    The interior and service is top notch. But the food is over creative, too much sauces in each dish, not allowing to get a taste of the main ingredient , such as bur burrata or octopus. Don't even try the desserts, it's embarrassing for Italian cuisine. They ruined the classic Tiramisu with the ice cream and the cake itself was very mushy. The other one called pannacotta cake ,is even worth. Simple piece of a biscuit topped with something very sweet , but far from pannacotta cheese taste. Finally alcohol is very expensive , especially domestic red vines are more expensive than Italian, which cost $15 in the stores ,but they sell for $60, not even mentioning Californian vines, which start from $100 up to $300 or more. For one time experience maybe ok, but not for regular dining.

    The service was horrific. And I'm in service. It took 20 mins to just get a cocktail. A friend with celiac ordered gluten free so they took it upon them selves to make ALL of our food gluten free. Needless to say, it was awful. The drinks were ok, but overpriced. The team was WAY more invested in catering to the D List Celebrity that was dining with them. I don't care who is dining, it shouldn't hinder our experience. I'll make sure to pass this along to my large network of people I am Connected with who enjoy Going out and eating great food. I was embarrassed as I was entertaining out of town quests. It wasn't our specific server that was the issue, he was great, there were too many "cooks in the kitchen" as they say. I went 1/2 my meal with no utensils After asking for flatware multiple times. At this price point and caliber we expected much more. I wish yall luck. Never again!

    Bartender was great, food was really good average portion. The Bad - Host/Hostesses did not listen when I told them I paid my bill at the bar and was waiting for my table with a reservatio for a table (had to tell these idiots two separate times). This BS with telling the manager and it seemed he would do nothing about it when they only have one job and wasted 20 minutes of my life and spent hundreds at their restaurant . My waitress was nothing special and seemed she hated her job. It’s a good place but the service could be better they are thousands of choices in Chicago would love to get a drink here again but never to dine in.
    AdalinaResponded 4 days ago

    Adalina is a lovely choice if you're looking for a place with great vibes and friendly service. However, I found myself wishing for a bit more when it came to the food and drink selection. Given the price point and the other fantastic dining options in Chicago, I felt a touch disappointed with the quality of the dishes. Some of the drinks didn’t quite hit the right balance, and a few plates seemed to miss the mark on flavor. I hope they can elevate their (tasting) menu, as I genuinely believe they have the potential to shine.
    AdalinaResponded 4 days ago

    Meatballs were solid, great happy hour deal on wine. The pesto not pesto is one of the worst pasta dishes I’ve personally ever had, and the octopus was pretty overcooked.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon for a much improved experience. Best, Sofia, Adalina Team
