. Also, explaining the menu items with more detail. I’ve been here a few times and other servers explain everything that’s in a meal and dessert. Very helpful for new guests, which I brought.

We had a perfect experience at Allora for Christmas Eve dinner. It was our first time here (we recently moved to Sac from the Bay Area), and we definitely will return. Well thought out menu, creative and accessible presentations, and stellar ingredients. The front of the house team was friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Allora and we are so pleased that we found it.
