About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
From the family that brought you Trattoria La Siciliana—a fixture of Berkeley’s Elmwood district for the past twenty years—Agrodolce is a sister restaurant located in the heart of Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto. We are housed in a beautiful brick building that is equipped with a full bar and outdoor seating. Serving authentic Sicilian food, the type you’d only expect to find in the alleys of Palermo, Agrodolce features unique and truly authentic food.

    A lovely, quaint Italian restaurant with an intimate ambiance. There is opportunity for improvement with regard to service, but the service is not horrible. The food is good. The bread & dipping oil, lasagna & tiramisu were all great values in terms of portion and taste. A recommended venue if you’re craving some good Italian food in a unique, clean setting.

    A truly ethnic experience. Right out of Inspector Montalbano. Come hungry and order all courses with abandon. Servers are attentive, and knowledgeable Left overs are the rewards from the visit. (Come si dice, se è buono, è buono freddo.)

    We may not have ordered the best things but generally the food seemed good. Some issues with slow service but all in all, we plan to return for a solid neighborhood option.

    Charming neighborhood Italian bistro with extensive seafood offerings and outstanding Italian and Sicilian wine selections. Sicilian recipes and local catch seafood is a wonderful pairing. Caponata was too sweet but my only complaint. Outdoor seating is nice.

    This was our first time here. Great for a larger group of 14. Food was delicious with great choices. Everyone was very accommodating throughout the night. Very enjoyable experience all around, and looking forward to coming back!

    Our food was fantastic. The restaurant is cozy and very European with its wood beam ceilings and bricks behind the bar. We did find the service a little slow and they had trouble managing the waiting throng at the door on a busy night. Yet it was all way worth it if you are patient and not in a rush. I will be back for the delicious food and ambience.
