Allegria - Carbondale

They sat our family of four at a two top with four chairs. We asked to be moved (we made a reservation), they said no and then proceeded to seat a table without a reservation at the table we had requested. We ordered a salad and it was mealy and clearly made at least a day before. It was a long cry from a caprese salad. Shame. This was my favorites restaurant in the valley for a very long time. Life has pulled us away from the area, but upon our return, we’re looking forward to sharing this restaurant with our family. Bad idea. Received two stars instead of one because they were kind enough to take our mealy caprese off the bill when we asked and our waitress was a doll. Left our wine and moved onto another restaurant. Would rather go to beer works, at least I know what I’m getting.

I was looking forward to dining here, but have concluded I will not return. The atmosphere is great and menu intriguing but when we order salmon, we received something that was not salmon. When we asked about it, the waiter (Jay) said it was “a special salmon that was not like regular salmon”. It was a white fish similar to branzino or tilapia, which is far from salmon. When I pressed, someone other than our waiter came and admitted it was not salmon but rockfish…so we were lied to. After everything, the rockfish and chicken piccata were the same dish with different proteins.I would not return because the service was unprofessional and even after the admission, no one apologized or came forward to ask if there was anything that could be done.If you are out of salmon, just say it’s not available; simple as that.

The miso cod special was SPECIAL! Delicious. Don’t miss the tiramisu and cremw brûlée!

This restaurant is not good. The food is way over priced for what it is and the quality of the said food. Food was bland tasting and I had the lasagna which is not hard to make and it was gummy and tasteless. The servers were nice and did a good job however they seemed to be trained to specifically find ways to up-charge you and make you buy more. The atmosphere is okay but other than that I would not recommend. Also they charge you for water which is not something that happens normally. We were charged 60 minimum for water.

Benoit has done a beautiful job : the team is outstanding, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is elevated. It's not cheap but neither is the product. Worth every penny every time. (Also the cocktails and wine are exceptional!
