Was able to make reservations close to closing on a Friday night. Luckily, they could seat us indoors, outdoors just doesn't seem pleasant. Energy in the restaurant was awesome. It's a great place for a date night. The restaurant is beautiful, just a little dark. The service was great. The food was so favorable in every bite. Although the pepper was a little strong on the pasta. This is definitely a place to try.

What an unforgettable experience! Booked this restaurant for an anniversary dinner, and not a single thing disappointed.
Our server Chad was exceptional, and left a lasting impression on each dish that was served.
They claim to have the best espresso martini, and I can confirm that this is accurate (see picture).
All of the dishes were prepared exceptionally, and the food came out very quickly. We ordered the cob salad, gnocchi, some other starters, and chicken piccata. All of which was delicious! They even gave us complimentary champagne as a toast.
Thank you for an awesome anniversary dinner!

We came here on a whim on a random Sunday for brunch after attending a church ceremony nearby, and first and foremost I have to say the service was IMPECCABLE. Absolutely wonderful - I’m so sad I can’t remember our server’s name she was so impressive and knowledgeable and charming - just wonderful!! Additionally the food was outstanding - we had the breakfast sandwich and also the fried chicken on toast (a better variation of chicken and waffles to me!) and I was blown away. I also ordered a latte that had this cute little zebra design on it and was delicious! And we finished off with a cocktail that was absolutely delicious! I would absolutely love to come back and try the dinner! Exquisite restaurant! Bravo! 💕💕💕

I was just there for my second time and it was just as good as I remember. Catie and her team took amazing care of us. I feel like you can't go wrong with anything you order. The mafaldine is my personal favorite. Thanks for another amazing experience.

In the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast is an Italian restaurant that brings Northern and Southern cuisine together in a menu filled with shared plates, homemade pasta, meats and seafood. And a bread service that is not to be missed! (see video on Inspiring Kitchen Instagram)
When you walk in the door at @adalinachicago, you get a vision of what the design element will be once you go upstairs to the restaurant. The chandeliers, large open windows, dark ambience, modern style and bustling energy surrounds you. While I definitely am intrigued by menus, how a restaurant designs their space is just as interesting to me. The details tell a story on a plate and in their use in the restaurant’s surroundings.
While Adalina’s interior is elegant, it is also comfortable and welcoming. Excellent customer service even in remembering the smallest requests. Make a reservation and see for yourself.
Our dinner:
⭐️Bread Service
⭐️Caviar Service
⭐️Truffle Caesar Salad
⭐️Salmon Vesuvio -

Loved this place. The service was great. We were kind of a loud group, but they were great. Ordered lots of appetizers. Had the lamb, branzino, veal chop, scallops. Would definitely go again.

Exceptional! Amazing! Fabulous! Can't wait to go back! My new favorite restaurant in the world! Service is exceptional. Food (art) is sooo amazing. My wife and I love this beautiful restaurant. The murals and lighting could not be more elegant. Deco! Will be back often. I don't think I have ever seen a restaurant staff operate as efficient as this one. Chef is next level super amazing! Music is perfect! Energy is addictive. I didn't want to leave but felt guilty holding the table and denying the next patrons the wonderful experience that we had. My new favorite!
Did I say elegant???
Love this beautiful restaurant.

Here’s what you need to know: this is a super popular Gold Coast eatery and it’s location dictates it’s focus. The food is just OK, (desserts are excellent though) but it’s the lovely “see and be seen” atmosphere that has its guests coming in.
Service is good not great. Bussing team is trained to quickly remove everything from the table even if they interrupt you while you’re serving your own plate from a main sharing plate on the table.
Overall, all the food was somewhat enjoyable but unmemorable with the exception of the deconstructed pesto bell pasta and the desserts. The bread service was enjoyable too. Everything else from the octopus to the truffle salad to the seafood pasta to the gnocchi and the prosciutto was fine and serviceable but nothing to write home about. All the appetizers are very, very creamy and cheesy with no acid to counter the richness. That Imbalance was stark.
With wine, we spend $400 on 4 persons

When here for brunch when it opened and it was not busy. There were only a few tables occupied. I got the breakfast sandwich, it was enormous. It came with this nice crispy hash brown that really made the sandwich. Prices were reasonable for this part of town. Service was a bit slow as there was only 1 guy waiting on all the tables.

Great place for a high class evening. Soft and relaxing indoor ambiance with a fantastic patio section too. The service was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The food was delicious, but the portions were on the smaller side.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I was impressed with their expresso martini. Their New Zealand oysters were amazing. My favorite was their gnocchi. OMG!

Came here a couple weeks ago but since I’m still dreaming of the deconstructed pesto pasta, I had to leave a review. The pasta was phenomenal, and now I’m starting to understand why Susie can’t do store bought pesto. (IYKYK). I also have to give a shoutout to our server whose name is escaping me, but he was a tall gentleman with glasses. He was so patient with my girlfriends and I, by providing us spot on descriptions on the cocktails and suggestions on the dinner menu, he was truly beyond gracious. He even surprised me for my birthday with a tart, it made our evening feel all the more special. Can’t wait to visit soon.

PIATTINI Bread Service with hand mada pastas... Delicious Food.

I had an overall good experience at Adalina. We had the bread service and gnocco fritto for appetizers, both were delicious. I had the "Pesto not Pesto" Capanelle, which was also delicious. This was a great portion size for an entree. For drinks, I had the "Here we Go Again" and the espresso martini, and I found them both to be wonderfully made. Our server was respectful, timely, and helpful. It is beautifully decorated, and had a lively, upscale atmosphere. The only inconvenience we experienced was that had a table of 6, but our table was fairly close to another table, and two members of our party were unable to sit comfortably at the table due to their chair being backed up too closely to the person behind them. We also had a vent above us that was dripping water on to our table.

An amazing dining experience. Our server Alex went above and beyond to accommodate food allergies and gave us great recommendations (the Girella was fantastic) The strawberry dessert was phenomenal, one of the best desserts I’ve eaten. Will definitely return when visiting Chicago

Adalina was a beautiful environment & the service was exceptional. They went out of their way to make us feel at home & make our night special! The waiter that we had was amazing, and introduced us to Ron who went above and beyond for my friend & I visiting from Canada 🇨🇦. The food was phenomenal & the wait staff was so informative. They even helped us out, invited us back the next evening & showed us around. I will be absolutely recommending Adalina to all of my friends and will be back! Thanks Ron & staff, from “the Calgary girls”!
Jenna Cooley
Beautiful place with top notch service. What we ordered was good but nothing blew me away. That being said, I’d definitely be willing to go back and try other dishes.
