Ristorante Agostino

Fine Italian Dining in Chicago

Since 1985…

Italian natives Anna Longobardi Fiasche and Agostino Fiasche have been blessing our palates with authentic Italian cuisine ever since the opening of the celebrated Ristorante Agostino in 1985. Known for its traditional Italian menu, the home style cooking and generous serving portions provides guests with an inviting and cultural atmosphere and leaves them full and satisfied. The menu is regionally influenced and the focus on fresh seafood comes from the chefs’ Neapolitan and Calabrian decent. On any night of the week, guests will find Anna and Agostino, themselves, cooking in the kitchen to cater to all of the guests’ desires

Dinner at Agostino’s bears the very picture of a memorable meal like one would have at Nonna’s on Sunday or a quaint trattoria in Italy. Each dish is made from scratch; quality and consistency being the main ingredient. Here at Ristorante Agostino we use imported Italian products and buy only the freshest and highest quality food products available in the market. Our specialties change daily ranging from imported mozzarella di bufala to whole American Snappers fileted table side to traditional tender veal dishes or stuffed eggplant baked in tomato basil sauce. In addition to our exquisite menu, we offer a full bar and an ample list of Italian and American wines. In this true Italian- American tradition we pride ourselves on quality and abundance, but most of all we take pleasure in customer satisfaction at the end of each meal.

Ristorante Agostino has Closed


When we migrated from Italy to start a new life in America, little did we know we would own a successful restaurant together with our family, cook for thousands of people and meet so many wonderful clientele and staff, we would call friends. We are disheartened to announce that we will be closing our doors and announcing our retirement Today, August 1st after 38 years of grueling and gratifying service at our restaurant, our second home away from home.
We can all relate and say that the pandemic was hard and our kitchen fire was shocking but throughout it all, you stuck with us and for that, we are so grateful!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and bellies! Your presence and patronage have been the soul and beating heart of Agostino’s. You helped bring our vision to life and we have so enjoyed being part of yours.
We had the benefit of hosting your cherished occasions and milestone celebrations. We got the pleasure of sharing laughs, wine and cocktails with you! We had the best time with you!
It’s a bittersweet ending after all these years in business and we can proudly say one helluva an adventure. At this moment, there are not enough words or sentiments to express our gratitude and convey our experience through it all.
With love, Anna and Agostino
