⭐ 5/5 We first tried Agostinis via Uber Eats when we visited Canberra in October 2024. Despite the delivery taking longer than expected and the food arriving cold (no fault of Agostinis), the food was still amazing. The pizza, patate fritti (fries), and tiramisu were all fantastic. We knew we had to return. On this trip (January 2025), we always planned to dine in for dinner but on our first night we were too tired and decided to order Uber Eats again. Unfortunately, the driver only delivered the fries and didn’t bring the pizzas. He kindly went back to pick them up and I contacted Agostinis to let them know. Marco, one of the managers, was incredibly accommodating and even offered to make fresh pizzas for us. Such great customer service! When we finally dined in, the experience did not disappoint. The food quality, presentation, and overall service were excellent. We were seated in a cozy booth at the back of the restaurant which was lovely and intimate but did not get much staff traffic so service was a little slower. That said, the team was friendly and attentive when they did come around. The only minor feedback is that while the pasta itself was slightly under seasoned, the flavours of the dishes were still great and adding parmigiano brought out the taste even more. The only real letdown was the grilled octopus salad as the octopus was way overcooked and had a mushy texture which I did mention to one of the waiters. we can only suspect this was just a one off and not the norm. Overall, we loved our meals and desserts. We probably over-ordered as we wanted to try as much as possible. The menu is fantastic and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Before heading back to Sydney, I even went back to thank Marco personally and grabbed one last takeaway snack and dessert. We will definitely return to Agostinis every time we visit Canberra. Highly recommend!
