“ Our food for a group of six was delicious. I asked will two appetizers arrancini, grilled octopus, be enough and our waiter a young bespectacled man who told us his name was Antonio? said rather blunt ly "no." So we ordered three appetizers adding the lamb lollipops. It's true, portions were reasonable not a Bucca di Beppo type restaurant. But let me tell you...we were relaxed, we talked ( we all came for a family event from the four corners of the country). So, it was the perfect evening. Thank you for hosting us on this auspicious day! ”

“ Went to Salem to celebrate Halloween. Got hungry so we found this spot which felt like it was in the hub of everything. I was overly pleased with our service but food was mediocre. Definitely won't be returning. ”

“ Incredible service and amazing food. Our group of 6 had an incredible experience here for a girls trip to Salem. We had the salmon, cavatelli, shrimp risotto, and penne primavera and it was all delicious ”

“ Located close to the heart of downtown Salem, I think this would still be considered downtown, we were able to get a reservation here on a Friday night, which was nice because Salem in October can be extremely busy. We went for our anniversary, they sat us at a nice table, Service was extremely friendly and attentive. Food was pretty good, my husband got the Bolognese which he said was pretty basic, but was good. My pizza was a little gooey underneath, but crispy on top, but it was fine. They have a full bar and easy to find location. ”

“ Went to Adriatic last night and absolutely loved it. We started off with 2 appetizers; the toasted pita bread with 3 dips (tzatziki, babaganoush, and muhammara) and the zucchini blossoms which were stuffed with lemon ricotta. Both were delicious. The waitress was super helpful and sold us on both specials. We ordered the lobster and cavatelli special and the halibut special and both were to die for. We sat outside and enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Pics are blurry since I didn't want to disturb others with the flash. Would definitely recommend and will visit next time we are in town. ”

“ Yelp is sleeping on this restaurant! The indoor/outdoor patio was lovely. Great ambiance. We shared the arugula salad - ingredients were fresh, large serving for two. My fiance loved it, personally I thought the vinaigrette could use a little more citrus, and perhaps more pepper. Nonetheless, it was very fresh and enjoyable. The main entree's were INCREDIBLE. Food plating 10/10. I had the Leet / Ricotta ravioli. It was a perfectly balanced dish, offering the warm pasta feeling but not too heavy on your stomach. My partner had the eggplant Parmesan. Sauce was flavorful, with a proper amount of parm cheese, eggplant was crispy and well breaded. One of the best we have ever had *chef's kiss* Overall, 10/10 experience here. Highly recommend, we will be back!! ”

“ We stopped in here on our first day in Salem kind of by accident. It was pouring and everywhere in town had a 3 hour long wait. We found this place that had the smallest line at the door and decided this was it. The patio doors were open which was odd given the rain but also how cold it was. We waited in line for about 40 minutes prior to getting inside the door and thankfully we noticed 2 seats available at the bar. We sat down and were greeted by a very nice bartender who offered us menus and advice on what to order. We ordered some Shipyard pumpkin ales which turned out to be the theme of the weekend for us. It comes with a cinnamon sugar rim! We also ordered a flatbread and the hush puppies. The restaurant definitely has white table cloth fine dining vibes, but with the hoards in town for Halloween weekend, they definitely adapted appropriately with butcher paper table toppers and quick service. Our food was incredible and it was fun watching the staff have to adjust from fine dining mode to everyone at the same time mode. Our bartender was very busy and at one point she was absolutely gassed. She kept checking on us but really we wanted to make sure she was good to go. She maintained a smile the WHOLE time, like you'd never know she was struggling at all but I could tell how much work she was putting in when this place very clearly doesn't get this kind of crowd 11 months out of the year. Everyone did a really great job. Kudos! ”

“ Super calm Italian restaurant in the middle of Salem and walking distance from the Essex area so it's quieter. It was a good place for dinner during Halloween weekend when everywhere was just nuts. I got the spicy salami flat bread which was delicious. Our waiter was friendly and entertaining. Sodas are not free refills btw. It was $4 to refill my coke. ”
