Adelmo's Ristorante

My wife and I came here for her birthday and we weren't disappointed. The service was great and the food was even better. The lobster bisque is great. Very fresh. The Caesar salad was awesome. The lobster ravioli was tasty! I added shrimp to it and that really sent it over the top. The service was great as well. It felt like a nice neighborhood establishment that I'd love to bring folks to as people visit.

We went here for our second wedding anniversary while visiting Dallas.The food was four stars alone but the staff and ambiance made this a five star experience. We felt so special and well taken care of and were able to enjoy our meal in a relaxed manner. None of the staff had name tags otherwise I would name them all. The lady at the hostess station was very welcoming and wished us a happy anniversary as soon as we stepped in the door and again as we were leaving. The male waiter (I believe he was gay) was super friendly and stopped by our table to compliment my tattoos. Our waiter was an older Italian gentleman who was very attentive and went out of his way to explain the menu and make sure we had everything we needed. The male bartender stopped by our table personally to ask how I liked my espresso martini (which was hands down one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had). The fresh bread was yummy and the Cesar salads were very fresh and had homemade croutons. My lobster bisque was so good, creamy, and full of flavor. My husband got the meatball appetizer which was almost an entree in and of itself as it came with pasta too. The meatballs were definitely homemade and were full of flavor but were super crumbly and kept falling apart. My lasagna was amazing and my husband said the beef ravioli was good too.We were totally stuffed after our entrees but the wait staff brought out a complimentary piece of bread pudding that was served with vanilla ice-cream, caramel sauce and fresh strawberries to celebrate or anniversary. It was some of the best bread pudding I've had. We then got cannoli and tiramisu to go which we enjoyed the next day. When we opened the to go containers we were pleasantly surprised to see that great effort had been put into the presentation of even the to go desserts. I'm a big believer that you eat with your eyes first and that was a great treat the next day. The cannolis were large and had amazing flavor and my husband said his tiramisu was very good as well. We hope to be back the next time we are in town.

Very good atmosphere. Service was mediocre. Food was even more mediocre. Very overpriced. Amount is good but nothing to write home aboutBread was okay. Won't go back

Life has been so busy lately and I am remiss in not posting this earlier. We LOVE Adelmo's Ristorante! It's always an event for us like a birthday or anniversary. This year it was our anniversary earlier in June. Even though it's been a few weeks (of travel - look for my other reviews from around the country and Europe), the evening at Aldemo's was memorable for all the right The restaurant was quiet since there was an NBA playoff game on, but that just allowed us to have extra attention and service. The service, as always, was impeccable. The vibe is always classy, and I always feel special dining at Adelmo's. Dinner was exquisite. Flavorful and filling without feeling stuffed. Bread is de rigueur. I don't eat it, but my husband enjoyed it immensely. Same with his meatball appetizer which was a special. I stayed gluten free and the staff took extra care to make sure I was safe from shell fish and soy. They were so mindful about the gluten that when I started to take a bite of something off my husband's plate, they cautioned me that I did not have that on my plate because of my dietary restrictions. My husband enjoyed the sea bass special and I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection. As I said, my sides were different than the menu but just as, if not more, delicious. I indulged in chocolate mousse for dessert, and Adelmo's always offers their bread pudding for special occasions.

It was our first time dining here and we chose Christmas Eve. We love authentic Italian food made by Italians. The owner was so friendly. John, our server, was outstanding. My husband had the osso buco and I had one of the specials- seafood pasta. Both dishes were delicious. We also had the bread pudding and tiramisu. I preferred the tiramisu as authentic. The entrees took a while to come out so make sure you're not arriving famished.

Truth be told, when it comes to dining out, I have a deep rotational list of joints that normally come into play when I have a hankering to let someone else do the cooking. I'd venture to say that my unwritten list of tried and true, go-to places that I draw from is somewhere around 50 eateries.Don't get me wrong....I do like to explore the new and the uncharted, but I do it more sparingly these days than I did a decade or two ago. Suffice it to say that I lean toward places where I know the food will be good, the menu varied and creative, and the service fail safe.And among that list of fifty or so restaurants, there's perhaps ten places that have earned a position of honor; that is, places so comfortable, reliable, and true that I tend to pop in for a meal every few weeks.Adelmo's has been on the hallowed list for a number of years. I've been walking through their doors on a repetitive basis for over twenty-five years, back when they were located in the Knox-Henderson area of town.These days, Adelmo's is in Inwood Village. The menu has a varied selection of Italian favorites which are attractively priced and consistently prepared. You'll find the ambience pleasant and the crowd generally well-behaved. The wait staff are pro's who will never let you down in getting the service you deserve.Reservation times are generally available; thus, you won't need to book weeks in advance.And while I can't opine on their recent operations, a moving picture show at the Inwood Theatre is a short walk away. And who knows, based on the number of times I'm at Adelmo's enjoying Shrimp Capellini or the Chicken Milanese, you might even bump into me. And if you do, stop by, say "Hi," and offer to buy me an ice-cold Martini. Shaken, not stirred. Please.

I had such high hopes for this place! That is why it is a 3 star review. I was expecting deep and rich flavors however I realized that the food is not that seasoned and the sauces were the best things on our plates. I know it seems harsh but it wasn't terrible, the fried Calamari was delicious and the marinara to dip it in was great! The wine selections was good and the service was great but I just couldn't get passed the unseasoned pasta and meat.Again the staff was so nice and I'm not bashing the place but I have to call it like it is. Just be prepared or if you like less seasoned food then this is the place for you.

Very few places in Dallas like this. The veal scalopini is amazing. I've been a few times and recently ordered the shrimp cappelini, so delicious! Crab cakes are awesome with several accompaniments, and the smoked salmon is really great! Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food reminds you of being in the finest Italian rest., anywhere. The variety,quality, and freshness can't be beat. The service is as professional as you would want. Never rushed, never pushed, and what's great is the owners Adelmo and Eliza are always on hand to answer, assist or just to make sure you are satisfied.The wine list truly represents what you would want to compliment your great meal. I forget to mention, the best homemade desserts , ever!!Imagine a great table setting, a terrific meal, capped off with a great beverage!Salute!!BT, you can eat at the bar!!5 star definitely

My wife and I recently had a great experience at Adelmo's. It's a lovely restaurant with great romantic lighting and very attentive service. We enjoyed our entrées, Chicken Milanese and Eggplant Parmesan, very much. I appreciate when food is delivered hot and freshly prepared. It amazes me how many restaurants present lukewarm food! Our meal was very hot and portions were generous. We ended the evening with warm bread pudding, which was excellent.
