Found the food to be bland and although the restaurant was not busy at the time I ate, the noise coming from some of the staff was extremely loud. Service reasonable although I had to ask for the bill a few times.

Our waiter scammed us with ridiculous up charges for appetizers and sides. Ordered us a pasta and a lamb course that I didn't approve of ordering and let a non English speaking person order a porterhouse steak for 2 ($150) when she was only 1 person. After complaining he took some of it off the bill but was a sheister about the whole thing.

We tried for the name(inside joke) and loved it for the food a service! We went to celebrate my birthday and had a fabulous meal with friendly service. Our waiters Col and Sebastian were very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the baked clams, homemade pesto gnocchi and veal Marsala. The homemade limoncello was awesome. Thanks for making my night special!

A Hidden Gem in Midtown .
Allora is an absolute treasure for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality, an elegant yet cozy ambiance, and an air of sophistication that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. My partner and I have been coming here for about 2 years now and we will always denominate Allora as our favorite Italian spot in Manhattan.
The menu is a perfect balance of classic Italian flavors and modern culinary artistry. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that shine in every bite. The pasta is undoubtedly a standout—perfectly al dente, rich in flavor, and made with precision. The seafood dishes are exquisite, and the wine selection is extensive, ensuring the perfect pairing for any meal. My partner is always pleased with their seafood dishes and I’m always amazed with the quality of the pasta.
The service at Allora is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making each guest’s experience memorable. Allora always provides us with the best experience in every way. Frank is one of a kind and his attention is always top.
If you’re in Midtown and looking for an extraordinary dining experience, Allora is a must-visit. Five stars without hesitation!
ALLORA was 10/10 two nights in a row! We ate here late the night we arrived in New York City because it’s right next door to the hotel we stayed in. We had a caesar salad that was prepared table-side and the gnocchi the first night, both of which were freaking delicious. The manager and owner were there and they were so sweet and accommodating. We were so impressed that we ate there again the following night and ate the lamb chops and a steak! Again, delicious delicious! And the manager came over several times, his key phrase is “Waaa waa waaa” after he amazes you with the food! The lamb chops were also prepped table-side. They are the sweetest people and the food is incredible. It’s also a low lit cute date night spot!! LOVE LOVE LOVED!

Went for lunch with high hopes especially after reading the reviews. But it turned out to be such a disappointment. They served beer in a wine glass. Since I had a sore throat asked for Irish Coffee which was served in a wine glass! Extremely pricey for the quantity they serve. The servers were rude. Never going there again!
Frank Morina was our server tonight and he is top knotch. HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!! Frank and the manager were both very attentive and careful with my food allergy , took great care of my meal to make sure it was safe for me. First time coming for dinner and Frank made our whole experience. The food was out of this world, the service is above and beyond. We felt like family when dining here. Can't recommend this restaurant enough and it's our new favorite dinner spot in NYC!

Truly a hidden gem, Frank Morina and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The food was absolutely incredible from the veal parmigiana down to the side of broccoli, everything was prepared with the utmost care. The wine selection was amazing and the pricing was even better. The staff remembered us from the night before at the bar and paid special attention to my girlfriend's dairy allergy. This restaurant has definitely become my new favorite for high end Italian cuisine in nyc

What a wonderful meal! We started with a bottle of Chianti Classico Riserva recommended by our waiter, Franco Morina. The complimentary fried zucchini chips were a very pleasant surprise. We chose two appetizers to share: scallops with melon, prosciutto, and burrata cheese and squid ink ravioli in a cream sauce. Both were excellent! Stephanie ordered the kale salad, Mark had the langostino & seafood special, and I asked Franco to choose for me. He selected the Scampi alla Milanese and it was delicious in a subtle pink sauce. All of our dishes were exceptional with attentive service. We finished with a delicious Lemoncello. Our only regret was that we had to rush off to a play so that precluded trying the tiramisu. Thank you to Franco and the staff for a top notch dining experience!

My husband and I had such a wonderful dinner at Allora in the Bernic Hotel. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience—they were so friendly and helpful!
The food was absolutely amazing. We had the filet mignon and the seafood ravioli, and both dishes were cooked perfectly and so full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with real care. They also have a fantastic wine selection, which made the meal even better.
We left feeling so happy and can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a great Italian spot in NYC, this is it!
