Wednesday 28th of July.
Today we ventured to Allora, fine Italian dining.
Place is hella small and to get good seating you need to arrive in a appropriate time or call ahead and book a table.
Since this was a lunch I decided to go for a business meal, which is basically main course, starter and soft drink for the price of the main course. Alloras business lunch is a bit misleading, by soft drink they mean tap water, OJ or lemonade, if you want a soda or any other beverage it is extra.
For a starter I decided to go for a antipasti. The antipasti was ok, nothing special, whenever you have antipasti in a Italian restaurant you tend to expect more then from a local cafe. Antipasti is a Italian dish and should be at its peak in a Italian dining establishment, it was not, it was small and the flavor was rather plain. It barley tickled my belly, like I am a big guy and not some tiny midget. By now it was time for main course I decided to have Chicken scallop, chicken breast in a cream sauce with sweet potato. I had it before and this is tasty shit. When the food came I_Masturbate_With_Mayo's dish was overflowing with sauce and mine barely had any sauce on it. I asked about it and they said that all the sauce was in the chicken, same bullshit answer as last time. I ask for some more sauce and after a few minutes received another batch of sauce. Without the extra sauce it sucked with the extra sauce it was tasty.
As for going back to Allora it might be a while. The waitress was really sweet and helpful and made this luncheon quite nice. It is not he fault the chef is a crack smoking blind man that can not put the same amount of sauce on two exactly the same size dishes.
I would give this Lunch 2 out of 5 falafels.
