De Adriatico Restaurant

If you want a lively and happening place with decent food I would recommend this place.

However, I had high hopes for this place because I love Mediterranean food and I've eaten a lot of it! . I ordered the dip plate (forgot the actual name of it) and substituted the pita for cucumber slices. The tzatsiki was bland and it tasted like it was made with sour cream rather than Greek yoghurt and it lacked garlic for my taste. The hummus was bland. But the big surprise was the babaganoush! It tasted nothing like real babaganoush, no smoked eggplant, but it tasted and looked like cold pasta sauce!?!

My main course was a dish stuffed in cabbage. It was the best part of the dinner, maybe because I had no idea what it was supposed to taste like.

It was very crowded on a Tuesday and the service was slow and we didn't know who our waiter or waitress was. That said, I didn't get sick from eating there and I would try it again in the future to see if they improve.

Server wasn't knowledgeable about what was gf, so that should have been a big warning sign. I asked that he double check with the chef what was safe. I ordered salmon, mashed potatoes and a vegetable. When it was brought out, I asked that it be confirmed again that it was gf and they said yes. I took a Gluten Ease with the meal, and then spoke to the manager who was walking around to tables checking on everyone. He "100% guaranteed" that I would not get sick. Lo and behold I was super sick that night. I thought the manager would want to know, and I also was very curious what I might have eaten that made me sick, so I called him the next day. He was very nice and apologetic and checked with the chef, but couldn't find what it could have been that was gluten, so I just have to assume that it was cross contamination and I am more sensitive to it than I thought.
