Allegro was a top restaurant in Prague Four Seasons hotel. It is now closed. In 2008 it became the first restaurant from the post-communist bloc to obtain the star from the prestigious Michelin Guide.[1][2] In 2009,[2] 2010[3] and 2011,[4] 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.[4]

The head chef was Andrea Accordi.[2]
