We were celebrating a friend's birthday here and put in a reservation days in advance. We spoke to the GM and he gave us the go ahead to be seated right as we walk in but one of employees was being very rude. She said we couldn't be seated until everyone was here (9/14 were present) and gave attitude when we mentioned the GM said it was okay. Our server was nice and very accommodating for a large group. The bread is awesome and you have to try the Pina Colada. I got the Tortellini Alfredo with shrimp which was okay. read more

I ordered a to-go cheese pizza with extra sauce. When I arrived home, I realized I had a cheese pizza with so much extra cheese and barely any sauce. I removed cheese and still had plenty. Very disappointing. This was my second attempt with this order. I guess extra sauce is against the rules here. The food is good here over all. Dining in is probably best. read more

We were thrilled to find out they were open during this Texas freeze since a lot of spots were closed. Wasn't busy and it was such a calm, relaxing vibe. They have a bar if you prefer to eat quick and grab a drink. Host and our waitress were very friendly. The complimentary garlic bread is probably the best we've had. Definitely beats Olive Garden's bread sticks! The side Caesar salad was huge but something was missing. I just can't pinpoint it but it was decent. Spinach ravioli was hot and hardy. The marinara sauce is a bit sweet for my liking but the handy salt and pepper grinders helped balance it out for me. Overall, a great spot. Menu appears to have been updated since I've last been and pricing seems to be very reasonable with lots of choices. read more

I have a $50 gift card so we decided to use it. Lunchtime is a great deal! My $13 Alex Special was big enough for two meals as was my wife's $11 fettuccine Alfredo. The lunch entree comes with a salad and bread basket with big ol' garlic twists. Entrees, two glasses of reisling, and tax was 41.14 and we each had leftovers for another meal. Our waiter (Verton? Vetron?) was great read more

Came to have dinner with friends so I didn't take a lot of pictures. Restaurant parking was slightly difficult but it was a Sunday evening so I would expect this to be normal. This was my first time at this restaurant so I'm not sure what it's like typically. I know it's located near Main Event and the movie theater so I imagine a lot of families and couples come here for lunch & dinner. The restaurant is nicely laid out, kinda dark for me but I guess it's for ambiance. There's booth and table seating available, we sat in a booth it was kinda tight but the table top was huge so it gave plenty of room to be able to share food if wanted. Ordered Calamari and Mozzarella sticks for apps, they give you Garlic Bread (DELICIOUS!!) I should have waited for the apps to come because I asked for marinara for the bread and was charged $3 for it The menu itself for entrees is huge lots of the same pasta types with different proteins just depends on your preference. I got the Chicken Pomodoro I really enjoyed it plenty left over for me to have for lunch the next day. My husband had the Sausage Pizzauola which he said was different he did omit the mushrooms so you can request that of your not a fan of them. Just had soft drinks (Coca~Cola) and my husband had a Raspberry Tea he said was good. They do have a wine, beer and drinks menu but I didn't check it out. Nice place, staff were polite and I think we might be back with family next time. Do not expect this place to be like the Olive Garden, it is not! read more

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill - Garlic Bread - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

My server Lauren has been my favorite so far out of the I've gone here and the food is always amazing.

Ashley Vaquera was the best! She was kind, observant, and thoughtful. Not pushy. So pleasant. The food is still *fantastic* and of course the garlic bread was served warm and toasty. So delicious. Their tomato caprese was a great appetizer, and the chicken parmigiana with fettuccini Alfredo was delicious! I didn't want spaghetti which is the side with the chicken parm. I asked for the fettuccini instead. Delicious. Hot. Filling. Love this restaurant! read more

Went here with a friend for lunch. They have a great lunch menu you can choose from. We ordered the cheese ravioli, fettuccine Alfredo, and a chicken Caesar salad. I asked for some spice to be added to the Alfredo and they sautéed some red peppers in it and it was amazing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill - Garlic Bread - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Sadly, the best item was the bread included with our order, and the mozzarella sticks. The Veal was thick (though tender), but the marsala sauce lacked the depth of flavor I expected and tasted like it was thickened with corn starch. My husbands veal parmesan was similar - lacked flavor. read more

Good food, great prices, and bread to die for. This place checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!

Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, low lights, felt comfortable to talk at a good volume. The server did put in our order wrong but i think it was because our table was a bit indecisive. Asked for a large 2 topping italian crust and got a medium 2 topping with thin crust. pizza toppings tasted wonderful, fresh. Also ordered the mozzarella sticks which werent anything different than a frozen box, wouldn't order again. baked ziti was yummy. lots of cheese which i loved. wish i had taken a picture of the bread, i wasn't a fan i wish i had oil and italian seasoning to dip it into, as i felt the bread lacked flavor. Definitely gonna try other menu items if i go again! read more

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill - Baked Ziti, thin crust 12" Pizza with 2 Toppings - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Well I am saddened to have to do this but it needs to be said. Adriatic Cafe had been our family's #1 spot to eat in Spring for years. Everything was always perfect, the atmosphere, the service, the food were always top notch. But over the past year each visit has been worse than the last. The service is now hit or miss, the overall ambiance has changed (turning tables seems to now be their goal instead of allowing you adequate time to enjoy a meal with wine and conversation) and the food has gone from always wonderful to often underwhelming. I couldn't be more disappointed because we always looked forward to our meals at Adriatic in Spring but now we don't really choose Adriatic anymore because it's run-of-the-mill. Not terrible, but no longer great. I don't know what happened but I sure wish we could return to the Adriatic we once knew and loved. read more

So yummy! Unfortunately I do not have any photos but their pasta is delicious! Also their bread with the OIL. You have to get the oil. It is an up charge but it is absolutely delicious. My parents really enjoy their pizza as well. Our server was super nice and attentive as well. We sat in the bar area which was nice although the booth was just a little small for us. I like how the dining room reminds me of a little taste of Italy. It has a great Italian atmosphere. We shall definitely be back! read more

I definitely see why the locals love this place. In my opinion it's about a step above Olive Garden with fresher ingredients, but the food tastes about the same. It's not bad by any means, it's quite good. Very similar vibe as far as ambience to Olive Garden. Our server seemd a little confused. Maybe he was new. He forgot to put in our calamari order and then ended up bringing two orders of calamari to the table which he let us take no charge, which was awesome. I would definitely go back if in the area again. read more

Cook every night. Hubby and I decided to try this place for an early dinner. Friday night .... Place was busy. I think because of happy hour from 3-7 pm. Seated quickly. Waitress was attentive. She didn't interrupt conversations but knew innately when to appear to refill drinks. Hot bread appeared with drinks. Bread was good and was served hot. Iced teas served in huge glasses negating the call for frequent refills. I asked for lemon with my tea and that request was filled. Calamari for appetizer. Seasoned well. Enjoyed. Had lobster ravioli for entree. It was absolutely DROWNED in sauce. I tried to push 1/2 of the sauce to the side but it was liquidy and just ran free. Assuming because you only get 4 ravioli they needed to fill the plate with something. And they did. It was ok. As my daughter would say "meh". Not a dish that I would ever crave to return to have again. Left a hefty tip of 40% based upon server. She was beyond great. read more

Although the food here is great - the staff is not and they kill the restaurant whole heartedly- from loud cussing at lunchtime rush at front door to not correctly taking/writing down orders, to the attitude from hell better to go anywhere else then here. read more

As much as I don't want to like chain Italian restaurants, Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill always manages to win me over--it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the warm atmosphere sets the tone, with cozy lighting and plenty of seating. Parking is easy and plentiful, making it a hassle-free experience from the start. We started with their signature garlic bread while waiting for our meals, and as always, it was absolutely addicting--soft, warm, and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered two red sangrias, which were refreshing and well-balanced, making them the perfect complement to the food. My wife had the pasta sampler, which is a fantastic way to try a little bit of everything. It came with three classic Italian dishes: creamy fettuccine Alfredo, hearty lasagna layered with cheese and meat sauce, and baked manicotti stuffed with rich ricotta. Each was delicious and generously portioned. I opted for the steak arrabiata, and it was outstanding. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It was topped with a spicy arrabiata sauce that packed just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the dish. Paired with a side of pasta, it was a hearty and satisfying meal. The service was excellent--our server was attentive without being overbearing and made sure our drinks were always topped off. The entire staff seemed genuinely welcoming, which added to the overall experience. Adriatic Cafe proves that even chain restaurants can deliver amazing food and a great dining experience. I'll happily keep coming back for their consistently delicious dishes and outstanding service. read more

Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill - Yum.. - Italian Near Me - Tomball, Texas

I love the Adriatic café. I discovered the original in Jersey Village several years ago. I've taken clients there. I've taken my wife there. They have really good Italian food. The lasagna and pasta dishes are amazing but my favorite is the pizza.!! They have garlic knots served at the table prior to ordering dinner and they have butter on the table as well and those are so good They have since opened up one in Tomball there's one in spring and the latest one is in the woodlands The Woodlands location is very nice but I think they have to season their kitchen, to help make it consistent with the other three locations that I've been to. Highly recommended Wine and drink list, just good food!! read more

The food at Adriatic Cafe Italian Restaurant is very tasty. I really enjoyed the chicken marsala dinner. The garlic knots are delicious as well. The service was great our server was very attentive. The restaurant is a little cold for a wet rainy day, but this is Texas so that's kind of expected. The bar is nice and the booths are cozy. The prices are fair and there is plenty of parking.

We have been here several times. The food is ok. The service is hit or miss. Today, get there when they opened since it a quiet day date with the husband. We sat near the fake fire place, which was nice, but then the hostess proceded to stack all the tables around us. A party of 8 for a bday 3 inches from our table. The whole place was empty. Everyone that came in, they sat around us. Like they were filling seats in a concert. It was so bad I couldn't hear my husband. I understand when they're busy, there's no choice, but it's ridiculous to save the waiter or waitress three steps. For sub par, service, not worth another trip. read more

We stopped at the Adriatic Cafe Italian Grill on our way back to Austin from Houston. The ambiance was great and quaint. We were ecstatic when the bread basket was delivered. This bread was AMAZING. It was so soft and fresh and came with a bowl of butter on the table. We also ordered an XL cheese pizza and were delighted with the taste. The menu was reasonably priced and the portions were large. We definitely will be back. read more

Placed an order at NOON for 5 pm pickup. Arrived 20 minutes early and waited for 40 minutes for the order. But it was worth it! Shrimp scampi, fried mozzarella, garlic bread and the pasta sampler. read more

The food was decent and reasonably priced. The restaurant is extremely busy, but the large seating area helps accommodate the crowd. Noise can be a bit of a problem. The staff efficiently manage table turnover by keeping butter packets and condiments (cheese, red pepper) readily available on the tables and serving extra-large glasses of soda and water. The glasses are almost certainly a way of minimizing the need for refills. This place is good for mid-week fast Italian dinners for the family, especially if you are budget conscious. Overall, the pricing was quite affordable--our meal, including two entrées and sodas, came to $48 after tip. read more

Adriatic Cafe is a large Italian restaurant in the Houston metro area near Tomball. It is a free standing restaurant with a large patio and a dedicated parking lot. They are able to accommodate large parties, and the service is friendly and attentive. They have a full bar and a decent wine list. The server was also kind enough to recommend that 4 glasses was more than the price of the bottle, so we might as well go for for the bottle. The food was delicious, and there are gluten free options. The garlic rolls are worth it, as long as you can handle the gluten, and definitely get the dipping oil. I had a bite of the rolls, but need to avoid the bread. The GF crust with the chicken pesto pizza toppings was delish. A solid 4.5 star option in the Tomball area. read more

Absolutely Delicious and Always Consistent! Adriatic Cafe is one of those rare places that feels like home the moment you walk in. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the food ~ oh my goodness ~ is consistently amazing! You can truly taste the freshness in every dish. Their sauces are rich and flavorful, the bread is baked fresh daily (and it's heavenly), and every pasta dish tastes homemade. Their pizzas are also incredible ~ perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and airy inside, with generous toppings and that unmistakable from-scratch flavor. You can tell the dough and sauce are made in-house, and it makes all the difference. It's hard to find a family-owned restaurant that still puts this much care into every detail. You can tell everything is made from scratch with love and pride. Whether you're dining in or ordering to-go, the quality is always top-notch. If you love Italian comfort food done right, Adriatic Cafe never disappoints. It's become one of our favorite go-to spots, and every visit reminds us why. read more
