"Adoro in Queen Village hits all the requisite marks of a great Italian BYOB: saucy seafood apps, a chicken parm that’s too big for the plate, and oil paintings of the old country on its walls. There are white tablecloths and daily desserts displayed on a silver platter, but this is an easy place to walk into any day of the week wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Families from the neighborhood are already regulars, masterfully maneuvering their reds around giant housemade pastas and bowls of garlicky clams in white wine sauce. As long as you steer clear of the tough veal al adoro, you’ll be in for a satisfying meal, and will almost certainly leave with leftovers of the creamy, deliciously salty penne alla vodka." - candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean
