Adamo's

It's so good I could cry. Was dreaming about the bolognese after my first visit. I had to go back to try a new dish. Now I'll be dreaming about the chicken Alfredo. Salad and garlic bread served with every pasta dish. They also serve wine from their own vineyards in Italy!! Wish I could score them higher than a 5. Just go!!

If you're looking for the best Italian food in town, look no further than Adamo's! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the comforting aroma of fresh pasta and rich sauces simmering in the kitchen.I ordered the homemade bolognese, and it was absolute perfection--silky, fresh pasta coated in a rich, slow-simmered meat sauce that was bursting with flavor. The balance of tomatoes, herbs, and tender beef was spot on, making every bite a dream. My wife had the risotto, which was creamy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The texture was just right--rich and velvety without being too heavy.The service was top-notch--attentive without being intrusive. The staff truly makes you feel like family, which adds to the overall charm of the place.If you love authentic Italian cuisine made with love and fresh ingredients, Adamo's is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

Food 5/5Atmosphere 5/5Service 5/5Free parking in the lot or pay on the streetI ordered 4 cheese ravioli. It was delicious

Made reservations here for the day before valentines and was seated promptly. Small inside, cozy, possibly a little warmer than anticipated.Risotto was decent, but it felt a little flavorless. I salted it but it still felt hollow. I thought the risotto would be more wet. The carbonara was okay, but very saucy. The garlic bread was good with a crunch and I like the texture of the noodles. I've had similar carbonara, but didn't feel like something to write home about. I thought this place would be much more than what it was, so just temper your expectations and it'll be fine. I also recommend getting the seasonal items, because I feel like people who get those enjoy it more.

Adamo's Kitchen is located on P St near 21st St. Thankfully, they take reservations because this neighborhood restaurant gets packed on evenings! Not only do they make fantastic pasta dishes, they offer pasta classes!!There is a small parking lot on the East side of the restaurant but you might need to circle around the block to find street parking.There is a large communal table, a bunch of smaller tables, and counter seating which I personally think are the best seats in the house because you can feel the energy with the bustling waitstaff and boisterous patrons.I've dined at Adamo's a handful of times. They simply make divine gnocchi and pappardelle. At our most recent visit, we had their Bolognase (pappardelle, beef, mirepoix, San Marzano tomatoes) and Beef Rib (1855 Black Angus beef rib over mashed potatoes with red cabbage slaw and sautéed leaks). The Bolognase dish was outstanding - balanced flavors and perfectly al dente pappardelle. The Beef rib was fall-off-the-bone tender and absolutely delicious but quite oily because it was so fatty (which isn't really bad thing because it's partially why it was so delicious). We already have a reservation booked to visit again. This time, we're dining earlier so they (hopefully) won't run out of desserts like they did at our last visit.Last but not least, their Ceasar salads are also excellent! We substituted their side salads for a slight upcharge because it's worth it!

Wow! One of the best Italian meals I've had in Sac!We came on a Wednesday night and it was packed, with a waitlist. We almost didn't stay but I'm so glad we did. We started with the Aracini, which was very good. The flavors are very mellow. We then got served the house salad that comes with the pasta, which was also good. The sundried tomatoes were awesome and worked well with the pickled onions. The salmon piccata was light and fresh. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The gnocchi was probably the highlight of the meal - so chewy and the sauce was insanely good. Very garlicky and the pancetta was a great addition. The garlic bread (Acme bread) was a nice treat. Overall, super pleased with this meal. The food coming out was on the slower side but they are quite busy so understandable. Limited seating inside and only open from 5-9pm, so I definitely recommend a reservation. TLDR: Amazing Italian where no choice is wrong!

My husband was craving Italian and had never been to Adamo's so we decided it was time for a date night!We parked on the street around the corner and stopped in right before 7pm on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to get a spot at the bar right away. The restaurant is pretty small and best for groups of 1-4 people, but with a reservation they could potentially accommodate slightly larger groups. The team here was so nice! From the moment we arrived until we left we felt taken care of and that they cared about our experience. We received cups of water right away and they checked in on us multiple times to see when we were ready to order.The menu is limited, but has seasonal items and it's all fresh. I had a really hard time deciding and asked our server for recommendations. We ordered the 3 Arancini ($16) as a started to share. The texture was great, but we both felt like the arancini could have been seasoned a bit more. It definitely needed the marinara sauce that it came in. It was cheesy and a great starter, especially doused in the marinara. I ended up going with the Four Cheese Ravioli ($26). It is described as calabrian chili and garlic oil, basil pesto and pine nuts with cheese ravioli. It was much more flavorful than I expected and the little flame next to it on the menu is no joke. It had some spice. I loved it! The portion was also a good size.My husband is an alfredo or butter based sauce kind of guy and was a little disappointed that there weren't more items that spoke to him. He ended up ordering the Chicken Alfredo ($27). This has pappardelle, Mary's chicken breast and parmesan cream. He said the chicken was delicious but was a bit underwhelmed by the sauce. I had a bite and it was a big contrast from my super flavorful four cheese ravioli dish.Our meals also came with a side salad which I loved. It's nice to have something fresh and crunchy along with the indulgent pasta.We each also enjoyed some Oktoberfest beers and the small restaurant makes you feel like you're enjoying a hidden gem, even though it's a well known gem.I would suggest checking out the menu before coming to make sure everyone in your party will find something exciting to them and making a reservation ahead of time if you can.They also offer pasta making classes which is so cool! They definitely know what they're doing so it's a great opportunity to learn from the experts.

I used to drive by this place almost everyday when I lived downtown and never went until I saw this place pop up on an instagram post and it looked so good! So, I had to try it. The wait was about 45 mins because it was packed and it's not a very big place. We were seated at the bar and were given drinks right away. We ordered the bruschetta and Caesar salad first. Then, for the entrée Bolognese. We got the appetizers very quick but, the entree took awhile. But, it was all very good! So the only reason I'll give this place 4 stars is because of the wait for food. I'll definitely be back! Book a table in advance! I only took a picture of the bruschetta. Sorry!

Adamo's is absolutely worth the hype! In my opinion, the best Italian food on the grid! The food is perfection, just like the quaint, family-like atmosphere. I had the bolognese and it was divine. The owner checked in on us multiple times and was so lovely. There's a small parking lot behind the building, which is no hassle. I highly recommend having a reservation since there aren't many tables, especially if you have a larger party!

Enjoyed the food!! Will come back for the cannoli soon!!! Had the ravioli with cheese and pine nuts. Excellent choice
