Amazing dinner. I had the clam linguine a limon. It was probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever had. It always seems to be busy, which is a good indicator! Inside it’s a hive of activity with very attentive and responsive servers.
Glad we chose this for our last dinner in Rockland.

What a delightful place! We came in on Friday to celebrate my father-in-law’s 75th birthday and everything was flawless. The service was wonderful- our waiter was kind, attentive, and charming. The food was incredible! We especially loved the warm olives, the spaghetti and meatballs, and the pizza. Wonderful atmosphere- cozy and fabulous. We’ll certainly be back more often- an absolute gem!

We’ve been here a handful of times and it’s always great. Incredible pasta and pizza. The tiramisu is overprice imo but still tasty. The cocktails are also fantastic.

We absolutely loved it! We sat at the bar and were waited on my the two bartenders, I believe their names were Stacy and Tony – what a team! Excellent cocktails, great recommendations and lovely service, even while the rush was going on. I had the carbonara, just so delicious for a simple pasta, and my partner the pizza – nice thin crust and cooked to our specifications! What a gem!

Food was really good!! I ordered a cheese pizza with ricotta cheese instead of tomato sauce because of my heart burn. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the sauce was surprisingly delightful! I also got the Alfredo and added the chicken cutlet as well, the sauce was great and creamy and the chicken was cooked to perfection and very juicy in the middle. Only thing that wasn’t the best was the service but I sat in the lounge area so I had a bartender instead of a waiter. The second bartender who wasn’t even my waiter was way more attentive and quick with service wish I had him from the start. Overall it was a really good experience and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a good Italian meal.

I randomly ended up here on a Tuesday afternoon, the bartender was very friendly and so is the host, I apparently had just got there when they opened. Had a happy hour meatball and cheese slice of pizza they were both delicious. Will be back to try more at a later date!

I will begin with the punchline. The food here is fine, but nothing was particularly outstanding. Ada’s Kitchen is on Main Street in downtown Rockland, and so is very convenient. The place was packed on a Wednesday, so make reservations.
We started with cocktails. My Ada’s negroni was fine, reasonably balanced. Their old-fashioned was also good.
We ordered bread, and for $5, it was a rather small amount. We had to ask for the olive oil.
The first things out were the salads. The chopped salad was delicious. Very nice picture of veggies. The peach and burrata salad was literally a mountain of arugula, dressed with balsamic syrup. The burrata and peach were a good foil for all that very bitter arugula. However, yikes! Too much bitter greens!
The brought out the wrong pasta, but were happy to exchange it.
I had the lobster linguine. It was a big portion, but oddly lacking in flavor. The lemon seafood linguine was also a big portion, but again oddly lacking in flavor. Cheese would have helped, and they did bring out a shaker of Parmesan and dried chili flakes. The ragu was good, and the pasta al dente. They accommodated a fussy child with a pizza with no sauce. She was quite happy, as was our other child, who had a nice bowl of buttered noodles.
The service was fine, and the place has lively feel.

Spent $100 here on New Year’s Eve. Hostess was rude, acted like she hated her job. She didn’t even speak to my husband went he went inside to pick up our to-go order. Just shoved a bag in his hand and that was that. Paid $17 for the cheese snack plate appetizer and it looked like something you would get at a gas station. Not worth the money. Paid $5 for bread and dipping oil and only got a measly amount of bread wrapped in tin foil and no oil or dipping anything. Also not worth the money. Meatballs were dry and lasagna had so much cheese on top that it was nauseating. $100??? Take your hard earned money elsewhere.

Wonderful. Fresh pasta, great service, good wine. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area. To start, we had the olives. Probably the best olives I’ve had. Super meaty and a wonderful marinade.
For our meal, we had the fettuccine Ragu and it was super delish. We asked for extra sauce and it didn’t disappoint.
We finished with tiramisu and while it was good and we finished it, it is not the best. I’d recommend going another way on it. If I had to do it again I would have picked the truffles.
The service was great. The ambiance was great. If we were in town another night we would probably eat there again!
