Had a great dining experience. Food great and service fast and competent. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes good Italian food.

Today was my birthday and my BF n I were going to go to Black Angus for dinner to celebrate. We both hadn't been there in a long time, so we were both looking forward to it. We stopped at this local bakery that I had been to before, but my BF was not really familiar with this old, quaint part of town in Upland. I used to live on Euclid years ago, so it was nice to get re-aquainted with the area. We were checking out that area to find a restroom and happened upon Cafe Allegro. I checked yelp and saw the reviews, so we took a chance and made reservations for later that night. We got there about 25 mins early cuz traffic was not bad. We were checking out the menu on yelp before we went in. Everything looked and sounded so good, but we were both really hungry. We went in with an open mind and no expectations. The ambiance and lighting was nice. We got greeted and seated right away. We perused the menu again. My BF played it safe with fetticini alfredo. I ordered from the specials. I had the pan-seared scallops in shrimp sauce with risotto and vegetables. It just sounded really good and different. They gave us some bread while we waited for our food. My BF is a real bread guy. He normally likes just french or sourdough. The bread was warm n fresh. It ended up being i believe an olive bread. Crunchy on the outside n soft on the inside. Damn, that was amazing bread!! I could have eaten just that. I love lemon drop martinis n thought I'd have one to celebrate. I have found over the years that no 2 places make them alike. So u never know what you're going to get. They offer a basil lemon drop here. OMG, that was the most unique and best tasting martini ever!!! Even tho my BF thought the basil was weird, he liked it too. I realized the basil made it a multi dimensional experience with the texture and flavor of the basil on top. It took it to another level. The dinner came and I thought it had a lovely presentation. When I sliced into the perfectly seared scallops, you could see how they were shiny, juicy and glistening. I knew before I took that first bite that I would be in heaven. And my God.....I was. My BF is not a seafood person, but after I told him it tasted like a juicy pc of steak, he took a bite. I could see on his face with every chew that he believed me. He said, wow you're right it does taste like steak. That was hugely satisfying to be right.....especially on my birthday. Lol Anyway...where was I? I digress. After he tried the scallop I told him he needed to try the amazing risotto. Wow....the look on his face. He said...I could eat just that risotto. It was the best risotto I've ever had. The cauliflower, baby carrots and sliced zucchini were all cooked to perfection. Slighty al dente and glazed perfectly. I'm so not a veggie person and those too were fantastic. With the risotto, scallops and veggies along with my martini and the bread, I was filling up quickly, but we wanted to save room to share a Creme Brule for dessert. We had mentioned to our waitress that we were celebrating my birthday and she brought the Brule with a candle to make a wish. It was on the house which was a lovely and unexpected gesture. Well I can't tell you my wish.... but the meal, service and ambiance made my birthday one to remember. BTW...my BF's fetticini was the best he ever had. I tried it and I agree. Rich, creamy and perfect. This place is deserving of my longest review ever, because it was that great! We look forward to our leftovers and another trip back to Cafe Allegro, so we can try some other fantastic dishes. read more

Heavily over salted food. Server and atmosphere is nice but the taste of the food is way off. Presentation and drinks are nice too. Sad to see such a potential fall on its face. For the price, there are tons of better options. read more

Celebrated my daughters 23rd birthday here. A classy and intimate setting with delicious upscale Italian cuisine. Everything is delicious here! Our server, Cherrish gave our party amazing service, exhibiting extensive menu knowledge, offering tasteful recommendations and responsive efficiency to any needs or questions. Such a delightful person, she added to the overall ambiance of our dining experience! read more

Delicious food. Sat at the bar and had excellent service. Cocktails were delicious. Ceaser salad was very good. Cheesecake was delicious

We have been coming here for years. Love this restaurant, the food, ambience, and service. We started our meal tonight with two different wines, a red and a white, both crisp and flavorful, two different salads: the spinach and the grilled vegetable. Each was equally as good. Two guests had farfalle with gamberetti which was absolutely delicious, another had the linguini alfredo with chicken, done to absolute perfection, and the last was the linguini del'atlantico which was mouthwateringly delicious. The clams were so tasty and the white cream sauce was divine. The foccacio, was as always, out of this world. It never disappoints. We also shared the olive cake. Weird as it sounds, it is made inhouse, and the cake has a nice crisp lemon flavor. A definite go-to-place. read more

Had lunch here today. Nick was are waiter, great job. He kept are glasses filled, bread basket filled. Food was great. Highly recommend. Will be back. read more

Special celebration dinner at our favorite restaurant. My husband and i were sitting outside at our favorite table sipping on a glass of KJ when 2 men came out of the restaurant and sat across from us at the other end of this small patio. They both lit a huge cigar and the smoke traveled downwind directly toward us. I immediately got up holding a napkin over my nose and complained to the staff. "Nothing we can do ma'am," the waitress replied when I asked for help." "Fine, I replied. We will take our food to go and never come back until you institute a non cigar smoking policy on the patio! Oh did I tell you we have been weekly regulars for the past 10 years!!!! Oh, and I'm a yelper!" read more

Not a good dining experience! Grab a dink if you must, and GO! Food was bland. Tasted like it was microwaved. Note to self; if ever you get an Old Fashion that's half full, don't order anything else above a water! (service was good). read more

Great authentic Italian food, good service and wonderful ambiance. It reminded me of our trip to Italy

Glad we stumbled upon this place when searching online for a restaurant. Went on a sunday evening, no wait. The food and service was great! Had the bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer, which were delicious! The spinach fettuccine with scallops was amazing & the ziti pasta with sausage was also great! We will definitely return to try different plates. Server was very nice and attentive. Great spot for a date night. read more

Allegro - Capesante pasta dish - Italian Near Me - Upland, California

Service was excellent and these 3 stars are solely based of the taste/quality of the food. We decided on the bruschetta, shrimp Alfred and carbonara. The good lacked major, MAJOR flavor. It was extremely bland and we were disappointed. read more

I been there before my daughter loves it. This time we were having dinner when a lady walks in with her dog. It had no vest so he wasn't a Service dog. Don't get me wrong I love animals, however, once a week I need to get an allergy shot. My daughter asked if they allow dogs inside the restaurant. Waitress said it was the first time one comes inside. They have a patio. Needless to say I started coughing because nothing was done about the dog. Had to take an allergy pill. It would be great if the business took care of the customers. Also the waitress said she was going to ask the manager, but nothing happen. I asked for the check and left. read more

Excellent food; nice variety on the menu; dining on the outside patio is the best. Can be loud inside and not necessarily a place I would bring you down kids to. read more

This was my first time here. I really enjoyed it. Great food, atmosphere and service. I would totally recommend. I got the scallops and risotto. Delicious read more

Allegro - Italian Near Me - Upland, California

The bread was good. But, we should've left as soon as we were seated. In upland for the Irish festival, we wanted to have a sit down meal and noticed they had advertised whiskey cocktails. When I asked the server what they were, she literally rolled her eyes and sighed. Pretty sure I shouldn't be apologizing for asking about advertised specials. The focaccia bread was delicious. That was the highlight and the reason for 2 stars. I ordered the Checca cause seriously? It's like 4 ingredients. Yeah, no. It was a weird combo of ultra bland yet a little spicy. I had to add tons of salt, pepper, and the balsamic from the table just to make it edible. Even then I didn't finish it. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how this place has 4 stars. Maybe dining options are super limited here? read more

This place is awful. Some of the worst service I have experienced. Our party of 3 plus a high chair for my daughter checked in and we're told it would be a 25 minute wait. After 45 minutes and dealing with an extremely inattentive hostesses we were finally seated and there was no effort made to accommodate my daughter and provide a high chair. There was no effort made to remedy the situation. After an hour wait there response was essentially we don't have a seat for your 1 year old. If we were told that they would have not have been able to provide a high chair when we checked in we would have gladly taken our business elsewhere and not waited for an hour with a hungry toddler, snacks can only do so much. I'm sure the food is great, but I'll never know as I will never be return to Allegro. read more

I decided to try this restaurant since it seemed like they served good authentic pasta. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo and instead of the the fettuccine Alfredo I substituted it for angel hair pasta. The customer service was great when I arrived and picked of my food. The bread was fresh and good BUT the pasta was the worst plate I have ever tried. Not authentic, NO FLAVOR, WATERY, HARD AnD TASTELESS CHICKEN. My husband even said it tasted like A**. Lol I did not call to complain I simply will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Allegro - Italian Near Me - Upland, California

I found Allegro's when I was searching for a place to cater my son and daughter-in-law's baby shower. Myself and four other family members sampled some dishes and thought that the food there was outstanding! The Carbonara was our favorite; the Lasagna with Bolognese Sauce coming in as a close second. We decided on these two entrees and the Insalata Mista for our event. Included with these items were three different types of fresh bread, oil and vinegar for dipping, freshly grated cheese, extra carbonara and bolognese sauce along with some additional condiments. Portions were large; we had way more than enough to satisfy our crowd. Our guests all raved about the food! Pauline was friendly and great to work with. She was very helpful and responded to all of our inquires promptly. I would highly recommend Allegro's for a great meal anytime and definitely for your next event that you want to have catered! read more

Food was delicious (I had the chicken marsala and my friends had salmon). Service was attentive but not intrusive. Great restaurant - will definitely be back! read more

It was ok, chicken fettuccine was really plain. I was disappointed. I have been here before and remember it being good.may try it again, not sure. read more

Fantastic food, amazing bread the appetizers were delicious ambiance was so cute and very friendly staff right around stores to walk around

The staff is very generous and accommodating. 3/5 is not at all a reflection of service or atmosphere. Simply put, the quality of Italian cuisine versus price point is uneven. The dishes need just slight adjustments to be elevated. For example, my shrimp&vegetable bowtie pasta had way too much olive oil in it. A good pasta dish just needs a healthy drizzle. read more

The restaurant itself was very nice. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty empty. Only 3 out of the 20 tables were taken up. 1. When seated, the waitress put us in the corner RIGHT NEXT to another table (basically on top of them) when there was so much space. I had to ask to move. 2. My pizza dough was not done so I sent it back. When I explained it to the waitress, she pointed to the cheese on top of the pizza and said it's cheese not dough. I had to explain to her that I know the difference between dough and cheese and that the dough was raw in the middle. 3. I then ordered a tortellini soup and after I ordered she said "you realize that's soup right?" YES I KNOW WHAT I ORDERED. read more

Talk about a mouthwatering delicious Italian restaurant with great choices great service and great atmosphere all in a little café type restaurant our waitress Jenn was fantastic she met all our needs and was always having a very good outlook and happy smile definitely a redo the prices were OK read more

Went here before a show at the grove. Nice that it within walking distance. Full bar which is great, but too busy to get any acknowledgment when I went up. Waitress was fine. Ordered the sausage explosion which was very spicy , but really good. Only complaint , $13 for bruschetta is way high , $12. 50 for a martini is ridiculous . Food itself was average high. Great for a treat, but too high for the area read more

Excellent food and service. Dining outside uber a white tent. Would definitely return. read more

I went out to dinner with the girls last night. We got the large appetizer sampler. It was more than enough for 4 girls! I got a pear martini -- super strong, and very delicious! And I had the angel Hair pasta with chicken. A little bland, but still good. I thought it was slightly too dark in the restaurant.. I had trouble reading the menu. I thought the prices were slightly high considering the place looked a little run down.. but other than that, I liked my experience. read more

My first time there was yesterday. We ordered the lasagna (excellent) cheesy and meaty. The chicken Marsala (very good) tons of flavor, chicken was a little dry and the capellini la salmone (fish was flavorful) but the pasta had little flavor. I have it a 4 b/c of the salmone pasta dish and the waitress never brought any bread to the table. The bread looked homemade and full of herbs...I would have loved a piece. I didn't ask b/c we had an appetizer that was sooo good. The bacon wrapped dates on top of a light salad was also very good. I will be back with more friends. The ambiance was very cozy and warm. read more

Super yummy ! The staff was some of the loveliest ladies and made it soooo worth it! We had a huge party lots of kids and they were so polite and patient, lovely lovely lovely. The food was super yummy and the old fashions were good! Can't recommend enough, the atmosphere is also very calm. read more

We had dinner last night there, everything was great, we order a cheese plate , we were charged $5.00 when we asked for bread or crackers for the cheese plate. Do love their good and service, but when start charging extra for bread and crackers, that is too much, I see they not not offering bread with dinner may 1, a Italian restaurant, not giving bread with dinner is unheard of, that will be a extra charge too. Bread Basket, I think they should ask if you want bread or not to save money. read more

Dinner was perfect. We were a party of 10. Service, impeccable! Great time catching up with family.
