We had a great evening at Enoteca Adriano for New Years Eve! The new menu was perfect, the food was excellent and the staff, as always was the best! This is the place for great Italian food and hospitality! The buratta cheese wrapped in prosciutto with arugula and fig jam was the perfect appetizer. Lobster ravioli and the rigatoni with short rib ragu were perfectly cooked and tasted amazing!
