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.

    The restaurant had a very nice cozy, yet super noisy and busy vibe on the Saturday evening we visited in February. We waited 10 minutes past our reservation and they gave us some wine while we waited. The service was a bit slow but they were super busy and packed. All the staff were sweating and overworked. The Frittura Mista, Meatballs, and Melanzane appetizers were great! Entrees: Ragù di Maiale 8/10 meat was excellent and pasta overcooked, Porchetta al Forno 8/10 tasty but a bit salty, Linguine Vongole 7/10 salty and a bit spicy, Spinach 7/10 too salty. Overall we will return and hopefully the food more on par what we expect it to be. Good value for the price and wonderful local restaurant.

Recent meal: Frittura Mista ; perfectly prepared, nicely seasoned and generous portiion Bucarini 'Chi Finucchiede: A classic sardine dish from Sicily, heavenly Norma: Great choice for our veggie Risotto Allo Scoglio: large portion, tender and flavorful Salmone Alla Griglia: Our salmon lover, who's had it world wide, including recently in Ireland says" I've never had better"! Servers were warm, pleasant and efficient. A must visit - will return again and again.

    Booked a 7:30pm Valentine’s Day dinner reservation. Showed up and had to stay in line for 45 mins till 8:15pm. Waited 20 mins before even being approached for drinks. Ordered dinner and a starter shortly after but by 9:30pm still had not received our starter or our meal. Even saw a couple walk out of the restaurant having finished their meal that was 4 couples behind us in the original line. Asked for to-go boxes and left at 9:40pm. The male waiter (possibly a manager) comped our meals and drinks and apologized, but also tried to make an excuse that other people had to wait awhile. No one should have to wait 2 hours until 9:40pm for a 7:30pm reservation before they get their meal served.

    We made reservations for a Valentine's Day dinner. On previous visits, we had always been seated indoors without any issue. When we arrived, we were informed the only seating was outside. We had no notice of this beforehand,. It was a cold night, we were not prepared to sit outside, and the heat lamps were not adequate as far as we were concerned. We left!

    I reserved and asked to be in the back room, we were seated instead right under a speaker in the front room. I took quite a while to get a waitress to order. When we did , it was pretty simple. However, when the dishes came out one entree was wrong. Three entrees came out. But mine was not what I had ordered leaned into myface and said this plate of creamy ravioli was what I ordered. I had ordered lasagna. She did not agree. So I took it home for my husband. Lesdon to wait staff, listen anf if an order is wrong replace it with out arguement. Wjile we live the food, not seating us where we requested, not giving me what I ordered list uou good business.
