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.

Diners rave about the warm ambiance and well-prepared dishes, such as "heavenly" Bucarini and "delicious" lamb shank.

    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.

    We've always loved the food at Agrodolce and we were excited when the brought dishes onto their menu when their restaurant on College closed. The service is great and the the ambiance is fitting for a very traditional Italian restaurant. Our only issue is the noise level inside. The two Berkeley Restaurant Week menu selections were both great. One featured seafood and the other featured meat. Both had plenty of vege dishes. We had leftovers that fed us a second dinner. Visit Agrodolce and you will not be disappointed.

    Great menu and service, food always arrives at your table right from the kitchen at the perfect temperature for each dish. Never had a bad experience at Agrodolce!

    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.
