What People Are Saying About Ado Ristorante

Want to feel as though you've just visited your long-lost Italian cousin's home in some quaint European countryside? Then this just might be the place. Despite its canary-yellow exterior, this adorable rustic Italian eatery is somewhat of a hidden find. Taking up residence in a charming two-story Venice house, the cozy space's ground level is not much more than a chef's table and kitchen. Upstairs, rugged wooden beams and blonde chairs surround not more than 13 tables, all lit by flickering candles, of course. (The most romantic spot is probably on the balcony.) The duo behind it all are Paolo…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- A nice regional Italian wine list offers 12 by the glass ($6 to $38) and bottles ranging from a $41 Falanghina Sannio Mastroberardino to a $490 Amarone Campo Marna I campi 03.

AVOID!
by thlatty
More cramped than a sardine can. Waiters could barely move, which may partially explain the service - not just bad, none. Hotter than hell (restaurant has no A/C or ventilation and sits above the kitchen) and just as hard to get even a glass of water. Intolerably loud - I think my ears were bleeding by the end of the meal - and we skipped desert to end the torture. Insanely expensive; insufferable corkage policy; dark and depressing. AVOID!
