Caffe Allegro

My wife and I went out to celebrate our anniversary and chose Allegro mostly because of distance and we feel like it’s a hidden little gem. We got there without reservations and asked if we could sit at the bar until we could get seated and that was the best decision. It really just felt like a date we’d go on before Covid, before having a baby. It was dark, romantic - just the way we like it. We had so much fun sitting at the bar and talking with Cortney. She was an absolute delight - kind, friendly, funny, knowledgeable. Thank you for the chat, Cortney! We ordered a Garden Collins, Margarita which was so unique with Disaronno as an ingredient and the Espresso Martini. All awesome with the Garden Collins being our favorite. The food which you’ll see in the photos was terrific. We were really close to not getting the Chicken Marsala but the server changed our mind and we’re glad she did because it was our favorite part of the meal. The crème brûlée was really good as well - would recommend. They also have another location in La Verne, too, which we now plan on checking out. The worst part of the night was having to see the Celtics win the game against the Heat! =D

Service was top-notch. They have Pomona Queen on tap and make a great expresso martini. Very friendly and attentative staff. Happy hour was $4 off cocktails and specifically priced appetizers. The bacon wrapped dates and calamari were delicious.Food: 5/5

This used to be my favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, over the last few months each time I visit I have a different experience. Sometimes the food is great like it used to be and sometimes it is not good at all. They have been inconsistent in the quality of the food and they have raised their prices to levels that seem somewhat unreasonable for the location and menu offerings. I expect to pay over $20 for a plate of just pasta no meat added in Claremont, but I don't expect that kind of price from a restaurant on a side street in Upland. This location used to have the best chicken fettuccine, but the increased prices and inconsistent quality makes it not worth taking the chance of a less than great experience by dining here. The garlic bread is delicious when it is served hot. Overall I cannot recommend this place anymore, but if you do dine here I hope it is one of the times that they are on their game and the food and service are good.

I just had the best sit-down meal in Upland this year at Allegro. This spot has been here for years, and sometimes I forget that this cute little Cafe serving Italian bistro style cuisine is still one of the most solid spots to eat in town. All the dishes I tried were cooked perfectly. And when I type perfectly, I mean flawlessly. The tastes on the clam & mussels starter, soups & salad, our main courses were all mouth-enlightening. Impressive, from the al dente on our pastas, all the way down to the crust on the crème brûlée. Cafe Allegro doesn't take reservations, first come first serve. Getting there around 5pm, the server sat us right by the front window so we could watch downtown Upland bustle around post-holiday and then light up into the night. Vegetarian options: Soups, salads, pastas and starters all have meatless options on their menu. The minestrone was great, very fresh tasting.

Amazing food and service ! This place never disappoints!!Food: 5/5

This place has changed so much over the last couple of years. Menu and happy hour specials need to be updated on the website. Our server was good, food was alright not like it used to be, hostess had such an attitude.Food: 3/5

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out! Amazing dinner with great service! From drinks to paying the tab everything was amazing! I highly recommend the chicken piccata - but bring your appetite! The bread was a perfect touch, three kinds - all delicious!! Visit soon!
