Obviously my favorite restaurant!
We had another great experience last night. Scott was amazing! Great food and excellent service. It was definitely worth the wait.
Discovered this place maybe 10 years ago on one of my trips to New Orleans & have returned many times. I usually stay in the Quarter & this is one of only two restaurants I leave the Quarter for, Mandina's is the other.

Adolfo’s Restaurant is a charming, cozy spot in New Orleans that offers delicious Italian and Creole dishes. Housed in a former 100-year-old apartment above a bar, it has a unique and intimate vibe that many find special. The restaurant is small, with about 12 tables, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors often praise the friendly, attentive service, with staff like Amy and a jolly lady who make guests feel at home.
The menu features a variety of local favorites and house specialties. One of the most loved dishes is the Ocean sauce, which is described as pure magic, especially when paired with their bread. The stuffed flounder with ocean sauce is highly recommended, as are the Chicken Vincent and a chicken dish with capers, lemon, and artichoke. The special mussels with white wine and garlic, along with veal Frances and steak Scotty, are also highly praised for their well-prepared flavors. Desserts like chocolate mousse cake and limoncello cake add a sweet finish to the meal.
Despite its small size and sometimes cramped space, many guests find the restaurant’s charm, delicious food, and excellent service make it a memorable dining experience. Whether celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a cozy night out, Adolfo’s offers a true New Orleans experience filled with good food, friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere.
