Cute little Italian spot. Gentlemen who sat us was charming. Waitress was new and couldn't recommend anything on the menu. Ended up getting spaghetti. It was okay. My spouse got the lemon dish and that was yummy. Waitress didn't fill up bread or drinks which was not cool but we gave her a pass since she was new. Over all good. Ambiance was nice.

The Mrs and I have been waiting to visit Allison's restaurant for awhile and finally got our chance. Having read previous reviews, I wasn't turned off by the strip mall. It's not visually appealing, especially considering what you get once you enter those doors, but it's not nearly as bad as some reviews made it seem. Inside however? Wow. Allison's is definitely a hidden gem. The restaurant is clean, with a wonderful ambiance. Allison's has an extensive wine menu, but the real MVP is the food. I had the Cajun pasta, which came with italian sausage, grilled shrimp over penne pasta and a delicious cream sauce. All I can say is m: WOW. My GF had chicken limone, which was equally delicious. Throw in the fact that I had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and a deliciously citrus South African wine that paired excellently with our meals... Allison's will definitely be seeing me again.

Chicken

I had the shrimp, crab and artichoke with pasta. It was excellent. The breading on the mozzarella sticks was perfectly light. The service was excellent.

Fettucine Aurora

Hmm monthly dinner with the male parental and we need to try something new! Neither of us are wanting any chain, so I check out thee YELP to help a chica out. So Allison's is located in this random strip mall, you can't see if from the main road, but if you see a BK you have hit the right spot. The place is unassuming, and you would have no idea what to expect just by looking on the outside. The place is quaint, and it wasn't too crowded. They appear to have specials pretty regularly, and they looked delish. The menu is fair sized, it changes for lunch/dinner. Service was prompt, and attentive. Bread basket had some sort of herb bread and this bomb cornbread. I loved it's sweetness, just the way I think it should be. On this night I ended up with fettuccine Aurora, that has shrimp, lump crab, spinach and artichokes in a pink sauce. The dish was a perfect size, the proteins were plentiful, and it was seasoned nicely. Here is the goof, I totally ordered something else! I ordered the Penne Pasta with Italian Sausage and somehow got this. The funny thing is I didn't care because it was just so good! My dad ordered the Chicken Limone which he said was just as good. He totally cleared his plate. Pretty cool neighborhood spot, I'd definitely come back and try something else, probably the specials!

Lemme alla vodka
Jess C.

Best restaurant in Crofton, Maryland! ...yeah, I said it. This place is a guaranteed good meal. Don't let the old shopping mall scare you off. This is a diamond in the rough, my friends. I ordered the penne alla vodka special which was pretty good. My mom's dish was the salmon which was excellent! So tender. Our waiter made our meal exquisite, he was so attentive & thoughtful. Our mealtime was even running a bit over their working hours but he offered for us to stay as long is it took. I would return for another meal here in a heartbeat. This place deserves all the awards.

Spaghetti carbonara WOW everyone should try this
Tim T.

Stopped in for dinner before going to the bowling alley. If you sit in the bar area they have another menu just for the bar. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara if your a carbonara fan this is the place you need to try. The first time I got this it was good but this time it was even better has lots of bacon and garlic with some onion chucks that are awesomely good. The only thing that could probably top it would be to add a few peas to the dish. And if you are thinking about desert get the lemon cake it is very moist.

Bread. Cornbread is dense but still moist.

My husband and I have eaten breakfast here several times, but I am finally getting around to…read moreleaving a review. That's mostly because our server this morning, Rachael, was amazing. We were seated promptly upon arrival and, we're not even in our seats. Three minutes before Rachael came over to greet us, offer menus, and ask us if we would like to start with any drinks. When she returned with our coffee, she was personable, professional, and very helpful when we ask questions about different menu items. I ordered a seasonal menu item; tiramisu pumpkin pancakes. I asked Rachael how they were and if she had had them and she honestly said she had not, but that her daughter loved them. I love it when you ask your weight staff, and they are honest with you rather than just making something up. It's very helpful! The portions were huge and we had to get boxes to bring home. When she brought the boxes, Rachael even offered to put our coffee in to goat cups for us! The atmosphere is nice, the food is very good, and, if you're lucky enough to have Rachael as your server, you will not be disappointed!

I'm always impressed when a restaurant can take the basics and make them really, really good. I…read moreordered French toast, eggs, and bacon from Eggspectation, and honestly, I loved every bit of it. Nothing overly complicated but well prepared, flavorful breakfast food done right. I only got my food to go, but the restaurant itself looked really nice and I definitely want to come back and actually sit down for brunch. The staff was super friendly and helpful, my order was ready right on time, and even after driving it back to my hotel, everything was still warm. This is definitely going to become one of my go-to brunch spots whenever I'm in the area. Can't wait to actually dine in next time!
