Adriano's has excellent food and is a great place to dine. I love the bruschetta, gnocchi, penne vodka, calamari, etc. It doesn't get much more authentic than this place, and Adriano is very friendly and runs a fabulous restaurant. LOVE LOVE LOVE Adriano's!!
This was always my favorite restaurant. I have been there with my friends many times and have referred alot of people, however all good things come to an end.

The best I've ever tasted...ANYWHERE! It is from "BREADBASTARD" a local baker I've heard of before from friends. It is onl...
