What to Order
Duck with Foie Gras
This dish features perfectly cooked duck, tender and juicy with crisp skin, complemented by the luxurious, buttery richness of foie gras, often paired with creamy risotto.
"The duck was perfectly cooked: tender, juicy, and beautifully seared with a delicate crisp skin. The foie gras added a luxurious, buttery richness that elevated the entire dish."
Andrianna Milchevych
Truffled Mushroom Risotto
A rich and aromatic risotto generously adorned with shavings of wild mushrooms and infused with the distinct fragrance of truffles.
"Truffled Musshroom Risotto had shavings of the wild mushrooms. The dish had the rich aroma of the truffles which we delightfully indulged ourselves with. I highly recommend ordering this dish because no other place makes it quite like Via Allegro."
Cassandra Mae
Prime Striploin
A perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy striploin, served without gravy to highlight its natural flavor and the chef's culinary technique, accompanied by crispy potatoes and nicely cooked vegetables.
"Prime Striploin was cooked to perfection. It was so tender and juicy. We liked how they didn’t have it with any gravy, letting their culinary technique with the steak speaks for itself. The potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside, yet smooth on the inside. The vegetables were cooked nicely."
Cassandra Mae
Octopus Carpaccio
A thinly sliced and flavorful octopus dish, praised for its delicious taste and unique presentation.
"I would come back just for the Octopus Carpaccio. the servers were super nice and friendly specially Bany and Arthur."
Ray
