The main entree was Chicken Cristin. I ordered it over pappardelle. It had two pieces of white chicken meat in a sherry wine sauce. It was covered with spinach, mozzarella, artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. It was delicious. For dessert I ordered the Gelato. The said 3 scoops of gelato, however it was 3 small spoonfuls. Order 3 different flavors. Except for the espresso, they all tasted the same. Not worth the money. The meal was very good, disappointed in the dessert I ordered. Service was good and they had off street parking. Would have given it 5 stars except for my dessert .

We went early around noon and we hit the timing great there was no one there but after we started eating the people were coming in. We were served garlic knots with pesto and I am not fond of calamari so I asked if anyone wanted mine they said yes but honestly everything but the calamari was delicious. The calamari was quite rubbery. The clams mussels scallops and shrimp were delicious. It would be nice if they served a small salad with the meal. The wait staff were very nice and efficient noticing if our waters needed to be replenished.

I've had the Chicken Marsala from their lunch menu, which was flavorful, well balanced, and generously portioned. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It is usually quiet during lunch so it's a good place to catch and have a good conversation. They also offer some specials according to their website including Ladies' Night on Tuesdays from 3:00 pm to closing, and Happy Hour Monday through Thursday from 3:00-6:00 pm. Even though it's been a little while since my last visit, Cafe Fiore is a place I remember positively and would return to.

What a disappointing dining experience. Cafe Allegre, formally Cafe Lafayette was once Madison's…read moreequivalent to the " Gris" in Essex. I had countless delicious meals over the years here with my parents and grandparents. While here in Connecticut Bruce and I decided to dine here this evening. We like to dine out often and love the variety of options here in Connecticut. We had high hopes for Cafe Allegre. What a miserable experience and a total rip off. We opted not to have any alcohol and instead had two hot teas. We ordered the artichokes for a starter. A scattering of over fried dry lumps, no sauce with a minuscule piece of parsley and a small piece of shaved carrot. Bruce and I ordered the Ceasar salad with a double portion of chicken. Although the waitress said the salad was entree size portions, the amount of salad, tasteless rubbery chicken all served on a small luncheon size plate was shameful. $12.99 for the salad and $8.99 for a half a bite of extra chicken! I had the waitress remove my meal and she took it off our tab. I was expecting her to bring something else out or give me a menu but she never bothered. Evidently she thought I said I didn't want anything else. By the time she returned, Bruce had finished his salad. Really? The waitress thought I was fine just sitting there with no dinner? Needless to say her tip was equivalent to the service. So for $66.51, with no alcohol and no dessert, just one luncheon size salad, this was a supreme rip off. When a dish is returned to the kitchen the manager should have gotten off his ass to come over and address the problem and to see how to rectify the experience. Nothing. I left hungry and angry. Rest assured a scathing review will be left on Yelp along with my phoning the owner to voice my displeasure. Now perhaps this post comes across as my being an arrogant demanding patron. Bruce and I have had some amazing dinners and also some less than wonderful. I always try to cut the restaurant some slack. Food services is not an easy job. But when you charge these prices it's important that they know when customers are displeased.

Also, the crab cake was the best I've had in New England (sorry but still not as good as the Baltimore crab cakes of my childhood). The seafood risotto was spectacular.
