Also means
to attract, to allure
Usage Note
Allettare implies an appeal to desire or self-interest — an offer, a prospect, or a reward that draws someone in. It takes avere: l'idea mi ha allettato. Be careful not to confuse it with allattare (to breastfeed), which differs by a single letter.
Examples
"La proposta lo ha molto allettato."
Natural Translation
The proposal greatly tempted him.
