I was not impressed with this place. My eggplant parm had 3 small thinly sliced pieces of eggplant & the noodles were a little too hard for 2 out of the 3 of us that had noodles. I was given quite a bit of noodles & my marinara sauce was quite watery. Overall, my dish lacked flavor. This place is super tiny and the waiter kept coughing (sometimes into his hand sometimes into the air) and then touching glasses, plates, etc. My husband had the flounder, it was flavorful & spicy.

Good restaurant to eat at at least once or to take friends who are visiting. Pricey to be a regular thing. Small cute upstairs space. We got there right at opening so there was no wait. We were a little rowdy and everyone was very nice. Our waiter Scotty really made the experience fun. He was the best waiter I’ve had anywhere in a long time.
We all got the fresh fish with ocean sauce and it was divine. Amazing sauce! Salads were fresh and the mustard vinnagrate was really good.

Praise be to the house salad sauce, a delectable elixir whose main ingredient appears to be garlic ❤️. The rack of lamb was simply phenomenal. Eggplant Parmesan also terrific. We came back for a second night.
House wine — not great. Eggplant with ocean sauce didn’t work for me. Bread could be better (and more copious). Overall, though, great food, nice ambiance, good service.

I had an unexpectedly authentic Italian dining experience at Adolfo’s on Frenchmen. I honestly didn’t even know this place existed and stumbled upon it by accident.
It’s a small restaurant with limited seating, and you’ll need to climb a narrow staircase to get inside. Still, it’s absolutely worth the visit—especially if you’re planning a romantic night out and want to impress.
I loved the Pasta with Italian Sausage, and the Chicken Parmigiana was perfect.

The food and service tonight were horrible. The chef was angry and yelling at the staff. We got mussels and they tasted like dirty lake water. See picture, as they looked like it too. We asked our server to tell us more about them and he kept saying garlic and white wine. We had to flag the server down multiple times. They brought our sides before our appetizer. Just a crappy experience. Our third visit but definitely our last.

I had the Rack of Lamb that was overcooked, not a hint of mint and over seasoned with Rosemary. Everything on the menu is made with cream or butter which after 3 days in New Orleans, my gut was in full revolt of cream and butter. My girlfriend had Veal Frances.

Adolfo’s is an absolute gem! You cannot leave without trying the Ocean sauce—it is pure magic, especially when paired with their incredible bread. The eggplant is another non-negotiable must-order. For the main event, the stuffed flounder is delicious and incredibly filling. The ambiance was perfect, and our waiter steered us in exactly the right direction with their recommendations. A 10/10 New Orleans experience

The best food, atmosphere, and people! Get here before 5:30, but we’ve come later and been first on the wait list both times we’ve come and we’ve loved getting or listen to the bands downstairs in the apple blossom before heading to dinner. The stuffed flounder is a MUST and the cannelloni is an amazing appetizer. Lemon cello is the best cake for dessert. Staff is so amazing. We had Amy this time and loved her!! Definitely come here – coming from locals!

We were all a wee Bit disappointed with our whole experience.. sat down at the table for 10 minutes no menu no acknowledgement.. had to go ask for a room menus.. had to ask for water.. had to ask for the bread.. didn’t have one of the appetizers. We ordered then brought one of the appetizers to the table, but we had to ask for utensils. Appetizer escargot was delivered cold had to send back. So salty it was so darn salty and I love salt. You do not get anything but meat on your plate so if you order the steak or the veal Parm, which we did, it’s just a hunk of meat. And did I say SALTY? The meat was tender. It was good. I liked it, but I couldn’t eat it because of the amount of salt. Super disappointing. It actually hurt my belly. Our friends enjoyed their pasta that I felt it tasted basically like pasta the water as sauce instead of a sauce. This restaurant was highly recommended. I’m just assuming that we had a new waitress who knew nothing. And the kitchen staff was tired because we were there around 8:30ish .. would I go back.. NO if I could get my money back, I would.. super disappointing special for $100.. for two pieces of meat and a side salad oh yes, and the escargot.. no drinks

Pretty good. Everything needed salt, however. The pork chop smothered in ocean sauce was the best thing we had all night. It had a very smoky taste that complimented the ocean sauce well. Would not get the rack of lamb again.
Get there early, as the restaurant became full around 6.
