How did we get served warm water on one of the hottest days of the season so far? We had a reservation and waited 20 minutes to get seated. Took forever to bring us a high chair for our baby. It was an awful first experience and will not be returning :/

As you walk in there's a large bar with a decent amount of seating, and to the right a mix of tables. Take on the limited outdoor seating at your own risk during Florida's storm season. I started with the Sunshine State cocktail. The gin cocktail was a little more lime forward than I prefer, but I'm still a fan! To follow it, I tried the Negroni Bianco. It was on the sweeter side and had a lot of floral flavor. The Bruschette Caprese has so much flavor, I couldn't get place if the tomatoes were marinated, but I loved it! For dinner I couldn't resist the house special, mustard spaghettini. It was creamy, and mustard marinated noodles the perfect balance. As you'd expect with the setting and price point, the service was professional and attentive.

You know that full feeling after Thanksgiving dinner. That's how I left feeling, but in a good way…read more The main seating area is small but pretty packed with tables so I'd suggest reservations just in case. Also parking is street parking, but lucked out with someone leaving - phew. We split the Caesar salad, because the portion is well enough for two, and dressing was so good! For my entree I ordered the King Mushroom Pappardelle. It may have been the best pasta dish I've ever had. If you like mushrooms you'll love that dish. The ambiance isn't a very rushed experience, which works out to digest all of those delicious carbs. Overall, a really great Italian spot- definitely will go back to try the truffle ravioli.

This was the first time I was seated in the Turci Panino location, attached to Turci Pasta. You get to enjoy the same menu but the ambiance isn't quite the same. Due to the location, parking can also be tricky. I would definitely return again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant.

Our server Leia was so so sweet and so understanding…read more My friend and I dined in last night after our yoga class, completely forgetting to check the time that the restaurant closes. We strolled in at 8:40pm, completely unaware that they closed in 20 minutes. Leia let us know that and we quickly apologized and asked to take the food to go, but she insisted it wasn't an issue as long as we ordered quickly. We both ordered immediately after, and the food came out very quickly after that! I chose the pollo al limone which was served over a bed of spinach. It was very citrusy and light and the perfect portion size. My friend ordered the ravioli, and she was satisfied with it! There were still some tables finishing up once we received our plates, and luckily we weren't the last ones in there as there were a few folks still sitting at the bar. We felt so bad for coming in right before closing, but Leia was fabulous and made our experience very lovely!

I book Valentine's Day reservations months in advance every year because it is nearly impossible to…read moresecure plans closer to the date. This year I chose Adriático. Only days before Valentine's Day, we were informed that the restaurant would be offering a prix-fixe menu of only four entree options and that the regular dinner menu would not be available at all. That was not communicated at the time of booking. The published prix-fixe menu did not include a vegetarian entrée option and did not contain any dishes that appealed to myself or my partner. With only days' notice, all comparable restaurants in the area were already fully booked. As a result, we were left without any alternatives, and our Valentine's Day dinner plans were effectively ruined. My partner called the restaurant to clarify options, and the response we received was dismissive and unhelpful, which only compounded the frustration. For a major holiday that requires advance planning, clearer communication would have made a significant difference

The service was great and our server was on top of everything making sure we had everything we needed. I started with a glass of the red sangria which was refreshing. Also, the bread for table is simple and delicious. For an appetizer we started with the Mezzaluna Fritte. They were crispy and paired with a flavorful sauce. For entrees we got the chicken parmigiana with a side of Alfredo pasta and baked ziti with meatballs. My baked ziti had a fresh garden salad to start. The ziti was plentiful and so good. The chicken parm got a decent review. We did not do the deal, however, there was a sign offering a $10 take home entree with the purchase of a entree which I thought was a good deal for the price.

The ambiance of course could be a bit more warm, but I'd totally come back for the chicken parm! They've got new wines, and the pours were heavy! Don't forget about this Italian bevy!

Happy Hour is every day from 3-6pm and 8:30pm-close. I got here like 10 minutes before 6 so I put in a bunch of items. $12 burrata was excellent. I love the pesto, and the flavor overall. The best item of the night. Up next, the $10 Nasvhille hot wings. You get 6 wings. These were good too. Not Hattricks in Tampa good, but certainly up there on the rankings. Then, $10 brussels sprouts. Not crispy or charred enough for me, but they were still good. For drinks, I tried the $11 Delaney's Rita Spicy. Ooooohweee delicious! I also tried a $17 smoke em if you got em. This wasn't one of my favorite mezcals I've ever had. It was actually hard to taste the mezcal. I wouldn't order this one again. Tons of seats at the bar. Lots of sports on the TV's. It was absolutely packed on a Friday at 6pm. I didn't have any issues parking in the parking garage located behind the restaurant. Parking was free. Kind of in the middle of nowhere, but a great hidden gem!
