   The staff is super young and inexperienced. We celebrated our anniversary here and had higher expectations, based on the elevated feel of the rest of Allegretto. Our entrees were very late with no explanation and then it felt like they were trying to clear our plates 5 minutes later. Never offered bread as was on all the other tables and our server was clueless as to how to serve a bottle of wine. Good was pretty good but disappointing experience overall.

   The setting is lovely for sunset. The service was very good. My salmon was was well prepared, with an innovative twist. My husband enjoyed the duck which was not over cooked.

   The outdoor setting is beautiful and calm enough to enjoy the conversation at your table. The servers are attentive and work as a team. My salmon was delicious, as was, my husband’s duck. A most pleasant evening.

    Look over 15 minutes to get any attention after being sat down with a reservation. The busser ended up taking our order (drinks and all). Waiter showed up at the end and tried to charge us for food we did not get (he never helped us so it’s not like he knew what we were eating). I’ve had better service there but this night was nothing special.

    The staff rates a 10 - very friendly and helpful!! I have been there for lunch and dinner and both times the food fell below my expectations. The flavor is there but both times a bit overcooked. Dining on the patio was beautiful - and the table was in a quiet spot as requested. I will definitely go back!!

    First, our server Betsy was wonderful. Second, the food was really good. Especially, the Risotto which may change. We hit the jackpot. My cocktail was also one of the best Manhattans ever.

    This was our second night in a row eating dinner at Cello. The fillet and rib eye dinners were one of the best eaten ever. Kudo’s to the chef!! We had Ethan waiter for us again. We asked for him since he was such a pleasure the night before. Great cocktails also!!!

    Everything was lovely. The place, the food, the service. However, a worker showed up blowing leaves and making a terrible noise that spoiled the experience. Too bad! Management should schedule these services outside of lunch time.

    The “wood fired” pizza was on a flatbread style crust similar to what you can buy in a vacuum pack at Walmart. Not great. Prices are very high for the quality you get.

    This is a classic hotel restaurant, not a place for a special occasion. The hostess was nowhere to be found. When she finally showed up, no greeting but went right to her computer. Before we were seated, she answered a call and took another reservation while we waited. We could not have felt less valued as customers. It was a bit like dining at Disneyland - you shouldn't expect a personal touch. But this wasn't even efficient. Food was OK but average quality. Nothing special and certainly not worth the price charged. Stay away unless this is your only option while staying at the hotel.

    Staff is nice and welcoming. Food was just ok, tasty enough but not 4-5 stars. Thought the restaurant would be a lot nicer inside but it’s more cafe style. Windows looking outside we’re filthy, everything else seemed to be nice and clean. Perfect place to eat if your at the hotel, nothing else around to compete with them.

    Forget this place. It has the ambiance of a hotel coffee shop and the food is appalling. The calamari was barely thawed and coated with a bland powdery “batter”. The sauces were over salted. My pasta carbonara tasted like Campbell’s soup with extra salt and soggy noodles. The pictures and descriptions were deceiving. Nope.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the Cello Ristorante and every food and beverage experience we had at the Allegretto Resort, for that matter. The service was friendly, and the food and drinks were delicious. Most of all, we cannot say enough good things about Tai Loporto, the food and beverage manager here. He went above and beyond to make our stay incredible! He was charming, showed genuine care, and anticipated our needs throughout our stay. Cello Ristorante and the Allegretto Resort are lucky to have him!

    What a disappointment! The restaurant is over lit and unattractive. The food was subpar. My beet salad was a can of beets dumped on a plate. Others at the table are overly dry chicken and overly smoked flavor mussels. Would have expected much better given reviews.

    Service was a bit below what we expected. They sat us at a sunny table, then were delayed in lowering the blind. Took awhile to get waited on, then they were not very timely in clearing the table between courses. All in all, not up to par for the prices and expectation of high end resort dining. Food was adequate but lacked any flair. So overall all too many $$$ for the value received. The grounds and location is lovely.
