Allora (One of our Favorites!)

3 1/2 hour lunch! We had such a great time with Karin and George at Allora, 892 Route 73, Marlton, 08053 (856-596-6882) on Saturday, April 22, 2017.

We can't get enough of the bread, which comes with a chimichurri sauce.

We shared the following appetizers:

Suppli - crispy Italian risotto balls over imported San Marzano tomato sauce Roman style filled with meat, fiore di latte mozzarella, and tomato sauce. Tender and flavorful.


Stuffed Artichokes - prosciutto wrapped roman style artichokes filled with house made chicken sausage, broccoli rabe, oven roasted with lemon aglio. Delicious!


Fried Calamari - tender, lightly dusted served with a marinara sauce.


Not on the menu, but Ken requested the chicken sausage with figs, which comes with a crispy round of cheese. We will request this every time we come here!


We also shared the Shrimp and Crabmeat Fra Diablo - spicy goodness!




Karin and Jay shared the Porcini crusted corvina special, which was quite lovely.


We ordered Poppie's salad (instead of the Caesar salad) which came with the special. This salad was a medley of hearts of palm, roasted red peppers, artichokes, olives, Boston lettuce, tossed with a secret balsamic and extra virgin olive oil dressing. Yummy!





George and Ken shared the Veal Saltimbocca.


For dessert, we enjoyed the Lemon cake


and the Salted Caramel Cheesecake


Our server, Summer (and Mark!) was very attentive, even though there was a large party in the next room.

We love coming here! Kudos to Chef Mark!
