This restaurant is close to the airport and has great reviews, why not try it out? My family and I were so glad we did! The service was phenomenal. Our waiter was so kind and accommodating (was with a difficult diner, who he was extremely patient with). Food was very good as well! We got a variety of dishes and everyone was happy with them. The space is small, but very cute and well kept. They have a gorgeous little patio which would be nice to sit at. read more

Come for the Lasagna, Not the Candlelight Romance We came here for a birthday dinner because we wanted to try something new, and by the end of the meal I found myself with two very different opinions: The food? Excellent. The ambiance? Let's talk about it. First, the good. The food was genuinely delicious. This feels like the kind of family-owned Italian restaurant where the focus is on what's coming out of the kitchen rather than what's hanging on the walls. Everything tasted like comfort food should; warm, satisfying, and made by people who care about the recipes. The service was also very good. In fact, the cook came out during our meal to ask how everything was. I was happy to tell him the food was fantastic because it absolutely deserved the compliment. Now for the not-so-good. We arrived around 5:30 PM, and the dining room was so quiet I could hear dishes being washed in the back. Not "pleasantly quiet." More "did everyone else know something I didn't?" quiet. For most of the meal there was no music at all. Just silence and the occasional clink of kitchen activity. They eventually turned on some background music shortly before we left, but it was so low that it felt more like a suggestion than actual ambiance. The tables, chairs, and overall décor are perfectly fine, but this isn't the place I'd choose for a romantic date night, anniversary dinner, or a birthday celebration where you're looking for a special atmosphere. What it is, however, is a great place to bring your spouse, kids, parents, in-laws, or anyone who appreciates good Italian comfort food without needing a white tablecloth experience. My advice? Come for the food. The food is worth it. If you're chasing ambiance, maybe lower your expectations or plan for a later dinner. The atmosphere seemed to improve after 6:30 PM as more people arrived. Bottom line: fantastic food, friendly service, family-dinner vibes. Just don't expect Tuscany. Expect comfort, and you'll leave happy. read more

Visiting from California, my sister brought me to Adela's Italian Restaurant for dinner, and it was such a great find. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint atmosphere, with wonderful background music that really enhances the experience. The staff is extremely friendly, and Jaime was amazing. He made sure everything about my visit was perfect. I had the tortellini with chicken, and my sister had the chicken Genevieve and both dishes were delicious. For dessert, we tried the housemade tiramisu, and it was outstanding. It wasn't overly sweet, just the right balance to perfectly finish the meal. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Honestly, it's too bad there isn't a place like this in San Diego. This is a spot I'd come back to over and over again hands down some of the best Italian food I've had. The atmosphere is perfect clean, quiet, and the little pond outside adds a nice touch. The garlic bread is a MUST. Soft, buttery, and packed with garlic exactly how it should be. The lobster ravioli is next level. You can actually see the lobster meat inside (no mystery filling like most places), and they top it with shrimp which takes it even further. The shrimp limoncello dish was also great big, fresh, flavorful shrimp cooked perfectly. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, and overall it's easily one of the best Italian meals I've had. Definitely a go-to spot anytime I'm in the area. read more

Let me tell you, this was one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to, I tried their homemade bread and that was so fluffy, a little hint of garlic, and it being warm was so good, I got their chicken fettuccine Alfredo and that was so good better than most restaurants in Arizona, it was creamy, noodles had a nice texture and overall good. The service was very good, our guy checked up on us every 5-10 mins and he was a chill and nice guy I like him. The bathroom is nice read more

Moving from Chicago recently, it's been rough finding a decent Italian restaurant. The establishment is very clean, has plenty of seating, and has a great atmosphere. Who was the middle of the day but we were seated immediately, serve promptly, and the service was very friendly. The fried calamari was delicious! They're sauce is the rights amount of sweet and savory. The ravioli was just as tasty, the house red paired with everything perfectly, and overall it was a great meal. read more

I made a reservation and when we showed up it was not busy at all. Inside was clean and it was in a strip mall. Ordered the bruschetta which was pretty good. I got the tortellini and my friend got the chicken picatta. I didn't try it but she didn't like it and sent it back. You could tell our waitress was offended by that but took it away after letting her know it was done right and she must not have had it the right way before. I liked my tortellini a lot . Great flavor - i didn't notice it came with mushrooms and forgot to cut them. I ate around them and the waitress said oh you don't like mushrooms? I Told her it was very good either way and no worries but couldn't help but feel like we annoyed her. read more

Service, like everyone says, is great. The tiramisu was out of this world! But the pasta sauce was bland with the fettuccine primavera, I was very sad, I should have added some pepper, something! Also, I signed up on their website for a $5 off coupon off drinks, but it arrived as off an entree or something else I deleted it, so they need to update their website. My partner had pollo parmigiana and didn't rave about it. I didn't like the dressing on the house salad. read more

We came in for a casual dinner and ended up talking about the food the whole drive home. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and clearly made with care. The gnocchi was the standout, soft, pillowy, and coated in a sauce that actually had depth instead of just being heavy. The lobster ravioli was rich without being overwhelming, with real lobster you can taste in every bite. We tried a few other dishes as well, and every plate came out hot, well‑seasoned, and beautifully done. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the atmosphere felt warm and relaxed, perfect for a date night or a nicer weeknight dinner. If you're looking for solid, high‑quality Italian food in the area, Adela's is absolutely worth the stop. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

This small restaurant is a hidden gem. It's family owned and run. It turns out Italian inspired favorites that are always consistently delicious. The service is spot on. The prices are fair for today's market. Let's face it- nothing is inexpensive, but when the food is great, and you're enjoying the experience, you don't mind paying the bill. Keep it up Adela and crew. You do a great job! We've never been disappointed. read more

A very small hole in the wall- casual....but the food is amazing. Mom and pop Italian restaurant. Drink specials on occasion. Probably among the very few that serve arancini. The food is hot off the stove and it's soooo good. Service is quick and rarely does the restaurant get super crowded read more

Not bad ... this Italian served up perfectly fried calamari although it sat in a bit of oil. It is served with spicy marina but she gave us some regular sauce too as it was too spicy for me. We shared a chicken parmigiana. The precooked cutlet wasn't heated throughly, and the mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce was very sparse and didn't cover the piece of chicken, the edges were just plain cutlet. Pasta was overcooked to me. Service was friendly, and she gave us some recommendations for places to see. read more

How did we never try this place before? If you get one thing from here, get the gnocchi. Its delicious! Our family enjoyed their pasta dishes with flavorful sauces and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The service is friendly when I came to pick up my order, and the place was cute, buzzing full of energy. I would like to try to dine-in here at some point. Prices were very reasonable, and the order was ready with time to spare. read more

Outstanding food and service! The lobster ravioli was the best I've ever had. And the chicken in the cacciatore was tender enough to cut with a fork! The tiramisu was a delicious end to a delectable meal. Friendly family restaurant and those are the best!! read more

Cute little neighborhood Italian joint with solid food. We had a late dinner there on a Tuesday night and it was packed! As a result, the one server - who was very pleasant - was overwhelmed and service was slow. With that our food was quite tasty. Pasta and sauces were worth the wait. I'd recommend this spot if you have time to spare. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great. Our waiter was attentive and made sure our drinks were refilled. For a Valentine's night the restaurant was full but not overly crowded and the place still had a nice ambiance with classic music playing in the background. It made for an elegant and romantic evening for my wife and I. We will definitely be back as this place never disappoints us. read more

Food was delicious and of high quality. Service was a great and comfortable ambience was pleasant

We were definitely disappointed in a few things. First, the bread was stale, I'm a bread baker so I know. Secondly One of the pasta dishes was dry and tasteless. Chicken Parmigiana was very good as was the lemon chicken. The service was very good, everyone was very nice. The place itself was small but clean. For us it definitely didn't match up to the reviews. read more

Not good bad food! Pasta had weird film. I got the baked ziti and it didn't even have the right noodles. Very expensive for very low quality food! read more

We are in town for meeting and visit family and wanted to grab a bite near where we are staying so Yelped it and found this place and OMG Amazing little place. Staff very friendly and service was fabulous and the restaurant is small but mighty in ambiance. Honestly better than a bigger restaurant because the staff is much more attentive. I had the special which was a salmon and vegetables with pasta and the sauce was delicious and the veggies were so good, I could have ate a huge plate of them and the salmon cooked perfectly. My husband said his dish was yummy and perfectly spicy. We shared their chicken meatball soup and like everything else it was delicious. If we lived here it would be our favorite place to go. Next time when we are in town we will most definitely go back. read more

This is an excellent Italian Restaurant. My first course was the Insalata di Spinaci (Spinach Salad). The salad was delicious and perfectly dressed. The complimentary bread that came with the meal was outstanding. For the main course, I ordered Fettuccine Della Casa and Penne all' Arrabbiata, both dishes were incredible. The service at the restaurant is top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you enjoy Italian Food. read more

This is a small family owned place. Not a fancy restaurant. Paper napkins. My wife is Italian and a very good cook so we seldom eat out Italian. Adela's food was the highest quality we have had in a very long time. Prices are reasonable and the service is perfect because family members wait on tables. James was a gracious host and encouraged us to take our time. The place is small and well known so call for reservations. I highly recommend. read more

A wonderful and cozy hidden gem in the neighborhood. The service was friendly and warm. Food was well made and prepared fresh. We ordered the fried calamari and caprese to start. We tried 5 different dishes for dinner: fettuccine Alfredo, beef lasagna, pappardelle carbonara, linguine alle vongole, and a chef special that had lamb shank with pasta. Every dish was delicious. We wrapped up our meal with Spumoni and a tiramisu. Well worth a visit and will be back to try more. read more

Ordered delivery through their website, which turned out to be DoorDash, only slower. Overall the food was ok. The Fettucine Della Casa with Chicken was the best of the order. It was very creamy, not separated like many cream sauces that are delivered can be. The chicken was moist and grilled, but I wish it had more flavor with pepper or blacked etc. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Overall this dish was a 7.5/10. The Beef Lasagna was quite flat, maybe it had a rough ride. The filling taste good but the marinara lacks flavor and takes away from the dish. The cheese is pre shredded so it's not melted and still resembles shredded cheese.This gives it an odd texture. 6.5/10 The Pollo Parmigiana was not very good. The breading on the chicken was soft, not crunchy and lacked seasoning. The cheese was also pre shredded and did not melt. The spaghetti was naked with some marinara dumped on top when plating. All good pasta should have the sauce finished with the noodles in the pan. The marinara also fell flat like in the previous dish. 5/10 The Caesar Salad was the saddest salad I've ever seen. Some iceberg lettuce with a few croutons and barely any dressing. Needed way more dressing and some Parmesan or something to liven it up. 3/10. The bread was warm and came free, one piece for each meal which was a bonus. 8/10 read more
