About the restaurant

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and

Food was excellent, service was perfect along with the view! My filet was cooked as requested, my husbands tuna was fresh caught today (got to see a photo!). Did save room for dessert!!! Crème brûlée was fluffy & the lemon cheesecake was a perfect way to end the meal. Can’t wait to be back!!!

Amazing food, everything was delicious. The Thai Curry was out of this world, will be back for that soon. Everyone at the table said everything was perfectly cooked (they had Mahi and Swordfish). Great job guys. Eat here!

Outstanding, perfectly prepared cuisine in a lovely seaside setting! Service was excellent. The waitress was very nice and upbeat. Throughout the meal, she was very attentive without being overbearing. The wine she recommended was wonderful. The tuna was very fresh and delicious. The octopus was tender and the sauce was terrific. The paella was even better than last year. For dessert, we shared the flourless chocolate cake which was a wonderful way to end a spectacular meal.

Fine Dining with an Italian Twist

The fragrance of freshly baked bread. The aroma of Italian herbs. The soft glow of moonlight cascading over the Great Bay. This is Alloro, where fine dining transports you to Sicily by way of St. Thomas.

Enjoy locally sourced seafood, imported prosciutto and a superb wine selection at this elevated Italian restaurant.
