I had dinner here with a friend Sat night, August 3rd, & it was wonderful! We were visiting from Seattle and staying in a hotel just a couple blocks away. It was warm out but comfortable, so we walked over and decided to sit outside. They had about half a dozen cute round tables, like being at a sidewalk café in Paris! Or maybe in this case I should say Rome.Our waiter, Tyson, was so friendly & helpful!He was able to answer all of our questions and guide us to making successful decisions as to our cocktails and dinner.My cocktail, which I forget the name of, had basil and raspberry, and several other things... (LOL) it was on ice and was just sweet enough and very refreshing for a summer eveningMy friend and I shared a small Caesar salad, which was very tasty. Then I had the spaghetti carbonara which was excellent and just the right portion. My friend had the rigatoni with papardelle pasta; she loved it (and I loved my taste of it as well) but it was a large portion. Had we been at home, I'm sure she would've brought it home to have for lunch, but as we were staying in a hotel, had to leave the leftovers behind.We finished off our meal by sharing a vanilla bean crème brûlée. It was sumptuous! Had that wonderful sugar on the top, which we happily cracked into and the Brulé itself was smooth and delicious. It was one of those perfect restaurant experiences, and I/we certainly will plan to go back the next time in Portland! -Oh, by the way, this was the Pearl district and it felt very safe to us. Everywhere we walked in the area was fine , no homeless to be seen. That's not the case in all areas of Portland, but even in those, as long as you don't interact with the less savory characters, generally, there's nothing to worry about.Thanks for a great evening, Tyson! (They should give you a raise!)

We came to Allora for a saturday night date night. The inside was cute with wine bottles lining the walls. Service was good and efficient. We started with some cocktails that were solid. The bruschetta trio was good, though it needed some salt. We shared 2 pastas (amatriciana and sugo di carne) that were both good. The flavors were solid but nothing to write home about. Overall Allora is a solid italian spot in the pearl district with some basic home style italian food.

We headed to dinner Friday night to @allora_pdx for some of the best Italian With both indoor and outdoor seating, we chose to sit inside to beat the heat. The dining room had an intimate feel, low volume and was very cozy. Everything is made in house, and the flavors are perfect! If you go, you must try the ravioli, calamari, and the Nico pasta. End your night with an espresso martini and crème brulee. Exceptional service from the second you walk through the door.

A friend and I visited Allora when staying in Portland. We found them after searching for something hearty when returning to the city after a long day of hiking up on the coast.Allora is a small and cozy restaurant with a beautiful ambiance. We were seated immediately upon arriving and were taken care of by a friendly and attentive server. We ordered bread, wine, and different pasta dishes. I ordered the rigatoni nico and enjoyed it so much. The pasta was delicious and the flavor of the sauce was wonderful. I'd definitely recommend checking out this Italian spot if ever in the Portland area.

YUMMY food and drinks at this place. The wait and bar staff are super friendly and always willing to answer any questions or make helpful recommendations. Perfect little spot for a date or simply just to meet up with a friend or loved one. Their prices are also reasonable and seem fair. If you show up early right at their open, you'll find the whole place practically to yourselves while it tends to get busier as it gets later. Definitely worth checking this place out!

Great Italian food and drinks. I had the cioppino. Tons of seafood! Wish it came with bread without being asked for but they brought me some upon request.
