This was my first Italian restaurant experience in Germany and how it did NOT disappoint!…read more
We needed a spot that was open late at night without reservation on Friday, since my husband didn't get off work until 9PM. This is actually pretty difficult to find for a non-pub, but Bistrorante Da Adriana is a full service restaurant that opens late (11 PM) and had very comfortable dining. Their ambiance is that of a casual-upscale versus rustic Italian, but you can most certainly come in with casual attire. The hostess was super friendly and lit candles at the table for the mood while we peruse their HUGE menu of fresh pastas, salads, pizzas, and drinks.
I ordered the classic carbonara with spaghetti pasta, husband ordered the salmone with spaghetti pasta, and we shared a tartufo Italian ice cream. I love ordering classics as my way of testing restaurant's ability to make staples and chef did not disappoint! The prosciutto was generous and you can clearly taste the parmesan and egg yolks. But my husband's salmon pasta was exquisite, I was SO JEALOUS of his pasta. The sauce was flavor packed and rich with salmon flavor without being overly fishy. You can sense the small bits of salmon without it being texturally chunky. And the tartufo ice cream was a perfect finish to the evening, perfectly sweet cold and presented beautifully on a platter. All this food for LESS than 40 Euro with two non-alcoholic drinks. Extremely affordable, especially considering the portion quality and service.
I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who has dietary concerns (HUGE selection of vegetarian options), need comfortable seating/non-smoking (I'm pregnant so this was PERFECT for me), large parties, and a late-night spot in the heart of Kaiserslautern. This little unknown spot definitely checks all those boxes and we will definitely come back here.
