At Allora in East Sacramento, we believe ingredients should be more than supporting players. The most extraordinary products deserve to be celebrated as stars—given the room and respect to shine. This October, we’re dedicating our menu and storytelling to the artisans, farmers, and foragers whose work inspires our kitchen every day.
Each layer of our menu is built upon a foundation of trust: in the soil, in the hands that harvest, in the traditions passed down through generations. From the 7th-generation olive growers of Capay Gold, to the Swiss chocolatiers at Felchlin, to the local foragers bringing wild mushrooms from forest to table—our menu is not simply food… It is connection.
These relationships guide how we cook. Chef Deneb, Elizabeth-Rose, and the culinary team often travel directly to producers, walking their fields and cellars, listening to their stories. That respect for origin becomes the language of our dishes. Whether it’s a drizzle of world-class Picado olive oil on our Carne Cruda, heirloom squash or stonefruit from Twin Peaks Orchards, or balsamic aged since 1849 poured drop by precious drop—what we serve is a collaboration between the land, the artisan, and the plate.
As a Modern Italian restaurant in Sacramento with one of the city’s most extensive wine programs—recognized by Wine Spectator—we take pride in pairing sustainable fish, handmade pasta, and seasonal produce with bottles that tell their own stories of place and passion. From rare Italian and Greek varietals to California standouts, every pairing is designed to enhance both ingredient and guest experience.
Sacramento has long been a city of agriculture and seasonality, and Allora’s place within it is one of both gratitude and responsibility. As one of Sacramento’s premier fine dining restaurants, our philosophy is to support local farms, bring the best of Italy to our corner of California, and highlight those who treat food with reverence. This is the lens through which every menu is created.
This month, we invite you to taste the difference that begins long before the kitchen. Reserve your table and experience how extraordinary ingredients, in the right hands, become something greater than the sum of their parts.
