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.

I was here once before with a friend and had the salmon dinner. This time I got grilled salmon. I…read morelike the entree better because it had garlic, capers in white wine sauce and the grilled was bland. It was a good piece of salmon and I did like how it was cooked so that helped. The bartender is busy making drinks for all the tables so you can wait awhile to order. But everybody is friendly so I relaxed, sipped my wine, ate my homemade garlic knots & salad and was happy. Nice place, good food.

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.

There were 5 tables plus some seats at the counter to dine in. We placed our order at the counter and then found a table.

We ordered the garlic bread to start, I ordered the eggplant Panini and my husband ordered a pizza. Everything we tasted was very good and the portions were a nice size as far as the garlic bread and Panini were concerned. The service was very friendly and quick. I look forward to returning to this restaurant to try additional items off of their menu.
