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.

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.

Great spot to meet friends for brunch or get takeout! Numerous healthy options and delicious…read moredrinks. We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

I got the market salad with grilled chicken which was very filling and packed with flavor. The grilled chicken was an add on so cost a little bit more than $25 but still an amazing deal. 10/10 recommend!

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

Sarge’s Delicatessen & Diner - Nicely sliced pastrami sandwich which I probably would have liked the bread lightly toasted for some texture. Meat was flavorful

What's new? Is that a VEGAN Pastrami and Ruben on the menu?!? Holy Cow who did not have to lay…read moredown their life?! Wow. I never thought I'd see the day a Jewish Deli would consider some vegan dupes of classics - but wow - way to be on trend and health conscious to help cut down the heart disease and cholesterol meds. I'm here for it and couldn't believe my Vegan friend would ever get a chance to get close to the classic NY Jewish Deli experience in a vegan context. To be clear- they still serve up the real stuff too- but I just need to put it out there how rare and kind of amazing this is for an OG spot like Sarge's. It's been 9 years since my last review here and- wow, we've come full circle. Also- congrats to making it through and out the other side of the pandemic- many businesses did not, but it's nice to see an institution like Sarge's survive a serious hit like that, it means the community cares too. What's still good- OG 1960's-70's diner vibes and booths- a place your grands can feel at home, but very well maintained and clean. Portions that send you home full even if you're just ordering soup or a side of French fries- you will not leave this grand's house hungry ya'll. Classic flavors that come from recipes before artificial flavors were a thing- made with real bone broths that will keep your hair, skin, and nails shiny with collagen.

The pastrami sandwich was okay. Lean, thinly sliced, not overly salty. I finished the entire…read moresandwich, but... I was left wanting more. Since the pastrami was so thinly sliced, I was actually still hungry. For the same price as Katz's, (around $29), I would still prefer Katz's just because of the hand sliced pastrami nd there's just so much more flavor. Service was awful. These older ladies walking around like zombies with zero personality, you can tell they hate being there. Nice to knock this off my list, but I'm going back to Katz's on my next NYC visit.
