Ryan Horne+FollowDallas loses a beloved dining gem soonAdelmo’s, a cherished Dallas spot known for its soulful Mediterranean-European flavors, is closing its Inwood location on Dec. 28 due to skyrocketing rent and landlord issues. This isn’t just another restaurant closing—Adelmo’s has been part of countless celebrations and cozy dinners for years. Their Osso Buco, house-made lasagna, and legendary crab cakes have been comfort food for many. With independent restaurants struggling to survive in Dallas’s tough real estate market, it’s a real loss for the community. If you love Adelmo’s, now’s the time to visit, share a meal, and show your support before this chapter ends. #Food #DallasEats #SupportLocal00Share
