With Italian and Creole fare, Adolfo’s is one of the more popular restaurants in Bywater. Mixing Creole-style seafood with Italian dishes, every item on the menu is delightfully Adolfo’s. With entrees like the shrimp and craw-fish pasta combo or baby clams with Alfredo, Adolfo’s serves comfort and creativity. However, it’s a small space and fills up quick.
