Frommer's Review

A charming, traditional Italian eatery occupying a cute two-story house tucked into a nexus of high-end design and furnishings shops, as well as a bevy of upscale bars and restaurants, Adelmo's is a refreshing and unexpected find in the Knox-Henderson corridor, which is obsessed with being chic. Adelmo's may not be fashionable, but it is as low key, cozy and friendly as it looks, with excellent, personal service, and a good value to boot. It's one of the few restaurants where entrees still come with a dinner salad. Classic dishes include homemade pastas, of course, and osso buco. I recently took my mom here for dinner, and we enjoyed stuffed mushrooms and gnocchi, pork loin medallions Florentine, and a gorgonzola-crusted buffalo rib-eye. The wine list has some delightful finds and good deals. Dallas has plenty of restaurants hoping to be the next big thing, but Adelmo's is content to be cool in its own skin.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
