Allegro Italian Kitchen - Little Italy in Edmonton

I am immensely grateful to the Allegro Italian Kitchen Team and its dedicated owner, Jack, whose commitment to the community has been unwavering for over 30 years. Allegro s attentive staff and exquisite cuisine set the perfect stage for our gathering, creating an atmosphere that allowed us to delve into powerful discussions on sustainability.

Great Family Owned Place . Always good food and service . Their pasta is amazing

The food hits everytime

I was flabbergasted! I didnt know what to expect but the seafood was impeccable. I will definitely be back with my mom for mothers day

The food was amazing! Service, top notch! The vibe was comforting and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!

What a lovely experience!

Amazing experience and night! I will definitely be back. Thank you!!

Amazing food & ambiance! Definitely give here a try especially if you love good authentic Italian food.

Excellent food and service. I will be back very soon

Amazing little restaurant! Cozy, welcoming, intimate space with delectable, authentic Italian and Ethiopian dishes. Im glad Ive found this spot.

Excellent all around! Ask for the Ethiopian Menu!!!

Amazing good food

The food was excellent. Deserving of 5 stars. The shrimp appetizer was super delish, lots of juices to sop up with the amazing buns. There were 11 of us, nobody was disappointed in their choice. They didn t have the cheese for one of the appys so we doubled up on the shrimp. Good choice. The restaurant is small but roomy enough. Furnishings a little worn but that did not affect the quality of food. The owner is the cook and he absolutely knows what he s doing. Will go back if we pass through that area again.

Excellent choice for a meal, a true hidden gem of core Edmonton. I intend to return in the future!

A place you can enjoy with your friends and family. Good service and delicious food.

AMAZING! The food was great, the wine was great the pasta has my heart. Server Jennifer was great, she was so kind and welcoming. She knew everything about the menu and wine selections. 10/10 highly recommended! Kid-friendliness: High hairs available

All ways a magnificent culinary experience to enjoy the delectable food served at this establishment.

Really gross, poorly kept/maintained, what the hell happened to this place?! More dive bar than restaurant.

It had been a few years since we visited the downtown location by the legislature, so my wife and I decided to check out 95th street. First of all, the pre-dinner bread is just as we remember, piping hot, crusty and soft. We noticed that there was an Ethiopian menu, so instead of the Italian we intended for, we got the meat platter with pita - amazing! Spicy, flavourful, and filling. The service was awesome and the price was really good. Topped it off with their signature Tiramisu. Really nice change of pace and will be back!

Greeted warmly by Jack and taken to our favorite table. Excellent food, attentive server and great value

Great place to meet friends

The owner cooked the food and it was the best pasta I ve ever had way better than Olive Garden and the home made dessert was delicious 5 stars!!!

I came in with my family in December. We were expecting everything to be so much better because its small but all my food tasted like was vodka.

Cute little restaurant, the food was okay but not a flavorful as I was expecting.

Always sooo delicious! Pasta special was amazing- coconut curry cream sauce with prawns and salmon Jack also had us try some samplings from the Ethiopian menu was also very good! Food : 5/5

Great food ! Great service

Boyfriend and I had lunch here and it was hands down the best meal weve ever had. Everything was seasoned perfectly and super fresh, salmon pasta was amazing. Highly reccomend, service was also very attentive. Great bang for your buck, wasnt overpriced.

Its was best choice to me when I come to this little Italy area and obviously I think about coffee - where I can get better offer) Allegro have a great local atmosphere Relax and enjoy + European Soccer to watch available

One of our favorite places. I love that you can order Italian or Ethiopian! The staff are fantastic and the special is always great!

Hidden gem! Great food & amazing staff

Apart of the restaurant being in little Italy. it wasnt very good Italian food. Service was awful, and the cannelloni seemed store bought. Food

Its fairly small but the service was great and the food was excellent. Highly recommend trying it if have a chance

Hidden gem, great food, great date place!

Rely on google reviews, we found this place on our short visit to Edmonton. Food was delicious, definitely will come back again if we have a chance. Perfectly seasoned, not shy with ingredients and seafood, the price is quite reasonable as well. Service was good also. Highly recommend this place.

Authentic Italian restaurant. Liked the way they greet customers. Food was worth trying, might visit again.

after we reserve for didn t have table even didn t ask apologize

My name is Yohannes . We came in for a brief vacation with my wife and very close family friends to Edmonton. As we were guests to the city we gooled for a Habesha restaurant. We found Mesob and Allergo restaurants On 95st. We chose Allegro. Good and respectful waiter/server. Menu we chose habesha cusuin over western. WOW THE FOOD WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVER I/WE DINNED IN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS [ SPECIALLY THE QUANTA TBSI( CHA CHA]. ON THE WAY BACK TO CALGARY OUR CONVERSATION WAS DOMINATED BY THE TESTE OF FOOD IN ALLEGRO. WE PROMISED TO COME BACK TO ALLEGRO IN OUR NEXT VISIT. GOOD JOB DEAR OWNER NEGA AND STAFF. FROM ALL US YOHANNES, LETEKIDAN, NATI AND BUBA.

The best authentic Italian food.

Food is very good. Location is ok.

A classic Italian restaurant. Friendly service. I dont know why it took me so long to come here. Ive lived in Edmonton my entire life and this place has been highly recommended many times over the years. Warm and delicious meals cooked with love!

Authentic delicious food! The staff is friendly and super helpful! And please try the coffee 10/10

Went on a friday night. There were tables of men drinking loudly like at sports bar, we couldnt hear above them. And left because of them. Pasta was good. Will never return. This has a totally different vibe from the other downtown location that is closed.

Our Waitress was the sweetest. Very attentive and made sure we had all that we need. The food was soo good I had to do a take away

Very nice, very quiet little place.. food and service is awesome

Excellent food.

Food is still great but the atmosphere is not great.

Great pasta and awesome staff will be back

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Food was fantastic! Thanks for an enjoyable experience!

Never here

Great food

Service was very good, food excellent and good house wine Will go again even if it is a 20 min drive.Some things are worth driving a little ways for.

Just ordered 2 trays of pasta to go to feed a large group, Penne Arabiata and one of Spaghetti also a tray of salad and bread on the side. Extremely reasonable pricing and delicious as always, wouldnt expect any less as Allegro has never let me down yet. Grazie!!!!!

Went for dinner on valentines day, food was delicious and cooked to perfection, service was amazing and the staff was super friendly.. although gave us a used pack of butter and fogot one of our starter salads. Would definetly go back though :)

Beautiful Valentines day dinner! A little pricy but well worth it.

Tasty Italian food and a very pleasant and intimate decor.

Awesome minestrone soup!

Great food

Wonderful cafe that will even allow non paying customers access to their washrooms, only to suffer abuses from them.

Good food, good service sometimes a little loud but I enjoy coming here because I know a lot of people here.

Great food and super friendly service.

The food is OUTSTANDING . True Italian Cuisine!!! Its all about the DELICIOUS meals when you visit the Allegro Italian Kitchen. Ive been here 4 times so far and they never disappoint. The owner learned his craft in Italy and brought it to Edmonton for us to enjoy!!!

They havt a good food

Great value and tasty food. Well keep coming back and enjoying the great service and amazing food. Hidden local foodie gem.

We came for Italian menu but ended up ordering off the Ethiopian menu fantastic. The lamb and beef offerings were exceptionally flavourful and served with a salad and feta. Great and friendly service. Perfect portions. Highly recommended.

Treats their staff like garbage. Yells at staff and belittles them infront of customers. Extremely unprofessional. Will not eat here again.

If I could leave 0 stars i would! Owner treats staff like garbage, will not return.

Wow. The way you treat your staff is pathetic. I would never eat here again.

Was in here the other day. The owner was very unprofessional and yelling at his staff. His server was doing a phenomenal job and he belittled her to the fullest. Everyone I know will be hearing about this and boycotting the restaurant now.

Try the lasagna. Its really good!

This is probably the best value for good food in Edmonton. Fabulous meal at a great price.

Had lunch there today for the first time and it was delicious. Excellent service, too.

Always 5 star

Two stars because the food is good. Stand at the door for ten minutes while waitresses watch videos on customers phones. Finally a regular comes in and tells the owner whos having a beer someone is here to find out the prices are 25% more expensive than on the website. What happened this place used to be great.

The atmosphere was relaxing. Food was second to none. They were very accommodating. Server & chef were both incredible,they bent over backwards for us. This was our first visit but will definately not be our last

The food is amazing and my girlfriend and I had a great experience both times we went here. Meals come with complimentary bread that is perfectly light, fluffy and served warm. We had the minestrone soup as an appetizer, which was delicious as it was clear the vegetables were all freshly cut. Despite the food being so delicious, the prices are very good for the portion sizes, and is slightly cheaper than your average mid-range restaurant. Everything here is made to order, the atmosphere is generally private and relaxing and makes for a great date night location.

A great date night spot!

Went here for supper for the first time today with friends and had a great time. Our server was very attentive and friendly. It was quiet on the weeknight which was expected. The food was delicious, with large well-prices portions. I ordered the cannelloni and opted for both the marinara and mushroom sauces (recommended!). The server brought us a complimentary tiramisu and cheesecake which was very thoughtful - both were very tasty as well. For Italian food in YEG s Little Italy, check out Allegro!

Amazing food! Wow

A very nice place to meet friends

Food and service were so good and they have the most adorable decor/wonderful atmosphere! Definitely a hidden gem in Edmonton we will be making a new regular spot.

Anyone Craving a good seafood pasta, this is the place to have it

The Chef at this restaurant was so good to me and my mom. The food here is amazing. I would recommend this restaurant only if you want the best of Edmonton! Both locations have always been a 5 star meal! Enjoy! :)

Nice chill spot great service too

Just bought a fake tiramisu, tastes old cheese cake, no coffe flavour or any cocoa in a it. Called to let them know Ibwas told thank you. Dont sell fake products!!

Good food, fast service and decent price

The cantoni is worth a visit to experience! Keitha an excellent server and friendly.

Amazing price for the breakfast. Tasted great and was open early

Great food and excellent service, Tried lamb shank served with Macaroni and Salad

Very Delicious well cooked meal go back any day

Excellent food & Excellent Service. tnx Adam.

Excellent customer service and good value for the amazing food.

Fantastic food, excellent service, great with the kids!

Amazing staff and service. Best part is the food. Delicious and filling. This is a hidden jem is a must see. Highly recommend.

Very quaint and cozy dining room. Smells great with the sents of fresh Italian food cooking. I went with two other friends and we were all equally impressed. I tried the veal canelloni because many years ago when I worked for Sorrentos this was my favourite dish and the staff here told me its better here. Because it was so long ago that I had not had it at Sorrentos it not really fair to compare but this canneloni was very good! I tried it with both tomato sauce and mushroom sauce. My other friend had pizza and it was also very good. I recommend this restaurant. Sorry I forgot to take pictures but wish I hadnt.

Food and service was excellent. Small cozy restaurant very nice decor, menu has good choices and very reasonable priced.

Very good place, I recommend it.

The staff and everyone involved were very polite considerate and fast, reccomend to everyone

Ive been living back in this area of Edmonton for almost 2 years and I went here too watch my favorite CFL team play tonite (Eskimos of course) first time I went inside ...I was alone but felt very welcomed by 2 customers a awesomeness server and even had a shrimp...it was a wonderful experience...looking forward too my next visit ..ty very much for making me feel welcome...

Great food and wonderful service!

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in downtown Edmonton, the food is very consistent, if you ever need a good pasta check this place out 100%

This place is our favorite, we go there every week. We loved it so much that we even had our wedding and wedding reception there. Staff extremely friendly and service is great. Food is absolutely delicious!

ordered linguini seafood big serving of seafood such as prawns, squid, clams, and mussels noodles were al dente just perfect seafood were cooked just right great server nice ambiance a very satisfying meal finished with an Italian blend coffee

Constantly closed, they keep very bizarre hours. The staff are a bit unfriendly and dont seem to have the best communication skills. Could not really understand what our waiter was saying. Try the downtown location, much better food and service.

Very nace place, warm atmosphere and tasty food.

Best steaks in Little Italy, hands down! Great prices, great servers. What more do you need?

Quaint little place just outside of downtown with delicious pasta and a cozy environment. My friend and I have been twice and have yet to have a bad meal here

Excellent Italian food.. Fresh made pasta and Delicious Marinara sauce.. Next time I will have to try Salad.. They are Huge

The worst service 1 waiter for the whole restraunte l9oked like he was on speed . Worst service ever good to salty dont go there what a disappointment

Food was good I got a good service

Great food. Friendly. Good prices.

Awesome food, great company!!

Terrible service. Good food though. Shady neighborhood.

Mmm

Its a family style Italian restaurant, they have great chicken parmigiana and a good atmosphere.

Atmosphere is great and the service was good! Reasonably priced as well but I ordered the calmari and it was way too salty. My friends had some pasta and enjoyed it. I will go back and try something else for sure to give it a second chance!

Great food and excellent service. Love the bread!!

Awesome food. Fresh ingredients and large portions for the price they charge. Fresh delicious bread with oil & vinegar brought to your table. Decent wine list. Local people own (and cook from scratch). Friendly and genuine service!

So good !!

Friendly service, delicious food, comfy chairs. Perfect place for a relaxing night out with friends or a significant other.

Very good food and nice staff. Ordered the chicken parmesan and another dish I cant say cause Im not Italian...lol. Both were very good. Guys watching tv could be quieter and tv could be turned off for better atmosphere but good place. Would recommend.

Tasty Italian bites, menu was limited to a few pasta classics and entrees. Everything we had was delicious. Followed by some tasty refreshing sodas.

Awesome Italian food!

Food isamazing. Service is slow but friendly. Would be fantastic if you would open early (say 3? When the game starts at 5) for Saturday Eskimo football crowd. You will find a lot of loyal fans will keep you full.

Great place and great food. I would recommend this place forsure.

Delicious food and very friendly service. If you want good eats for a reasonable price I would recommend Allegro any day

If you are looking for Italian food dont go to this place. We were extremely disappointed in our meals. I dont know what type of noodles they use but my lasagna was like soggy bread, had no flavor and was drowning in sauce. The cannelloni was such a small portion and the sauce was like mushroom soup poured on top. This location should be ashamed to use the Allegro name nothing like the downtown location at all. The only thing that was good was the bread they served before our meal. Very disappointing!

Great food and service

I have been to the restaurant and found the food excellent. There is one problem that is consistent with the 108 Avenue & 95 Street location and that is when you make a reservation and confirm the details with a staff person you find the restaurant closed for no apparent reason on the day of the reservation. This has happened to us on two other occasions, BUT on Friday, December 8th, 2017 there were 12 patrons who arrived at around 11:45 a.m. for their reservation time of 12 Noon only to find the restaurant closed with no lights on. They waited for approx. 30 minutes, knocked on the doors but to no avail and even called on the phone - no one answered. A group of senior women were among those with reservations, one called the restaurant later in the afternoon only to hear a representative (Owner?) state that he was on site at noon and opened shortly after noon, which was a non-fact. He was very rude to the senior woman and did not apologize either. This restaurant has a very good name in the City, but these types of situations diminishes their reputation.

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, good pasta. Have the calamari; its fantastic!

Loved the restaurant - clean with a comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Very good service and the food was delicious. Can t wait to go back again!

Four and a half stars. Excellent restaurant. Great service and fantastic food Seafood soup has wonderful flavour and is filled with clams, mussels and prawns. So good that we took an order to go. Caesar salads were so fresh that we thought the lettuce was harvested as we put in our order. Seafood pasta was also fantastic with wonderful tomato based sauce and generous portion of calamari, prawns, clams and mussels. The double espresso was well above average. Very highly recommended.

You have to try the pizza! Its not on the menu (its a secret item) but theyll make it for you. I can honestly say its the best pizza Ive had in Edmonton. The crust is PERFECT. Of course the other menu items at Allegro downtown are equally fantastic, but as a pizza fanatic, I urge you to try theirs. The staff is so friendly and lovely, its always a pleasure to go to Allegro to have a late night drink and nibble, or a romantic date at a more reasonable hour! TRY THE PIZZA!

Great value. Amazing veal / chicken parmigiana and pasta with marinara sauce. Great Caesar salad and classic Italian shrimp appetizer in white wine. Cheaper than youd expect.
