Allegro was a top restaurant in Four Seasons hotel in Prague, which is now closed. The restaurant served mainly Italian and also Bohemian food. [1] In 2008 it became the first restaurant from the post-communist bloc to obtain the star from the prestigious Michelin Guide. [2] [3] In 2009, [3] 2010 [4] and 2011, [5] Allegro retained its star.

It was the only restaurant in Prague with the accolade, although in 2010 a restaurant in Hungary was awarded the star, ending Allego's claim as the only restaurant from the Eastern Bloc to have the star. [5]

The head chef was Andrea Accordi, [3] who won his second Michelin star at the time Allegro won its first. [1]
