Innovative modern approach to Italian cuisine. Fried green tomato caprese, charred octopus, agnolotti stuffed with duck, and tiramisu (deconstructed with almond ice cream - best tiramisu I’ve ever had) Amazing date spot.

I went to Adalina's on Saturday for my birthday. My sisters, friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere is perfect for a special occasion, with beautiful chandeliers.
I enjoyed the four cheese bread, the meatballs, and the chicken milanese. And the chocolate mousse tart that they brought out for my birthday was so delicious!
I would definitely go back.

I was really looking forward to our first visit, I will say the food was delicious but was disappointed with the small portion size of both dishes (lamb chops and gnocchi.) I would also suggest sitting at a booth in the bar area instead of the dining room, wait staff seemed crammed in between the tables while taking orders.

I booked Adalina for my company holiday party, and it was an absolute dream! Lily and Paulina were incredibly accommodating and worked with me every step of the way to bring my vision to life. From the flawless food presentation to the incredible flavors, everything exceeded expectations. The ambiance was stunning, and their attention to detail made the event unforgettable. Highly recommend Adalina for any special occasion or for an event!

My husband got us a reservation at Adalina for our anniversary and we could not have had a better experience or meal! Fatimah was amazing and explained the menu to us as it was our first time in. Her recommendations were fantastic and we literally enjoyed every bite. The Dover Sole and Wagyu steak were amazing and the anniversary dessert was such a thoughtful touch. Thank you and we will be back!

Some of the food could be better, the carpaccio was good though
I came to Adalina the night of 12/4 around 5:30pm. I was waiting for the rest of my party, so I went to the bar. A barback gave me the main cocktail menu and a water, and said the server would be over. I was 1 of 3 people at the entire bar sitting. I was ignored for a good 10-15min. There was one bartender who stayed on the other end of the bar. The other bartender decided to have a long conversation with a server.
This was really frustrating since more people then sat down at the bar. 2 parties of 3 all around me. So then the bartenders started just going one by one helping whoever was in a row. Definitely didn’t give anyone the happy hour menu.
I finally ordered a regular menu drink. My coworkers joined and asked for old fashioneds. Tyler all of a sudden says "those are happy hour drinks."
I looked at him and said "I had no idea it was happy hour...can I see the menu?" He told me to order quickly because it was basically
I have spoken to other people who dined at Adalina and they had the exact same experience.
Dinner service with Fatimah was great. She was attentive and professional, so we did have a better experience there.
But not sure I would be back, because of this cold experience when first entering.

To start things off, the menu includes enticing Appetizers such as Gnocco Fritto, Market Oysters, and a unique twist on a classic with the Fried Green Tomato Caprese. The Truffled Caesar Salad adds a touch of luxury to the meal, while the tasty Burrata provides a delectable finish to the savory offerings. In addition to the amazing appetizers, the handmade pasta dishes are a standout, featuring options like Campanelle, Mezzi Rigatoni, and Agnolotti that showcase the restaurant’s commitment to quality and authenticity. For the main course options, those seeking a hearty option, the Chicken Milanese is a flavorful choice. The Charred Filet and Lamb Rack are perfect for meat lovers looking for tender, expertely cooked to perfection. The Citrus Wagyu adds a touch of sophistication, making it a fantastic option for a special occasion or an indulgent night out. If seafood is more to your taste, Adalina also offers excellent Seafood Entrees. The Salmon Vesuvio is a must try, while the Grilled Branzino and Roasted Halibut present beautifully cooked, fresh options that are both healthy and satisfying. The Adalina impresses not only with its remarkable cuisine, but also with its luxury high end interior décor. The restaurant features exquisite finishes throughout the space, creating an elegant atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The separate bar area offers an intimate setting, perfect for enjoying a pre-dinner drink or a casual gathering. Meanwhile, the dining room is thoughtfully laid out, providing ample space between tables and exterior city views that further elevate the ambiance. Service at Adalina is outstanding, the attentive wait staff goes above and beyond to ensure guests have the best experience possible. Our waiter took the time to carefully walk us through the extensive menu, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the dishes. This level of attention exemplifies the restaurant’s commitment to excellent customer service.

We had an amazing time celebrating our birthdays with Saad as our server. He understood our glacial pace through the meal as we wanted to savor the experience. As always, Adalina delivered the perfect atmosphere for a nice date night that doesn’t feel pressured/rushed. We look forward to another evening here in the near future!
