After an absolutely horrible experience at Burger Shoppe. The posse, minus two, head to Adrienne's as its the only thing we can think of that nearby as we're all starving.
When we arrive the restaurant is buzzing but they are able to seat us at a both immediately. The restaurant narrow, with some family style dining tables at the front, a long banquette and seating at the bar. The place has a nice vibe as it's casual and laid back.
Not wasting any or server was at the table and gave us an explanation on how things work and gave us a rundown of the specials. He was polite, knowledgeable, most importantly FAST! We order drinks, tea entrees. The cocktails took the edge off, as a light weight drinker the Berry Caipirovska was refreshing. We ordered a couple of Margherita pizza and Funghi with pepperoni pizza, stuffed shells and I ordered the lasanga. For starters I order the Shrimp Oreganata.
As we were recapping the previous experience no sooner did the shrimp arrive at the table. Scrumptious! Lightly breaded and moist with a nice sauce. About ten minutes later all our entree's arrive hot and correct. The pizza is very good as I like my pizza with thin crust but able to hold a lot of sauce and cheese. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza was very flavorful. The shells and lasagna had the same great sauce, and the portions were huge. The lasagna was off amazing, meaty, evenly spread, perfect noodles and multilayered with tons of cheese. I wanted to lick my plate. The Shells were enormous and overflowing with ricotta cheese and spinach. Over all, the kids were pleased.
The price for the items was reasonable considering the neighborhood, portion size and quality of the food.
Adrienne's is a nice place with a neighborhood feel. It's a restaurant where you can start your night off, start off happy hour or end with a nice date.
