Giro d’Italia: Adoro BYOB 🇮🇹

🇮🇹 Welcome to Giro d’Italia! 🇮🇹
Get ready to eat, drink, and explore Italy—one Italian restaurant at a time!

🇮🇹 Giro d’Italia (Tour of Italy) is a new monthly dinner series where each month we’ll gather around the table at a different Italian restaurant in the Philadelphia area. From classic favorites to hidden gems and everything in between, we’ll be taking our own little culinary tour of Italy without ever leaving the area.

So bring your appetite, favorite bottle, and enthusiasm for good food and good company, and join us for the next stop on our Giro d’Italia!

🍽️🍷 Next Stop: Adoro BYOB
Our second Giro d’Italia dinner takes us to Adoro, a cozy and intimate Italian BYOB located in Bella Vista, one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant and beloved dining neighborhoods. Adoro is known for its warm, inviting atmosphere, generous portions, and classic Italian dishes with a contemporary touch.

The restaurant has the comfortable feel of a neighborhood Italian spot, with a welcoming feeling that makes it a great place to gather with friends. Its menu offers plenty of Italian favorites, including homemade pastas, chicken and veal dishes, seafood, and a variety of appetizers designed for sharing.

Join us for a fun evening of great Italian food, good conversation, and a bottle of your favorite wine as we continue our culinary tour.

Come hungry and come ready for a great evening of delicious food and good company!

I look forward to seeing old friends, familiar faces, and new ones. Hope you can join us for the second stop on our Giro d’Italia!

🍷 BYOB
Feel free to bring your favorite wine or other alcoholic beverage to complement your dinner.

A note about BYOB etiquette: While most people are happy to share, it is inappropriate and inconsiderate to repeatedly come and drink wine at other people’s expense while never or rarely bringing a bottle to drink and share. Please be considerate of your fellow diners and contribute to the table.

🍝 Food & Cost
I will order several shared appetizers for the table so that we can sample a variety of tastes. Everyone will then order their own entrée from the menu.

You can anticipate the total cost to be approximately $45–$55 per person, including the shared appetizers, entrées, 8% tax, and a 20% tip. Because the bill will be divided equally among everyone attending, the final amount per person will vary depending on the entrées ordered by the group.

Please DO NOT ORDER additional food or beverage items.

If you wish to order anything extra, you must speak with me first so that I can make sure it is accounted for properly when we split the bill.

Please bring CASH to make bill-splitting easier and to avoid any restaurant credit-card surcharge.

⚠️ Allergies / Dietary Restrictions
If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please inform the restaurant in advance or when you arrive.

Please review the menu online carefully and make sure there are suitable choices for you before joining us. Adoro’s current listings indicate that gluten-free options are available, but specific options can change.

📅 Important RSVP Information
I will send a confirmation message a day or two before the dinner asking everyone to confirm that they will be attending. This will allow me to finalize our headcount and make any necessary adjustments to our reservation.

If your plans change, please update your RSVP to “Not Going” as soon as possible so that someone on the waitlist has an opportunity to join us.

🚗 Parking
Street parking is available in the area, although finding a convenient space can take some patience, particularly during the dinner hours.

The Philadelphia Parking Authority operates the 8th & Passyunk Lot at 1012–26 E. Passyunk Avenue, which has 71 spaces and is open 24 hours a day. The PPA also lists other nearby public lots, including South 9th Street and 12th & Passyunk.

You may also find nearby private parking facilities and garages through parking reservation services.

NOTE: Please be aware of and read all parking signs, and be especially careful not to leave anything in your car in plain sight. It’s your responsibility to park safely, protect your belongings, and ensure that you are not ticketed or towed.

🚌 Public Transportation
Adoro is located in an area served by several SEPTA bus routes. The East Passyunk Business Improvement District notes that SEPTA Routes 4 and 29 provide convenient access to East Passyunk Avenue. (East Passyunk BID⁠)

The 9th & Locust PATCO station is another option for those coming from Center City or South Jersey, although it will require a walk or connecting transportation to reach the restaurant. (PATCO⁠)

NOTE: Public transportation and rideshare services are good options, particularly if you plan to enjoy a few glasses of wine.
