A wonderfully cozy Italian restaurant with truly excellent service. The intimate space makes reservations a must. The staff is attentive without being intrusive--my water glass was never empty. I forgot to photograph the Bellini, but it deserves special mention: made with fresh peach juice, it was easily the best Bellini I've ever had. I began with complimentary bread, followed by the pasta special of the day--perfectly cooked and finished with freshly shaved black truffle. To end the meal, I had the crostata di mele, which was delightful! Similar to an apple tart. It's a pricey restaurant, but the food quality definitely matches the price.

Lovely, cozy, and authentic Italian spot in the UES serving handmade pastas. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Plus, it was not hard at all to get a reservation on a Friday night. La Chiantigiana di Adriano ($28) - I was initially drawn to this option of "cocoa nibs pasta" expecting it to have some sort of unique cocoa flavor. However, it sort of just tasted like normal pasta, albeit pretty good pasta with tomato sauce and slow cooked braised beef. The interior is not that big but has a nice cozy vibe with dimmed lighting, making for a great date spot. The service speed is fairly quick. And I have to mention again that the staff are really great. Overall, while the pasta wasn't all that special, the vibes and service were and so Da Adriano gets a solid 4 stars from me.

Obsessed with this place - service was so genuine and incredible, the vibes outside were perfect, and the food was great. Sit outside w a spritz and split some cacio e pepe and focaccia

Little cozy Italian spot in UES. Came here as "homemade" ingredients are just very important for Italian Food. We shared couple items - Focaccia filled with mortadella, stracciatella and pistachio pesto - LOVE the flavor combination, thought the focaccia started to be a bit dry, maybe coz later of the day? Regardless it was still a good appetizer sandwich. Lasagna - it wasn't a very pretty Lasagna but I enjoyed each bite a lot. La Chiantigiana di Adriano - tomato sauce was on a milder side, would love a more robust flavor. Warm place with friendly and welcoming staffs here.

Spaghetti Pomodoro

Authentic UES Gem - Best Crespelle in the City! If you're looking for a spot that feels less like a Midtown tourist trap and more like a hidden corner of Rome, Da Adriano is it. We stopped in for lunch and were honestly blown away by the quality of the pasta coming out of this kitchen. Here's the play-by-play of what to order: The Focaccia: They bring this out warm, and it's dangerous. Perfectly salted with a light, airy crunch. Try not to fill up on it, but honestly, no judgment if you do. The Crespelle: This was the absolute star of the show. Imagine the best parts of a lasagna--the crispy edges and the rich, cheesy center--but elevated. It's decadent, savory, and topped with just the right amount of cheese. Do not skip this. Meatballs: The meatballs at Da Adriano are a standout example of classic Italian comfort. They are homemade using a tender blend of veal and beef, which gives them a much lighter, more delicate texture than a standard all-beef meatball. Simmered in a bright, vibrant tomato sauce (polpette al sugo), they are finished with a generous dusting of salty Parmigiano-Reggiano. They manage to be incredibly juicy and rich without feeling heavy--the kind of meatballs that taste like they've been simmering on a grandmother's stove all Sunday morning. Cacio e Pepe: A masterclass in simplicity. The sauce was perfectly emulsified (no clumping here!) and had that sharp, floral kick of black pepper that stays on your tongue. The pasta was perfectly al dente. Spaghetti Pomodoro: A total classic. The red sauce is bright and fresh, topped with a mountain of cheese and a fragrant basil leaf. It's the ultimate comfort food done with high-end execution. The Vibe: The space is cozy and inviting--perfect for a long, lazy lunch. Note that the menu leans into the Breakfast & Lunch crowd, so it's the perfect sophisticated "daytime" Italian spot that doesn't feel rushed. Pro Tip: It's located right on 1st Ave (near 65th). If you're a local, this should be in your weekly rotation. If you're just visiting the UES, it's worth the walk!

We live four blocks from this restaurant, not sure why we have never tried it! We made a reservation for a Friday evening, and this place did not disappoint! We ordered the Blue Fin Tuna Tartar, OMG! It was absolutely delicious. It melts in your mouth! (Wish we took a pic) I had the TONNARELLI CACIO E PEPE and my husband had the LASAGNA. Both were SO good! We ordered dessert, we shared the TORTA DELLA NONNA it's a dough crust filled with pastry vanilla cream, pine nuts, delicious! We will definitely be back!!

Rigatoni all'Amatriciana

4.2 / 5.0 Italian Restaurant on 65th ST. You can enjoy authentic pasta in New York City, and the restaurant is always full right away! The pasta noodles are sticky and well mixed with the sauce! When I told the waitress that it was my friend's birthday,She surprised us with a dessert plate and a birthday song! Very sweet! The atmosphere of the restaurant is like being in a coffee shop.The restaurant's background music is not loud, so we were able to enjoy a relaxing meal with good conversation. I would like to go back because it is a child-friendly restaurant! What I ordered was: ・Rigatoni all'Amatriciana ・Tonnarelli cacio e pepe ・Tiramisu ・Iced latte macchiato

Crudo di San Daniele and Pollo
Jairo T.

Visited da Adriano's for a Saturday afternoon lunch. Great location in the UES. Pass by here regularly, has cozy vibes with a romantic feel. Not a huge space but has both inside/ouside seating. Service was friendly and relatively quick. We ordered the crudo di san daniele and pollo sandwiches. Both were great! Pollo has a zesty lemon chicken salad feel while the crudo is saltier and bolder flavor. Foccacia was fresh and crispy. Would definitely return for a dinner.

I had a very nice early dinner at da Adriano on a Thursday. It's a quaint restaurant in UES where I was able to walk in with no reservation. The service is excellent and the food is pretty good. I got the Cacio e Pepe, carrots, and a glass of one of the Montepulciano wines. While this place isn't quite Italy, they did a great job attempting to create the atmosphere in Manhattan.

Tuna tartare
Klara N.

We enjoyed a Saturday lunch at "Da Adriano". Such a great Italian spot! Everything is homemade and fresh. Loved the meatballs and the tuna tartare--absolutely delicious. The tiramisu was very light and tasty. Great service. Highly recommended!

Lasagna
Samari K.

Came here for dinner tonight and it exceeded our expectations! Everything was delicious! The meatballs, focaccia, bolognese, lasagna and tiramisu were all great! It felt like someone's Italian grandmother was in the kitchen making each dish with love! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's cozy and warm inside, limited tables. The staff is nice, the manager or owner was kind enough to bring us blankets when we got chilly while eating and watching the marathon runners today. The bolognese was yummy, and my friend and her mom enjoyed the focaccia sandwich and chicken caprese salad.

But when we opened up our plate of steamed chive momos upon getting home, it was a revelation. These are the best vegetarian (or vegan) momos I've had in the city. They have a mix of shredded tofu which gives an excellent blend of creaminess to the sharp taste of the chives. Truly delicious. The chutneys are also excellent - I liked the dry chili sauce best of all. Next time I will try the oyster mushrooms momos too.

I cannot say I was expecting the food to be this damn good out of a seemingly random Mexican place…read morethat just happened to be near where we were. I hadn't seen Tacos Gobernador on any Mexican restaurant menu before. These are sinaloan-style tacos, stuffed with the fresh shrimp abundant in the region. This is the second time I'm saying this in the first four sentences, but these were amazing. First of all - they were huge! Way larger than normal tacos, these tortillas stretch across the plate. The outsides are perfectly crisped up - these are kind of a mix between a soft & hard shell taco, but incorporating the best of both worlds. The amount of oil used in the grilling is perfect. What really makes these though, is the fillings. The shrimp is unbelievable - first of all, its the largest shrimp I've ever seen inside a taco. I mentioned how large these tacos are, but the shrimp bursts out of the top like a xenomorph out of a chest; there's little containment to be had here. These shrimp are seasoned astoundingly, turning practically a dark red from the spices used. Oh yeah, and the juiciness is just perfect. They are so well cooked. The other outstanding part is the cheese. The Oaxacan cheese is special - it's some of the best cheese I've ever had on a taco. Hot, soft, and stretchy with a perfect level of melting, it adds a crazy amount of flavor to each bite. The other toppings are solid, but some more onions would've helped I think. Also, the dipping sauce used is around average, and unnecessary. This was kind of expensive for 3 tacos - coming in at $25 before tax and tip. It was a ton of food though. Overall, a new variation of taco I think I'm absolutely in love with. 9.25/10

It can be a little confusing to find since it's a stand inside the market, not a separate store front. They carry a pretty wide variety of Asian flavor-inspired breads, pastries, cakes and cookies, including buns and some more dessert-type items. I checked out Progreso for an event this past weekend and ended up buying a few items to go: - matcha marble sponge cake $4.49: was fluffy, light and moist, good flavor of matcha and a light schmear of whipped cream in the middle. Would get this again! - taro cream puff $6.50: this was taro paste (? not sure if that's fully accurate though it felt more consistency of soft whipped taro than a traditional pastry cream) with whipped cream on top sandwiched by what I believe was choux pastry with craquelin. I think maybe because the this was sitting chilled/refrigerated for a while the top craquelin layer wasn't quite crispy anymore, though it looked nice. Personally it was a bit too much regular whipped cream, would've preferred more of a taro pastry cream. - mango pudding with fresh mango $6.50 mango flavor in the pudding was light though it was a nice tease of flavor. The texture was on the firmer side for puddings. The mangos were a bit oxidized though tasted ok, maybe glaze them or do something to maintain the color? Since this is a pretty new spot hope they could make a few improvements and blow it out of the park! I appreciated the owners' enthusiasm for sharing about their shop.
