Chef-owner Lorenzo Logoreci gratuated from Culinary School in Rome,  where he worked at the world renouned,  family-owned Tre Scalini Restaurant in Piazza Navona,  Rome.

After opening a successful restaurant in Heidelberg, Germany,  he moved to the USA where he worked as Sous-Chef a the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead,  Atlanta.

In 2004,  Lorenzo opened a 32-seat Roman restaurant, Allegro Romano,  now known internationally as one of the best restaurants on the west coast.

With the atmosphere of a small Roman restaurant,  hidden from the tourist tracks,  Allegro is where local San Franciscans enjoy dining in luxury.

The secret of Allegro has slowly escaped and has now become a standard for restaurant connoisseurs, politicians and celebrities looking to have a truly wonderful dining experience.   Visits from well known people are common,  as Allegro has become a favorite of the Clintons,  Willie Brown,  Brat Pitt,  Demi Moore,  Ashton Kutcher,  Bob Dylan,  Ben Stiller,  Joe Torre,  Rudolf Giuliani,  Conan O'Brian, Omar Visquel,  World Champion  GP and Superbike Max Biaggi,  Miss Italia Eleonora Pedron,  and many more (see photo album).
