Adriatic Cafe - Grilled salmon - Italian Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

I was disappointed! Kraft powdered parmesan cheese at the table. I order scampi shrimp and all I got was 6 SMALL shrimp in an ocean of broth/soup of spaghetti. I did not like the flavors, it tasted like dry basil and artificial lemon. Shrimp was not grilled, it might have been cooked in boiling water. My son ordered the shrimp alfredo, I tried it and it wasn't great either, my husband ordered another pasta, he seemed to have liked it. My youngest ordered a sub and he couldn't eat it, it had italian vinaigrette. I had higher expectations of an italian food restaurant. We asked for freshly grated parmesan but they don't carry that. Almost all of their dishes are carb loads, I was expecting more fish. Sadly, we won't be coming back as we all felt awful after eating like that. I ordered a caesar salad as a side and it had an awful lot of croutons, it was too much. read more

Went on a recommendation from a coworker and was not disappointed. For Italian it's got a nice decor without the snobbish pretense. Complimentary bread was soft and warm. Between 3-6 most of the appetizers (except wings and one other) are half off. So we just couldn't say no to some fried calamari. It was pretty good. Comes with Mariana sauce for dipping. Next we got the Veal Parmesan which comes with spaghetti on the side. Upgraded $2 for Alfredo (why I don't know). Parmesan is from a shaker on the table like pizza parlors but that was fine by me. Definitely head in on a Monday if you have kids (12 and under) as they eat free (kid entree) all day long with purchase of an adult entree. There was no menu but the kid entrees include spaghetti, fettuccine Alfredo, small cheese pizza, cheese ravioli, tortellini alla panna, lasagna, ans manicotti. You can even get the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken for no extra charge ($1 up charge otherwise). read more

We made a reservation for a party of 8 on a Monday night. Our table was ready when we arrived. I ordered a Limoncello martini which is close to a Lemon Drop without the sugar rim and it was good. For dinner I had the Lobster Ravioli. The description reads "white wine cream sauce with a touch of marinara." As you can see from the photo there is more than a touch of marinara which was disappointing as I don't like a strong tomato flavor in my pasta dishes. The lobster wasn't especially flavorful but the actual ravioli noodle was nice. Our service was good and the bathrooms/restaurant as a whole was clean. read more

First time trying this place.......looking for just plain ole "great" basic Italian food. It's plain ole basic, for sure,......but far from "great" or even good, if you know Italian food. Reminiscent of Henry Hill from GOODFELLAS, when at the end he says, now I'm just a schnook, can't even get decent food......after his witness protection relocation to somewhere...... Service was friendly and adequate. Prices are very cheap and portions are big. Spaghetti was waaaay overcooked and not Al dente, plus it was cut up, which makes it not fork and spoon adaptable. The sauce was watery and lacked flavor. The meatball was mushy and more filler than meat. The McDonalds of Italian food. read more

Visited a few time already, with kids and with no kids. They're pretty consistent on flavoring of food and pretty good price for what you get. I have received good service before and my catering through them has been spot on. Favorite dishes include the spaghetti, chicken alfredo and the meatballs. Their garlic bread is pretty good too. Drinks are okay. They should be a little stronger. I prefer to order catering or to-go from here but my husband prefers to pick up since it's so conveniently close to our home. read more

Brought a large party of 16 for lunch. They were very accommodating with individual checks. As we were seated they brought huge baskets of delicious garlic knots. (Light on the garlic, but good) Orders were taken quickly and they even let a couple of ladies order from the kids menu. Portions were huge. Food was good. Nothing grand, but solid for the low lunch prices. I chose the 10" pizza and comes with side salad. Good, but wished the crust was crunchy. It was a great deal and most took food to go. One lady had ordered a salad for lunch and somehow they forgot it. By the time we were all half way done she just told them to cancel it. That was the only hiccup. Service was great. Drinks refilled promptly. Try them out. read more

We had lunch here on Thursday. My work fe had their Margarita Pizza while I had their Spaghetti-The Works. The spaghetti was a lunch portion, but it was plenty and very reasonably priced. The complimentary hot bread and butter are alone worth the trip! read more

Wednesday, 3/5/25 Date night had the Wife and I sitting at the Adriatic Café in Shenandoah, TX. We were in the mood to try something new and decided that tonight we would sup on Eastern Italian food. When we entered, there were several ladies carrying out their leftovers for another meal at their houses. This seemed to be a good sign to me. The Matron seated us and the waitstaff was inviting and friendly, they were also quick to get our drink order and bring out that basket of garlic bread knots. About the knots ... It was pretty obvious the rolls were freshly baked, warm and light. It also took the butter quite nicely as I dug into the roll. But as I chewed, I realized there was not very much garlic on the garlic knots. Now, I'm not sure if it was dusted after baking, but it really could have used a heavier, harder hit of garlic to let me know it was supposed to be there, not what seemed to be hinting at. Our appetizer was fried zucchini with marinara. The fried veg was something I could have made in my air fryer at home, but that is what I expect these days at most restaurants that serve any fried veg or fried fungi. The marinara was a nice chunky tomato ragu that needed more, and I really mean more, seasoning to break through the sweetness of the tomato. I will say though, when paired with the parmesan sprinkled fried zucchini, it was tasty. Still, I was wanting more seasoning in the sauce. After a few minutes our entrees arrived. If portion size matters, then the size of the serving was more than adequate to sate a hearty appetite. My wife ordered the Beef Lasagna and I ordered the Chicken Sicilian. I only had a bite of the lasagna, at her request. Like the marinara, it also needed seasoning to round it out to what I feel are Italian seasoning standards. I was also surprised that the noodle was a bit overdone. The dish, to her was Meh at best. She didn't even finish her meal she was so disappointed in the way it was put together. I did, however, eat quite a bit of my entrée. The chicken was the disappointment in this entree. It was overcooked and a bit hard to cut as well as chew. The sauce, however, was lemony, tangy and acidic from the capers and pickled artichoke hearts. There was a bit of mushroom to add to the textures the sauce presented, but it was not very present on my fork. Ironically, the sauce would have stood alone nicely if the chicken pucks were left off of the plate. The spaghetti was a touch overcooked for my taste, but it held up to the sauce and had a little bit of chew. Since this is my first time I have visited this place, I will hold judgement on anything else that I have yet to try, but what I did try was an "ok" at best. Since they listed calzones, pizza and other standard Italian meals on their board of fare, I might have to return to try something on that side of the menu. Prices were a touch lower than I anticipated, so that is a positive. Fried Zucchini - $8 Beef Lasagna - $14 (very reasonable for the size of the portion) Chicken Sicilian - $16 (also reasonable, but the protein disappointed) Overall, we came out of the place and took nothing home, not even the rolls. I will be back, but probably for the lunch service. Ciao, Darrell C. read more

My husband and I love going here. We spent a month in Italy a couple of years ago and this reminds us of our trip. We especially love the ambiance. Nice enough for a special date night but not stuffy. Quiet enough to have a conversation and the wait staff has always been great! read more

Adriatic Cafe - Tortellini Alla Panna & Lobster Ravioli - Italian Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

The lobster ravioli was terrible! It was so fishy smelling I could not eat it. The fried zucchini was not throughly cooked. The "crust" was overcooked. I could tell they were just frozen and not freshly made. The bread was great, hot and soft! Service was good. It's not authentic! The food looked and tasted like it was prepared and frozen and just heated up. Sorry, but not good. read more

Everything was delicious! Nice atmosphere and attentive server! Would recommend! I had the chicken Marsala and it was very tasty!

The food is delicious and very well priced. The rolls are beyond delicious. Everything from the bar area to the dining area is immaculate!! The staff are wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. If you haven't been here, you are definitely missing out on a go to restaurant read more

Came here today and had a great experience for lunch. Nathan was an awesome server and took care of all of our needs. I also didn't realize that they have a really nice outdoor patio. I will definitely be back. Can't be beat for the quality of food, service, even down to the real silverware and plates for the hot food. Can't forget the great garlic knots of fresh bread too. read more

Love this place, been there four times on 3weeks. Atmosphere is calm, you can actually talk to your fellow diners! Wait staff is attentive and well trained, food quality is excellent! read more

Overall a super great place to try! We went on a Friday evening around 8:30 and got seated immediately. They immediately brought out some warm, soft and delicious bread. It was so good dipped in butter. I got the Alex special and substitute mushrooms for broccoli. It was pretty good, there was some flavors I wasn't a huge fan of. My dad tasted my food and really enjoyed it. My dad ordered the chicken saltimbocca and gave it a 10/10. Both of these dishes + 2 margaritas came to a total of $50.88. We both only ate half of our food so we have leftovers for tomorrow. Service was pretty good, there was nothing extraordinary about it. Would definitely go back and try something new. read more

Good food... delivery or dine it, it never disappoints. We have tried most of the menu.

We've been eyeballing this place for a while and glad we finally tried it. They greet you with garlic bread. We had fried calamari as an appetizer and it was better than it looked. I had the shrimp scampi which needed a little salt but I rather it be that way then salty. Chicken Pomodoro was ok. Overall it was good and hit the spot. Service was good but the restaurant was a little too warm for us. read more

Not sure why this place only has 3.9 stars but it was pretty tasty. I was in the area so I grabbed some shrimp scampi and it was delish.

This is a hidden gem and I'm glad we found it! Recently opened in the Woodlands, this Italain restaurant has the most delicious food at an amazing price point! The food tastes like restaurants that charge twice as much! The garlic knots, lasagna, chicken Alfredo, and the Alex special were all amazing! The service is top notch too - we received amazing seevice and the manager, Burim, was helpful when we encountered and issue. The ambiance is relaxed and semi-formal - perfect for a family dinner or a date night. I can't wait to go back to this restaurant again! read more

First time and won't be our last. Thursday night, Date night!! We will definitely be back. We always choose to sit at the bar ( don't judge ) and we were greeted by our very sweet bartender Pauline! She was fantastic. I ordered an Italian Margarita... gotta a kick to it ! My husband ordered the Cab which was really good for a happy hour wine. We ordered Pasta pomodora and Adriatic Special. We loved both dishes. The garlic knots are so fluffy and delicious We also ordered a XL pizza to go. Excellent service Excellent Food One thing ... one thing only that I suggested to the staff.... Dim the lights. It's way too bright for a romantic date night but we will be back !! read more

We were there with a party of 10 our waitress was nice. She asked if everything was ok. I told her the chicken picatta was very watery with no flavor. She said let me see what I can do about it. She never returned. I noticed she left the bill at the other end of the table with no discount for the terrible chicken dish. I asked to have her come to talk to me. I asked what she was going about the watery chicken dish. She said I told my manager . He said they weren't going to do anything about it. The manager never even came to our table. It was our first time there. I wanted to like it but one bad experience was enough for me! I thought the mgr would at least offer to bring me something else. Let's face it there can always be an occasional issue with someone's entree. I think the mgr needs a little more customer service training! For what it's worth it's a nice restaurant inside. I'm only giving them 2 stars because some in our group got dishes they liked. The experience I had doesn't make me want to go back again. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I gave it two stars mainly for the waiter and the atmosphere, but I've been there three times and haven't seen any improvement. If you're just looking for a slice of pizza, it might be okay, but don't expect a good Italian dinner. The calamari seemed to be frozen and not fresh, and they don't use real grated cheese in their pasta, just pre-packaged stuff. The red sauce is way too sweet, the pasta was overcooked, and the veal was really tough. Overall, the flavors were pretty bland. read more

Our server Lilli was friendly and attentive. The bread was so moist and fresh. My wife had Chicken Alfredo and I had Chicken Parmigiana. We finished with Tiramisu. The booth was great for privacy, and the background music was calming. Perfect place to celebrate my wife's birthday. read more

This place is the worst! The service is crappy when it comes to ordering online. They don't refund you if your car breaks down and can't make it to pick up the food, they charge extra for serving utensils when ordering catering for a large group. They didn't include the bread and also wanted to charge extra. The Tomball location is much better. Even though we are in The Woodlands, we will be ordering from Tomball from on. read more

Great food, service & ambiance. Overall the portion size was lacking. The coffee was cold.

So much food for such a great price. Got full just off the garlic bread and Caesar salad (both so amazing, garlic bread was so pillowy and soft). Pasta was pretty good too and very great service. read more

Absolutely a pleasant surprise. Beautiful, clean, delicious fresh food, excellent service. Its a win win ... thank you for having such a great place. read more

We, had eaten at the Tomball location a few times and loved it so we were excited when learning about this Conroe/Woodlands location being built. Took us several months but we finally ate there this afternoon. It did not disappoint! Food was fantastic! The rolls were to die for. Staff excellent by host, waiter and manager. Turns out that I recognized the waiter Illsi from the Tomball location and he remembered us too! We're already telling our friends about it! read more

First and last visit. I sent back their lasagna, as it was covered with a rhick layer of cheese, very little meat and thin. The worst ive eaten. They replaced it with Ravioli, that I had to get to go. AGAIN, it was also covered with a thick layer of cheese. I've eaten Ravioli at many restaurants and never had it covered up with cheese. Once I peeled away the cheese, the Ravioli was okay, but nothing great. Will not go back. My server was excellent. read more

Wow... the food was great! Came out freshly cooked, and the best way to describe it, food all tasted homemade. We ate spaghetti, chicken alfredo, and alex's special. read more
