NYC’s New Restaurant Openings

"On the Upper East Side, Adria is an Italian spot focused on the Adriatic Coast. It's from the team behind L’Osteria, and they're serving dishes like grilled octopus with potato cream and ‘nduja, ravioli stuffed with sheep’s milk ricotta and mushrooms, and grilled swordfish in an olive and pine nut sauce." - will hartman

We loved having dinner here! Food was delicious! Drinks were tasty! Love the atmosphere and the service was perfect! May be the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!

The room looks great, nice chandeliers, upscale interior; Service is fine, nothing to complain about; Relatively quiet early Thursday evening when we arrived. Food is great. The shrimp were carefully cooked and tasted fresh with a delicate flavor. Same for the swordfish. Lamb chops, despite being slightly overcooked, tasted good and came with fine mashed potatoes and a nicely reduced sauce. Prices are acceptable for the quality of the food and the nice ambiance. It is not a very lively place, not a place where you would go to party. But for a tranquil and enjoyable meal, free from the clamor of loud crowds, this is an excellent choice.

Really great service. The server said it was his 2nd day and he had a lot of presence, shout out to him. I enjoyed the lobster pasta which had huge chunks of lobster and did not have much cream in it. The cheesecake was also incredible. Overall, a nice quiet meal in the UES.

NYE dinner. Probably one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC. Kudos to this new restaurant. The halibut dish was spectacular. It’s pricey, but what isn’t in nyc these days, and I’ll gladly pay for quality. Had the tuna, burrata and beet salad appetizers, all solid. Tried my wife’s lamb chops, delicious. Got an order of the lobster pasta for the table to share which was also enjoyable. For dessert, the riccota cheesecake was the standout. Absolutely out of this world. Luciano was our server and he attentive and guided us in the right direction. A must visit.

Great new spot in the UES (it replaced Grey Hawk Grille). Love the new dining room. Simple and elegant atmosphere. Sat at the bar and had the Mozzarella & Prosciutto, Rigatoni, and Lamb Chops. All exquisite! Service from Luciano (?) and Rodolfo was top notch. Definitely coming back.

Culinary Excellence and Impeccable Service at Adria: We had a fantastic birthday dinner tonight at Adria! From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. The evening kicked off with a spicy old fashioned that was hands-down the best cocktail ever—we were so wowed that after raving about it, our wonderful waiter had the bartender come over to share the recipe. Such a great touch! The gem salad and calamari were both outstanding starters—fresh, vibrant, and beautifully prepared. For mains, the LOBSTER PACCHERI was absolutely divine, and the halibut was cooked to perfection. We couldn’t resist dessert, and we’re glad we didn’t—the pear tart and chocolate mousse were the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal. The service was beyond outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. And a major bonus: Adria is one of the few restaurants in NYC where you can actually enjoy your company without shouting across the table. The noise level was just right. Adria is a gem. Already looking forward to our next visit!

This spot offers remarkable quality. Nice workers and good cooking come in large amounts at budget-friendly prices. The staff member showed enthusiasm while describing food choices. The serving size exceeds what the price suggests. The experience left a good impression.

My family and I just had dinner here and it was perfect. The restaurant staff were polite and attentive. We had a 1yr old and 3yr old but our dinner went so smoothly because the restaurant was accommodating to our requests. The food was perfectly cooked. We got the calamari, grilled shrimp, ravioli, and halibut. Every single dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. They also cooked our toddler regular butter pasta on the side and it was delicious. My husband and I commented that we would order the dish ourselves. The sauces that came with each dish balanced the meal so well. The restaurant was spacious and well lights. Music wasn't blasting but just enough. We had such a great dining experience here. We will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

Had a great dinner at the newly opened Adria with my friends. Beautiful interior design, chilled vibe. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the octopus and the red snapper. The ingredients were fresh, flavorful but also very well balanced. The only improvement would be the dessert, did not see anything special.

First time here. Nice ambiance, up to date without being too modern. Beet salad was great, they used pesto instead of the more common feta. Everything is fresh. Both pastas were just right. Not too much oil. Broccolini cooked right. Apricot tart for dessert was excellent. Service attentive and not excessive. Perfect place to go. Good interior design so not noisy - you can speak normally with the folks you came with

Our dinner was absolutely special and delicious. We started with a shared lobster pasta. Absolutely delicious and quite plentiful. We both had fish entrees. The swordfish was yummy and a very generous portion. The red snapper with clams was also wonderful. The attentiveness of the staff is very special. Can't wait to go back.
