AGO Restaurant

The best octopus I’ve ever eaten. So tender and goes through a 48 hour process. Seafood risotto was very good although Would Like a few more seafood pieces. The spaghetti and meatballs was anything but ordinary; a very light, low acid sauce. Perfectly cooked. Pepperoni pizza was good, as expected. Nothing crazy. Great ambiance and service. Chocolate gelato sundae was really tasty too.

Fantastic. Everything. The octopus is by far the best octopus I’ve had in my lifetime. Lamb ragu, unbelievable. Even the calamari is on another level.

Well today had what so called "the pleasure" to dine in a restaurant co-owned by Robert De Niro which is why I selected it in the first place, however I hate to say it but the experience was not up to the expectation. First disappointment is that we had to wait at least 5 minutes to get the menu after being seated (at a time the restaurant was 90% empty). Second, which is the biggest disappointment is we had 3 dead flies in our vinegar bottle! (Attached picture to see). Third, For 2 person our bill was close to $100, now some might say it's a bit pricy however my focus is not that, it's that they didnt do a courtesy and instead they included 20% tip in the bill automatically. To be honest, I prefer to choose how much I want to tip especially after seeing the 3 dead flies Last, I know Robert De Niro owns a lot of businesses however i hope more attention is given as this kind of experiences hurts his name and image. Regarding the food, the taste was alright but the pizza was the star of the meal.

Awesome authentic Italian food and wine, great staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I had a lunch meeting here a week ago and enjoyed my dining experience. The complimentary bread is high quality and delicious. I ordered their grilled salmon and was satisfied as it was perfectly cooked. The outdoor seating area is nice but definitely too hot during LA's heatwave. I'd like to come here again to try their other dishes.

This is the very best Italian restaurant in LA in my opinion at so many levels; a cozy, entertaining bar, a cigar-friendly patio, a very fun and caring staff & management, and of course- fantastic pasta dishes and nightly amazing specials. I'm a many-year regular and have only had exceptional times here. I'm not alone in these feelings obviously- everyone LOVES this Ago!

Very nice place, it feels cozy due to low lighting at night. It can get crowded though. The food was amazing, went with my family so we shared a bunch of plates. I would recommend any seafood related dish. And yea, it is not very friendly to your wallet.

This restaurant owner is Robert De Niro. The manager was brilliant. Not a cheap restaurant as you can imagine. The food was impeccable and very good quality. The bar tender was superb give him a request and he can make the most amazing mix of cocktail with the taste you imagined. Unfortunately, I was too early for the celebs. Great place.
