About this business
When a restaurant is co-owned by celeb-chef Agostino Sciandri and Hollywood heavyweights such as Robert De Niro and Ridley Scott, you know it is exclusive. Ago is an Italian trattoria straight out of the book—wooden furniture, a terracotta floor, and cypress trees recreate the magic of the Mediterranean, while the menu boasts of such lip-smacking fare as chicken cooked in herbs, baby rack of lamb with roast potatoes, and whitefish with spinach and sautéed artichoke. The wine-list is impeccable, the ambiance unbe... read more

Great Graduation Celebration Spot – Went to celebrate our cousin's graduation from high school for lunch and found Ago to be the perfect place! Great for groups. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in picking our food. The ambiance was great-out on the patio in perfect summer weather. The food arrived hot, fresh and full of flavor. Would recommend Ago for an intimate evening for two or a group celebration (seems that some of the complaints about service could be related to regular Friday or Saturday night rush... read more
Pleasantly Surprised with a great experience – A friend made a reservation for us to dine at AGO. After reading the reviews I was a little concerned. It appears that it does not receive great reviews. I myself had a great experience. We entered the restaurant and were greated with a smile from the hostess. We were promptly seated at our table(It was 7:30 on a Tuesday). The restaurant was very busy. The waiter was very friendly and had a great Italian accent. The appetizers were very good. I ordered gnocchi although ravioli w... read more
Incredibly Dissapointing – Sadly, some of the worst serice i've ever had in los angeles. For a restaurant with those kind of prices and that ambiance, it was incredibly dissapointing. Service was indifferent, inattentive and when anyone actually stoped at the table they were simply rude.
Expect LONG waits even if you have a reservation! – Long waits to sit down even if you have a reservation. OK, here's how it works at AGO. You make a reservation and you show up on time. They tell you to grab a drink at the bar while your table is coming up. In the meantime, the regular customers (that look like the m a f i a) come in, tip the guy at the front and go straight to the first table eventhough they don't have a reservation. Our reservation was at 8pm. They sat us down at 9:30 pm. The staff is quite rude as well. ... read more
GO HERE GO HERE GO HERE!!! – Heard good things and Ago is around the corner from where we live, so we gave it a try. Service was exceptional and the food was even better. I had the vegetable risotto and my fiance had the filet mignon and we split a pizza for an appetizer. The drinks were very good too. I highly suggest dining at Ago if you have a chance.
Great Hideaway – Awesome food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Celeb spotting. Make a resesrvation.
Nice Place – Not much of an italian fan, but Ago is an exception. I love their seafood pasts.. cooked just right. The wait staff is very courteous... even take down special requests with food.. =) Their octopus ink risotto, which is off the menu, can be requested... it's amazing..=)
Okay food, terrible service – When we got to Ago, it was fairly empty. We had requested a table on the patio, but they tried to seat us inside. When we argued, the host went on about how outside is really a cigar smoking section. Finally, he seated us outside - we didn't see a cigar the entire time. The waiter was very distracted and when he listed the specials, he said, "we can make risotto with truffles or chanterelles." I ordered the risotto with truffles. I know from expereince that truffles are expensive, and truffle ri... read more
Great Atmoshpere – I liked this restaurant for its ambience. It's great for people watching, and if you get star struck, then you will definitely do so at this restaurant. The food is good, and the service is always fair. The best thing about this restaurant is the atmosphere, and the people watching.
