New Orleans sure knows a thing or two about food. While we may be known for our Creole cuisine, we’ve got some of the most talented chefs in the world right here in our own backyard, cooking up everything from burgers to pizza. This one intimate restaurant over on Frenchman has been churning out some of the best Creole-Italian food in New Orleans since 1997 and it’s time you pay them a visit.
Nestled along the vibrant Frenchman stands a fairly unassuming restaurant that’s one of the best in town when it comes to Creole-Italian food.
Chris K./Google Adofo’s opened its doors in 1997 and they’ve steadily been growing quite the fan base ever since.
Tiny but mighty, this cozy little cash-only restaurant will quickly capture your heart.
Joshua Smith/Google The dining room only seats about 30 people, so it’s best to call ahead and make a reservation.
Long-time patrons of this hidden gem will tell you that their mussels are the star of the show.

As for the menu, you can expect a healthy array of hearty Creole-Italian cuisine.
Glenn Mehltretter/Google Pasta dishes, seafood and an assortment of beef, poultry, and pork dishes.
Their cannelloni will send your tastebuds into another dimension.
Adolfo’s Restaurant/Facebook Choose from crabmeat and corn, spinach and ricotta, or spinach and Italian sausage.
From pasta to steak, their menu will accommodate just about everyone.
Brett Foster/Google Just a reminder that their house rules are that everyone must order an entree, and that the restaurant is cash-only. There’s an ATM downstairs if you forget!
Their rack of lamb might just be the best in the city.
Deane Pritchard/Google This dish is melt-in-your-mouth good. Keep in mind that everything is cooked to order here, so order a few appetizers and maybe a bottle of wine while you wait. Perfection takes time, after all.
Adolfo’s is open from 5:30 p.m. till 10:30 p.m. seven days a week.
JPU/Google Address: 611 Frenchman Street, New Orleans, LA, 70116
