Very nice ambiance & setting. We enjoyed the eggplant rollatini, veal parm, and the Aragosta specialita della casa was excellent! (Chunks of fresh lobster meat, flambéed with cognac and bourbon and returned to its shell bathed with a creamy tomato sauce enhanced with sage and cayenne pepper). Did not like the meatballs.

We've dined there before. It is always outstanding. This time we were in the area for a family funeral. The party was large,14 people. I made a reservation on my account for 6. My nephew made a reservation for 8 on his account. The restaurant noticed the same last name, called and asked if we would like to be seated together. I. Said yes and they accommodated us in a side room. The service was fantastic. Their kindness in seating us together was thoughtful. A great spot.

This is truly a hidden gem! Located just off Madison Avenue in a historic home in Madison, NJ, it has been converted into a beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is excellent and the various seating areas provide for either a quiet conversation friendly atmosphere or an informal meeting place for small groups. The service is outstanding, as is the Italian food prepared freshly by the chef. All of the dishes that we have tried over several visits have been excellent, tasty and attractively presented. It has full bar service and a very good wine list to accompany the meal. We look forward to our next visit, for surely we'll return!

The restaurant itself is charming but the food was a disappointment. It was definitely not authentic Italian cuisine and the dishes lacked flavor, the portions were small and the menu descriptions did not match the actual food. I would not return.

The first time I ate here was for lunch. It was absolutely fabulous. Decided to go for dinner and was highly disappointed. As my appetizer, I had clams with sausage. Omg, the clams were so small. I never had them black and that little. Why not do little necks? My friend had figs; she said they were good. We shared a stuffed pasta dish, which was good. For my dinner, I had stuffed flounder, which I felt was not fresh. The dessert was a piece of cheesecake that was old, not fresh. Very disappointed and very expensive. There were not many people in the restaurant, but still, we were rushed, with four other tables. Not worth it.
I brought my wife to L'Allegria for our anniversary. The food was very good. We ordered the baby octopus (Fragolini affogati) and shrimps and clams oven baked (Gamberi) appetizers. For the entree, we ordered flounder stuffed with crab meat (Sogliola farcita di Granchio) and the free range drums and thighs in garlic and oil sauce with mushrooms. Everything was flavorful and tasty. The baby octopus was tender and not chewy. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will be back again.
