Adolfo is located in Toledo, one of Spain's most emblematic cities and the capital of the Holy Roman Empire of Carlos V, situated in a 14th-15th century Jewish house, close to the Primada Cathedral of Toledo, in the old quarter known as Judería Mayor, where Jewish families of that time chose to live.

Adolfo was opened in 1979 and these days, the owners carry on the work their parents started. The restaurant has four areas, Veronica Room, The Hombre de Palo Room, The Granada Room and the Main Room. The last room features 14th century New-Mudejar style art that was concealed behind a roof of plaster and reed. The roof served to protect the art over the centuries and keep it in perfect condition. The art is registered by the Toledo School of Surveyors as one of the finest preserved pieces in the city.

The restaurant also has a large wine cellar in Jewish caves that date back to the 9th century. There they have 44,000 bottles of wine from 1,850 different references. The food is created using quality, fresh produce from the region. They place special emphasis on regional products and game, giving them the treatment that their flavours are worthy of. The saffron, cheese, honey, garlic and other products from Castilla-La Mancha become essential ingredients in the cooking, which uses a lot olive oil.
