Allegro Bistro

We enjoy sitting at the bar enjoying our favorite beverage (a healthy pour)
Having a delicious appetizer and a great pizza Add the terrific jazz from world class musicians. You! can’t beat it

Food was passable, although swimming in greasy tomato sauce, service was awful. Will never come back to this place.

We took friends on to dinner tonight.
Had a great time and the food was very good.
But when I got home a review your bill, I found out that we were charge extra for salads after being told by server that they came with our dinners.
Oh well, our fault,
But he verbally stated they were included with our dinners.
Food was very good.

It used to be good but they seem to have gotten fat and complacent. They took my reservation but did not provide a table. We managed to get seats at the bar. Service was poor and the $ 18 pork shank was served cold and with only a bit of spaghetti. Fortunately, we can go to Landy’s to hear Sonny & Sable and not go back to Allegro ever again.

My family and I were visiting from California and wanted to have some Italian pizza. We walked in and were doubly surprised at the ambience. The food was incredible and the entertainment even better. The music was wonderful to listen to but we couldn’t stay at our table any longer and had to join the youthful crown out on the dance floor. My son’s are 13 years old and 11 years old and they even wanted to take their mom for a spin on the floor. It touched my heart to see my 18-​year-​old daughter get escorted to the floor by each of her brothers because they couldn’t sit down when they heard The wonderful trio serenading them to the floor. We come once a year to Florida and will definitely make sure to come back to Allegro Bistro on Friday or Saturday night for wonderful evening of dinner and dancing.

We have been ordering pizza from here for a couple of years. The last three times have been awful. The first time, we placed our order over the phone. We get there to pick up the pizza and they insisted that we did not place an order. Unhappily, we placed the order again and waited at the restaurant. The second time, we placed our order over the phone which was sausage, mushrooms and peppers (light on the peppers). We get the pizza home and it was pepperoni, peppers and no mushrooms. One of our guests has a problem with pepperoni. (Yes, I know we can take it off. However, the point is that is not what we ordered.) The third time, which was last night, we placed our order over the phone. We get there and they insist that they don’t have our order. My husband insists we placed the order because he was in the kitchen when I phoned it in. He was persistent that we placed the order. The staff got upset with him. However, they kept looking for the pizza. Low and behold they finally found the pizza sitting there. Of course, it was cold.
You definitely have a problem with people taking orders over the phone and then being rude to customers when it is their mistake. There are so many places to get pizza in Venice. Why bother going back here. MY ADVICE, DON’T ORDER PIZZA FROM THIS PLACE OVER THE PHONE. MAYBE DON’T GO AT ALL.

I had my sons wedding reception here. The food was great, the service was great and we loved the atmosphere! We were there on karaōke night. Loved the entertainers. Thank you, Nola…

Great find, I am a part-​time Florida resident and this is definitely one place I will always come back to. Arrived late on Wednesday afternoon so not very busy at all, ordered the ahi tun salad for an appetizer, it was more of a meal, tuna was so fresh, with greens and tomatoes. Very fun atmosphere, décor is unique and noise level was light, reminder it was late afternoon. Service was outstanding everybody was friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable since I was dining alone. I also ordered takeout which did not disappoint. Cannalonni, eggplant parm, including dessert cannoli and Tiramisu all where amazing.

This was the best eating place in the Venice area that we have eating in a long time. The service was fabulous and the prime rib salad was to die for. My wife had the burger and said that British pub was the only close. The fries were excel lab also and beverage refilled when close to empty. This is a 20 star establishment.

This place has some really good food! Fast and very polite service, cheap price, very fun and exciting atmosphere and beautifully decorated!

I would reduce this to 0stars if I could due to a lack of response
I had dinner with a friend the other evening, it was my second time eating here. The first time I had pizza and it was very good
However, this time we were very very disappointed! We both had pasta, mine was with a Russian sauce that was tasty but had pizza sausage as its base. My friend has lemon chicken pasta, the pasta was under cooked and the Chewy rubbery chicken was boiled and tossed on top.
When I asked about the pizza pasta, I was told they did not know and made no effort address my issue ie a discount a comp desert. Server was nice but management did not empower her to make sure clients were happy.

Great lunch experience. Ordered chicken piccata. Delicious. $ 12– came with fresh warm basket of bread and a side salad (greens — no romaine :) topped with homemade italian dressing!
Service was speedy and polite. Ambiance is upscale and inviting. Great place for a group or date.

The food was very good and the waiter did a very good job and took his time to explain the menu. Would recommend it to everyone would go back again

We are regulars at the Bistro and never unhappy with the food or service. I am surprised to read some of the reviews on this site. We dance there on weekends and eat there often. They serve the best Italian food in Venice with good service. A check on some other sites supports my view.

I ate here for lunch by myself and asked the waitress what was good. She recommended the Ahi salad for something lite.
The tuna was mediocre and covered in black and white sesame seeds. The sear was only on one side and the salad greens were clearly prepackaged. The two accompanying sauces were straight from a bottle.
Overall, the food was OK. For $ 12 plus tip I hoped they would’ve added a little imagination to the dish, that’s all.

Atrocious service! We had a large party for lunch and it took a half an hour just to get water. One member of our party didn’t get her food until everyone had FINISHED their food, she said to just bring it to go and the waitress brought it out with a box! Ummmm hello … Everyone has already eaten and now she had to box her meal that she never even ate! And the waitress never even apologized, no I’m sorry for not getting you food while your party of 21 has already eaten! AND she was charged for the whole thing. Ridiculous!
The food was ok, not fresh or anything acceptable. The eggplant was obviously frozen and cooked up with marinara sauce, I could have done that at home. The salad was iceberg lettuce with one wedge of tomato! That’s it! The Pasta e Fagoli was mushy and over salty (from a can?), not good at all especially since we got there at 11:30 right when they opened!
If I could have given ½ star I would have. Poor.

Went there on Tuesday night (4^th) for dinner and to listen to the jazz music. We had made a reservation for 4, but when we got there they had no record of the reservation and had to sit at a table where we were away from the music and preformers. This is the second time that this place has screwed up our reservation. The previous time they gave the reserved table to someone else, eventhough we were there ahead of the reservation time. They have to get their act together on reservations. The food we had was OK, but not great. It took over 17 minutes just to have someone take our
drink order.

Make a reservation in the area where they have entertainment on Thursdays. Great Italian fare. Pleasant décor & efficient staff. Will go again.

Is this really in Venice???
Great Jazz on Thursdays in the stylish lounge area (Shelly Torman).
Food is family style Italian. Mama Valenti runs a tight ship.

Not worth the trouble. Mediocre food at best. Service is slow and the menu is not very creative. Beer selection is nothing special. Seats are uncomfortable, especially after an hour of sitting in them. Pasta dishes seemed pricey. $ 5.00 seemed like a lot to add chicken to a pizza.
