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

Great experience here at Adria. A relatively new venue on UES, pulling all stops to cater to diners with thoughtful and balanced menu, nice interior with ample space between tables. Presentation of the dishes were excellent. Service was impeccable. Definitely a fine addition to this area for well-curated palette.

Loved the meatballs and service was very attentive. My husband really enjoyed the ziti alla genovese, but unfortunately I did not enjoy the lobster paccheri. We’ll definitely plan to come back and I’ll try a different dish next time since it seems like a good neighborhood spot.

I took my girlfriend Adria here, everything was done to perfection. Service was great. We got the octopus, and it was a little small but still very yummy. Also got the veal ragu, and it was cooked to perfection, but don’t forget to order the sausage and pepper ragu, it will rock your world. It’s in a beautiful tangy red sauce. You should also get the cheese cake, goes so hard. Loved it so so so much, coming back for sure!

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.

We went there for a Saturday dinner and had a great time! Servers were very friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, very fresh and perfectly cooked. The drinks were also amazing. I highly recommend it!

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.

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.
