It was a delicious dinner and the waitstaff, including our main server Danielle, were all wonderful and very attentive. We came to celebrate a birthday, and it was a very enjoyable night! The fettuccine with brioche and the conserva were our favorites!

For a $600 dollar meal for 2 - several steps of service were missed. Tepid food, long periods without a course, and the wrong course being brought out which showed an error in the steps of service. Despite notating on the reservation , and telling our server 3 times we needed to leave before 8, we had to rush through the last 3 courses and ask our server to bring the desserts once he dropped entrees in order to leave on time. This made the experience disappointing and unenjoyable. We were there for 2.5 hours - arrived at 5:30 and didn’t leave till 8 after rushing. Food was absolutely delicious but for $600 for two - service and food deliverance is expected to be flawless. If someone needs to be out within a 2 hour time frame, it is expected that the server can delegate this efficiently or at least be transparent and cognizant about timing - which wasn’t done at all.

All the food was fantastic. Portions may look small to some of us, but it's just right to make it through the meal without being stuffed. All of the staff were awesome, very friendly and very knowledgeable. Perfect for a special occasion.

This was our fourth visit to Allora, where we have consistently enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance that one would expect from a high-end restaurant. However, this time our experience was subpar due to a noisy family with small children. We requested to be seated in a different section of the restaurant, away from the noise. Allora has a policy published on its website stating that children under 8 are not recommended. It's unclear why they do not enforce this policy, as it is essential for maintaining a high-end dining experience. Not sure we'll be returning for a fifth visit.

Celebrated our anniversary and had surprise custom menus and complimentary Prosecco provided. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful and never intrusive. We appreciated not having loud music and tables crowded together so we could enjoy a conversation over the best dinner we have had in Sacramento in many years. Temperature in the open room was a bit on the cool side even with Prosecco to warm up with, so we kept our jackets on. A bit pricey but impeccable wait staff and complex surprising layers of flavors to each course we selected. We recommend Allora to anyone who is interested in experiencing one of Sacramento's BEST places to eat a special dinner at. (They accommodate dietary restrictions and offer vegan and veg menu)—We didn't ask if they would do gluten free but their chefs are so accomplished I wouldn't be surprised if they did. Overall we were delighted with our experience there!

We were dining for my birthday and the team made it a special event. From having my name and a birthday wish on the menu to the attention to detail on each dish through its display and flavor to the fantastic wine pairings, it was an evening to remember. Thank you!

My husband and I both got the 5 course dinner. Their Old fashioned cocktails set the tone with their house made butter pecan sugar. All courses came out with perfect presentation and excellent flavor. We sat at the counter and both bartenders were excellent company.

If you are like me, then it’s easy to assume how one would think that the food posted in other users reviews would be delicious but for me that was not at all the case. I will give credit to the weight staff and management for taking notice that I was not happily eating my dishes along with the rest of our party. They were very quick to take notice and offered substitutions which I greatly appreciated.

Allora was one of my favorite restaurants in Sacramento. This was not one of their best nights. The service was extremely slow. The table next to ours had their third course and finished before we even got our second course. The octopus (their special dish...one that I usually enjoy) was so tough I could barely cut it. The pasta course was cold and sticky. Clearly below standard. I will be hard pressed to return. Truly disappointed.
The restaurant was beautiful and the staff was amazing, the only downside is I wish they would give additional quantities for tasting menu like the kitchen because I definitely wanted more quantities of some of the courses. Such amazing food and wonderful experience. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a special experience.

First time here and we celebrated our moms 89tb birthday. She loved it and the staff made her feel so special. The food was amazing and service top notch! We will be back.

Loveddd my birthday dinner at Allora. The staff is trained very well and service was incredible throughout. The food was fantastic from start to finish. I highly recommend the oysters, octopus, the Cavatelli or fettuccini pasta and the wagyu entree, bombolini dessert. Delish!!!

As someone who works in bay area fine dining, I thought the service was great, but the food was disappointing . First few appetizers were good, my steak was sous vide for 3 days to practically a mush, it had no texture, and the fish was under seasoned. Desserts were okay. Food definitely looked better than it tasted. 6/10 overall experience.

From when the door opened to leaving the restaurant, every experience was amazing. Every experience interaction, the food. It’s fine wine and dine without the restriction of dressing up or feeling like you don’t fit in.
