Allelo
300 Beach Dr NE., Ste 128
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Downtown St. Petersburg
This is our second restaurant on Beach Dr NE, after Parkshore Grill.
Definitely will return: it’s better than Parkshore Grill next door.
It has a sizable outdoor section that looks out to Tampa Bay, with sofas and regular tables. The indoor decor is tasteful, dominates by a big mural, which was done by artist Annette Gloomis (?). High ceiling, with three exposed fat pipes. Fresh flowers on the tables, handbag hooks under the tables.
Allelo is short for Allelomimetic -> allelomimetic behavior.
Stems, tableware and utensils are all really good: especially they use smaller spoons for desserts – thank you!
We’ve 4 glasses 2021 red from three countries:
- Portuguese Touriga Nacional Herdade do Rocim: smooth, the best of the three
- French Syrah Domaine Faillenc St Marie Corbières: ok
- Spanish Garnacha Camino de Navaherrero Bernabeleva: too dry
The asparagus (sunflower, aleppo, pecorino butter) is yummy. The sauce is light and lively. Too bad we weren’t hungry after the big lunch at Terra Gaucha.
We’re able, however, to squeeze in a piece of tiramisu – it’s to die for, with prominent dark rum taste; and I love the coarse texture – I don’t like my food being massaged too much. The cake is made in the house.
I like the wall paper in their bathroom too -:)
