I always have enjoy eating at Adriatico's, the food is always fresh, delicious and natural. If you like oversized portions this is not your place, this is more true italian without the over sauced, over seasoned food that is served at many other chain Italian places. They have a nice wine selection and have a great staff that is very attentive. When I return to the Orlando area, I always have Adriatico's on my list of places to return to.

My girlfriend and I wanted to eat at the Adriatico Trattoria Italiana after reading the reviews here and we were not disappointed! It was a bit pricey, but we used coupons from http://Restaurant.com which made the tab palatable.
We started with Bruschetta. The ingredients were fresh and the flavor popped in my mouth. I wasn't a big Bruschetta fan before, but I am now.
For our entrees, I had the Pollo al Limone (chicken picatta?) and my girlfriend had the Ravioli di Aragosta (Maine lobster ravioli in vodka sauce). My entree came with mixed veggies and roasted potatoes.
My entree was mouthgasmic! The lemon-butter sauce was flavorful without being too rich, the veggies were fresh, and the potatoes were oven-hot. My girlfriend raved that her entree had real lobster and the sauce was amazing.
Our server was prompt and friendly, the food was fresh and well-prepared... we're *DEFINITELY* going back! -

Some time ago, I was told by a friend that the food here is awesome and the price is reasonable. She was right! A few months ago, I went to Adriatico and had to wait for a friend for a while. The manager was nice, I started chatting with him for about half an hour. The owners (and Chef) are from Italy, which is not as common as most would think, which made for great conversation about cuisine.
Then, we got to sit down in this tiny restaurant, very Manhattanish - but not on top of one another. The menu was quite simple but everything we tried was delicious. We tried their gnocchi della casa with cold cuts, fettucini alla genovese and my friend got the old faithful veal marsala. I didn't sample her food (it was thoroughly guarded) but the gnocchi is a must try. The bruschetta pomodoro was also a fabulous addition and I had my eye on the Caprese salad next to me, but just didnt have the appetite to totally gorge myself. I really enjoyed my entree because the pasta there is homemade and the sauce is rich and filling. $14 for the pasta is such a steal!
We ended with a tiramisu to share which was just right. The whole dinner was about $80 with wine, with all things considered, a good price. I recommend it and will be back. -

This restaurant was definitely average. We had to send a penne pasta back to replace it with Shrimp Fra Diablo pasta dish which only contained 3 shrimps for $20. The penne pasta tasted like a lean cuisine. I had a roasted vegetable ravioli with a mushroom cream sauce and that was delicious. However, quite small. We also ordered the Caprese salad and that was average.
This was definitely not our first choice for good Italian in Orlando... -

Good food but pricey. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The antipasto misto appetizer is great to share. I had the mussels and clams appetizer served in a red sauce and that was tasty as well. We finished with the homemade tiramisu.
It is family-owned which is nice. Our waiter was not very good and, we did go there are the end of the night.
Overall, it was a nice experience. -

I've probably been to Adriatico a half dozen times since it opened a few years ago. So this one is long overdue.
Thinking about this restaurant brings two things to my mind: fantastic food and great wine.
Sitting down we were immediately presented with three apps: Bruschetta al Pomodoro, Calamari alla Napoletana and Mozzarella Caprese. Sounds like your standard fare of Italian apps, right? But the first bite will make you realize why Adriatico stands above the rest. It's all about the seasoning. Anyone can make bruschetta: bread, olive oil, tomatoes, garlic and basil. Same goes with Caprese. But what I find in restaurants is that most are afraid to season. In my mind, salt and pepper do not belong on a table because, well, guests should not have to use them to season food. Most people do not realize that salt should not be utilized to make food more salty, but to enhance and accentuate the flavors already present in the food. It's the same with acidity in wine: too much can be overwhelming, but not enough will lead to a flat and one dimensional wine.
Point being, the apps popped with flavor and were delicious. And it's probably worth the trip just to try the Neapolitan sauce that is served with the Calamari.
I ordered the Filet with Artichokes and Barolo reduction for my entree. (See above.) And you know what? They also cook a great steak! Perfectly medium rare in another flavorful sauce, I literally ate everything on my plate. My only negative comment is the inconsistent knife cuts that made the carrots look odd and the potatoes either over or undercooked.
We also enjoyed our favorite wine offered at Adriatico-the Zenato Ripassa. Quick wine lesson: Ripassa is from the Valpolicella region in Italy (near Verona). Translated as "re-passing", the wine is passed over the lees (solids) of a wine called Amarone. It leads to a very rich wine with stewed dark fruit flavors that really compliment full bodied Italian entrees.
So next time you're near College Park, I'd recommend that you drop by and have dinner. The restaurant itself is comfortable, non-pretentious and always dependable. -

This is one of our favorite places to eat in town. We have been about four times and have enjoyed ourselves each time. The food is always very tasty. The atmosphere is intimate and the owners are very friendly. We like to come here for special occasions. A couple of years back they were open on Christmas Eve. We didn't have reservations, but we were sat right away. They had a person playing Christmas music and they just really made our evening special. It can be pricey, but you can also find some dishes that are not too pricey. However, everything tastes amazing and fresh. I would recommend this place highly!

Stopped in for lunch today (12.27.11) with friends visiting from London. Our first time but reviews were good and it was conveniently located to the Orlando Science Center. The food was good, the tiramisu is made on site and is excellent! A small homey, quaint place out of the way that is not a chain. Service was excellent and they did a good job putting up with 3 kinds under 2 years old. They only have one high chair and one booster seat for the small kids. Parking was good in the lot in the back. We will go back again.

We have been going to Adriatico since they opened in 2007. It is just great! Try any item on the menu and I think you will agree. Chef Marco is in the kitchen and his wife, Rosetta, runs the front of house. She hugs the regulars when they come in. How can you go wrong? Great food, very welcoming!
