Parking: $18 valet is the easier option. Most free street parking is 2hr limit and hard to come by in this residential area

Decided to go there because it was in Adrian's in Rocky. The experience was beyond any of our expectations. The food and drinks were amazing, steak was fantastic, cocktails were excellent and dessert was great too. By far the absolute best part of this place is the staff. The opera singing was out of this world. This place is an absolute gem

A little loud and a little cramped. They sat us in an awkward spot in the middle of the restaurant close to another table in a half empty restaurant. The food was good, but nothing great. Same with the service. To me, the singing was a bit awkward and too frequent. I might be biased because I like food, not gimmicks, and the waitresses who were not the most attentive to begin with stopped serving completely when it was time to sing. I would not have eaten here had I known about the singing beforehand. The fried smelts were a nice dish that you do not see very often. Tasty fish with just the right amount of breading served with tasty dipping sauces. The clams casino was pleasant as well. The clams were a little large for casino in my opinion, but tasted fresh, were not chewy, and quite flavorful. Unfortunately the appetizers were better than the main course. The pork chop was okay. It was good-sized and a quality chop. However, the pork chop was served bland and a bit dry. There was too much juice on the plate that did not help or increase the moistness or the flavor. The chop was a tad overcooked. A unique experience that does not need to be revisited, at least by me.

We went of course because we are big Stallone fans. The second floor was extremely fun and interesting to explore for all of the memorabilia. The bartender up there was kind of rude, to be honest. We ate a wonderful Italian dinner on the first floor and enjoyed Opera every 20 minutes from the waiters and waitresses. It was our first exposure to live opera. We weren't sure if we would like it or not… There is a lot of passion and emotion and talent in their singing and we ended up really liking it! Highly recommend for the overall experience.

Very disappointed!!! Drove two hours to have dinner. Celebrating 2 birthdays for our table for 4 people. Spent over $400 ordering drinks, appetizers, and dinners. Also ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. Less than an hour and a half we were told we had to leave because they needed our table. Our wine barely drank and completely wasted after we poured it. I literally was tracked down in the restroom that we had to go. Too unbelievable for words. Never in my life have we ever been treated like that. Waitress was acting like we were bothering her. Never going back. And not worth a five minute drive folks!!!!!

We were there Saturday night and loved the ambience and hospitality. We ordered appetizers, entrees and dessert and I loved their entree and dessert. I and my husband are vegetarian and they were able to suggest us few options with no meat. Linguine Fra Diavolo and Vegan Orecchiette Pasta were so yummy. We tried tiramisu and dessert of the day (something with Pistachio) both were amazing. They even have opera performances every 20-30 minutes.Vegetarian options: Server was well aware of what dishes can be made vegetarian and vegan options are clearly specified on the menu
