Reviews
The food was outstanding. We started with the burrata & squash salad, both beautifully balanced, & then shared the fusillino, which was rich & flavorful. Most places I’ve ordered a similar dish to this from – its way too creamy & overpowering, this was perfection. They even split the entrée for us without us asking—a small but thoughtful detail that shows how much they care about the guest experience.
The ambiance is equally impressive. Inside, the design & décor are stunning. We sat outside, where there’s a generous number of tables & large heaters that kept us warm n cozy.
Having worked in the industry for 15 years at several high-end Italian restaurants, I can honestly say this place does not disappoint. Chestnut Hill is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated yet welcoming dining experience.
The food is both authentic and delicious. I highly recommend starting with the stuffed focaccia, olives, and calamari. For mains, the pasta carbonara and the filet mignon are outstanding choices.
The staff is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and committed to making your experience exceptional. Adelina’s is absolutely worth the visit.
The food is where Adelina truly shines. Every dish that came to the table looked like it belonged in a magazine spread, beautifully plated with clear attention to detail. The flavors backed it up even more: rich, balanced, and memorable. The appetizers were fresh and creative, the entrees were hearty yet refined, and the desserts closed the night on a perfect note. Paired with well-crafted cocktails and a thoughtfully curated wine list, every course felt like it was part of a carefully planned journey.
What stood out most was the consistency. From start to finish, the quality never dipped. The timing of the courses was flawless, and the staff had that rare ability to anticipate needs before being asked. You can tell the team here takes pride in both the food and the guest experience.
Adelina is more than just a place to eat, it’s a restaurant that delivers on every level: atmosphere, service, and incredible cuisine. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself to a night out, this is a must-visit spot in Philadelphia.
Normally I don’t post reviews, whether they’re good or bad. This is actually only my second review. During my birthday weekend celebration, I came in yesterday and had an amazing time with my friends. My meals were so good that I already had in mind what I wanted to come back and eat the next day. My waiter yesterday was exceptional, and that’s one of the main reasons I decided to return today with my fiancé to finish celebrating my birthday.
Unfortunately, today’s experience was very different.
First, I ordered the grilled octopus, and it wasn’t cooked enough. I sent it back just to have it cooked a little longer, but when it came back it was actually worse than before.
I also ordered the lobster ravioli. Yesterday I didn’t get the lobster with the ravioli, so I decided to order it today. When it came out it smelled a little fishy, but I tried to stay optimistic. The first bite with the ravioli wasn’t too bad, but the second bite by itself was extremely salty and really turned me off. I ended up only eating the ravioli by itself. While eating it, I bit into a piece and found a shell from the lobster. I had to spit it out because I didn’t want to swallow it.
I explained everything to my waiter about both the octopus and the lobster shell in the ravioli, but nothing was taken off the bill. At that point I just said okay, no problem.
The service was also very different from the day before. My waiter yesterday was attentive and made the experience enjoyable. Today, the service felt very lacking. Our cups were not refilled, silverware wasn’t replaced, and while she did check on us briefly, she wasn’t really present like the waiter from Friday.
I also got a bit of a stereotypical vibe, almost as if she assumed I couldn’t afford the meal. I’m not sure if it was prejudice or just the service style, but it didn’t feel welcoming.
Despite everything, I still tipped her, just a lower amount because the service simply wasn’t the same as the day before.
If I were to return, it would probably be on a Saturday again. Sundays seem more relaxed, but maybe a little too relaxed where the service and attention to detail just isn’t the same.
Place had chill relaxing vibes. Hostess was welcoming and super friendly. Waiter was accommodating, nice and helpful.
The food and drinks were wonderful. Wife had steak and eggs along with a mimosa. I enjoyed a squash salad with shrinp and an expresso martini. So good!
To top it off we shared tiramisu… they brought it out with a candle…nice touch 🙂
It was so good we got dinner to go.
Needless to say we’ll return.
