Cafe Allegre

We spent a few days on the shore and one night we went to Cafe Allegre for dinner. We made a reservation as we wanted to sit in the front bar room which is less formal than the main dining room in the back. We had a very pleasant dinner. Food was great. Atmosphere delightful and good attentive service. We have been here before and will definitely go again.

Phenomenal dishes, great prices and fantastic service. Easily one of the best restaurants on the shoreline. Check out their happy hour specials—you won’t be disappointed!

So so disappointed!! Obviously nothing like the chef Silvio who owned and cooked here some time ago. Italian pasta should not be smothered in gooey melted cheese!!! That’s an American bastardization!! This gnocchi dish was supposed to have “Sunday sauce”!! Please don’t advertise as Sunday sauce!! Instead it had very limited pinkish sauce. And so much melted cheese that one could not get at the gnocchi!!! Come on!! The single side of a meatball was pretty good as was the fried calamari. Fried artichokes very heavy batter. Not returning anytime soon.

What a beautiful restaurant! We arrived just when they opened on a Saturday evening. I had to walk around to explore the many different dining areas. There is one table in front of a fireplace that I thought looked very romantic. Our waiter, Bill, provided impeccable service. He was attentive and friendly and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable (I was wearing a walking boot due to an ankle injury.) The chairs in the dining room were comfortable and had a nice cushion. The tables were set with a crisp tablecloth, and there seemed to be an endless supply of warm bread on our table. We tried several appetizers, including the stuffed mushrooms and clams casino. I had the halibut for dinner and shared the Lava cake. All were exquisitely prepared and delicious. Looking forward to

Visited here last night for a private event with a prix fixe menu. We were pleased with the variety of options, and everything we had was delicious. The New York Style calamari was really flavorful and had just the right amount of spice, and the steak was cooked perfectly to everyone’s liking. I thought that the deconstructed banana split was a really unique dessert, and I really enjoyed it! It features Doughwich’s ice cream sandwich and is a great way to support a local business. I hope to come back here soon and try more items from their menu!
