Adriatic Cafe

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.

Overall a super great place to try! We went on a Friday evening around 8:30 and got seated immediately. They immediately brought out some warm, soft and delicious bread. It was so good dipped in butter. I got the Alex special and substitute mushrooms for broccoli. It was pretty good, there was some flavors I wasn't a huge fan of. My dad tasted my food and really enjoyed it. My dad ordered the chicken saltimbocca and gave it a 10/10. Both of these dishes + 2 margaritas came to a total of $50.88. We both only ate half of our food so we have leftovers for tomorrow. Service was pretty good, there was nothing extraordinary about it. Would definitely go back and try something new.

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

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!

First time at Adriatic Cafe, service was very good. I had the mussels with a fra-diavolo sauce and they were excellent. The rolls that they bring as soon as you seat at the table are also very testy. As a main dish I tried the chicken parmigiana and was disappointed. Chicken was hard and not very testy. The side of spaghetti was cooked al dente (which is what I asked for) but the marinara sauce was not as good as the fra-diavolo sauce of the mussels. I will go back to try something else instead of chicken.

Adriatic Cafe is one of the best local Italian restaurants in the Houston area. They have great prices, Excellent portions, weekly specials. Food is made in house and they have an excellent Happy Hour menu. The service is like no other. You are greeted at the door by smiling faces, and the staff is always so attentive. They have a beautiful restaurant, and a beautiful bar area. Highly recommend.

First time and won't be our last. Thursday night, Date night!! We will definitely be back. We always choose to sit at the bar ( don't judge ) and we were greeted by our very sweet bartender Pauline! She was fantastic. I ordered an Italian Margarita... gotta a kick to it ! My husband ordered the Cab which was really good for a happy hour wine. We ordered Pasta pomodora and Adriatic Special. We loved both dishes. The garlic knots are so fluffy and delicious We also ordered a XL pizza to go. Excellent service Excellent Food One thing ... one thing only that I suggested to the staff.... Dim the lights. It's way too bright for a romantic date night but we will be back !!

Eh. Tasted processed. Cheese bread was good, garlic knots were edible, but tasted previously frozen. Lasagna was bad, bland, and the pasta was a weird texture. Manicotti was ok, but the ricotta was not the best. Cheese ravioli is same as the manicotti--low quality ricotta. Meatballs were tough and had to have been from frozen. The chicken parm was greasy, didn't have enough marinara. I'd rather eat at Olive Garden. ‍

Watch your CC statements, inpaif with my CC. We gave the waitress cash for her tip. I get my bank statement,. She added another tip to the card. Trust me she wasn't worth a 10 dollar tip.Went to restaurant with bank statement and receipt. Got my 5 dollars back. Manager said he was going to speak to her.Whatever.

Meant to stop here for a while, finally dropped in. The driveway is easy to miss and the 45 feeder is like the Indy 500... we actually parked in a strip mall lot and walked over, there was a foot bridge that appeared for that very reason.Place is new, clean. Menu has the usual Italian fare, we were seated in the bar while our server was attentive, she didn't offer suggestions and we didn't ask. My dining partner got the Salmon and veggies and I got the Lasagna. The bread was cold but good, sadly there was no fresh butter rather the type you might get at Super 8 for breakfast. The Peach tea was, well Peach in name only. The salmon was good the veggies were especially good. The Lasagna was fair. Overall with tip of $10 dollars came to $58. Not bad times what they are.Would I go back maybe yes maybe no, it's new so it might have growing pains. Would I recommend it, yes.
