    Pretty sure Agio was short staffed on the day of our visit. The service was abominable very slow. Getting a refill on water took two requests. Ordered dessert and had to ask twice when it might arrive.same was true of a glass of wine. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and it was under cooked, not Al dente, undercooked.

    Martinis and food are decent. I hate when restaurants treat their last reservations of the night so poorly by shutting off the music and lights and cleaning WHILE the last table is still dining! It’s rude!!! Cut your reservation times off earlier so you no longer treat your hardworking, paying customers this way! I’m disappointed.

    We live about 3 miles from Agio. We now understand it has been in business at this location for about 15 years, but we had never been here before. A surprise. The location is in a strip mall next to a well-known donut shop. But, step inside and - surprise! You feel like you are in a downtown Chicago restaurant. Really lovely. The service was outstanding. The wine list is very good. The menu is varied, with some very interesting choices. The food was very well prepared and beautifully presented (we had the antipasto appetizer and, respectively, had duck and steak as our main course). A very enjoyable experience. We will be back!

    We really felt like we got a good value for Valentine’s Day. The portion sizes were just right to where we were not overstuffed, and food was delicious. Great service even though they were busy. Thank you Agio! We’ll be back. :)

    Good food. Excellent service. Due to a traffic jam, we were 1 hour late for our Valentine Day dinner. They still honored the reservation and sat us right away. Thank you!!
