Not sure how I haven’t been here before! No one I know talks about it, I’ve lived here almost 3 years and I’m sad I hadn’t been here before. Great service from the staff and delicious food! Was sad to see a small menu I assume due to Covid and lack of regular customers but I hope they go back to a full menu soon cause the bruschetta on everyone’s pics look delicious! I got a delicious glass of wine, the Pollo Marsala(I took a couple bits before I remembered to take a pic), and the spaghetti and meatballs. As good as the Marsala was the spaghetti actually was the star! It was the most flavorful spaghetti I have ever had. My friend got the cheese filled pasta(sorry forgot the name) and there was also super delicious! We ordered a cannoli at the end but it was alright. Not bad, but too much whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top and the filling could’ve been a tiny bit sweeter. Will definitely be back! It was sad to see it so empty with such delicious food. The people at the restaurant across the parking lot are missing out on this family restaurant at that mediocre chain restaurant. If you haven’t tried you must!

One of the most amazing food experiences my wife and I have ever had. The chicken marsala, the corbonaro pasta and the desserts transported us back to Italy. If you want authentic phenomenal Italian food, in the ambience of an elegant restaurant don't miss this experience

This is THE BEST (and most authentic) Italian food in the Metro East area! Go, have fun, and enjoy the meal. The food cannot be beat. I know, it always looks closed and it's hard to get people in there, but the food is great! The salmon, the steaks, the salad... everything we have ever had there has been absolutely delicious.

Dined in while traveling during thanksgiving with my boyfriend. We were late to our reservation, but they still stayed open for us. Wait staff was incredibly kind, incredibly attentive to detail. Food was amazing, just what we needed. We truly enjoyed our stop here and will definitely be returning when we travel to see family.

I’ve been here two times now and both time had absolutely outstanding service. We came in both times right around the time they would probably be closing, and normally most restaurants are pretty frustrated by that, but the owner and the server were so warm and welcoming. It’s almost like they treat strangers like family. The food has been incredible both times, everything from the appetizers, to the salad, to the main courses. I got lamb both times and my fiancé the spaghetti. Both superb. There’s not a lot of really nice restaurants without going to St. Louis, this one is worth checking out! Really cool old-school Italian vibe!

Service was great. Food was great, but on the pricey side for the missing 5th star. Great for a fancy date night or anniversary, but not for standard supper option.

Stopped here on a cross country trip and wanted something that wasn't a chain restaurant. Glad we stopped! The food was delicious. They were sorry staffed, but everyone was very friendly and attentive. The meatballs and cannelloni was delicious!

If i can give 4.75 stars i would, because of price. But, you get what you pay for. The food is excellent. Family run, very friendly and attentitive staff. Salmon Cognac Dill was absolutely superb--a myriad of flavors in the sauce. The best toasted ravioli in the St Louis area. Pretty good Apple Martini too. This is a gem of a place because it's never crowded (although it should be), and we have never had a wait to be seated, even on a Friday night. Go check this place out...you won't be dissapointed.

I like what I have ordered. Food and service are good. The place can be updated to match its pricing.

Sarah was our waitress and she was a pleasure! The food was very fresh, hot and delicious! We lived in Northern Italy for years and this is the REAL thing!!

Just ate at this location menu did nit have Manu options at all. Wait staff was amazing but the food was not good ended up getting an upset stomach after ordering shrimp Alfredo. Shrimp was not flavored at all and I am assuming it was undercooked. Ordered a whisky sour and it was lack luster at best...Do want to say it has a cool vibe and wait staff was amazing but the menu/ food was not on par and super over priced shrimp tasted like it was from a cup noodle.

What made everything fantastic was the experience itself. The waitress and servers assist were phenomenal turns out they were brand new . The owner was there helping, and it’s clear that his passion for great service transcends throughout the staff. The steps of service were well timed , and while I felt like my chicken wasn’t cooked enough ( personal tastes it was by no means raw) I asked the server to have the cook throw the chicken on the grill for a little longer and they actually made me a whole new dish . This was very appreciated. The spinach is phenomenal and the tiramisu is really good as well. Every place has its hiccups ?but Agostino’s is definitely worth trying. Small business with a present owner is a dieing breed and certainly hope Agostino’s will be around for a while .Also they are hiring , if your looking for a job it seems like a great place to work .

I was greeted by owner John Agostino and Cami the most amazing server a restaurant could ask for, seriously!! John’s wife Francesca is the pastry chef and her tiramisu is to die for. Mama Rosa runs the kitchen as any good Italian Nonna would and the Canneloni and small salad were perfect! And yes, they carry Grappa, the perfect “digestivo” on the planet! Overall an amazing experience, if you are planning an romantic night out this is a wonderful place to enjoy or celebrate a special occasion. I’ll be back! And home is a 10 hour drive away….
