Aggio Ashburn

I booked a work dinner for 9 people, including my boss, only to show up and have the restaurant closed. It was extremely frustrating and embarrassing. I would advise anyone considering this restaurant to confirm by phone. Better yet, take your business elsewhere.

I was there on a quiet night, sat at the kitchen counter, and had an absolutely amazing time. The food is familiar (e.g. melons and prosciutto) but with twists that elevate the experience (e.g. melons compressed and then soaked in the juice to create more flavor). It was a destination night for me during a business trip and I plan to go back when I'm next in town.

I took my boss, his boss and several other colleagues to Aggio in Ashburn tonight and spent close to $800. If you’re going to accept my reservation for 10 people, please staff your restaurant to actually serve us. Despite being nearly empty, it took 45 minutes to get a first round of drinks. 20 minutes to take the order, 15 more for a hostess/waitress to start making them (because they didn’t want to pay a bartender I guess) and another 10 to make them. Then, at the same time the cocktails came, our appetizers came which is not how we or anyone likes to enjoy our evening. Nobody who knew how to run a restaurant was on duty and it showed. And no espresso in an Italian restaurant? For shame. Though it may just be that with no staff, nobody knew how to work the machine. Even though the service delays pretty much ruined my evening and made me look bad in front of my boss, I will say the food was pretty good so I’m guessing when the restaurant is staffed to actually provide service to its guests, it may be an overall good experience.

My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We loved the relaxed, quiet and comfortable atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. The food, drinks and service were great. The waitress was attentive to our needs and knew the menu inside/out as she was able to describe the different Italian dishes. The lasagna and crab risotto are amazing and tasty. The prices are comparable to the area depending what you order. We will definitely be back to try the other Italian dishes and happy hour.

First time at Aggio. Read reviews and tried the lasgane..was really outstanding. Other dishes OK and service was average.
