...with Alloro's fidelity to Italian custom, the portions are fit for an adolescent boy or a portly aging mafioso. Appetizers ($3-8) are convincingly disguised as entrees, entrees ($7-17) as next week's leftovers. Sauteed calamari arrive in a giant, steaming heap, covered by a light, fresh tomato sauce. Because the calamari are not breaded and fried, their flavor and freshness penetrate the domination of the tomato (that's right).

In both cases, the sauce adhered so perfectly to the meal that the plates looked clean enough to be reused. The baby octopus was tender, but needed more fresh tomato and onion chunks to liven it up, as well as a bit more red wine vinegar for tang. The canelon, as the fourth tapa was called, was subtle and delicious. Surrounding wrapping dough was tender without being soggy and overflowed with fresh seafood and spinach...
