“This is our second restaurant on Beach Dr NE, after Parkshore Grill.Definitely will return: it’s better than Parkshore Grill next door.We came here before the opera Turandot. It has a sizable outdoor section that looks out to Tampa Bay, with sofas and regular tables. The indoor decor is tasteful, dominates by a big mural, which was done by artist Annette Gloomis (?). High ceiling, with three exposed fat pipes. Fresh flowers on the tables, handbag hooks under the tables.Allelo is short for Allelomimetic -> allelomimetic behavior.Stems, tableware and utensils are all really good: especially they use smaller spoons for desserts – thank you!We’ve 4 glasses 2021 red from three countries:Portuguese Touriga Nacional Herdade do Rocim: smooth, the best of the threeFrench Syrah Domaine Faillenc St Marie Corbières: okSpanish Garnacha Camino de Navaherrero Bernabeleva: too dryThe asparagus (sunflower, aleppo, pecorino butter) is yummy. The sauce is light and lively. Too bad we weren’t hungry after the big lunch at Terra Gaucha.We’re able, however, to squeeze in a piece of tiramisu – it’s to die for, with prominent dark rum taste; and I love the coarse texture – I don’t like my food being massaged too much. The cake is made in the house.I like the wall paper in their bathroom too -:)“
“I am always on the lookout for a delicious paella, and I can confidently say that this place serves the best paella I have ever tried in the St. Pete/Tampa area. Every bite was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The tapas we ordered were absolutely delightful! We savored each dish to the last bite and found them all to be incredibly tasty. Without a doubt, we will be returning to try other dishes on the menu. Highly recommended!“
“We tried the place after a friend recommended. The concept is cool. great wine selection and cool to try several tastes. Flights of wines by type, region, and type. (full body reds) Service was quick and cordial. We had some charcuterie and a sourdough pizza, and we got to meet the manager and the owner while walking around. Everything was great. We'll be back.“
“We sat at the bar and Jason took care of us. It was excellent service and really a great time. Unfortunately the $65 massive steak came out so undercooked it was basically trash. It had already been sliced, so clearly the "chef" didn't have enough experience to know by looking at it or touching it the temp was off.... And there's no way to really put it back together again and get a sear on it once it's sliced, although they offered... the only solution was to cook another steak, which was never offered as an option“

“So lucky to get a table last night after just rocking up. We loved this place. We had the whipped feta, mushroom risotto, and a cheese plate. Roland, our waiter, gave great service - wish we had someone like him in England. Highly recommended.“
