Wellfleet Oysters


Metro west oyster lovers rejoice! With our patio open and in full swing we are selling dozens and dozens of Wellfleet Oysters! Brought in fresh every morning these prized oysters have an unmistakable cape cod flavor that has been recongnized throughout the world for their briny sweetness. Fortunately for us who live and work in Massachusetts that these delicacies are so readily available and will be on our menu all summer. Come in for a dozen with one of our new beers on tap, or enjoy them on our chilled seafood platter with white gulf shrimp.

"The True Natural"


At Allora we take pride in the quality of products we use in each dish. In today's economy, some restaurants try to cut corners by sacrificing quality. We view this as an opportunity to showcase one of our best assets, our commitment to serve sustainably raised, all natural steaks from Brandt Beef.

Our guests have commented that Allora's 16oz Grilled Strip Steak beats any filet they've ever had, and we couldn't agree more. Care not only goes into the way our steaks are prepared, but also how they are raised. Wine enthusiasts will wax poetically about soil and climate playing a large role in defining how a great wine will taste. The same can be said for all natural beef, organic produce, free range chickens, and artisan cheeses. We feel that now is not the time to cut corners for the sake of saving a few pennies, but to continue investing in what we have done since our inception. Cook great food with the best products we can find and provide our guests with a dining experience that they will want to repeat again and again.

Great Tomatoes! Finally!


Our produce distributor has just started delivering beautiful vine ripened tomatoes after about a two month lag in supply. Nothing goes better with out homemade fresh mozzarella than these Maine beauties. Grown in Madison Maine at Backyard Farms using sustainable technologies, these tomatoes have been greatly missed this winter. We're glad to have them back!
