    I was excited to try a new restaurant in the neighborhood. It was a beautiful restaurant inside, and I loved the decor. The service was a little slow, especially considering there weren't many people initially. The cocktails were delicious, and everyone was extremely kind and attentive. The foo,d however, was not as great as I expected, especially for the price. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I'll be returning soon.

    Our waiter was absolutely fantastic. I wasn't totally thrilled with my enree -- but that's because I wasn't feeling well when we walked in. Anyone else in his or her right mind would have loved it. My boyfriend totally enjoyed his meal. My only recommendation for dessert would be to add something other than sorbet to the menu for folks who are lactose intolerant. A very, very pleasant dining experience overall.

    Great food. Very nice restaurant. My husband was in heaven with the raviolis and the chocolate dessert. I loooved the octopus and the branzino was great, but I wasn’t that lucky with the apricot cake. My son loved the ricotta cake. We will definitely come back!!! Thank you!

    An absolutely perfect evening for an intimate date night. If you are looking for that elegant upper eastside Italian spot to enjoy a wonderful meal with your significant other, no need to look any further. From the gracious staff to exceptional service and an absolutely wonderful meal, we could not have asked for anything more. Impeccable decor.We have found our new quaint spot. Can’t wait to go back, and already have recommended our friends. Grazie Adria!

    Delicious dinner, especially the ravioli and cheese cake I had! I love that they had some options for non alcoholic drinks, I was able to get a mock tail! Beautiful decor and the ambiance was lovely, I will be returning here with more friends to enjoy more of their menu.
