Allegria Italian - EXTON

I must respectfully disagree with the previous customer's opinion. My husband and I experienced exceptional service; the staff made us feel completely at home. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date, and the food is the best authentic Italian cuisine I've ever tasted. While it is a bit on the expensive side, I believe it's worth it, especially since they don’t charge a corkage fee. It’s also worth noting, as mentioned on their website, that they don't have a children's menu. Since it’s a smaller establishment, I think patrons should be more understanding of their unique setup, as they are not part of a chain. I highly recommend Allegria for a lovely date night with your partner, along with great food and attentive service.

We requested spaghetti with butter for our son and rigatoni with vodka sauce for our daughter (without shrimp). While we were told that the vodka sauce rigatoni was available, we were informed at 6 p.m. on Saturday that they were out of spaghetti. So, we ordered rigatoni with butter for our son instead. When our bill arrived, we were surprised to see we were charged $19.95 for the rigatoni with vodka sauce, despite our order not including shrimp, and $15.95 for the rigatoni with butter. When we questioned the prices, we were told that it didn’t matter that we ordered it without shrimp; the price remained the same, and that $15.95 was indeed the cost for the rigatoni with butter. Overall, we felt grossly overcharged for simple pasta dishes. The veal dishes my wife and I ordered were $25.95 each, and they were only mediocre. For a BYOB restaurant where we had two kids' meals with milk, two adult meals, one shared appetizer, and one shared dessert, our bill totaled $140 before tip. Our advice is to dine elsewhere. We felt deceived by this restaurant and have no intention of returning. We can enjoy much better meals at a lower price at multiple other restaurants in our area that prioritize customer satisfaction over this overpriced BYOB establishment.
