I walked by this place numerous times and with a name like ""Adria,"" I thought it had to do with the Adriatic coast. We dined during the week. The owners were very friendly and attentive. Wonderful fresh bread. If you like seafood like mussels, grilled calamari, shrimp and octopus, get in here right away. If you don't, give it a try - you will realize you love it! My husband had the Captains Black Risotto - outstanding! Wow, I want to return tonight and have an order for myself. I had pasta with mussels, very good, but even better the next day. I plan to try the grilled calamari next time. Food was presented beautifully, prices are extremely reasonable, and it's BYO with no corkage fee. I recommend that they put their glowing reviews from the Reader and Time Out Chicago in the windows and maybe a standing billboard outsid the door when they're open so passers by will give them a try. Business seems to be slow, but with quality and prices like this, they should be packed every night. Give them a try, this is delicious food. They are open Tuesday - Sunday (I think). From 5pm for dinner only.
Pros: Outstanding adriatic seafood, great prices, abundant street parking
Cons: Exterior should exhibit their great reviews to draw in more customers
