Adriatic Cafe The Woodlands

This is a hidden gem and I'm glad we found it! Recently opened in the Woodlands, this Italain restaurant has the most delicious food at an amazing price point! The food tastes like restaurants that charge twice as much! The garlic knots, lasagna, chicken Alfredo, and the Alex special were all amazing! The service is top notch too - we received amazing seevice and the manager, Burim, was helpful when we encountered and issue. The ambiance is relaxed and semi-formal - perfect for a family dinner or a date night. I can't wait to go back to this restaurant again!

Absolutely disgusting. Chicken Marsala has no cream and the chicken is like chewing on a boot. I ate two bites and I knew something was wrong. I did not eat anymore and asked for my check. The server was nice and friendly. My issue is your food made me sick and you're too busy to talk to me at 10:45 am.

Food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken carbonara. I love how their pasta summit over cook. Sauce was just perfect. Let's not forget then free bread. Buttery and soft. I have a new favorite Italian place I can go to.

I order veal marsala and requested vegetable pasta; but they were out... so I asked for angel hair and received spaghetti. The calamari was very rubbery..Ordered meatballs; bland, very bland.Waitress did not know the menu well.

I was craving spaghetti and meatballs, and that's exactly what I ordered. First of all, as others have said, the garlic twists are absolutely delicious! They come out warm, soft, and incredibly garlicky.The spaghetti and meatballs were mediocre. The pasta was a good texture, and the flavor of the sauce was nice. But it was a bit watery, and water pooled at the bottom of my dish, which I didn't care for. Also, the meatballs had a heavy bready taste and texture. But the dish did hit the spot and satisfied my craving.Service was expertly efficient, and the dining room was clean and spacious. A nice plus: it was the least expensive meal I've had in many months!

Short review, great staff nice restaurant, good lunch prices, the food however isn't worth coming back for. Long review: I've come in twice for lunch, both times the service was good. The garlic rolls are very yummy and the highlight of the whole meal. I don't remember the name of the plates I ordered. The first visit I ordered a spaghetti with marinara, veggies, and chicken. It came with a salad. The salad wasn't anything special but it was decent. The entree was big for a lunch portion, and pretty good aside from the chicken. There were a couple of thin, whole chicken breasts in the pasta. The chicken was dry and not good. The rest was good enough that I thought it was just a one off, and I looked forward to going back and trying something else. My second visit I ordered some sort sampler from the lunch menu. I decided to share with my toddler instead of wasting an entire kids meal on her. Unfortunately she can't have dairy so they were very accommodating and allowed me to substitute the manicotti for spaghetti with marinara. I ordered my son mozzarella sticks from the appetizers. The cheese sticks were AWFUL. They tasted freezer burnt and like they were microwaved. My lasagna had an entire bay leaf hidden under the cheese that I bit into and thought was plastic until I spit it out and saw what it was. I don't completely fault them for that. I did think it was odd. The sauce tasted like it was from a can. The lasagna was kind of boring overall. I thought I was just being picky so I moved to try the cheese ravioli. It was terrible. The pasta's texture was over cooked like the lasagna and the cheese was gross. It didn't seem to have anything in it but some funky ricotta (and I like ricotta! This was just gross). I left a good tip because I don't fault my server, he was great, and I vowed not to go back.

They have multiple locations this is first time I visited this location.However, food is very consistent and always hot and fresh.I would assume most come for the pasta but they have 3 dishes I highly recommendMy fav pasta - Alek Special (actually enough for 2 servings)2nd - Chicken and Veggies (actually enough for 2 servings)3rd - Pizza (any type) very very good.Today we got a supreme, removed black lives and mushrooms and added Chicken and Jalapeños.The margarita pizza is also really good but when we order we always request that they dice up the tomatoes otherwise they come as slices of tomato and to much to eat that way. I have been to the Tomball location and is a stand alone bldgSpring location is in a strip mallWoodlands is a stand alone bldgThe Tomball location is nice but the woodlands appears to be the most recent or new location. Very nice

Clean, good service, restaurant They definitely pay attention to their sauces and ingredients. Everything we ate was good including the dessert and espresso.

Delightful Italian cafe with plenty of gluten free options that's close to home. We will see you again soon. Thank you Alex for your kind and attentive service.

So glad to have a great Italian Restaurant that is affordable near The Woodlands! Had the Chicken Parm and a side of their unique Meatballs and it was fantastic... Service was Awsome from Danielle who always had that smile and very professional... It's now my go too for Italian
