Review 4 for Allegretti

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"Honestly, the price points for this place are WAY too high. The decor is cacophonous, the service is confusing, and the food over-salted and lacking in complexity. Many of these are forgivable crimes if you're paying $10 per plate, but Allegretti is far too greedy for that.

Gourmands often say that the true test of a chef is how he or she cooks an egg, and if the "omelet" starter has anything to say about Allegretti's chef, he or she cooks gritty, dense, greasy, salty food.

"Had a really great dinner here with a friend. The food was terrific, the maitre d' was warmly professional and informative, and the service was on point and attentive. The chef made the rounds in the dining room, too. One of my most enjoyable meals in a long time. The sound level can be lively but thins out as it gets later."

Review 11 for Allegretti

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"Everything was nice but the food, which was rather mediocre, especially considering the prices. I had an appetizer of grilled octopus for $18, which was nicely grilled but lacked flavor and came with hummus and chickpeas seemingly right from a supermarket. My wife's salad was mediocrity incarnate.

My pasta entee of Black Tagliolini was rather tiny and again the flavor was rather mediocre. My wife had the rack of lamb for $37. It was very nicely done, but not extraordinary by any means and tiny for the price! (just two small ribs)

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"For those who appreciate the finer things in life, Allegretti is most definitely the place for you. The wine list, the service and atmosphere is a tribute to French culture. The place is chique, classy and and cosy all at the same time. The food is served in a way that allows every flavor to have its place without imposing itself on the dish. If you are a person who believes that there is no greatness where there is not simplicity, then you'll enjoy Allegretti's. Bon appetit! O and make sure you park somewhere where you won't get a $115 ticket after dinner, that'll ruin the clafouti :)"

Review 14 for Allegretti

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We knew that we were in for a treat when we arrived at the restaurant (pre-concert at the Garden) and the staff was concluding a wine tasting. The service was friendly, knowledgable and attentive from the bar to the table. If you are looking for a fabulous french bistro for a special occasion, this is it. Appetizers were outstanding and the menu had a good variety making it tough to choose. Main course items were small and pricey, but the preparation and quality were outstanding. It's always tough to find a truly good restaurant around the Garden and while it is a short cab ride or a long walk, Allegretti was the perfect place."

"I went to Allegretti on Friday to try their restaurant week menu. Most of it was delicious, but I have to say that the undercooked mushroom risotto that I had really put a damper on the meal. Highly recommend the root vegetable soup and clafoutis for dessert, but they should really have better quality control with the risotto. For a main course without any sides, it needs to be done well."

"The portions were tiny but every bite counted as the quality and experience of the chef really showed through. I enjoyed the salmon the way the skin was crisped to perfection however I was not a fan of the vegetable side the it came with. Their flourless chocolate cake was surprisingly dense yet decadent. The atmosphere is nice for a fine dining restaurant however there were only a couple of tables occupied at dinner and it was so quiet that it made the whole place feel stifling. This would be a good choice for business lunch or dinner."

"The food was very good. However, we were "rushed" through our meal. When asked for bread, we were told it would come to the table once the order was taken. When we ordered our appetizer and main course, we were also asked to give our dessert choice. The tab came at the same time we were served coffee. This is unheard of and unacceptable. The noise level was NOT energetic, it was unbearable.We had to shout at one another to be heard. Although I really enjoyed the food preparation and presentation, I will never return."

"During restaurant week the place was bustling, and the year-round three course dinner was reduced a whopping $4 from $39 to $35 (with an explanation that the choices were also reduced). Tiny rolls were served only after the dinner order was taken. The portions were tasty, but decidedly small, including the vegetables. The risoto main course was the size of an appetizer. I wonder if it would have been as small if one ordered "a la carte." When I mentioned this to the manager, he spoke to the chef and then returned with the explanation that the pay extra money to get the best tomatos and vegetable. But rice? Come on. Don't serve a dish if it is too expensive for the price charged. We past "Olive Garden" on the way home. Hmm!"

"Service was inconsistent. Pasta arrived cold. Had to remind them to serve dessert that came with prix fixe menu. Wine portion was miserly. Mushroom pasta was good, but would have been considered delicious if it had arrived warm at table.

Prix fixe available all year, which is a plus. Staff friendly. Plates TOO BIG!

"Great Restaurant, its a elegant restaurant, great atmosphere and they are very professional.
The food is very good and the wine makes it even better. I will defiantly good again. Specially since they have the pre-fix lunch and dinner. Me and the wife spend about $100 in total. We got pre-fix lunch and one cup of wine and one appetizer.

"I live in the area and eat out every night. I was excited to finally try Allegretti after hearing good things about it. It was a nightmare!!!! We waited over an hour for our table. We were told they were unable to keep up with the demands of Restaurant Week. This is a poor excuse. You know how many reservations you can accomodate. If you cannot keep up take less reservations or hire extra staff. I was hoping the food would make up for poor service and elitist attitude, but it did not. The food was fair. I will not go back, nor would I recommend anyone else do. The only redeeming part was atleast I got my opentable points!"

"We went for R/W because of it's reviews. The only dissapointment was the portion size of the wild mushroom risotto.The waiter was even concerned over the size of the portion.Really, how much does a cup of rice cost???? The reason to participate in R/W was to develop new customers.......or so the members of our party thought....would we ever return....?? most likly not....sorry"

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The small space managed not to feel cramped and the fireplace in one corner added warmth to a frigid night. The food was lovely--very subtle in that Provencale way--but I think because of it being Restaurant Week, the portions were on the petit side. My friend had taggliatelle with mushrooms, which was to die for, and I had a roasted salmon with a mariniere sauce. The fish was seared but there wasn't enough sauce to really lend a lot of flavor to the dish. However, my dessert--clafoutis with chocolate and fruit--I could eat any day. Blown away by the courteous, friendly and sincere service--everyone from the hostesses to the bussers. I'm ready to go back to try the main menu (as soon as I can afford the $30+ entrees)."

"I will never go back. My dinner at Allegretti was ruined by an incident that took place. I wear my baseball cap for two reasons; I find restaurants are chilly (being quite bald) and in the past I’ve left my hat behind when I’ve checked it. (Lax attention paid when multiple items are checked.) A staff member came to my table and informed me after I had been seated for sometime that the chef asked that I remove my hat. I have dined at major restaurants in New York and have never been asked to remove my baseball cap. If a woman wore a baseball cap it would be a fashion statement. If a man wears one at Allegretti it is a breach of decorum. If there is a policy against men wearing hats it should be mentioned when the coats are checked."

"Ricotta with red cabbage and pomegrante seeds made each ingredients flavor pop. Salmon was tastie too but my dessert was phenomenal! I wish I could remember the name of it...Cambrilis? was it made with hazenut flour? It is one of the few desserts they make in house - very different and exciting esp when to spoon from the bottom!"

HIghly recommend it. We even saw a local news celebrity enjoying his dinner with 2 friends on a Saturday night."

"Has great potential. The space is quite attractive and romantic. Good for adults, wanting conversation. While the food was quite good, the portions were so small as to require eating beforehand or after. The pasta entree was the size of a slightly larger appetizer, the fish had a handful of vegetables, not nearly as filling as the price demanded."

"Food was delicious although the portions were small (think Top Chef presentations). The prix fix braised beef was like butter. The squash soup had me wanting to lick my bowl. The noise level was a little high, making it hard to hear my dining companion. The staff, especially the maitre de (0wner?) hovered and were very friendly. We lingered and they didn't rush us off (maybe because the restaurant wasn't full). My companion said the wine was fabulous, if pricey at $16 per glass. Helped us on with our coats and were very nice. I'd love to try the ala carte menu.

Biggest problem was getting a cab in that neighborhood in the biting cold.

"My dining experience was exceptional. The service was impeccable; there was not a misstep along the way. The food was outstanding. The portions perfect and the taste exquisite. The chef visited our table three times - once is impressive. Three is off the charts. The manager helped us with our wine selection which couldn't have been better and provided us with special attention. You must eat here."

"Second visit. Both times I dropped almost $500 on wine, which is a bit pricey, but not too. Food was very good, but my lamb chops were a bit dry, although very tasty. The desserts were mixed. My annoyance was being told early in the evening that I could come by early for my 9:30 reservation, and when I arrived at 9:25, we had to wait until 10 for a table. While the staff was good, not great, one more delay like that for a table and it will be my last visit there, in spite of liking the food."

"8:00 reservation Saturday 11/21; we were seated immediately as our party was complete, but not before. All in our party were pleased with their food, which ranged from good to heavenly. Service was very good, attentive but not intrusive and the staff was knowledgeable. The noise level was fairly high early on, but became quite acceptable by 8:30 or 9:00. Overall, our experience was very positive and I will return, gladly. Standout dishes were the Nicoise Ravioli, a nearly perfectly delicious dish, the duck breast which was perfectly cooked and all the fish dishes (cod, branzino, tuna appetizer at our table) which were expertly prepared."

"Blue Hill watch out - Allegretti has all the same goods in terms of fantastic flavor combinations, impeccable service, a beautiful dining room - all without the "book it exactly a month in advance" stress. If you haven't discovered Allegretti yet, try it out."

"As the mother of a chef I found the menu to be excellent, creative, imaginative, well prepared and presented. Chef Alan Allegretti personally visited our table and was charming. Te wait staff was superb. Can't wait to have another meal there and try other items on the menu."

"Bread and appetizers were outstandng; however the main courses were not as well executed. The cod dish in particular was a disappointment, dry and bland. Deserts were fine."

"We had the prix fix dinner which was a choice of tomato/fennel soup or arugala salad; a pasta with octopus or hangar steak; and a chocolate cake or sorbet. My husband and I had one of each. Everything was truly excellent. We eat out a lot and this was just a casual Thurday night out at a place I chose because it was close by. What a wonderful surprise. A memorable meal, strong wine and beer list, and just right service. The space and decor is comfortable and nice although not as memorable as the food. We sat in the corner table, which was roomy and well situated. I would bring a group back here and feel absolutely sure that everyone would be happy. What a great find."
