Jaime and Pedro Delgado opened Adela's in 2014 with a simple promise: to serve great food, genuine warmth, and a wonderful time. A decade later, Phoenix keeps coming back.
How It All Started
Jaime and Pedro Delgado brought over 35 years of culinary experience to one belief: authentic Italian cooking should be for everyone. They opened Adela's on Thomas Road in 2014, family owned from the very first night.
What Comes Out of the Kitchen
Every entrée arrives with a dome of fresh-baked Italian bread — that's just how this kitchen thinks. The lasagna, arancini with peas, and handmade pasta have earned their own devoted regulars.
Phoenix Took Notice
USA Today named Adela's one of the 10 Best Italian Restaurants in Phoenix. The Arizona Republic and Arizona Ascent have both featured the family's story — and reviewers keep landing on the same word: wholesome.
A Place That Feels Like Home
Whether it's a quiet Tuesday dinner or a big celebration, the care is the same every time. That consistency is what's made Adela's a Phoenix institution for over ten years.
