ordered the shrimp tempura and the Super Maryland roll. They have an amazing selection of sushi to chose from. I am a frequent costumer and am always pleased by the great service of the staff. They are all very friendly and I have never had a problem with costumer service since the owners have changed.

Had a soul-affirming shakshuka today after randomly stopping by while exploring the city. The service was warm and friendly, the food was astounding, and even the tidbits of other tables' conversations were fascinating! Please do stop by. It was a grounding gem of a meal in a trip full of airport hotels and sterile spaces. Oooh, and I also had a lovely scone from there that I left later! That plus the bread I had confirmed the high quality of their baked goods.Wheelchair accessibility: It didn't appear to be wheelchair accessible. If you're mobility-impaired but capable of a 4-5 steps, it should be possible.

Food: we got an orange salad (fantastic) and two pastas (they are very much on the salty and oily side, so some people might not like)Service: the restaurant is BYOB, and there are two good wine shops nearby. The restaurant opened the bottle for us and served it, but we were not aware that came with a $20 corkage feeAtmosphere in the restaurant is very nice

This was our second time going and it was a great experience both times! The first time we went we had a reservation for 7:30 and didn't get seated until 8:30. It was a long wait, but there were very few tables in the place. So even though it was a long wait, the food made it worth it. We had the Ariabata and the cacio e pepe because our first choice of the Bolognese had sold out for the night. Nevertheless both were delicious, but if you don't like spice the Ariabata dish is definitely not for you. There was a MAJOR spice factor.For our second visit, we made a 6pm reservation and we were seated at 6pm! The food was food was brought out quickly and the Bolognese and Gratia pastas were top notch. There was great flavor and good portion sizes. We had the Caesar salad for an appetizer and honestly it was plenty to share for two.I really appreciate the vibe. They have great music playing softly in the background and it's a comfortable feeling. It's a great home-y vibe. The tables are pretty closely seated, but it's good enough space to not feel cramped. I really appreciated my experience and will definitely be back for the cacio e pepe, gratia, and/or the Bolognese ?

I come here for the green tea shots and wings. Never fails. I usually bring friends with me and this is our first stop on our bar crawl nights down Charles!

Love this spot! I crave their prosciutto and eggplant panini like once a month and have put so much effort into recreating it.Great sandwiches and the coffee is wonderful!Only complaint is there’s not many chairs (but the building is small so thats a nonstarter). The vibe is somewhere between a cafe and a restaurant

Hi. I never had a problem here until last night.I didn't realize we are in the great depression and businesses are struggling...until last night.I was charged $60 for about $20 worth of food and the kid gave himself an $8 tip. I'm still confused about what that was. I think we are in hard times ..but $60 for the few simple rolls was crazy. Mind blowing to me . I'm sad for these businesses but now they are robbing people . I feel so stupid . I won't go there again.

A perfect lunch on a beautiful winter Saturday. We adored this place. Allora serving deliciousness. Started with Lumpini beans and the Prosciutto Carpaccio. Followed by the yummy Pear & Brie Panini & Prosciutto Panini. Hazelnuts scone with an espresso closed out a delicious lunch at Allora. Already planning to return for dinner to have their pasta. Kiss, Olan

Ate at Allora for the first time a few weeks ago. The space is cozy and we were near the door so it was a bit chilly every time people opened the door; which was frequently because everyone wanted to eat there.All of the food was amazing; I especially loved the prosciutto carpaccio! The pasta and salad were fresh and delicious.I will definitely return again.

TRASH!! Food was tasteless. Sushi was a small portion but I wouldn’t mind if it was tasty. Our server wasn’t enthused but hey whatever. Restaurant was nice and clean. No other complaints
Every dish we had was absolutely amazing! We went to Rome a few years ago and these dishes brought back memories of the unique cuisine. The ingredients were so fresh and the staff were so friendly and warm. BYOB is a plus! We will definitely be back.

Allora - pasta done right. My partner and I ordered Cacio e Pepe and Gricia pastas and they were both perfect. My partner also got a macchiato which was lovely too.We went on a Thursday afternoon and the little restaurant was basically full - we almost didn’t get a table (I’m very glad we did!). Definitely get a reservation in advance if you would like to eat here.

My friend and I were some of the first and last ones in the downstairs bar, late on a cold Saturday night. I only ordered shots that night cause the staff was super busy, but the bartender managed to stay attentive despite the influxes of people! Prior to my photos, there were many other patrons there in groups all chatting and having a great time! We really were just there for that long, haha.Great dive-bar, very clean. The music is often loud, but it also adds to the energy of the night! The owner/manager works really hard running the bar, the restaurant, and the 7-day a week liquor store next door! Aloha has served this neighborhood for many years. It isn't a stuffy cocktail bar, but if you're looking for a place to sit, be served, and enjoy a casual night, this place fits well.

Great drinks and great service! I love visiting Aloha for the daily specials. The vibes are always good downstairs whether it's crowded or not. The bartenders are welcoming and attentive. My go to spot in the neighborhood. J is my favorite bartender!

I ordered the Salmon poke and omg the sauce they used on the salmon is extremely spicy, and I can tell the salmon is not fresh even w the spicy sauce. I had to throw out the rest of the poke cuz it's too spicy I can't finish it and I don't wanna get food poisoning.
