*sigh* I don't even know where to begin with Adolfo's...nothing was good about this place. First off what is the deal with them being a Venezuelan and Italian restaurant. Just because your restaurant is located in a primarily Italian neighborhood doesn't mean you have to also serve Italian food. Pick one style and be the master of that style food. I would have more respect for them if they just stuck to what they know and only served Venezuelan food. The menu is SO small and there are barely any vegetarian options. My husband and I looked at the menu for about 15 minutes trying to figure out what to order, we didn't want to order pasta we wanted to try a Venezuelan entree but due to no vegetarian options we had to order a pasta dish. Honestly we were a few seconds away from walking out but didn't want to cause a scene, figured we're already there mise well try something. Started with the onion soup and fried plantains. The soup was so so but really oily with a big lump of cheese in it, which was really chewy and the plantains had a bunch of cheese dumped on top of them and were so greasy and mushy! The entree came with a small salad. No thought put into the salad. Cheap lettuce and the veggies were not even diced, the tomato was hard and the dressing choices were so basic. We split the pesto pasta...not good. Barely ate it. Once again too oily/greasy, too much cheese and a generic flavor!
Also the prices are much too high. Almost $30 for a fish entree that comes with just one small basic side. I almost ordered the fish entree but I wasn't about to pay almost $30. That's ridiculous.
I really don't understand how Adolfo's has so many 5 star reviews. I was so disappointed and felt like I wasted my money on my meal. This was a complete miss for me.
