Prosciutto! My husband and I ordered three dishes with prosciutto in them, we're big fans! The panini, fettuccini, and the antipasto plate were scrumptious! It was a good thing we ordered three dishes, because the portions were smaller than what a typical Italian restaurant serves but the quality of the dishes, particularly the freshness of the pasta is worth it. Nice romantic restaurant too.
Wonderful Server and Great Authentic Food – in Summary- Cafe Allora is a great restaurant and wonderful services- you MUST ask for "Enrico"!! He was the best server! He is from Florence, Italy and really knows his Italian Food and Wine! He is extremely outgoing and just so helpful and friendly. His authenticity adds to the flavors of the dishes and probably makes the food taste even better! This was the 1st time my wife and I went to Café Allora Summer 2009- but we certainly will be back many times. They have some great out ... read more
Perfect pre-show meal – While cruising the Pearl to find a nice place to eat before a show at the Schnitzer Concert Hall, my husband and I stumbled onto Caffee Allora. We were charmed by the cozy interior and neighborhood ambience. Hubby went traditional with spaghetti and tomato & meat sauce; I chose one of the specials - dungeness crab in white sauce over penne. The sauce had the slightest "kick" of cayenne that was a delightful surprise. Though the entre portions were smallish, in combination with a misto salad (fennel, a... read more
Best Romantic Spot – I have gone to Cafe Allora twice and am going tonight. I have been extremely impressed each time I have gone. The food is authentic, the people authentic, and the atmosphere authentic. I spent a month in Rome and have not found food comparable here in Oregon until Cafe Allora. I have had the antipasto appetizer, the rocket and sopresseta appetizer, and my favorite, the ravioli. They got my order wrong and brought out the risotto. When I told them it is not what we ordered, they left the risotto for the t... read more
Real authentic italian food, fantastic, great service, – "Real authentic Italian food. We were going downtown Portland to do some shopping and asked a local shop keeper "(Lumenessence)" period lighting if he knew of a good restaurant close by. Cafe Allora was just a couple of blocks away so went in and fell in love with it. There six of us and we ordered Ravioli, Pannini sandwich, Rissoto, and spinach salad and bread. It was agreed among all of us that the food was fantastic. The bread was served with olive oil and was best ... read more

terrible eating experience – My husband and I went to Cafe Allora for a special birthday dinner. It could hardly have been more disappointing. The glasses were dirty, the spinach salad was oily, it took FOREVER to get our entrees, and when we did one of them was incredibly, staggeringly flavorless. I think it was literally free of any type of seasoning whatsoever. I'm sorry but dumping some cheese over your watery "risotto" doesn't fool anyone. The waitress was apologetic when we complained, but didn't take the uneaten, unea... read more
