I enjoyed a wonderful evening of food and fellowship at Cafe Allegre. As a visitor from the Midwest, I was lucky to have my first dining experience here with some local business associates who provided excellent recommendations. Mussels Siciliana was a wonderful beginning. I could have easily made this my meal with a side of pasta. I followed up with a rich French Onion Soup - a special offering on the night of my visit. Others in the party delighted in the Artichoke Hearts Milanese. My main entree was Chicken Siciliana which included sauteed chicken breast in a spicy white wine sauce with gnocchi. Quite delicious.

Although at this point I had eaten plenty, I could not say no to desert. At the suggestion of our host, I ordered a specialty of the house - a Tartufo, I believe, with vanilla and chocolate gelato formed in a ball around a cherry and then covered with hardened dark chocolate and served with whipped cream. What a great way to end the meal.
