For the money, just average food and service. Host staff needs major overhaul.
We are from Virginia, and had made reservations 2 months in advance. We had been previously in 2019 and had one of the best dining experience we’d ever had. After raving about this place to the couple who traveled with us and are first timers to Chicago, our experience was very disappointing. Our reservation was for 730 and we didn’t get seated until almost 9pm. We had requested “Chad” based on our first experience, and were willing to wait a little time, but it became ridiculous and we kept getting promised by the host/hostess station “any minute”. When we were finally starved beyond belief we asked for the next available and the hostess said they had a table for us and never came back. We decided to leave and I stopped by the hostess station and this woman assured us our table ready…and I was cautious to believe her. We got seated, they gave us complimentary appetizers, which were greatly appreciated since we were famished. After alllllllll that, the food was average as was Chad, our server. The place was super loud, so do not expect any table discussion while dining. We were very embarrassed to subject our friends to what we had basically promised was going to be an amazing experience. Maybe management has changed since 2019. We love Chicago…and there is crazy good food there….on to find a new favorite.
Be the first to ReplyGreat place!!
What an amazing find! From start, with Mara taking our reservation, to the wonderful desert combo, all served by the amazing Emily Sanchez, what a night. The ambiance was great, the service fantastic, and the food ... well amazing. Thanks also to the GM/Sommelier Peter Lopez who recommended a great wine, perfectly matching the flavor profile my wife described, and it was not the most expensive wine on the list, instead, just what we asked for. To all at Adalina, thanks. What a wonderful evening!
Be the first to ReplyA special occasion restaurant by price, with great food and service.
Very tasty versions of popular foods like Caesar salad and pesto. Amazingly tasty gnocchi. Waiters in formal clothes. Good, friendly service and advice. Expensive.

Wonderful! This restaurant was recommended by a bartender at The Brass Tack in the Waldorf Astoria. We walked across the street and had a wonderful meal! The homemade pasta is delicious. Will definitely return on our next visit to Chicago
Be the first to ReplyGood but lacking in service
The decor is phenomenal. A very sensual and visually appealing dining room and bar. Service was lacking, our server was not attentive (we sat in a booth at the bar area). She was offering us dessert but we had not even gotten our entrees. The food is good but portions are small. We had to pick dessert twice since they were out of the first two things we chose. The food runner paid more attention to our table than the server and he truly was fantastic. The manager (Miles) was kind enough to ask how our dinner was and after listening to our feedback about dessert he extended an invitation for us to return and make things right. I am not sure if I would go back since there are restaurants that offer a higher end experience for a similar price.
Be the first to ReplyWOW!
OK, so it's a bit on the noisy side....and if that bothers you, don't go here, and certainly don't do a review as you were warned! It's noisy as people are happy here, having a great time and love this place! First, our server Chad was amazing, full of energy and excitement for the menu, with great recommendations and pacing of the meal. His service team was also excellent, clearing at just the right time and never letting a water glass get less than half full. The room is gorgeous and perfectly lit. But the show is the food, which we found priced at a solid value given the exceptional restaurant location and quality/freshness/inventiveness of what is being served. We shared every item, and I am glad we did, as the food is nicely filling and rich. The bread service is a must. The asparagus salad had wonderful texture to it, as did every item, as they think about how to put something nicely crunchy with each food item that provides great texture. The chitarra and mafaldine pastas were delicious, but don't expect your traditional Italian with a big bowl of pasta and some sauce--you have never had Italian quite like this, and it's some of the best we have had. The lamb chops were generous with 4 double chops, and every bit perfectly cooked medium rare (recommended, as they otherwise come medium) and VERY high quality and flavorful. The wine list is extensive, and I had the most wonderful $5 mocktails I could every dream of, beautifully presented. Our party of three felt that this was one of the best meals we have had in a long time, and it's a must go to.
Be the first to ReplyFood allergies? Lots of luck.
The waiter and the chef were not the least bit accommodating to my garlic allergy!! while the restaurant has an extensive menu, I was offered ONE entree that I could have. It came without any special preparation, very bland and over cooked. They made it sound like I was a huge inconvenience with a food allergy, and made me feel guilty that i even brought it up. Last time I checked, there were over 10,000 spices to use in cooking. Unacceptable for the outrageous price I paid. I went home hungry, and made dinner at home.
Be the first to ReplyHow hard is Italian??
Party atmosphere and quite busy on a Tuesday but sadly not really great food. Most dishes were disappointing. Saddest was the pasta with “lamb bolognese” which showed up with so little lamb in it that you had to pick through to find it and the “bolognese” was just ground lamb with spices & onions - no tomatoes or creaminess to it. Oh well!
Be the first to ReplyGno Way!!
I feel like the Gnocchi should be heralded by angels! You don't chew it, you put it in your mouth and become one with it. The rest of the food is as good. The atmosphere is chic and the reservations are a month out.
Be the first to ReplyExpensive brunch, but did not disappoint.
We had stumbled upon this fairly new restaurant ( just over 1 year) as we were walking the neighborhood, and the pastry chef was having a bake sale to benefit PAWS. The baked goods looked great so we bought a few items. The Pastry chef suggested that we take a look inside. The inside looked classy but yet comfortable/not stuffy. We made reservations for brunch the next day. Went home and read some bad reviews. Based on some of the reviews about Brunch at Adalina, we were tempted to cancel our reservation. Glad we gave this restaurant a chance. Yes the Brunch options are limited but they were delicious. Portions were larger than it first appeared. We ordered 1 item from the sweets section, 2 appetizers, and 1 from the brunch section. Could have eliminated 1 item, since we were so full. We ordered the sourdough croissant, meatballs, gnocco fritto, and duck. All were tasty but the standout was definitely the gnocco. Creative variation to a typical charcuterie plate, with puffy bread, prosciutto, and ricotta with honey. The drinks were also delicious. Music was needed to drown out the chatter, which was surprisingly nosy. Though we would have expected the music to be jazz, they had a singer playing more modern tunes. He had a nice voice suited for the pleasant atmosphere. Be aware that the restaurant adds additional service charge (about 3-4%) to the bill and included in the taxes line. Overall, a very nice brunch that was slightly more costly than other choices but definitely worth the $$$.
Be the first to ReplyHorribly average in like all ways. Let the nightmare end.
I think it deserves one star but my dining companion said two stars. Horribly average. Very brusque waiter that referred to himself as Daddy. I wanted noodles not a BDSM top. Inside is like a club. I didn’t want a club. I wanted good Italian food. The menu is so unappealing. I thought if you could really focus on bland, basic, uninspired food then that’s really your choices. Basic, normal, average, desirous of being special: that’s how I would off my opinion. I can’t even remember the food.
Be the first to ReplyChicago's newest upscale Italian destination
You know a restaurant is outstanding when every review is praiseworthy as in "best meal we've had in Chicago" and "great everything." No negative reviews. No exaggeration. Chef Soo Ahn is batting 1.000 with Adalina, a small but sophisticated Italian bistro spotlighting hand-made pastas and Wagyu strips and curated wine list. Located at 912 North State Street, it is Chicago's newest upscale Italian destination, a classy dining room and bar with a club-like atmosphere and an outdoor patio. Open from 5 to 10 Monday through Thursday, 5 to 11 on Friday, 10 to 11 on Saturday and 10 to 9 on Sunday, Adalina specializes in tender pasta and steaks drizzled in eight-year aged balsamic. My wife and I started with a unique bread service featuring garlic stuffed bread, shrimp cocktail and truffled Caesar salad with black garlic, parmigiano reggiano, pink peppercorn and yuzu. For her entree, my wife chose veal chop parmigiana with basil and spicy tomato, charred broccoli and crispy fingerling potatoes. I couldn't resist Branzino--I order the tasty and meaty Mediterranean whitefish whenever it appears on a menu--with Swiss chard and pine nuts, mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. For dessert, we shared tiramisu with chocolate gelato and a butterscotch sundae with passion fruit, pineapple gelato and brown butter. If you haven't heard about Adalina yet...well, judging by the fact that there were no empty tables during our visit, the word is out.
Be the first to ReplyBest meal we’ve had in Chicago!
Fantastic dining experience: gorgeous ambiance, attentive service, and the food - every dish we ordered was incredible. Recommend ordering the polpettine (meatballs) and cacio e pepe arancini as starters, the “pesto” pasta and veal chop parmigiana. Great cocktails. A bit pricey for Chicago but well worth it!
Be the first to ReplyIncredible and justifiably popular Chicago Restaurant
Everything we enjoyed was incredible and the service was as well. Ask your server to provide recommendations from the menu so you don't miss out on the specialties of the house. The restaurant isn't very large and it is very popular and can get loud. Still, don't let that deter you from visiting this gem.
Be the first to ReplyVery Good, Not Elite
Food is very good and the service was even and attentive. Had the lamb, which was prepared a shade over the medium rare I ordered, but otherwise solid. Great wine list.
Two negatives keep this from being 5 star: It’s a smallish space so, when full, is very loud. Also, as sides are a la carte, it gets pricey with add-ons. Don’t mind paying top dollar for a premium meal. This didn’t get to that level.
Date Night
Great restaurant experience. The staff is attentive and the food is cooked to perfection. I mistakenly ordered the wrong dish and they swapped it out quickly and were very accommodating. Also, the restaurant is nicely decorated. I will visit the restaurant again when I visit the city on my next trip.
Be the first to ReplyWay. Too. Loud.
The food is very good, as is the service. There are several house-made pasta dishes; gnocchi della nonna excellent, very good mafaldine & limoncello, corn ravioli decent, except dry/bland truffles, brown butter tart lackluster. The decor & ambiance aren't as upscale as the prices, and customer comfort isn't top-of-the-list.
Unfortunately the whole experience is marred by the noise level. It is not enjoyable or relaxing to have to yell to be heard, or lean halfway over the table to converse with your dining partner; that alone is a deal-breaker, though way too close table-spacing (especially in the Covid era) is a close 2nd.
Overpriced
The front of the house in this fairly new restaurant offers superb service at all positions starting with the valet at the entrance, The overall feel is one of luxury and the interior is improved and lightened somewhat from the previous restaurant which operated at the same location (but still contains the oppressively dark steak house style dark wood panelling). The bar makes tasty cocktails and, like the restaurant itself, draws an upscale clientele. The food offerings are very expensive (ie. $10 for bread) and is just not very good, Our Hazelnut Blondie desert, as an example, tasted like a supermarket grade crumble cake with jelly topped by a small scoop of gelato and tasted vile,
Be the first to ReplyMixed feelings about this
We were celebrating a birthday on a Saturday night at this 2-month-old upscale Italian restaurant in Chicago's Gold Coast. The restaurant is on the second floor in a large room with big windows, dark-painted walls, and tables with white linen tablecloths. Waiters wear tuxedoes. The printed menu is small; the house-made pastas change regularly. They did not have specials in addition to the menu items which I expected. There is a large staff of waiters, hosts and supervisors roaming the floor with iPads to keep things on track. There's a sommelier and a big wine list of Italian, French, American and some Spanish wines. The by-the-glass options were reasonably priced and I got a generous pour.
The food was delicious and plates are meant to be shared. We ordered 4 items: the charred octopus which came cut into bite-size chunks in a creamy sauce; a grilled Caesar salad with crisp, thin house-made cheesy "croutons"; mafaldine, a long ribbon like pasta with artichoke and whole mint leaves, among other ingredients which was the stand-out dish; and lamb chops which were a rack of lamb cut into 4 chops, served medium and I thought over-salted.
Service was deft. Water was constantly refilled; plates and cutlery were changed for each course and brought with serving pieces. The first 3 items came promptly. Then we had a l-o-n-g wait for the lamb chops with no explanation. As the dishes were removed, the waitress left a dessert menu which we perused and made our choice. Then we had another l-o-n-g wait . After 2 hours at the table, we gave up and ordered the check instead of dessert and coffee. The main reason we fled the scene was the incredible din that was headache inducing. It made conversing impossible as you had to lean halfway across the table and shout to be heard.
As they knew it was a birthday, they brought a cupcake with a candle on the dish with the check, which was nice.
They had an issue with their P.O.S. machine and couldn't run credit cards. The waitress had to write down the card info and said they would sent a receipt by email later.
The waitress thanked us and we left. None of the hosts or doorkeepers at the entrance thanked us for coming; they all were looking at their devices.
This is a hot, stylish new restaurant. It's a place where the female patrons show off their party clothes and lots of skin, much to the enjoyment of the birthday boy who gave a running commentary on his observations of their fashion choices.
Bottom line: the food is good and worth seeking out but the noise level made for an unpleasant evening. Dinner for 2 with 2 glasses of wine, four food items but no dessert or coffee, came to $180 with tax before tip. Probably par for a fine-dining Gold Coast location.
They offer valet parking.
We had a fabulous dinner at Adalina
We had a fabulous dinner at Adalina. It is very high energy and has a fantastic vibe. It gets a very attractive clientele. The food is delicious, the owner gave us their best server and the decor is beautiful. The drinks were also very good. We had great martinis. The location is on State Street near Walton. They have valet parking. I highly recommend Adalina. It is one of the most popular new restaurants in Chicago
