A perfect lunch spot on the Upper East side. Everything we ate was off the charts! Presentation, quality of food, preparation and taste were outstanding. A must go place.

This was already my favorite restaurant but we had them cater our bridal shower over the weekend and everyone was blown away. We told them how many people and they provided plenty of food and it was so delicious. Everyone was raving about it, they were so kind and helpful. Will continue eating here as well as have them cater for us again!

I’m usually not a fan of Aperol Spritz, but the one here completely changed my mind. Perfectly balanced, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The staff is also incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!

Really fantastic restaurant. Everything is incredible. After the first time I went (for dinner), I had to return for brunch barely 12 hours later. It's that good. Truly a step (or multiple steps) above any Italian I've had in Manhattan in recent memory. Can't wait for my next visit!

There are many Italian restaurants in this neighborhood but only one has Alex as a server. The food at da Adriano is excellent - think grandma’s home style cooking in an elevated, cozy environment. However, it’s Alex who truly elevates the entire dining experience. This man is a natural at service and hospitality. He’s friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. You don’t feel any pressure from him, and small talk between dishes flows naturally. As long as Alex is there, we’ll keep coming back.

My friend picked me up a Caesar salad to go from here and I have to say it was the best to-go caesar salad I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot. Beautiful green leaves of lettuce, finely grated parmesan, true Caesar dressing with anchovy, and, laid delicately across the top, three delicious filets of anchovy.
Honestly I was shocked, most to-go Caesars are middling at best. This was superb.

Excellent Italian restaurant ! I happen to go every Friday there and it will be MY first choice for lunch . I had a delicious steak cooked exactly as I wanted ! The service was excellent! Waiters are very polite and hospitable . I will be back so as to try the other delicious food they offer . Pasta and fish seem amazing too !! Great coffee and a delicious selection of desserts.
This tiny spot on the Upper West Side has great authentic italian food and wines, recommend reservations, they have outside seating in warmer months, not for large groups, nice and intimate. Adriano is an excellent host for my going away dinner.

The chicken was served in a puddle of lukewarm water (what I assume was the “sauce”); the cut of the meat was gamey and left me feeling sick. The prosciutto and mozzarella was surely bought from the grocery store across the street, so in hindsight I wish I paid a grocery store price for it. The service was bizarre to say the least. We waited forever to be served, and we were handed an empty checkbook instead of a wine menu. The waiter shrugged and starred at us awkwardly after what seemed to be a painstaking regurgitation of the day’s specials. I won’t be returning.

Excellent overall: delicious pasta and our server was attentive and a genuinely nice human (he called when someone in our group left behind a handbag after dinner). Charmingly small restaurant with outside seating too. We'd definitely return.

Quaint little Italian cafe with phenomenal food. Probably my favorite Italian in the city. The caprese focaccia is delicious, the bread has perfect balance of crispy on the outside soft on the inside with the lightest touch of olive oil and salt, and the cheese and vegetables are always fresh and delicious. The gnocchi pesto with straciatella is absolutely divine, as our most all of their pasta dishes. You must try the pine nut cookies when you’re here. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu highly recommend.
