Every time I've been there, including last night, the food has been so good I could only wish I had room for more.
Atmosphere
The decor was pleasant. It's a smallish place. I don't need glitz when the food and service are so terrific. Pleasant music at a decent volume made a nice background to conversation at our table.
Service
Service was terrific. Attentive, pleasant, helpful.
Value
Reasonably priced. The food was so good they could have charged more as far as I'm concerned.
Overall
I'm told that the economy has contributed to a drop off in clientele. I say get there before the economy recovers and it again fills up. It deserves to be packed.

Food
Disgusting. So bad we couldn't even stay for dessert.
Atmosphere
The lights were dimmed, probably because the floor looked so FILTHY! It was like they hadn't used a vacuum in a while - yuck!

9/21/2006 - My birthday. We've passed Allison's for years & noted its staying power. So I nominated it for my birthday dinner. Unfortunately, one of the co-owners - who was appetizingly about to bust out of his white chef's jacket - was extremely rude from start: He tried to shift my elderly father from his seat so he could seat more people at an adjacent table. Mind you, there were plenty of other tables around as we arrived at 6:15pm! Next, he neglected to tell us that evening's specials, although he told a family next to us AFTER we ordered! He kept bugging us to order, like he wanted us out of there really fast. The food was tough: The jumbo prawns, chicken & veal dishes. The Merlot tasted dish-water cheap. On top of everything, he refused to turn up the VERY dim lights so my parents could see what they were ordering & eating.
Value
Wine tasted like dirty dish water. Veal, chicken & jumbo prawns were overcooked and very tough.
Overall
THIS IS THE WORST RESTAURANT I'VE EVER EATEN IN...and I've eaten in many many restaurants all over the world!

Food
Exquisite presentation and captures all delicate flavors of Italy, without being overpowered by the usual suspects of Italian fare.
Atmosphere
Inauspicious from the outside - but inside the mood is set with warmly painted walls and comfortable tables. Even the red tile floor in the oversized bathroom makes one feel comfortably welcome.
Service
Friendly and offering welcome suggestions. Never hovering.
Value
Price is right for a romantic comfotable night out.
