BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN HOUSTON!!!! Wow. Just wow. Celebrated my dad's bday here and had such an amazing experience! I wish I could remember the name of our server cause she was one of the BEST I've met... so attentive and sweet and always made sure we had everything we needed. Customer service is awesome! Now onto the food-- I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I am a huge fan of Italian food and after trying many Italian restaurants anywhere from authentic to Americanized (cough, cough: Olive Garden) and this one is definitely up there with the authentic! The prices are also so affordable!!! Especially after just coming back from my NY trip and eating real, authentic Italian this place definitely compares!!! I can't even stress enough how delicious and flavorful the Penne Alla Vodka was-- one of my fave dishes I tend to order everywhere and they made it perfect. So glad I came across this restaurant on Yelp and am so happy to have a go-to authentic Italian restaurant to go to now!!! Give em a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill - Spring - Penne Alla Vodka - Italian Near Me - Spring, Texas

I heard about this place when I was at the local hardware store. They said it was a great place to eat. I dont live near by so I was waiting for a chance to make it by. Well that was today. I went with my 17yo boy after a basketball tournament. This boy can put down some food. He actually had left over alfredo. It was really creamy and had a nice flavor to it. The shrimp was cooked just right. It was very satisfying for him. Hit the spot. I had the medley or sampler. It was a great taste of everything. The manicotti was nice and creamy. Lasagna had some actual meat in it...the ravioli was big and yummy. I liked it alot. The meal came with bread knots that were big and plentiful. They have a take out menu as well. Happy hour from 3 to 5. They had a good fun drink selection from bellinis to sangria and much more. I will be going back for that Italian margarita. Kids eat free on Monday. read more

The meat ravioli was great! The carbonara was ok - they used bacon instead of pancetta but was rich in mushrooms which I love. The chicken in the chicken carbonara was not seasoned though. My kids loved the spaghetti and meat sauce but the meatball has too much black pepper in it for their taste. The kids really enjoyed the house bread. I was bummed they didnt have fresh shredded parmesan to help season the pasta but the mozarella on the ravioli was delicious. I will return to try the lasagna and calamari. read more

Always wonderful service, excellent food and reasonable prices. I made the mistake of eating at Olive Garden bec I was in the Grand Parkway area and what a huge mistake. Food, Service, Management were awful. Made me realize how great Adriatic really is! I will not cheat on Adriatic Cafe ever again! It is great every time! Thank you for being way above the rest in food, price, atmosphere and customer service! read more

Love the chicken and Alfredo tortellini with the garlic knots! Service depends on how crowded they are but it's a hot spot for this side of town read more

Love their pizza it's so fresh. Staff is nice and welcoming this location is in Spring Texas right off of 45

I wanted to be nice and give this place 2 stars, but that would be dishonest. The bread was buttery and lackluster. The marinara we ordered which came with the (microwave-ready) mozzarella sticks tasted like tomato-water. Cancelled the pizza I ordered when I was half-way through the cheese sticks - this place didn't deserve the chance nor does it deserve your money. read more

Food is good, but management refuses seniors from ordering off children's menu or lunch portion for a disabled senior on medication can eat a full entree. She could take home the leftovers but would be a waste and end up in trash. Food is not the same heated up all together. Very rude when asked if she could order smaller portion - just NO! Haven a customer many years. Didn't argue just ordered her a full meal- poor thing was embarrassed. read more

The food here was BLAND!! I ordered the chicken carbonara. The only thing on the dish to have any flavor was the chicken. If i ate just a pasta bite, it lacked any flavor. The bacon pieces were rubbery...like they needed cooked longer. I ordered a side if cheesy bread as well. The sauce for it was fine. But the bread with seasame seeds gave the dish a weird texture. read more

I just had the best spaghetti I've ever had. The service was good and friendly and the place was quiet and clean.

Casual family friendly place. Have enjoyed several dishes. Family favorite's are the Salmon, lasagna, and the lemon cake!

Full disclosure, Italian food is my least favorite type of food. I have been here a few times. The food is good and the Italian margaritas are top notch. The service is sub par but if you are not in rush, then I recommend the Italian margs. read more

Good food. Good atmosphere. Good prices. Great service. We've dined in for pasta -! delicious. We've ordered out pizzas & pasta several times since Covid mess started. I've never been disappointed. It's our go-to neighborhood pasta spot. I would recommend you give it a try. read more

Easily a good 5-stars. Makes Olive Garden look mid asf with their Chicken Alfredo. Great service and a surprisingly short wait time. The generic elevator music was also a nice touch, felt like I was in a Roblox restaurant game. That's a compliment. (Can't provide a picture cause I ate that food up) read more

Food is amazing love the bread ambiance is on point nice and cozy. A favorite for Valentine's Day.

Love the food quality and prices. Excellent and friendly service as well. It's nice to have this hidden gem in Spring.

Amazing food, place, and the vibes are always on point! Thanks for the amazing service and dining experience!

Although the food and dine in service are great, the pickup/catering option leaves much to be desired. I placed an online order for catering seven days in advance. My order was scheduled to be picked up the following Saturday at 5:00pm. Upon arriving, I was told that my order would be 15-20 minutes late. After waiting in the shoe boxed sized pick up area, six to seven other customers were growing impatient as their orders were not ready on time. The hostess, who was clearly overwhelmed with phone calls had a hard time communicating to the waiting customers why their orders were not on time. After waiting a full hour, I finally received my food at 6:00pm. A word to the management, if you are unable to fulfill orders that are placed in advance, please consider the following, hire more staff or reevaluate your deliverable expectations to your online customers. Very disappointing. read more

Disappointing!! Very very disappointed in the staff/management for serving us cold food on dirty plates. Even our drinks were in dirty glasses! Manager refused to serve my family new food Waiter refused to give us clean dining ware & utensils upon seeing all the filth Took forever to be seated. (MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT ARRIVED AFTER MY FAMILY DID WERE SEATED FIST) & no they did not have a reservation bc I ASKED! Be careful coming here if you don't meet their demographic for the "ideal potential customer" .. everyone is prejudice! NEVER AGAIN read more

Very good Italian in Spring. Very good pizza (they have thin crust if you ask for it) They also offer complimentary home made bread to every table, and it is REALLY good. You can order more sauce if you want extra, on pizza or pasta dishes. They have frequent diner programs, if you server doesn't mention it, ask about it. If you go to THIS location, ask for Angie. She is Wonderful. read more

Best thing served tonight was the complementary garlic bread. Eggplant parmesan was cut paper thin so you barely got any with all the breading that covered it. The Veal Siciliano was rubbery and was not properly tenderize or pounded out. Meal did not come out together with my dish coming out 10-15 minutes after everyone else's. read more

The best!! My husband and I come all the time. Best food and drinks. We bring friends all the time. Family from out of town we always bring here!! read more

I have attended two separate celebration at this little hidden gem located right off of 45North in Spring Texas. The food is really good and the bread is outstanding. I would totally recommend this restaurant. Service is a little under par but it due to employee shortage so the service might be a little slow but the waitstaff is courteous and they do their best read more

My family has been coming here since the restaurant opened, but in the last year, The service is gone down hill so bad, that we are seriously thinking about not coming anymore. The last time I made a take-out order, they forgot my chicken on my basked ziti (twice) and this time there was not a bit of sauce on my ziti. I called back and talk to the manager (this was 11/11/22) at 6:50pm, he said that's the way they make it and didn't even say sorry, but did say next time order more sauce, really, there was no sauce on it in the first place. i'm so disappointed because this is our favorite place to go, and I always take our guests there. I'll be looking for a new place. read more

The ambiance is good as well as the food but best of all kudos to Reynaldo who made my day.Good Job! He's willing to help and do extra mile.Toilet had problem and when I informed him he checked it right away as compared to the earlier guy to just gave a shruged. read more

Amazing place to grab lunch. Everything was great, with the calzone being top class. Even the gluten free options were great and the pizza in particular was delicious. read more

The clam linguine looked really good in the photos so I had to try it. It was pretty good as the pasta was cooked well, the clams were soft and sweet and the wine sauce light. I was really hoping for a more salty and creamy sauce, but this didn't disappoint. Good Clam dishes are hard to find as usually they taste a bit like sand and tough. The garlic knots come out really hot and fragrant. They're still soft after a while, but the heat is gone pretty quickly. I tried the Mussels appetizer with the white wine sauce. It was pretty good. The mussels were soft and tasty for 1/2 price off, but I like the mussels to be larger. The Limoncello mascarpone cake was softer than it looked. It was sweet with a hint of lemon. The cream cheese filling was really fluffy and less dense than I expected. The atmosphere is family casual and a bit bar-like. There are two restrooms. read more

I've been coming to Adriatic Cafe for awhile and I'm here to say that it's been an experience with mixed feelings. The restaurant was nice and had a friendly staff, even though it was as empty as a C-team basketball game. One critique I have is their "specialty" pizza. If you googled the definition of "ok" a picture of a mediocre slice of this mediocre pizza would show up. This pizza was just ok. The flavors were nice, but the cheese looked like it was glued on with an expired glue stick from 1937. It continued to come off of the sad crust. Plus, all the grease on it made it look like it came off a rollercoaster at Splashtown. Even though the restaurant is know for other things, I think they could really step up this classic Italian dish. read more

Went here for lunch. They give an enormous amount of food on lunch menu. I had chicken Parmesan and it was very good with a side salad. Mom had chicken fettuccini and Caesar salad which we had so much left over she took both mine and hers home! There was a basket of good bread on the table too. No masks were worn by the hostess or waitresses so was a little hesitant to eat there. We have not seen that at places we have eaten especially with the variant. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. There was seating outside but at 95 degrees opted to take a risk and eat in. read more

Man, I've never had nasty italian food but the food I got here comes close. I ordered the eggplant parmagiana... the eggplant was incredibly tough, it was like chewing leather. And the chicken alfredo pizza tasted like old milk. I get the impression that the food was frozen for awhile. I actually have store bought frozen eggplant parmagiana that tastes better. The food was edible but I would not eat here again. You're better off ordering at olive garden or bucca di beppo. read more

I have been here several times and they never seem to amaze me food is always delicious and service have been fantastic

First time trying this place for takeout. I was craving Italian and have to say I did not like. The sauce was sweet on everything. The ceasar dressing had a sweet taste which was unusual. The red pasta sauce was sweet. Honestly it looked great but tasted like everything was made with sugar which was disappointing. $100 worth of food and barely touched it. Won't try it again. read more

Ok- so my Sister told me about this joint. I was patiently waiting for them to open, as my friend would always visit the Boot Barn next door....WEEKLY! The ambience in this place is so quiet and cozy! They have a lil' outdoor patio setting, which is absolutely great for this spring weather & breeze! I met Jimmy, who is the owner. He came over to check on us, and asked if everything was ok. I proceeded to ask him about scampi butter. He told me that he had something much better! ......O.M.G. Ashlyn, who was my phenomenal waitress, bought out some of the BEST scampi/olive oil dipping sauce EVA'! Ashlyn is also very knowledgeable, with just about everything on the menu & very tentative to the needs of the customers. Anywho...I ordered the Shrimp Alfredo Tortellini-the Tortellini was stuffed with ricotta cheese! The shrimp were cooked to perfection. The Tortellini was INDEED the best that I've had! Ok, now let's get to the AMAZING garlic knots! They bring out some of the BEST bread ever! (slap ya' Mama good!) So soft. So delicious. So tasty. If and when you stop by.....relax. Enjoy the food! Inhale. Exhale. Smile. read more
