- CConradVIPNew York City •19 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoIn fact, we were pleased that the restaurant was packed for all the right reasons. We appreciated that after a late dinner after which there were many empty tables, that we could linger & talk in the restaurant on a cold night. Hosts are welcoming and gracious.More infoMASSERIA EASTPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Upper East Side•4.7
- CChristineVIPNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoSuch a fun experience! The pasta class was very beginner friendly. The instructor was patient, checked in on everyone, & loud enough to hear. Our group was huge & took up the entire length of the table. Afterwards, our food was great. Super generous portions, friendly service. I would come back & do it again with a friend it was that good. Highly recommend!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
- TTimVIPNew York City •20 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI have been to Adria several times and it continues to be a delight. The food is great, the service is great, and the restaurant is sophisticated with great lighting and comfortable seating. I particularly like the meatballs and the prosciutto and mozzarella as appetizers, both exquisite. I’ve had the lamb, the halibut, and the paccheri with lobster and all are outstanding. Will definitely be going back again and again.More infoAdriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper East Side•4.6
