One of the best Italian restaurants in Berkeley. The food was exceptional! We shared 2 appetizers that each had amazing textures and flavors. Experience here was wonderful! We loved the outdoor seating. And the service was fantastic. Definitely coming back!

Nice countryside style interior and delicious food. Very popular on a Friday night. Only strange thing is that both the bread and the potatoes are not crispy at all, but still tasty anyways

Since I came back from Italy I have made it my mission to find good, affordable Italian restaurants in the Bay. This one was truly amazing! The pasta was fantastic and the desserts as well!

Excellent food, attentive and helpful service, and the owner is amazing. He came to our table to see how our dinner was and when we asked if a certain wine was served by the glass he opened a bottle and gave us a glass even though it wasn’t part of the menu. So nice! Such a nice dining experience can be rare these days. Everyone at our table loved their dishes and the oil and herbs dip with the bread was incredible! We will definitely be going to Agrodolce Osteria on a regular basis!

Absolutely phenomenal meal and service. Each course was better than the next, top notch staff and beautiful atmosphere. One of the best places to dine in Berkeley, with a large (15+) group or just a few. Real Italian hospitality at its finest. Ask the story of the car parked in front, you won’t be disappointed. La dolce vita, enjoy.

This is the kind of Sicilian magic that only happens when you have someone’s mom or grandma involved in the production or recipes, and a staff that is well treated, and experienced at what they do. I had been wanting to dine here for a while, but as I travel often I didn’t have the time. I was happy to see that they were open on a Tuesday.
