"The passing of chef Adolfo Perez Palavacini in 2023 was a blow to the many fans of his rich Creole Italian cuisine on Frenchmen Street. His family is keeping his legacy alive at Adolfo’s, situated above the Apple Barrel, a no-frills joint that draws legions of loyal regulars. Almost everything is tasty and sizable, laced with cream and slathered with cheese. Try the shrimp alfredo, mussels marinara over spaghetti, and of course the cannelloni." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
