We subscribe to the philosophy that good food takes time.

Our dishes are prepared completely from scratch using both local and imported Italian products. We use the freshest seasonal produce, seafood and meats to prepare the dishes served at Alloro. Handmade ravioli, taglierini, paparadelle, and lasagna are just a few of the pastas we make. With a large selection of antipasti, choice salads, local Pacific seafood and robust grilled meats, a meal at Alloro Wine Bar & Restaurant is one to be savored.
