To our wonderful customers and friends, 

It has been a wild ride since we moved in all the way back in 2015. Many glasses of wine were poured, thousands of pizza's were made and amidst the dreaded fire and what felt like endless lockdowns we always felt the love and support from every person who visited. 

It's with a heavy heart and a tear in our eye that we announce that this Saturday the 18th of December is our last night together. It was a difficult decision to make but we know that Allora's legacy will live on forever with her new owners next year. 

We have loved meeting and getting to know you all, sharing our love for Italian food and good old fashioned hospitality. Playing records on a Saturday night with our regulars at the bar, hosting birthdays, anniversaries and even a wedding! So many special moments that we will cherish forever. 

To Jonny, Paulie, Indi and Harry - We will never forget your passion and dedication especially keeping things up and running during lockdowns. You will forever be a part of our family. 
Parting is such sweet sorrow, but we know that it's not goodbye forever.. Just "Ciao xo" 

Renee and Jason (and Allora xoxo)
