The bread was soft, the beef tender, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!“

The ordering process was simple, they had the food ready in individual boxed lunches, and the customer service was excellent. Everyone was excited about the sandwiches and I will for sure be ordering for more work lunches from them. Highly recommend!“

“We stumbled upon Agrigento by Style Pizzeria Café just a few months ago after relocating back to Manatee County from a brief season in Nevada—and let me tell you, this little gem has become our new happy place! As a single mom raising three growing boys, finding a spot that satisfies everyone is no small feat. But Agrigento delivers—literally and figuratively. The pizza is next-level, with that perfect blend of crispy crust and gooey cheese that tastes like it was hand-crafted in a Sicilian kitchen. And don’t even get me started on the garlic knots… These are not your average knots. These are oversized pillows of buttery, garlicky heaven—I swear they were kneaded by angels. The house salad with that signature Italian dressing? A masterpiece. And speaking of masterpieces, let’s raise a glass of their smooth and sultry Montepulciano—a rare treat to find as a house wine in a casual café! Add in some authentic cannolis or a slice of limoncello cake, and you’ve got yourself the perfect ending to any meal. My personal favorite? The eggplant Parmesan garlic knot slider—the kind of creation that deserves its own Food Network spotlight. They even have a daily $10 lunch special with two slices and a drink, which is an absolute steal. And while you eat, you’re serenaded by music videos from the 80s and 90s—pure joy for this Gen Z momma with an old soul! Tucked away in a humble strip plaza on Manatee Avenue near our pediatrician’s office, this place is so good I might start hoping the kids catch a mild cold just so I don’t forget to stop by again. Agrigento, you’ve won our hearts (and stomachs). See you again soon—and often!“

“The food was delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive! Definitely recommend!“

“Great variety of good food and nice atmosphere ♥️“

“I have always loved going to this location. We have only ever had maybe one or two bad visits but the next one always makes up for it. Trinity was an amazing waitress today. She was so attentive. Even the manager came around twice to us to check on us.“

“Someone needs to give the manager and his staff a raise. They are some of the most kind, attentive food service workers I have encountered in quite some time. You don't even have to love Panera's food to enjoy your time at this location.“
