Adriatico is known primarily for its restaurants and bars centered on the area around Remedios Circle between Nakpil and Remedios Streets, considered the center of bohemian night life in the city.[1]

The street was named in 1964 after Macario Adriatico, a Filipino parliamentarian and author of Manila's city charter. It was formerly known as Dakota Avenue, after the U.S. states of North and South Dakota.[2]
