Our Cafe Adriatico review is one that’s way too late. We used to go to this place in the early 90s. It was our gimmick place, kind of like the last destination for the night or early morning. 🙂

But of course, those were my pre mommy days, and having gone totally domestic in the early 2000s, it took a while for me to go back.

That is no exaggeration. After about 33 years (that’s an estimate) I finally returned to Cafe Adriatico. I brought along my son.

Cafe Adriatico Review

A long, long time ago, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth 😄, Cafe Adriatico was one of the “in” places to go to. If you were on a date, it was one of those places you’d probably end up in.

The cozy and dim-lit ambiance of the place made it a perfect date place.

Its location also made it very easy for us to walk to the other bars nearby.

I remember The Library was pretty near. So after some hot chocolate or maybe coffee, we would walk to The Library and then go back to Cafe Adriatico to eat some more or maybe just pick up the car that was left to park there.

But of course, that was centuries ago. 😄

However, a couple of days ago, I decided to go back to Cafe Adriatico and take my son.

It was after work and my husband and I had to pick up my son in his new school. He was attending his orientation (Yes, he is an incoming freshman now!) and since his new school is pretty near Cafe Adriatico, we decided to have dinner there.

At first, my son was not too crazy about it since he had not heard of the place. But I told him to keep an open mind and just try it out. Despite the look on his face, we proceeded to Cafe Adriatico.

It was the same old familiar place. it has not changed over the years.

The interiors are the same. The furniture and the paintings on the wall are exactly the same way as I remember them. Even the lighting is the same.

The service crew was still as friendly as ever.

For sure, they were not the same people since they looked pretty young but the quality of service prevailed.

They are still very attentive and friendly.

Cafe Adriatico Menu

Now for the Cafe Adiratico menu. One thing I can say is that it’s not too bad at all.

My son was pretty happy with what he had ordered.

I ordered some Nacho Salad, which he happily picked on. The salad was not bad. It was a good starter dish for us who were pretty hungry at that point.

Then our orders started coming in. My son was pretty happy with his hamburger with some Emmenthal cheese.

I had to order their pan de sal with kesong puti that comes with some hot chocolate. I must say that their pan de sal is one of the best that I have tasted. It’s freshly baked. Smells and tastes so good.

It was just too bad that I forgot to take a picture of their hot chocolate. But it was so good, super rich and creamy. It was hot chocolate made from tablea. Definitely worth a try.  👍

Check out our other orders, all of which we were happy with.

Of course, we had to have some puto with the dinuguan.

For dessert, my son ordered some banana crepe. I asked him how it was and he said he liked it but it kind of tasted like uncooked turon. 🤣

This chorizo with garlic was a good choice.
Best paired with the chorizo with garlic.
You can never go wrong with some Caesar salad.

Cafe Adriatico Price

Considering everything we ordered, the price was not bad at all. I would say Cafe Adriatico is still a great place to visit, whether you are with your family or with a special someone on a date.
