Italian spot Allora this week will launch a new happy hour menu.
Allora’s La Dolce Vita Happy Hour will run 4-6 p.m., seven days a week. The happy hour menu will include cocktails and complimentary snacks such as chips, olives and almonds. To make way for the happy hour, Allora's last lunch service will take place this Tuesday.
Folks looking for an Italian lunch spot will be able to shift to the restaurant's sister location, Arrosta, to fill that need.
Now helmed by Allora executive chef Robbie Nowlin, Arrosta has reinvented its full-service lunch menu, which will offer both items from its dinner menu along with a pair of panini sandwiches.
When it
opened in February under the direction of Maverick Texas Brasserie chef Chris Carlson, counter-service Arrosta offered a menu of rotisserie meat, savory sides and house-made breads. This spring, it
expanded to offer heartier entree items with longer dinnertime hours.
In September, Carlson left the restaurant, and Arrosta welcomed a new
capitano in Allora chef Nowlin. He reimagined the casual spot's direction to one he calls “comfort Italian” and debuted a dinner menu along with a revamped service model.
