What locals are saying
Allora is a buzzy new arrival (October 2025) from the established Free Reign Restaurants group, drawing strong early enthusiasm for its handmade pastas, rooftop terrace, and walk-up gelato window in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. OpenTable reviewers (400+) and TripAdvisor visitors consistently praise the food quality — bucatini, gnocchi, and the cheese board stand out — along with warm, attentive service. It's too new for a sustained local verdict, but the rooftop reportedly already draws lines of regulars, and the multi-format concept (main dining room, no-res bar, rooftop, gelato window) gives it broad neighborhood appeal.
