We went to Allegro tonight for our first trip to a restaurant with friends since January of '20. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of restaurants. The food and service were very good. We hade Linguini Dell Atlantic, Penne Explosive, Canneloni Di Vongole and Cozze & Vongole along with the house salad and house Cab. Very good food and friends. Our server, Cherish, helped make the night special. We always have a good time when we come here. read more

It was like we were in an episode of Kitchen Nightmare before chef Ramsey arrived. Disgusting dirty stained menus, parts of the wall chipping off( not part of the decor),stale bread, and "Tilt-O -wheel" table. . The food was not fresh either. A microwave played a big role in the preparation of our food. The owner /chef should look at what they are serving. Very sad cause we liked this place in the past. Server was good. I won't be back. read more

Been here 3 times and I always leave extremely satisfied, got the lasagna and must say it's the best lasagna I've ever had, also the fettuccine is tasty also but I'd say lasagna over fettuccine overall though. read more

Wonderful bread and food! I enjoyed the salmon above angel-hair pasta with basil and spinach and two tasty sauces. The waitress, Julia, is full of heart and kindness and a generous spirit. Enjoy! read more

Came here for a Friday night dinner and was underwhelmed to say the least. The menu is over priced for really boring and bland food. We ordered a salad, which was actually delicious. I ordered the penne explosive and it looked like a 10 year old made it. The pasta sauce was bland, and the cilantro was honestly very weird in a pasta dish. I would not recommend if you're interested in real Italian food. read more

The ambience is wonderfully comfortable and relaxed during the day and romantic in the evening. The customer service is good and the food and drinks are delicious. I highly recommend their lasagna, and if the weather is nice, enjoying it on their lovely patio. read more

This was my first time here with my lovely wife. Our food was excellent, and our drinks were delicious wow. Our drinks made by Brittney was absolutely delicious, and Cody, the manager, came and checked on us constantly made us feel at home. Will be back for sure. read more

I'll admit, Valentine's Day is not the best time to try a new restaurant but we did it! We had a reservation at 8 and they sat us promptly at 8. That was a great start. The food was really delicious. We started with calamari (so good) and then both had the Chicken Marsala on top of the Spinach Fettuccini. Everything about that dish was just great, the sauce was so delicious. Even the chicken had such good flavor. It wasn't dry or bland. Also our server Jenn was awesome! I would have definitely given this place 5 stars if it wasn't for the atmosphere. On this particular night (Valentine's) the restaurant was super hot and stuffy and they had the tables extremely close together. I could hear everyone's conversations. There were also two tables next to us that knew each other and proceeded to yell back and forth at each other to have a conversation. I felt like I was in a rowdy bar. I'm glad Jenn was our waitress because she just had the best attitude and made me feel like I could deal with the atmosphere. I'm glad I stayed because as our meal progressed, rowdy people left and they must have turned on the air because the place was cooler. I could actually hear the lovely music they have playing in the background. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I look forward returning on a less crowded night and hopefully updating this review to five stars because the food is delicious. read more

came here for a last minute date on valentine's day around 3:40, my boyfriend and I got seated immediately with no reservation which was super nice! the ambiance is super romantic and perfect for a date night, we enjoyed having our valentine dinner here. we started off with appetizers and espresso martinis. the bruschetta we had was SOO SOO SO DELICIOUS! every bite was so savory and so bomb. this was our first time ever trying espresso martinis which were also very good and smooth. I ordered a chicken piccata plate and my boyfriend ordered the chicken parmigiana. the plate that i got wasn't too appetizing and honestly lacked a lot of seasoning, or love. maybe it's just the plate I tried but it didn't ruin my experience. our server was so nice and helpful with us I didn't get her name but she gave us very great service! overall, we had a pleasant dining experience and we will definitely come back! read more

We came to this restaurant as we like the food and old downtown Upland. Food was fantastic but since they took out a wall to extend the bar area, it was really too noisy and could not hear ourselves talk. Service was slow. We were beginning to think that the bar had to go out and find the bottle of Bud Light. Food came out hot and delicious. We will be back. Allegro has good Italian food! read more

What an absolute discouraging experience and rip off! I came here today to celebrate a birthday and they wanted to charge me 2 bucks per person to cut a birthday cake are you kidding me? Is business so bad that they're charging to cut a cake now? I felt so uncomfortable bringing my family here, I'll NEVER come here again. The experience has been horrible so far, the place is half empty and we've been waiting over an hour just to be served. It totally sucks! And I made a reservation! The place is practically empty, come on! Seriously, I don't even feel comfortable opening birthday gifts because I'm afraid they're going to charge for that too.. I won't ever recommend this place to anyone I know as it's definitely not a family place, and they treat people like they want you in and out. No hospitality whatsoever. The vibe here totally sucks, very unwelcoming! We got here at 640pm it's now 805pm and we're still waiting.. Bummer I asked for the owners number to complain and the best they could do was give me a corporate email. Just great! I hope they read this email. Before I decide to file a complaint with Better Business Bureau because they really suck! Big-time! read more

Great place to get out of the hustle and bustle. Service is always great! Food is excellent and great drinks. Best kept secret of Upland.

Highly recommend this spot! The food is fresh and the service I received was outstanding..

If you like Italian food, this place is an absolute dime!! The food is out of the world, and the cocktails are top notch. Lots of delicious food items and nothing has disappointed me yet. Very nice place and the inside is similar to a traditional Italian restaurant. Don't plan to go here with super large parties, the inside is not that large. Great place to go on a date and the customer service is always good! I wish I had photos of the food dishes as they looked and tasted immaculate. Take your date here, go for lunch, or just go by yourself, this place works for any occasion! Bring an empty stomach, the portions are large! Don't forget to try a cocktail, they make some fantastic looking cocktails. Patio area is nice if the weather is good. read more

First time here for my 10yr anniversary and I'm glad I came here Instead of Olive Garden so different and authentic! The food was great and our server Krystal was super sweet and attentive, I will be returning for sure. read more

Everything about this restaurant is wonderful. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything. Always a wonderful experience eating at Allegro. read more

Long time upland resident, have been here twice in 20 years and now i remember why. Bread was not fresh today. Bacon wrapped dates were the smallest little things you have ever seen which is shocking since we are only miles away from the best dates in the world, medjools from palm springs. Caprese salad mozzarella was not good quality nor fresh, it was dry and bland. Husband ordered the special shrimp and steak and he was fine with his meal except cold asparagus. I ordered the braised beef tapas which was fresh out of the microwave.....disappointed. Drinks were great. Service was excellent. read more

Great food and friendly service. Been here twice and have not been disappointed. Loved the Capellini Al Salmonella. Great Wine list.

Without a doubt try the chicken parm, it's huge, with a side of nicely seasons string beans!!!

Excellent food, excellent service! We went for lunch and it was a delicious treat. I am gluten free and they have lots of options and take great care of my concerns. read more

I really didn't want to cook dinner tonight so.... I always drive Allegro Italiano Ristorante . My boyfriend wanted chicken alfredo with broccoli and we didn't want to drive to Olive Garden. So he said baby let's try Allegro. I called in an order for chicken alfredo add broccoli and a dinner salad took about 15 minutes so we went up and got it. Everything is super good although I thought it was a little pricey you get what you pay for. And everything was on point. We will definitely order again from Allegro. read more

Great food , service could have been more attentive. The ambiance is perfect for a date night.

One of our favorite restaurants to take a group of friends for special occasions and also for the two of us. However, tonight 2/15 we arrived at 6:10 and ordered dinner and a bottle of wine. At 7:30 we left restaurant not having received our meal We did get free bread. In bringing this to the attention of the manager we received "oh I'm so sorry". Very disappointed. BTW Wine was $52. Might think again about going back real soon. read more

Very nicely decorated restaurant with friendly staffs. We waited abit for our food but it's worth it because the food did not disappointed us. We've ordered scallops risotto and linquini with salmone both was very rich in flavors and creamy. read more

Since 2013, when friends of ours introduced us to this restaurant, it has become one of our favorite dining locations. The food served is always fresh and delicious, the service is excellent and the decor setting provides for a relaxed setting. Our friends have since moved away, but my wife and l still dine at Cafe Allegro in Upland at least once or twice a month. Recently, for the first-time, we placed a take-out order from there, and still found the food hot & delicious, even after a 30-minute drive home. My wife's favorite is their salmon salad and l love their pizza. Pizza is not listed on the current menu, - you have to request this. The chefs are very accommodating! Allegro in Upland also has a sister-restaurant located in nearby La Verve, but after going there once a year or more ago (pre-COVID), and vowed not to go there again. Though the menu is similar, on the evening of our visit, we were advised they did NOT have all the ingredients to prepare some of the items on the menu (causing us to keep selecting alternatives), the setting is also smaller and service was marginal on that date. read more

Well, i was hoping that i could say something g better than i was able to say the last time. Such a disappointment. They got new management, new menu, new wine list....no more pizza, no Chianti by the glass...seriously disappointing. I think this was my last time at this restaurant. The waiter had a sweatsuit on...service was slow. The soup i always get was flavorless. Good bye caffe allegro read more

I'm so glad we decides to have dinner here tonight. We were seated within 20 minutes with out reservations. Ordered their steak was with mashed potatoes which was delicious and tender. Their spaghetti and fettuccine plates were really tastey. The service we as great. If your looking for a good authentic Italian place to eat definitely come here. read more

Cafe Allegro is one of the most authentic and romantic experiences you can get in Upland! The interior is painted in warm gold tones and filled with charm and detail. It's a white linen table cloth kind of place but doesn't feel stuffy. There is an attention to detail like fresh cut flowers on each table and festive holidays decorations subtly placed around the restaurant. There is a small bar and a few tables perfect for an after work merlot. The food is so flavorful and rich and satisfying! Everything I've ever gotten has been delicious with very generous portions. The staff is so lovely as well. Kind and ready to wait on you with style! There's also a large patio with heaters where you can people watch. Perfect location in the cute old town Upland! read more

We just moved to Upland and decided to try out some of the local eateries. My husband and I chose this place on date night and we love it! We really weren't expecting much, just some Italian food, can't go wrong with spaghetti right?? We were pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious. The ambiance is cozy and romantic, they have a cute patio too. A nice assortment of wines, warm assorted bread, fresh flowers at the table and candle light. The wait was a bit long for our food to come, but we hardly noticed because we were too busy talking and enjoying our wine and warm bread. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I haven't been here to eat since before COVID, so was excited to have dinner there last night. It's always been one of my favorite places to eat and it did not disappoint. I had the chicken raviolis and a glass of Pinot Noir - wow, it was delicious. and, I can't forget to mention our waitress, she was amazing and went out of her way to make the evening special. Thank you to all for your hard work. read more

My wife and I dined here this evening and had a wonderful dinner. We have dined at their restaurant in La Verne twice before and have been impressed with their service and menu. We thought we would give the Upland location a try and we were not disappointed. The location is quaint and clean. We were greeted by friendly hosts and seated promptly. As for the menu, it had a wide variety of classic Italian dishes as well as some house specialty items. The menu also had a large variety of sea food options. We enjoyed the bruschetta as an appetizer and it was wonderful. My wife had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was phenomenal. I had the chicken Parmesan and it was incredible. As for service, we had the great fortune of having Lillianna as our server. She was very friendly, attentive, responsive and timed our courses perfectly. Great job Lillianna! My wife and I truly enjoy dining out and believe we have very discerning tastes as to restaurants. We highly recommend this location. read more

Came in on a Friday night looking forward to a nice date night with my husband. The greeter was unfriendly and service was sub-par. This was our first experience and do not plan on returning. What a HUGE let down. Was hoping to support this small business. Save your money and skip this place. read more

Express lunch (15 mins or less or it's free) is hit or miss, and they do not give you your money back. Missing food. I went for lunch during a district meeting and we only had an hour, plenty of time for their Express lunch. We asked for our checks as soon as we put our orders in so we'd be ready to go after we ate, and waited min 25 mins from the time the waitress printed our checks to actually receive our food (we looked at the printed time on the receipt). That's not counting the time we actually put our order in with the waitress, which would put us closer to 40 mins of wait time. We had to ask for it to be boxed up and ate it during the last half of the meeting. She dropped off our food at the table and left, no mention of the "free" part of the Express Lunch since it was well over 15 mins. The eggplant sandwich was amazing, but the salad was tiny and dry with no dressing and missing the pasta salad it came with. One other time I've had the Express Lunch it was much quicker. So give yourself enough time if you're on a deadline and eating during lunch. read more

One of our favorites. They have a lunch special that is a great value. Just wish my favorite menu item was on it :) Their Chicken Marsala is wonderful. Everyone that I know who has had it agrees! The bread is delicious too. read more
