Cannoli
Jon H.

Another great dining experience at Allora. This was our 3rd time frequenting Allora and each time we've been more than pleased with our food and the service. We had reservations at 7pm with a couple of friends and were seated as soon as we arrived just before the top of the hour. Our server who, we've had before, is personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and very patient. He was also training someone the night of our most recent visit and service didn't skip a beat. Between the four of us we decided to split 3 appetizers, each ordered an entree, and split dessert. We started with Sicilian Cauliflower which tasted good with the hot peppers and hot honey (out of our three appetizers, this is the one I'd skip because it was a little too breaded for my liking). The Allora Eggrolls were phenomenal stuffed with ground sausage and broccoli rabe served over a rich, thick blush sauce. Our final appetizer was Carciofi alla Giudia which we've had before and couldn't pass up. The artichokes are so tender and the leaves are crisped perfectly. I had a very difficult time deciding on my order for dinner, but I ultimately made a great decision with a little selling from our server. My previous two visits I had the Shrimp and Crab Fra Diablo (which I've loved so it was very difficult to pass up). My fiancé ordered it this time and was very happy with her choice. There's some heat, but it's not overwhelming. Lots of pieces of lump crab and plenty of large, cooked perfectly firm wild shrimp. I was also deciding between the chicken parm because I've heard many great things about their cutlets. Again, something I decided against but our friend did order the chicken parm and loved it. The cutlet was thin and fried so nicely. His girlfriend ordered the Rigatoni Primo and also had good things to say about her meal. With a little help from our server, I finally decided on the Allora "Prime" Pork Chop. Our server said "we're known for it" and that I wouldn't be disappointed and he couldn't have been more correct. It was right up there with the best pork chop I've ever had and was even a bit cheaper. Our server described the seasoning on the pork chop as similar to blackened seasoning. It was a bit spicy which I loved and crusted beautifully. It was firm yet tender, juicy, and the portion size was huge. Served with mashed potatoes and broccoli rabe, this was more than enough food for the average person. We finished up with mini cannoli which were good but I could barely finish mine after all the food we ordered. The food at Allora never disappoints. The price is very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the incredibly large portion sizes. It's so nice that this establishment is also BYOB as that helps keep the cost down. There's nothing like having a good glass of wine with pasta made in-house at Allora. The one thing that I've noticed during each of my visits here is that it gets very loud, but all of the positives far outweigh the noise. Each time we've been it's been crowded and patrons seem to be enjoying their time which means Allora is doing so many things right.

Excellent food and great service. BYOB makes the cost very reasonable. Seems somewhat displaced initially as this great Italian restaurant is in a strip mall but the inside ambiance is very inviting. Great for a local date night. I got the short rib special which was delicious though would have loved it even more if the scalloped potatoes were cut a tad bit thinner. Make sure you have the address right in google maps as there is a duplicate/incorrect location listed elsewhere!

Rigatoni Primo
Randi P.

We had a lovely date night at Allora. I previously emailed the chef about allergies and he was extremely helpful and alleviated any concerns I had. The ambiance is quaint and cozy and it wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday evening. The service was friendly and didn't feel rushed. Our meals were fresh and flavorful and the espresso was bold and a great way to end the meal. We love that the restaurant is BYOB, making our bill very manageable. After 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and an espresso, we paid $90 before tip. We will be back! The only negative is that it's in a strip mall so parking can be competitive and a woman running late for her dinner nearly trampled me at the hostess stand, but that is the kind of clientele that seem to come here.

Excellent !!!! I ate every bite!! Bon Apetite!!

Food is fantastic!! Best keep secret, well not any more!! Bon Apetite!!! I will be back!!!

Cheesesteak Eggrolls
Susie D.

Food, ambience, service are 5 STAR. Mark, Steve, Laura, Marie and the rest of the gang are professional, efficient, and fun! The new location on Main Street in Marlton is beautiful and the experience was exceptional. The food has outdone any other Italian in the South Jersey scene. We have our favorites and Allora has moved into 1st place. The Chicken Parm is spot on and absolutely the best in South Jersey. My husband loved the cheesesteak eggrolls and the pizza as well. I loved the rigatoni in blush sauce with breaded chicken. Yum! We recommend Allora to everyone and it's BYOB!!!! Finally a BYOB on Main Street in Marlton! Have dinner here or have a party, but don't miss out. It is truly excellent!

Salmon Allora Pan seared porcini crusted salmon filet finished with house made fig reserve, risotto and spinach
Phylicia H.

Ordered takeout from here this past weekend and didn't have the best experience as I did in the past. Group ordered the clams casino, veal parmesan, veal San Marco and I reordered the salmon allora again. Everything tasted great, but we all agreed that it needed a punch. Lacked a bit of flavor. Ended up adding hot sauce to every single dish, which helped a lot! Ordered a slice of lemon cake, but they forgot to add it in the bag. They were able to easily refund us back rather than driving all the way back to pick it up. Service was good, but food was just okay this time.

Tuna hoagie, you need to manage the process if you want a good sandwich
David K.

Fresh food, nice counter, girl, tuna, tasted good bread tasted good, sandwich lacked composition. I requested hot peppers on my sandwich, and they gave me these strange, not hot, sticky peppers with seeds. Too much bread and tuna, not enough finesse. The back room help is unable to do anything to serve clients, I had to wait until she was free again to give me my sandwich,, babe ridiculous

Our server had every special already memorized and we were one of the 1st patrons for the evening. *Great ambiance. Clean, classy (including white tablecloths) and, as you can see, fall decorations up and popping. *Two thumbs up on the coconut shrimp (the spicy mango was chef's kiss); sweet Italian sausage/cannellini bean/broccoli rabe (the broth was D-LISH); sour dough bread (ALWAYS a fan of that olive oil/seasoning); house salad (SUPER fresh); Caesar salad (would have loved some anchovies ... don't judge me); chicken parm (forgot pic of it *sigh*), and cheese ravioli (quite flavorful for just a cheese filling). My son and his gf have been living in South Jersey for 3+ years and actually lived walking distance from this restaurant for a year, but this was their first time eating here. He was absolutely pleased, which is a good thing ... being the foodie that he is. He says he will definitely add this to their rotation. Totally enjoyable meal. Thanks for the memories Voorhees, NJ. Hoping YOU get a chance to experience their humble establishment. When you do ... tell them you saw it on Yelp!

He took amazing care of us, made great dining suggestions, and has wonderful hospitality and professionalism. The restaurant is very lucky to have him! We tried a variety of things. I recommend the Villaggio Doli and Peach Cosmo cocktails. They were sweet and fruity. The Doli uses infused fresh pineapple! For appetizers, my aunt tried the French onion soup special which she described as earthy and robust. The shrimp cocktail was a delight, with four large and meaty shrimps. The fried calamari was nice and crispy and came with the most amazing sauce. I had the lobster ravioli for dinner, which came with a huge helping of meat packed in each bite. The filet mignon my aunt had was so tender. It cut like butter. It does not come with any sides so you do have to order something separately to accompany the steak. And my uncle tried the eggplant parmesan special which came with their housemade gnocchi. He really enjoyed the freshness of the dish and crispiness of the cheese. We shared the chocolate lava cake and crème brûlée for dessert. Both desserts were divine. We didn't leave a crumb behind. If you're looking for an elevated Italian restaurant in South Jersey, wrapped up in a cozy restaurant with a beautiful fireplace and a gorgeous bar, this would be your place!

For dinner, we ordered the Homemade Lobster Raviolis, Penne Vodka (my love and I split this) and one of the ravioli specials. Everything was delicious. We sat at a high-top table in the beautiful bar area. It was lively and cozy. There was live entertainment but at a comfortable volume. The staff was very welcoming and warm. Even the food runners were engaging. A great time all around!

We ordered the calamari, Trio di Mare, and the grilled salmon, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The complimentary house salad, fresh bread, and cheesecake dessert were all excellent and made the meal feel complete. The atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for a relaxing dinner with family or friends. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the restaurant charges a credit card service fee without informing customers in advance. A simple notice on the menu or by the register would go a long way in avoiding an unpleasant surprise at the end of an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, the food and ambiance make Cucina Carini worth visiting, and I would gladly return.

I rounded down instead of up because of my personal experience that night, but I could see that half star going either way. ANYWHO, Cucina Carini.....a local pizza shop that has an attached dining room that, while pretty small, is also pretty nice. BYOB, which we didn't know heading in, and unless we are missing something, the only beverage options are either water, or whatever YOU bring. (We weren't asked what we would like to drink, nor saw any beverage options on the menu.) SO, water it was, which was fine with ME anyway. ALSO, another thing not listed on the *dine in menu,* is that they DO have a kids menu, which consists of what you would think it does; chicken fingers, fries and the like. We sit and get to work looking over the menu. We land on crab ravioli for me, (crab meat, asparagus & plum tomatoes in a sherry cream sauce), potato gnocchi for The Misses (With spinach & bacon simmered in a gorgonzola cream sauce,) and the chicken fingers meal for The Little One. Entrees comes with soup or salad (soup for her, salad for me). Where CC is losing some points is on service. Our server was fine, but the kitchen was very mixed up. When we sat, our Little One was being a kid, so while getting her situated, we ordered all of the mains. About 5 minutes later, when the server brought the bread over, we asked to order an appetizer of fried mozzarella (which I assumed would be the fresh mozzarella, breaded and fried, but instead was the packaged Sams club type breaded sticks variety..the menu says "Fried Mozzarella, Breaded mozzarella, fried golden crisp & served with marinara sauce. Nowhere does it mention "sticks." *shoulder shrug emoji*). In rapid succession after that, the kids meal came out, and then, and I mean probably 3-4 minutes after ordering the mozz *sticks,* THEY hit the table. Still no soup or salad. The mozzarella sticks were made suspiciously fast. Maybe 15-20 minutes later the ENTREES hit the table. The server does recognize that she never brought the soup or salad, and offers to put them in To-Go containers. *second shoulder shrug emoji* The entrees themselves were good, not great. Decent flavor, but both dishes underseasoned. A little salt would have gone a long way. I had to add parmesan cheese, red pepper flake, and some salt myself to coax a better flavor out of my ravioli. The Misses's gnocchi also needed some doctoring to bring out some true flavor. The kids meal was a generous portion size, but then again, it WAS $13, so..... We decided to actually do dessert, as The Little One wanted cake, and I had seen a picture of the Peanut Butter Bomb, and absolutely wanted to try it. One bomb, and one Lemoncello Cake slice was the order. The Lemoncello cake was good, but again, lacking in deep flavor. You got a hint of lemon, then the rest of the bite was chewing on air. It speaks to the lightness of the cake crumb, but the flavor needs to be punched up. The Peanut Butter Bomb however; no notes. Delicious. Chocolate mousse on top of a peanut butter mousse, on top of a chocolate cookie type base, the whole thing covered in chocolate and peanut drizzle (?) and sprinkled with peanuts. Definitely the best thing I ate here. SO, all things put together, it wasn't a bad night. Service was a little slow, which was only really a problem because we had a squirmy 7 year old. I probably would have appreciated the pace if it were The Misses and I just sipping a bottle of wine. But, the kitchen course timings and mix up, plus the muted flavor of pretty much every dish knocked it down a few pegs. I could see Cucina Carini easily being a 4 star spot and a go-to, "our spot" type place, it just didn't get there for me on my one visit. It's a little far from us, but if I'm in the area, I would definitely give it another shot.
