Agrodolce
our comments
If you fear that the ’burbs don’t need one more Italian restaurant, you’d have to agree that Agrodolce is a very welcome addition to the pizza routine. Not only has the owner put both thought and creativity into the décor and design, he’s also smartened up the menu to capture the gastronomes in the crowd. Sure, you’ll find le pizze, but these pies bear such names as calabrese with Italian sausages and stewed peppers, or rocket with a garlic-crusted base topped with arugula on a white pizza. Antipasti and salads, pastas and risottos all benefit from the same touch of ingenuity. We would go back right away for the tagliatelle alla Milanese, which is a heap of pasta embellished with grilled chicken and sun-dried tomatoes or the heaping portion of mostaccioli al forno, a blend of ricotta cheese and meat sauce smothering penne pasta. The chef slips up with the salads, which need a shot of flavor, but he makes up for any mistakes with the sensational cannoli, filled with a chocolate and a vanilla cream.- April 2005

Absolutely the worst dining experience of my entire life. Took 1 hour, 50 minutes to get served after placing our orders. We continually had to track down waitress who disappeard. She offered no explanation for the wait, did not offer to see whey it was taking so long, nor did she apologize. She finally got tired of us actually expecting to be served so she passed us off to another waitress who was no better. Three requests to speak to a manager were ignored. I wrote a letter to the owner which was - big surprise - also ignored. While the food was actually pretty good, I would NEVER return to Agrodolce. An apology and offer of something as simple as a free cup of coffee for our trouble would have gone a long way. The obviously have no right being in a service business.
