Alio

about this experience


At Alio enjoying is living. Alio is best described as a restaurant born from passion. Ashley and Tracy Hughes (brother and sister) are serving clean fresh flavours influenced from Southern Italy. Major influences arise from their time spent working at the River Cafe in London and Ashley's travels through Italy.

Alio has a fully licensed cocktail bar for pre-dinner and after-dinner drinks. Anticipate seasonal menu changes, offering boutique wines by the glass and classic cocktails.

what the reviews say ...

"Siblings Tracey and Ashley Hughes boast London's famed River Cafe on their CVs, and that experience shows in the southern Italian menu."

        - SMH Good Food Guide  2009
 "The decor is standard upbeat suburban-cool and the menu is simple rather than clever, but get stuck into Ashley's luscious, hand-crafted southern Italian fare and for a little while nothing else matters..."
        - Gourmet Traveller Australian Restaurant Guide 2008
"Here you'll find a sleek, modern dining room full of eclectic partrons....who've all come for a taste of Ashley Hughes' modern Italian menu. Home-made pasta is a highlight... and the desserts are lush..."
        - Dining Secrets Sydney  2006
