I'm Italian and lived in Italy for almost 30 years. Well Adelmo's has been one of the wrst experience of my life. I had a Lasagna and other than the name nothing was like a lasagna. Plus the place is quite expensive. For the same type of food, go to Olive's Garden at least is cheaper. Adelmo, the owner, is Italian so what is he doing at the bar, his place should be in the kitchen!!!!! It is not an Italian restaurant if is owned by an Italian, it's Italian when the person that cook is Italian!!!!! I will never go there again!!!!!

We dined here a few days ago with a group doing a little wine tasting. It was impromptu as we had friends in from out of town and did not want to feed them another steak or baked potato. With a little assistance from Adelmo, we picked out four bottles of wine (a white and three tuscans) and had a nice experiment with wines that we have never had before. We ordered family style mussels, calamari, stuffed mushrooms, gnocchi bolognese, and beef tartare. Wowww. Lucky for us, Adelmo was visiting with a wine purveyor showing him some wines. He actually took a minute and let us try a prosecco that the salesman was tasting. Special indeed. Then for dinner, we had the waiter pick us six dinners that would go well with the red wines. All surprise we don't care as long as its good. Well it was fabulouso. Veal osso buco, buffalo osso buco, veal parmigiana, lamb chops, meat lasagna, and rigatoni bolognese. We shared all the dishes and were more than satisfied. The bolognese is one of the best around. We had a couple desserts after and after dinner drinks. Fun fun. Check them out.

My husband and I were excited to try Adelmo's after reading great reviews on the food and atmosphere. We never got to try the food for ourselves, as we were treated so poorly by the waiter who was seating us that we turned around and left. We went on a Wednesday evening, and the restaurant was not full - he directed us to a table next to the front door, and we asked if we could sit somewhere else, as it was right by the door and the evening was chilly. He informed us that even though he had two 4-person tables open downstairs, and two 3-person tables upstairs, he would not seat us at any of those because he was expecting people to show up. He very rudely told us that if we didn't want that one table by the door, he would not seat us anywhere else and we could go somewhere else if we wanted. On a Wednesday night, during a downturn in the economy when many people are cutting "dining out" out of their budget, you're going to turn away 2 customers when you have 4 open tables, and you're going to be rude about it? We happily gave our business to someone else that evening.
