Worth the visit, worth the penny (4.5/5)

While we've read recommendations on what to try, we decided to have a freehand and base it on vibe/what we want at that time! Haha

We had chorizo in garlic as appetizer, Polpetta and Rabo de Toro as mains. The highlight is Rabo de Toro, this is one of their new dishes. We love how tender the meat was, and the sauce !! Topnotch

Ordered two desserts: Canonigo with Mango and Cappuccino Cheesecake. I liked how Canonigo's sweetness is just right! It completes our meal. My personal favorite however is the Cappuccino Cheesecake, it just hits different. My partner preferred the Canonigo because he felt like the coffee notes was too strong in the cheesecake but I love it that way 😀 I honestly can't stop thinking about it again now that I'm typing about it

Since we’re history and heritage enthusiasts, we definitely loved the ambiance. They said that the E. Aguilar Cruz Painting is an original one!

Tip: We made a reservation because we dined here Saturday night. I figured it was challenging to get a table during 6-8 pm and I was right because some who didn't have reservations had to wait outside.

Looking forward to our next meal here, next time we'll go for the bestsellers and drinks!

Cafe adriatico is a classic. I’ve been eating here occasionally for the past 13 years. The food honestly is a hit or miss but the atmosphere and sense of history is unbeatable. The key is to not be overwhelmed by the menu choices. Great place for meeting new people over breakfast
