Yay! Food blogging again!
This is actually my 3rd visit to Allegro Cafe, a cozy little Italian restaurant.
This shop is kinda hidden in the row of shop opposite Little Bally Cafe.
Look out for a yellow signboard at the first floor with a little balcony facing front.
Once you stepped in, it gives a very warm and cosy feeling.
It's just a small little restaurant to cater less than 40 pax.
But it's a nice place to chill, and sit back after meal.

As the menu offers whole lot of selection of pasta, pizza, main courses, desserts etc,
we seek for one of the chinese supervisor's recommendation.
Barry ordered carbonara but he said one of their signature pasta is almost
the same as carbonara but it's with wild mushroom, and without egg, so the sauce is thicker.
I was like "SAY WHAT?!! WILD MUSHROOMS?!! OH YESSS!!!"
So we ordered the recommended Tagliatelle with Wild Mushroom.
The sauce is thick, flavorful, cheesy, and makes me wanting more!
Definitely one of the best carbonara-type pasta I've tasted!

I ordered my usual Lamb Shank. Wouldn't miss it in every visit!
Option of pasta or salad as side for the braised lamb.
The lamb shank is tender, and the gravy is yummylicious!
Vince was summoned to order pizza, and so this salmon lover got us Smoked Salmon pizza.

However, among all the dishes we ordered, this pizza is a disappointment.
It is almost tasteless and the salmon is such a waste to be used this way.
Next time try the Quattro Stagioni pizza.
I've tried it, it was good - but bear in mind that it has beef bacon and pepperoni on it.

| slices of smoked salmon, onion and rosemary (RM 30) |
For desserts, we were recommended Zabaione which
has egg white foam and a little bit of wine on it.
The taste of wine is not as strong as expected, but there is a wine aroma in it.
Scoop in deeper and you'll find yourself vanilla ice cream
to blend in with the foam and choco powder.

| Zabaione - egg meringue flavored with Marsala wine or coffee served with vanilla ice cream (RM 12) |
We also ordered the old-fashioned dessert - the tiramisu!
It took them around 20 minutes to serve the tiramisu after clearing our tables.
They might have forgotten about our order.
Not a big fan of tiramisu, to me it taste nice, but doesn't get my taste bud tingling.

Verdict :-
Food : 4 / 5
(smoked salmon pizza not up to par)
Ambiance : 4.5 / 5
Service : 3.5 / 5
(having trouble communicating with one of the waiter
and our tiramisu has been completely forgotten from the order chit)
Price : 4 / 5
(Total bill of RM150++ including coffee and mushroom soup,
the portion is quite small for the price paid)
Address :-
Allegro Cafe
11A, 1st floor,
Jalan SS15 / 4,

We have to wait for almost an hour to get our order. The soup came after 20min waiting and the garlic bread came after we almost done with the soup. The marinara was tasteless. Nothing great with the food. Overall 2.0/5.0.
The food is good...its depend to our taste..
Ouch.. one hour to order? Was it a full house that day?
I've been there three times, and have no issue in waiting time - except for that one time when they completely forgotten my tiramisu. Other than that, my visits was pleasant..
If you decided to give Allegro Cafe another chance, perhaps you can try out their lamb shank. It's my fav.. yuhmmm... :)
