“ Our waitress was very friendly & helpful. We ordered the Fried Calamari to start. For dinner, we ordered the Shrimp Scampi ($5 extra with pasta) & the Pan-Seared Scallops. The food was very good, and the servings are very generous! The tiramisu was also delicious. ”

“ This has been our 5th time coming - it's just consistently delicious. Strangely when we pulled up it looked like it was boarded up, maybe it's to prevent a cold draft but thankfully it's still there! Parking lot was empty. We had our almost two year old that had to tag along for dinner and they were very accommodating- the server was able to adjust menu items as we needed for dietary needs and when our little guy was getting bored they brought over a piece of paper to draw on. We went during a week day and barely 5 couples in there. I was able to walk around with our little guy (which in the past and on a weekend would never happen) - my son took an interest to peek into the kitchen and all the cooking staff were nice let him take a good look at the team in action. Thanks Adriana's again for wonderful food and kind /accommodating team and servers! ”

“ This restaurant and its staff are AMAZING! We had a celebratory luncheon here. Tony gave us our own room and it was nice and spacious and private. The service was impeccable! The waiters remembered what everyone drank and was quickly and efficiently on hand in case anyone needed anything. The food was wonderful and was served family style, with large portions. Amazing food, wonderful servers and a good price. We will definitely be back! ”

“ Huge portions, attentive service. The lobster tagliatelle I ordered was enough for 3 people. We had two appetizers which was enough to feed our party of 5. Beef carpaccio with a delicious arugula salad, and seafood stuffed clams which were mediocre. Overall solid and a great place for our Christmas Eve dinner. Dessert included homemade tiramisu and crème brûlée - both yum. ”

“ service very prompt and attentive, lit for dinner and amazing, food top notch!!! Everything on the menu is amazing. portions hearty! ”

“ We came here on our trip to New England found this restaurant in search of italian food and all I can say is WOW. From the appetizers to the drinks this place did it right for us. Service was great very attentive. Food was impressive and the amount they serve is great to share as it is in large portions. I had an expresso martini and this was heaven. I highly recommend of in the area. ”

“ Real people serving real food. Ambiance is nice in the bar. Specials: (steaks, sea bass and pasta are all great). Eggplant parm as an app is fantastic. They also have some good wines by the bottle and they know what to recommend. This is One of our favorites in the area. ”

“ After going to ADRIANA'S charming Italian restaurant on Grand Avenue in New Haven for decades, today's lunch was definitely the most impressive ever. Chef Federico provided the finest quality, outstanding freshness and a truly tantalizing dining experience. The flavors of our meals were astounding and the presentation was nothing short of spectacular. The homemade pasta was abundant with flavorful juicy lobster. For those of you have never tried Osso Bucco this is the place to experience it. The tantalizing flavor of the veal shank melts in your mouth. The bewitching saffron risotto was the perfect accompaniment to this delicious and irresistible dinner. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Frank, Laura and Carmen were professional, attentive, enthusiastic, caring, and truly a pleasure to interact with as they anticipated our every need before we even knew we had it. The restaurant was super clean and well organized. There is convenient parking right in front of the restaurant and off the street. Overall, the meal was dazzling and kudos to Chef Federico for these divine entrees! ”

“ Amongst a sea of quality New Haven Italian restaurants, Adriana's still manages to stand out with their massive portion sizes. The prices on the menu may initially raise some eyebrows, but when the food arrives on giant platters spilling over the edges of your table, it starts to make a little more sense. The dishes we have tried so far have all been tasty and have a pleasantly light flavor profile. For example, I was expecting the Papardelle Al'Astico (lobster pappardelle) to be heavy, but the cream sauce was well-balanced and the addition of artichoke hearts rounded out the dish nicely. With a free parking lot, huge portions, and solid dessert and coffee, Adriana's is a well-rounded Italian option in the area. Great for a date night or family dinner! ”
