A friend gave us a gift certificate to Agostino’s and what a great! I ordered the chicken piccata and my husband had the halibut and we shared eggplant Parmesan. Entrees are served with a good sized garden salad or soup and a side of pasta. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was excellent as waitstaff refilled water and cleared plates

What an amazing, hidden gem! Found Agostino's through Open Table reviews and we're so glad we did! The owner sat us himself and greeted us warmly. Our server was wonderful! She recommended lasagna, carbonara, and the homemade sausage; all of which did not disappoint. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. The minestrone soup, spumoni, and chocolate mousse (best I've ever had) were SO good! We are so glad to have found Agostino's and will certainly be back when we are in town.

We had a wonderful evening. Food was good, but limited because of Valentine’s. Food and service was good. No complaints, but maybe it was the night and the limited menu. Food was delicious, but not the best in the area. I would go back again.

Agostino's is consistent. The food is abundant and tasty. It rarely changes. The view is spectacular. Lately they have added events. We have participated in the cooking class--great fun. The music events are very good. This place is a Capo Beach fixture--our go-to for Italian food. Actually my husband probably would have given the food higher ratings than I did, just to be fair.

We arrived on Christmas Eve as a party of 4. In previous years we have celebrated Christmas Eve as a party of 6 or more. Our family was seated in a corner in the bar area. We were seated at 2 high top tables pushed together. We were told that you needed a larger party to be seated in a booth or table. In addition the service was slow and unable to serve us the correct order. Once our food finally arrived it wasn’t very tasty and it was cold. Needless to say we were very disappointed. We will not return.
