Adelinas Restaurant & Bar

I went here for my anniversary dinner and the aesthetics couldn’t have been more perfect. I’m leaving a 5 star based on my bartender, Andy, and my server, Stephanie.(I hope I spelled it correctly!) They displayed exceptional hospitality, kindness, and humor all throughout my experience. Special shout out to Andy for apologizing for the way another staff member spoke to me during my experience. He noticed the discomfort and immediately tried to fix it! You really never know the kind of impact you’ll have on someone’s day, a little bit of kindness goes a long way.

We were just here and still feel the magic of a truly wonderful experience. Cozy décor, an intimate atmosphere and welcoming staff immediately puts you in a good mood! The staff were truly amazing and so kind. The food was fantastic! What impressed us most was how smoothly everything ran with our large crowd. Even with a group that included kids, picky eaters, the staff made the evening effortless and fun. We all left full, happy, and carrying great memories. 5-star experience! Thank you!

My cousin and I took our grand children after seeing a ballet. Everything was great, the hostesses, the waitress, the atmosphere and the food!! I will definitely be a returning diner.

Packed on a Saturday night but so worth the wait because we didn’t have a reservation. Thoroughly enjoyed everything we had here especially the stuffed focaccia. Will be back!!!

Adelina’s has a vibe all its own. Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or a cozy dinner for two, this place delivers. Its contemporary atmosphere creates a fun, welcoming energy from the moment you walk in.

The food is both authentic and delicious. I highly recommend starting with the stuffed focaccia, olives, and calamari. For mains, the pasta carbonara and the filet mignon are outstanding choices.

The staff is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and committed to making your experience exceptional. Adelina’s is absolutely worth the visit.

A great atmosphere! Visited the basement business lounge, which seemed like a speakeasy, and it was the perfect setting for a business meal. The food was very tasty, the grilled octopus was perfectly cooked, not too tender, and had a little bit of a bite to it. The chicken Parm was well breaded, nice and crispy, but would have liked a little bit more sauce to mop up the chicken. The tiramisu was light and fluffy, perfectly airy way to finish off a meal.

This is my second time coming to Adelina's for dinner and I can't wait to go again. The stuffed foccacia is soooooo delicious. It's served with some roasted garlic on the plate as an appetizer. If I weren't trying to eat better I could proudly eat 2 by myself (that has nothing to do with the portion size as it is enough to share, it's just that good!). Lol!

The first time I went I had the calamari as my appetizer. It wasn't the best calamari I've ever had but it wasn't bad. It wasn't over seasoned, it was cooked perfectly but the sauce did the heavy lifting.

This time I got the cesar salad. It had the perfect amount of dressing which was so good my friend and I wanted to ask if they sold bottles. The salad portion was big enough to share if you'd like but I could also see it as a main course portion if you add chicken or shrimp.

Both times for dinner I had the special which was a mushroom risotto with scallops and truffle. This is one of the most flavorful risottos I've ever had! The scallops are buttery and can be cut with your fork! The risotto is the perfect texture with a great balance of butter, garlic, mushroom and truffle. Just thinking about it now makes me want more. It comes with 3 nice size scallops and honestly enough risotto that both times I had them box up the rest.

For dessert I did order the regular creme brulee again. It's just so good! It's creamy, it's light, it's DELICIOUS! Again I would probably eat 2 if I didn't think my dietician would frown upon it.

I love their riesling from Germany, this time I got an asperol spritz, both times I got a espresso martini to go with my dessert. It was great with the creme brulee.

The service is always great. Both times our servers were attentive. The restaurant is clean and cozy. Love the atmosphere. They do have a doorman at night, which is nice. He, as well as the ladies at the host stand are nice.

I would recommend this restaurant for a good meal and a cozy atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely loved this place! The staff were warm & attentive—Nicole in particular was incredibly sweet & accommodating, which set such a great tone for the night. Our server Adam was great as well.

The food was outstanding. We started with the burrata & squash salad, both beautifully balanced, & then shared the fusillino, which was rich & flavorful. Most places I’ve ordered a similar dish to this from - its way too creamy & overpowering, this was perfection. They even split the entrée for us without us asking—a small but thoughtful detail that shows how much they care about the guest experience.

The ambiance is equally impressive. Inside, the design & décor are stunning. We sat outside, where there’s a generous number of tables & large heaters that kept us warm n cozy.

Having worked in the industry for 15 years at several high-end Italian restaurants, I can honestly say this place does not disappoint. Chestnut Hill is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated yet welcoming dining experience.
