Phenomenal. Quality of food was impeccable and the service was top notch. Our waiter outlined the menu in detail, very attentive, and built good rapport with us. The food was, as to be expected, DELICIOUS. Adalina’s has become a staple restaurant in our go-to book.

Excellent food and service. Beautiful venue with a unique approach to traditional Italian fare. Only short-coming is the size and density of the dining room. It can get noisy.

Service needed some work - not sure if our server was new or having a bad day, but we waited a while to be asked for our order, wine took a long time to arrive and the course planning process was not smooth (long waits between courses). Food and wine were excellent, but our server struggled a bit.

The cacio e pepe which is new to the menu was extremely buttery but still good. However, the Mafaldine was not good at all. The flavor profile and amount of spicing made the dish something we wouldn't order again.

Adalina lived up to the high rating here on OpenTable! Everything we ordered was delicious! The atmosphere is elegant, lively and fun! The tuxedos on the waiters is a nice touch. You feel like you are out for a special occasion and nothing disappoints. Ask for Ryan McGill as your waiter/server. Great personality and a fantastic asset to the restaurant.
AdalinaResponded 4 days ago
Ralph, thank you so much for your review at Adalina. So happy to hear you had an exceptional dining experience! I did double check because we have a McGill, but not a Ryan. Your waiters name is Chad McGill and I did go ahead and add a note to be seated with him if he is available for your future reservations with us! Hope to see you again soon.

We were assigned a table in a crowded part of the room which disappoints since there’s a number of empty tables (that remained empty all throughout the night) where everyone should be spread out. Also it is terribly challenging to have a decent conversation due to the loud music playing. We ordered several pasta and were quite disappointed with the heavy handed rock salt in it

Loud club music conflicted with high end gourmet food. Server inattentive and distant. Sommelier awesome (Alex) taught us much about wine AND the menu ( vs server). Food fantastic- uniquely prepared and flavorful! Manager did hear our concerns and comped our wine- thanks- but not sure we would come back unless the wait staff stepped it up!

This was our second visit to Adalina; the first was good. This was incredible. The food was delicious and creative; the service was perfection. While everything was wonderful, the two biggest surprises were the fried green tomato caprese, which two of our party who don't even like fried green tomatoes finished off, and the cookie plate for dessert. This is something that I would never have normally ordered, but someone in our party just wanted a cookie. These were five of the best, warm delicious cookies ever.

Beautiful restaurant. We had a bar table reserved and it had a great view of the outside and the main dining room, which is beautiful. Started with the octopus, which was very good, although not the best I had - it was hard to tell the difference in the potato and the octopus, I like the octopus to be a little charred, but the flavor was good. The meatball appetizer was excellent, 3 large and delicious cheesy meatballs. Also had a caesar salad a a shrimp pasta dish with calabrian chili which was out of this world. Our server was attentive and very friendly and gave real opinions about menu options. Drinks were great, wine selection also good! Highly recommend for the food, the ambience and the value.

It was our Anniversary and although my husband made a reservation and made the staff aware. Nothing special was done or offered by staff. We also got charged for a sparkling water we didn’t ask for, a passing butler placed it on our table so we assumed it was a refill from our previous order of water No problem there But,. When our waitress came over and she checked our to go bag as if we were trying to steal something. My husband was offended and didn’t want to tip and cancelled desert because of it. He felt like we wouldn’t be there if we couldn’t afford to be there. So we will never dine there again. As far as the food and the ambiance it was okay

Our server was incredible and my cocktail was really good. The was very good but I didn't think the food dishes were memorable enough for me to return especially at the price point. My husbands pasta dish was a pool of butter and while my shrimp pasta dish was good, it needed another element like some acid or herbs to break up the rich sauce.
