Chef Salvatore Corea of Cacio e Pepe puts experimental spin on classic Italian. Cod with coffee powder, tilapia and ricotta with cinnamon, pork in honey and peperoncino. Menus shift seasonally, with high-end formaggi e salumi to start you off. Digs every bit as original, right down to the pesto-green floor. Small bar, lively back dining room, groovy two-tone sconces will have you feeling like you're in a Kool Cigarettes ad circa 1965.

Best new UES Italian

Posted by bdubbs on Saturday, June 20, 2009

In a neighborhhod filled with run of the mill italians, Alloro is a standout. Great design, solid service, gourmet presentation and delicious food. This place is an anomaly in the hood and most welcome to someone who lives on the UES but spends most of their time downtown. This is my new UES italian go-to. I also tried the free dessert perk noted above and it worked! Nice.
