Alloro Ristorante Italiano

You'll find yourself debating whether to order the same incredible dish again or branch out – that's the kind of problem Alloro creates. The handmade pasta arrives with that perfect al dente bite, while the osso buco falls apart at the mere suggestion of a fork. The dining room feels like someone's well-appointed front room, complete with Italian family photos and the gentle hum of regulars catching up over their usual tables. Service here operates on Italian time, which means everything arrives when it's ready, not a moment before. The wine list leans heavily into natural Italian bottles that pair beautifully with whatever the kitchen's turning out that day. Book ahead for weekends – this isn't the kind of place that does walk-ins justice.
