Erika Rodriguez
Our favorite Italian restaurant when we want to stay close to home. We’ve been here a hand full of times since moving around the area and its always been a great experience. All the staff is always so nice and food comes out pretty quick. Noise lever is perfect for a date night or even when out with friends. Highly recommend.

We decided to try this place again after a terrible experience a couple years ago. Back then the service was terrible and the food was very salty. So about tonight. We arrived and sat at our table for probably 10 to 15 minutes before our server came to the table. We ordered drinks and waited 15 minutes before they arrived and the ice was almost completely melted meaning they sat on the bar waiting to be brought to our table way too long. To make matters worse you could barely understand the server because of his poor English skills. Then the background music was so loud you could barely carry on a conversation without yelling. After almost an hour the server came to take our order. We then waited over an hour for the food to arrive and the server kept saying it was coming. When it came a few people at our table got their food and the rest of us waited at least 10 more minutes for ours to arrive. Mine came out wrong and I had to send it back. It was very hot today; almost 100 and the temperature in the small room we were in was very warm, almost hot even though there was a thermostat in the small room which should have been turned down. Others in our party ordered drinks and had to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes for their drinks to be delivered to the table. Bottom line. We were in this restaurant for three hours. Most had no salad or soup and just an entree and no desserts. It should not take that long to have a dinner. It also looked like a manager or maybe even the owner was present and did nothing to move the service along. We will never go to this restaurant again and will let people we know about the experience we had. It was, in a word, disgusting.

Three of us had lunch at Agio today and we’ll be going back! The food from the appetizers to desserts was delicious and my chicken parmigiana entree was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The staff was attentive, efficient, and kind. And the prices were extremely reasonable (believe me we’ve paid more for less). I highly recommend Agio!

Very Friendly owners and outstanding service. The ambience is inviting and the back patio is perfect on a hot summer day. The food was delicious and THE CARROT CAKE (which I’m not typically a fan of) is the not only the best cake I’ve ever had, but it may be the BEST desert I’ve ever had PERIOD. Thanks again for helping us celebrate, Agio!

This was our first visit there. The restaurant is beautifully decorated so we were hoping the food would be as good. The salads were wonderful, but our entrees were slightly disappointing. My husband ordered the pasta with seafood. The flavor was very good, but the shrimp was overcooked and chewy. The portion size was small for the price. I ordered the chicken vesuvio. I found it way too salty for my taste and did not finish the meal. We ordered desserts also that were delicious and would highly recommend. Triple chocolate layer cake, and creme Brule. We noticed the dining room was filled to capacity, so we decided we would try this restaurant again.

Service was awful. Went in around 2:30pm this past Friday. Place maybe had 5 tables occupied. Four of us sat at the bar. Watched an employee folding napkins and just completely ignoring us while he talked to an older lady also sitting at the bar. Must admit, we all enjoyed our meals but the service was so poor, we’ll never come back.

What an amazing family owned Italian restaurant. The wife and I have been trying to go here for many years but we’re never able to for one reason or another. The food was perfect and can’t wait to go back. Be sure to save room for dessert and be sure to get the Monster Carrot Cake…. honestly the best I’ve ever had.

The only spicy item on the menu was not spicy and was by far the worst food I have ever had in my life. It tasted like spray paint. It’s a shame cause I waited 3 years to go.
