[Ago - Restaurant Review
This Italian restaurant offers the comforts and atmosphere of Florence. The courtyard dining room hosts a trellis that dims the light that streams down, but still lights up the room without a problem during the day, and is candlelit by night for a hint of romance. Lush orchid vines hang above the tables to illustrate the restaurant’s emphasis on wine which is featured at the bar that can be located in the main dining room. Along with ah large selection of wine, the menu is a poutporri of flavors from the different sects of Italy. Off-the-menu items are available as well for more ‘American’ flavors.
