Allora to bring a taste of coastal Italy to Spring Street

The new coastal Italian concept is set to open in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, offering rooftop dining, all-day coffee, and gelato.

A set wooden table displays an array of dishes: pasta with clams, fresh salad, bone marrow, crusty bread, cocktails, and chips, creating a vibrant, rustic, and inviting dining experience.

Executive Chef Ryan Jones’ menu is packed with some mouth-watering options.

Get ready to book your reservations. On Wednesday, Oct. 1, Allora will officially open its doors. The Cannonborough-Elliottborough spot will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and offer a coastal Italian menu with a southern touch, rooftop dining, all-day coffee, and gelato.

Fun fact: the ingredients will be sourced both locally and from Italy, including juicy Amalfi lemons and varieties of cheese.

We can’t wait to try Executive Chef Ryan Jones’ clam linguine made with fresh pasta or the Mediterranean octopus with pickled chilies. Beverage Director Ty Halliday has a Fiore di Amalfi sip on the menu featuring gin, limoncello, Italicus, and soda, which sounds delicious. Oh, and the signature espresso martini topped with honey pistachio foam and shaved dark chocolate — yum.

The spot will also offer a rooftop bar and streetside espresso and gelato via a walk-up window, even featuring puppuccino treats for the pups.
