Pearl-area Italian eateries Allora and Arrosta have combined forces to offer diners the most popular dishes from both restaurants under one roof. As of Wednesday, Feb. 28, guests can find popular dishes from Arrosta's menu — comforting eats such as eggplant parmigiana, housemade pastas and individual sourdough pizzas — inside the much bigger dining room of Allora.

“Allora has three times the kitchen space and four times as many seats as Arrosta,” owner Peter Selig said in an emailed statement. "To handle the crowds from both Allora and Arrosta more efficiently and effectively, we've decided to combine the best of the best.” Allora’s most popular dishes, such as grilled octopus, vegetarian baked cauliflower, crispy roast chicken, will remain available.
