I tried oysters for the first time at 11 years old. I was at my mother’s company brunch and I almost lost my mind when I saw the tower of seafood at one of the stations. My mom was skeptical, giving me the lowdown on the texture and taste and warned me that I might not like them. Well, she was wrong. He he

There are many places to enjoy oysters in Sacramento, but my favorite restaurant to enjoy them is Allora. Located in East Sacramento right on Folsom Boulevard, Allora showcases local ingredients with the spirit of Italy in their dishes. Chef Deneb Williams and Sommelier Elizabeth-Rose Mandalou (also married 🙂 ) have created magic with Allora, combining their love for Italian culture and their home base of Sacramento to bring a truly unique dining experience for us all to enjoy.

Oysters are always on the menu at Allora, but their $1 Oysters on Tuesdays (until they run out) pull me in often because let’s be real, I could enjoy dozens of oysters on my own. With National Oyster Day knocking on our doors, they have pulled out all the stops on the different types of oysters they are offering!

Celebrating National Oyster Day at Allora

My friend Maria and I were able to come in to learn about (and by learn, I mean, enjoy) the special oysters that are available right now, and in celebration of National Oyster Day!

The Oyster Varieties

Italian Rockefeller Oysters

With pancetta, kale, parmesan, and anchovy. If you can’t handle raw oysters, these are your jam.

Composed Oyster

With melon granita with compressed cucumber and radish. This refreshing oyster tastes like summer and was a nice alternative to a traditional raw oyster

Oysters and Caviar

Oysters on the Half Shell

These options are available through August 5th

On Monday, August 5 (National Oyster Day)

As if Tuesday’s $1 oysters weren’t a sweet enough treat to start a new week, the folks at Allora will be offering 1/2 priced raw oysters on the half shell (from their regular dinner menu) on Monday for National Oyster Day.

More about Allora

Allora is much more than oysters. I’ve had the pleasure of dining there a few times and I have never been disappointed. The space is elegant, the service is impeccable and the food is divine. You can’t go wrong with anything on their dinner menu, but keep your eye out for their special wine dinners. The team goes all out for these and it offers guests an exclusive experience. The winemaker for the chosen wine of the evening attends to share stories about each wine pairing. They also have “Wine Wednesdays” with 50% off all wine in the house all night!

Allora’s wine cellar that houses over 200 varieties of California and European inspired wines.
