Agostino's Ristorante

There used to be many quality independent Italian restaurants to choose from, now it is so much more difficult. Luckily Agostinos survives. This place is the real deal, a little old school, but in a really good way. Great traditional Italian dishes, friendly professional service, reasonably priced for the high quality. We had a couple of the specials and they were excellent. The soup was good and the portions were large. The place is bigger inside than you think with a small banquet room (50 people?) and bar opposite the dining room. Passed the kitchen and it was very clean and organized. I can't really boast of the decor and atmosphere. I would call it functionally pleasant. It can get loud, even when not full of people. I called for a Saturday night reservation, but wouldn’t have needed one on that night. They have parking. Highly recommended.

~Excellent food. From the warm rustic bread to the minestrone soup to the Red Snapper special, the flavors were all great. Both pasts were extremely good tasting as well. ~Atmosphere. The large dining room has extremely white lights (like you’d have in an office). A softer light would be better ~Parking. Difficult. Their parking lot is very tight. I recommend parking on Harlem Avenue ~Attire. Very casual. ~Bottom Line: Really great food in a relaxed environment
