From Lockdown to Limoncello: Allegro Restaurant and Bar Launches Summer With Four-Year Anniversary Themed Celebration
Savoring summer and second chances, Allegro invites the community to toast life's sweet moments with a vibrant gathering, lively music, refreshing limoncello and an Italian feast. SAN DIEGO, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegro Restaurant and Bar, the city's premier upscale dining venue, is set to celebrate the arrival of summer with an exclusive, themed Limoncello Summer Kick-Off Party on Thursday, June 19th from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. This elevated event promises an unforgettable evening of elegance, music, vibrant Italian-inspired flavors, and marks a heartfelt milestone: Allegro's 4-year anniversary. Tapping into the growing revival of classic Italian aperitivo culture, Allegro's summer party brings a taste of the Amalfi Coast to California. Guests will be welcomed with a yellow carpet entrance and a refreshing limoncello welcome drink, setting a radiant tone for the night. A glowing Allegro sign framed with lemons will provide the perfect backdrop for summer–worthy photos. In addition to the lively ambiance, attendees can indulge in delicious small bites thoughtfully curated to complement the limoncello theme. Music will energize the night, while exclusive giveaways (unveiled at just the right moments) will surprise and delight guests throughout the evening. The anniversary carries special meaning for General Manager Fabrizio, who opened Allegro in 2021 after losing his job at the height of the COVID–19 pandemic. In a gesture of hope and community, he chose the name Allegro, Italian for "lively" and "joyful," to signal brighter days ahead. Four years on, Allegro has become the beating heart of Little Italy—a place where neighbors gather, memories are made, and every visit feels like a celebration. "When I founded Allegro, I wanted more than just a sophisticated venue; I wanted a haven of positivity and connection," said Fabrizio, General Manager of Allegro San Diego. "Our Limoncello Summer Kick–Off stands as proof that, when we gather, shared moments reveal the true joy of life." The event is open to the public, welcoming longtime friends and first–time guests alike.

Celebrity chef Anne Burrell, Food Network star, dies at 55
Chef Anne Burrell, best known as the longtime co-host of Food Network's"Worst Cooks in America," has died. She was 55. Her representatives confirmed the news to ABC News on Tuesday, stating that Burrell died earlier Tuesday morning at her home in New York. No cause of death has been shared at this time. In a statement, Burrell's family remembered her as "a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend." "Her smile lit up every room she entered," the statement read. "Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal." Food Network also honored the late chef in a separate statement. "Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent -- teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring," the network stated. "Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss." Born Sept. 21, 1969, in Cazenovia, New York, Burrell developed a passion for cooking early on, inspired by her mother's home-cooked meals and TV icon Julia Child. She earned a degree in English and Communications from Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, before pursuing her culinary education at the Culinary Institute of America, graduating in 1996. She went on to study in Italy at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners, where she honed her love for Italian cuisine through apprenticeships across the country. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1998, Burrell worked as a sous chef at Felidia in Manhattan under Lidia Bastianich and later led the kitchen at Savoy in SoHo, where she crafted Mediterranean-inspired dishes over an open wood fire. After several years in the restaurant world, she transitioned to teaching at the Institute of Culinary Education for over three years. She later returned to kitchens and began her television career as a sous chef on "Iron Chef America," eventually landing her own Emmy-nominated show, "Secrets of a Restaurant Chef," which ran for nine seasons. Burrell became a staple on Food Network, appearing in shows including "Chopped," "Chef Wanted" and "Food Network Star," most recently competing in "House of Knives" in 2025. She also authored two cookbooks, including the New York Times bestseller "Cook Like a Rock Star." Burrell is survived by her husband Stuart Claxton, whom she married in October 2021, and his son Javier; her mother Marlene; her sister Jane and Jane's children Isabella, Amelia, and Nicolas; and her brother Ben.
