Courtney was a great server and so was the hostess. We ordered their garden salad and onion rings for starters then chicken saltimbocca and roasted lamb for entrees. The chicken was wrapped in prosciutto with sage, white wine, mozzarella, potato purée and greens. The lamb was served with a tomato and couscous ragout, whipped feta, greens and lemon aioli. Everything was delicious. Parking was extremely difficult to find. Hopefully our car won't be towed because we parked in an iffy space. .

So, when I discovered they moved a bit down the road to a larger nicer locale I was expecting a better experience. But I was disappointed by the slow service. Now you seat at the table and they wait for you. But the waiter took too long to take my full order after getting my initial beverage order. And then I waited for 20 minutes and my order had not arrived. On top of that some items in the menu where not available as they run out of Hollandaise sauce. Looks like even if the place is bigger, they still have a little kitchen not able to serve the larger clientele, and they are disorganized. At the end they forgot of my orders and I left as I could not wait any longer for food. What a missed opportunity!

Since I have been with large parties I have had almost everything on the menu. All of it is good. There's never been a dish I didn't like. Plus, they cook-to-order.

When I assured them I was serious, they served me the food spicy hot. Others couldn't eat it, but I certainly enjoyed it.

The ambience inside truly gives you a eye catching showcase of Italian culture. The artwork is truly masterful. It takes you on an immaculate journey through the Italian renaissance all the way to "an American girl in Italy 1951." The food was delicious! The Filetto Al Pepe was cooked perfectly & the peppercorn sauce was on point. The pairing with a New Zealand Pinot noir truly brought out every flavor that wasn't meant to be tasted. The Tiramisu for dessert was also really good. Adriana's is definitely a must try here in Hamilton

Off to the side were refrigerators filled with fresh soy milk and other items that could be taken as to go including bags of their frozen dumplings. We grabbed our own seats inside. It took us awhile to figure out what to order and then we went to the counter to place our order. Service was good and friendly. That day we tried the following: Pan fried 20 piece assorted dumplings - Nicely crisped wrappers. The pork & prawn with chives was our favorite.
