About this place
The Showa-era hot dog, described as a jumbo 20-centimetre serving, is a standout on adagietto’s menu. Its nostalgic name and generous size make it an appealing choice to build a meal around.
For a meal of smaller plates, choose from the daily selection of prepared dishes. Options range from spinach simmered in dashi and lotus root with sakura shrimp stir-fried with salt to smoked duck breast served with balsamic sauce. There are assortments of 3 or 5 dishes for anyone keen to try a few. Individual plates include shrimp and mushroom ajillo served with baguette, and a whole baked Camembert with honey-pepper sauce.
For a more substantial main, consider the hand-stretched pizza or the spaghetti of the day. The menu includes Margherita, as well as crab and shimeji mushrooms in tomato cream sauce and scallops with asparagus in cream sauce. Visitors have mentioned having pasta, pizza and small dishes alongside a tasting of several beers. The menu lists a “2-beer tasting set”; wine and cocktails are also available. This is a bar suited to a meal shared over several dishes, or to an evening pairing a favourite drink with snacks.
