Ristorante Agostino

There's more to this restaurant than meets the eye. Located several miles outside of downtown, not only is it a local eatery, but it's a destination restaurant. The restaurant is huge, despite its small visage. The menu is also huge. Everything you could ever wish for in an Italian menu. I went with my family. We had 3 entrees between the four of us and not only was everything delicious, but we couldn't finish it all. The portions are huge! I highly recommend the Zupe de Pesce. You can split the order for one. It's the size of 2 huge portions (which is why it's so expensive). Strongly recommend this restaurant. Nice service as well.

LOL, just noticed this reply.  And I remember it like yesterday.  
Think your missing the point.  He didn't tell us it was EXPENSIVE when we ordered it, we found out the price when we got the bill.  Then we got the snooty, "IT'S EXPENSIVE" when we inquired about the high price.
21.95 for buff motz for an appetizer(?)  If the norm for that is 8.00 - 14.00 wouldn't you admit it would BE NICE to let your customer know the high price.  It's obvious what happened he
Want a good, really good, gourmet Italian meal with fair prices and never being ripped off, go to ZIA'S in Edison Park, you'll LOVE IT!

I used to LOVE this place...I would even drag clients from downtown over here because it was a great restaurant, authentic Italian...and that round corner hidey hole booth was awesome!

That was probably ten years ago.  I still loved this place for many more years, but I hadn't been there lately.  I'm not sure if they changed owners or what the story is, but we got seated in what looked like a banquet hall...I didn't even know that room existed before that.  The whole dynamic of the place in the banquet hall thing sucked.  And we got pretty much ignored as the waitstaff fondled a table of eleven (probably thinking bigger tips).  The hostess/manager apologized several times (and she did it nicely) as I had to keep coming up and asking her if someone was going to wait our table of two....or ask us if we wanted another drink....or dessert....*sigh*

Agostino, I loved you!  I miss you!  But I have to find somewhere else that will actually pay attention to me AND have good food and atmosphere.  This place used to ROCK.  I'm sad.
