We had an awesome experience! Food was so delicious! Our server, Alana, was friendly, funny, attentive, knowledgeable, and an all-around pleasure who made us want to come back very soon! Most of us tried the specials. My sea bass was so tender, tasty, and perfectly cooked! Can’t wait to eat here again. 3 up!! Highly recommend!

Good and mostly authentic southern Italian restaurant. The service was a bit slow but they were very busy. Nice old style ambiance, vado manu with dishes unusual in the US (scialatielli, friarielli, fusilli fatti in casa).

We were with a large group, had a poor experience at another restaurant nearby, and decided on a whim to leave and try L’Allegria instead. They completely turned our night around! Everyone that worked there was so kind and attentive, especially our wonderful waitress Alana. The food was all absolutely delicious. We’re so happy we ended up trying L’Allegria- it was meant to be!

Went here after my sister’s wedding. What a wonderful treat. We had a fairly set menu – appetizer, salad, and dessert was set, we had a choice between several options for the main course. I had the filet and it was cooked well and seasoned really well. The appetizer was a prosciutto and melon salad on arugula. It was delicious. We had a separate salad served as well. And the drinks were delicious – I had an espresso martini.

I threw a surprise birthday party for my mother in their private room for 15 people. Everything went as planned, thanks to the wonderful owner. The food was fabulous, (they even accommodated, my vegan sister-in-law), the service was outstanding, and because of the long table, it was like sitting in my mothers dining room, which she loves. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was.

Decided on a Tuesday night to try out this restaurant that we drive by everyday. WOW!! Outstanding old-school Italian cuisine. Shrimp and clams (casino & oreganata) appetizer was one of the best I have ever had. Pasta was clearly homemade and perfectly al-dente – sauces were excellent! Wine list is very high quality with modest mark-ups. Dessert – especially the chocolate mousse cake – was also outstanding. L’Allegria is absolutely going to be a regular visit for us now!

I would definitely recommend this restaurant! It’s very spacious for large groups and also has a great atmosphere for a romantic date. They don’t have high chairs for small babies but managed to accommodate our little one. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. It’s now one of my favorites!

Food was insanely good. Everything, down to the bread and olive oil was delicious. The kitchen made a minor mistake with my dish but was quick to fix it. Would definitely return again and would suggest you give them a try!

A perfect Rehearsal dinner, and an excellent experience. A couple of months prior, I had dinner there with my son and his fiance, and the meal was delicious, and we were in agreement. I booked it for their rehearsal dinner. The head count was hovering around 40 (BIG bridal party!) and the staff at L’Allegria could not have been more accommodating. The staff is friendly, willing to explain or answer questions and quite flexible. We knew we had some vegan/vegetarians attending, and asked if they could do a Pasta Primavera with no cheese, and they came up with a delicious dish. The menu offerings for events are extensive, there is a huge list from which to choose, so we went with three proteins, choosing the Chicken Parmigiana, the Braised Beef Short Ribs and the Salmon with Fine Herbs, in addition to the aforementioned pasta dish. We began with the House Salad, no onions, and people had their pick of the four choices listed. The restaurant offered a wide selection of wine and beer, and we chose a the assorted mini pastries, (which were also really delectable), for the dessert. You pay for the meal, the drinks and a gratuity. Obviously, I could only estimate the booze tab, but the rest of the charges were completely straight forward. The service was flawless, the wait staff are professional and gracious, and the whole evening went off without a hitch. Yes, it can be pricey, but you get what you pay for, and the quality and service were worth it. Highly recommended!
