Alloro Cucina Italiana - Grass Valley, California

Ashley A.

The prices are very high for the quality of food that is served. The service has been very very slow and often wait times are over an hour with no staff coming to even refill drinks. The last time I was here, I pulled a hair out of the sauce and there were fingerprints on the edge of the mashed potatoes of the special I tried. (Pictured below) For the high price, I expect far better service and quality than Alloro has been providing recently. It is my hope that they improve by my next visit and I can confidently change this review to be more positive

We had an exceptional dining experience. The food was some of the best Italian we've ever had, and our server was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and helped create a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

100% recommend!!!!!! If you live anywhere near Grass Valley or are passing through you MUST stop & dine here. This is the best Italian restaurant in Nevada county The signs outside of the restaurant may throw you off a bit but this is a truly fine dining experience. My boyfriend & I had our 7 year anniversary here tonight and it was the nicest anniversary dinner we have had in a long time. The staff are the friendliest people I have ever met, they are so kind & accommodating. Every staff member that we met ( a total of 3) made our dining experience that much better. The best part is that besides this restaurant being an old Victorian style house & having authentic Italian ambience... the food will make you melt.

Everything we ate was seasoned to perfection, tender, not too salty & very filling. I can't rave enough about the main entree options that they have to offer. We will be coming back several times & trying more things on the menu.

Thank you again Alloro for the best experience we could have had!

My partner and I ate at Alloro for the first time on New Year's Eve. The food was delicious. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo, a dish I never order because it's usually either too heavy or too bland, or both. I had a feeling about this dish here and it did not disappoint. I also ordered the asparagus soup, very tasty. My partner ordered one of the specials, the crab and lobster ravioli and he very much enjoyed it. We will definitely return.

Wonderful food, decently priced, and good service. Great shrimp risotto + wine 😀. Can't ask for anything better. Tables were pretty close together so conversations aren't private. Otherwise, a nice place to eat!

Absolutely delicious! Service was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and a few of the waitstaff came over to sing a Spanish birthday song with us.
My daughter has celiac and must not have any cross contamination with gluten. The kitchen was very careful to prepare her meal on separate surfaces and cooked her gluten-free pasta in a fresh pot of water.
The atmosphere was very cozy in a renovated historic home.

Always great food and service. Today we went and my husband was looking for chicken parmigiana on the menu. Even though it was not on the menu they made it for him with a big side of fettuccine and it was excellent. House red wine was great. Very reasonable in price. Best restaurant in Grass Valley.

Nice cozy atmosphere with indoor and heated outdoor dining. Excellent service! The staff is attentive and well trained. Wine list is broad, ask for suggestions. Great food serviced in hearty portions so you can share a bite, or two. Creative menu, with good options for appetizers, soups & salads and entrees. Bread is fresh and baked perfectly for absorbing the delicious sauces. Don't skip the classic Italian desserts and coffees.
