Allora by da Soli

For our monthly lunch, we met friends Karin and George at Allora by da Soli, 892 Route 73, Marlton, NJ 08053 (856-596-6882), on Saturday, September 30, 2017. Although there was a large group in the next room (75+!), we had an enjoyable 3 hour lunch. Our server, Nika, was attentive, even though she had to help out with the large group.

Ken devoured the bread!

We shared many plates:

Fried Calamari and Suppli (not on menu - we asked for it!)

Caesar Salad, which was very refreshing...

Lobster Ravioli

Jay enjoyed the Spinach Egg Drop Soup with Chicken Sausage special...

Ken and George had to share the Veal Saltimbocca

Jay and Karin shared the Crispy Brussel Sprouts

Ken and George enjoyed the coffee...

The Caramel Apple Cake with Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream and the Sicilian Lemon Cream Cake were both moist, delicious, and flavorful.
