Agostinis - Canberra

Headed here for a birthday dinner, we had a 1 meter pizza with 3 different toppings, it was great, their salads and desserts are amazing too, a bit pricey but amazing food, defi itely worth it.

Asked at reception of the hotel where to eat that evening and Andrea the Chef was there, he recommended Agostinis and he didn't let us down. We had a

I came here today with some friends for my birthday and the food was very good and our waiter was very informative and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant and our wait staff was great, even so much so as tending to our three year old. He was fantastic. The only thing that was distinctively upsetting after such an incredible evening was that my husband approached another woman who worked there for the bill and she very overtly just rolled her eyes and then ignored him. It was so obvious and strange and in stark contrast to the service we had earlier received. I gently asked her about it as she was then standing next to our waiter at the till and she was abrupt and rude and claimed she hadn't even seen my husband when everyone at our table had witnessed it. Perhaps it was a bad night for her. But it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth despite all the beautiful food. If you can avoid this type of situation, then I would recommend the restaurant, but as it was my birthday and a special night out for an otherwise at home mum, I will definitely not be returning in hurry. Perhaps take away is advised.

The restaurant is large and open, which is the first sign of 'good for groups'. The menu has a good selection of pastas and (especially) pizzas but is otherwise quite restricted. I have eaten here a few times and the food is well cooked to a good standard, although I found the calzone a bit strange. Pastas probably the best but a bit small to have as a single dish. While delivery of meals was quick, the wait staff are not experienced enough to enhance the experience. .
