Agliolio Italian Bistro & Bar

Good place, good value. Fried Mozzarella appetizer, Chicken Marsala /​Penne, house salad and garlic bread, pasta nice, fresh and light. Solid meal without feeling bloated. Definitely will go again. Good selection

Four of us went to the restaurant this evening and received terrible service by James. He was very inattentive and the restaurant was not that busy. He did not ask to refill our drinks. And we had to keep hunting him down every time we needed something from him. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo the sauce was like soup. I had to get the manager because I could not get a hold of the James the waiter. The manager Bonnie tried very hard to make things right. This is not the first time that we have received bad service. We will not be going back.

Have only been to the Boynton Beach location. A great selection of homemade pastas cooked al dente. There are about fifteen homemade sauces. All entrees come with pasta, house salad, and delicious garlic bread. They also have personal pizza. Free veggies can be added to all pastas and pizzas. A nice casual tasty restaurant.

I’m so torn because I want to give this place 3 stars, but the thing is, they served me a piece of (probably) previously frozen and then undercooked salmon, and my stomach was really upset for the rest of the day. I don’t think this is their regular MO and I’m sure the chef didn’t intend for it to happen but it is what happened. I realized the problem after one bite into the raw part and stopped eating, and when I took the leftovers home and cooked them all the way through they were fine, but if you’re thawing meat you have to be really careful.
Otherwise, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. There are some basic entrees, but the real draw is the incredibly stupidly named, but still quite tasty, «Pasta-​bilities,» which allow you pick the type of paste (I chose gluten free), the type of sauce (I chose pesto), and as many vegetable as you want mixed in (I choose sun dried tomatoes, spinach, something I can’t remember, and artichokes, which were GREAT because you never get artichokes that are cut up and aren’t marinated in too much vinegar and oil, but these artichokes weren’t marinated). You can also do the same thing with the toppings on your pizza. They don’t skimp at all.
They serve a large salad, family style. It was really, really, really overdressed to my taste, but was decent.
Ambiance is screaming loud family restaurant. Service was friendly and at a reasonable pace.

Never had a bad meal here and have tried just about everything, sorry that Eric couldn’t figure out the menu, but they usually ask you if you’re new to the place, and if not, they let you select. He should have just ordered the pizza for his girls. If he’s not familiar with fresh made pasta, then he should have ordered the pizza as well. Glad he won’t be back, crowded enough during season. Going again tonight.

We wanted this restaurant to be so good, since there aren’t many that boast they make their own pasta. The salad was soggy and the gnocchi and marinara was less than appetizing. I remember the waitress returning to our table maybe once. I hate to write a bad review, but this restaurant is just bad.

I am a regular here and whenever I go the service, food, and drinks are all top notch. It is always clean, service and staff are friendly and the food is all homemade. The pasta is excellent and they give a lot of choices. Even people from New York say that this restaurant compares to Little Italy. A++!!

This place is a hidden gem in Boynton Beach. Fantastic classic Italian food as well as excellent salads and lighter fare options. The ambiance is on point and feels very open so you don’t feel as crowded as you can in smaller mom and pop types of restaurants.

We went during prime dinner hour on Sunday & it’s full of energy & great for large groups! our server was very attentive… our order was delivered wrong but was kitchens fault… think they were in the weeds! It was yummy though… Caesar dressing had perfect amount of anchovy & my pasta was perfectly al dente… happy I tried this place but don’t think I would ever go back

I usually don’t take the time to leave a review to the places we visit unless they are great or HORRIBLE. To wrap it in a nut shell, guess where this felt under… Yes horrible! HORRIBLE service and BELOW AVERAGE food.
Quick description, the server was young kid that was acting like a smart ass. If you know the menu so well then be a better salesman. A server is all about what can they sell to you so, the more you sell the better tip you gets and the only way to do that is to explain you clients (US) wtf your menu is about. Ok, so let’s set aside that he didn’t explain crap what the menu was about, we asked what did the kids meal brought and if they were small or medium portions. His smart answer was «oh they are kids meal, kids portion.» Forgot to mention the age and size of the kids. They were huge but ok that’s fine. We ordered penne with meatballs for our girls. That pasta was hard and tasteless, the meatballs tasted like what dog food would taste like. But wait he forgot our appetizer! Great job buddy, when people are hungry they don’t want salad they want carbs in their belly that means my appetizer!!! My wife ordered grilled shrimps and fettuccine Alfredo. Her plate was smaller than our kids plate!!! And there were only 5 shrimps!!! 5 shrimps! Wtf is that!!! I ordered veal parm and that was like blah nothing to be wowed about. The pasta for my food was horrible.
Here is my advise for you, don’t pay attention to whom cannot differentiate between good authentic food and below average crap.

Tried for the first time for lunch this week. We were met with a smiling face and the. Amazing garlic bread.
Lunch was excellent as well and the prices are reasonable.
Will definitely go back again.

I’ve been coming to Agliolio for a little over a year now. I’ve only been here for lunch as my office is nearby.
It is housed in a wide open space and it is spotless inside which is a huge plus. They make their own macaroni in house. While I’m sure most people love it when restaurants do that I differ. I’m a purist and my macaroni must, must, must come from Italy!!! Having said that they do a great job here making it.
The concept is simple and straight forward here. You choose your macaroni, followed by a sauce and finally you may top it off with a protein if you’d like. One thing that I love here is that they can make any of the sauces spicy for you. Man there is nothing better than a spicy sauce.
As previously mentioned I’ve only been here for lunch and they do have some great lunch specials. Probably the best in the area to be honest. They run any where from $ 8.00-$ 12.00. I usually get a macaroni dish with a fra diavolo sauce extra spicy. The sauce is thick and hearty. There is a very small amount of sauce left at the bottom of the plate when you’re finished, which is how it should be. The macaroni is usually very firm which is how I like it.
You do get a house salad and garlic bread with your order. I’m not a salad guy at all as it is too healthy for my liking, however, I always eat the salad here. It is always freshly made and dressed. I give them a lot credit here for taking that approach as most places would have the salad pre made. Now onto the garlic bread. It is sooooo good. It is slightly crunchy and the oil and garlic just drip down your chin as you eat it! I always ask for a second order of it as I love it. I usually use the second order of the bread for fare la scarpetta. Which means to dip it in the sauce at the bottom of the macaroni plate. This is a huge sin to Italians, however, you do have to make an exception every now and then right?
I’ve never had dessert here so I can’t speak to that. I would imagine that it is good though. The service is always consistent here. Kate, Kyle and Rodrigo are fantastic and they always take good care of you.
While I consider this to be Guido or Luigi Italian (lack of cream sauces), it is very good. Don’t waste your precious time at any other Italian restaurant in Boynton Beach. This is by far the best one in the area and that’s why I’m a fan.

One of the best kept secrets in palm beach county! I am so sad I just recently discovered this restaurant because the food is absolutely amazing! We have been twice now and will continue to come here. The service is very good, very fast and warm family environment. All meals come with a salad and your choice of about 10 homemade pastas to choose from with a sauce and added veggies as well! Everything is fresh, pasta is cooked perfectly al dente and you can taste the freshness and the love in this food. The eggplant rollatini, shrimp Parm, chicken francese, everything is so perfect! Their veal is so soft and tender to the bite! I highly recommend this place and I will be back as much as I can!

Dined in for lunch with a group of friends and we loved it! Everyone enjoyed their meals, the prices were just right for lunch and our server, Kyle was excellent. While the lunch menu appears to be short (one sided menu), the choices are filling and the right size for midday meals.
I ordered the eggplant rollatini with the pasta-​bility bowl of linguine and alfredo sauce and it was really, really good! Around the table, there were conversations about just how good the Momma’s salad was and how happy we were with the bread dipped in olive oil. Whether the chicken or the eggplant it all looked and tasted great!
One of my friends tried the pink sauce which is a combination of cream sauce and red sauce and it was delicious (yay for samples of her food)!!
While we didn’t get to try the desserts as we were too full, the chocolate lasagna sounds heavenly and based on the food, I’m sure it will be awesome!
I highly recommend checking out their lunch menu when you are in the Boynton Beach area and can’t wait to dine in for dinner soon.

The food was very very good. The wait service was delightful. I really enjoyed the chicken marsala and their meat sauce. The restaurant went above and beyond what they needed to do in this following scenerio. My cousin fell outside the restaurant tripping over a bench. He needed to go to the hospital for stitches. The manager paid for whole check plus 2 takeout orders for my cousin and his sister, who went to hospital with him
I will be back and I recommend this restaurant highly.

When our babysitter told us that she was free on New Year’s Eve, we decided to go out at the last minute and hit this beautiful Italian restaurant up spontaneously for dinner. My husband and I couldn’t have made a better decision and we can’t wait to go back to try some other menu items they have to offer.
We walked through the crowd of people waiting outside and asked how long the wait would be holding our breath. The hostess said there was sitting at the bar or at a high top table available for us if we didn’t want to wait. We opted for the bar seating. Yes to no wait on NYE! Woop woop! Our bartender greeted us with a smile and asked us if we wanted to start off with some water while deciding on a cocktail or wine. I settled for a refreshing white zinfandel while my love got a craft beer.
The whole entire menu looked delicious and I honestly would have got everything if I didn’t have a waistline to consider. The «bility» selections are fairly reasonable for the portions and price that are given for it. Both of our meals came with a bowl of house salad and bread for sharing. Chris got a pizza-​bility with pepperoni and onions while I got the pasta-​bility of chicken parmesan and fettuccine pasta with the house made Agliolio sauce. I was in love with how delicious my meal was and completely in heaven over the sauce. It consisted of olive oil and roasted garlic with a mix of tomatoes. Mmmm.
The dinner left us nice and full, but my husband insisted on getting the tiramisu for dessert. It’s a must for every Italian restaurant to attend because we simply compare with the prior ones we’ve had before. The lightly soaked dessert was flavored with a nice espresso with a fluffy whipped mascarpone cream. I can’t say it was one of the best that I’ve ever had, but it’s pretty close. There wasn’t a bite left behind on the plate before we left, so the chef must have done something right.
I can’t say enough about the service and the atmosphere the restaurant brings. It was cozy and welcoming the moment we stepped in until the last step we took out. The staff was excellent with making sure we enjoyed our meal during our visit. The food was fresh and simply scrumptious. I’m simply drooling over here wanting to go back to have another delicious meal without having to go to Italy. Bön appetit!

My new favorite restaurant for SURE. Had the breaded chicken breast with angel hair pasta and alfredo sauce. For dessert we had the chocolate lasagna and took some zeppole to go. It was all fresh and absolutely delicious! Our waiter was an absolute sweetheart and the restaurant itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Perfect place for a little date night. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ in all areas.

I don’t know how I have not reviewed my local favorite Italian spot yet… This is hands down the best Italian you will get in Palm Beach County… The service is great the ambience is average but the food is the true showcase here… All the pasta is handmade wit lots of different styles and flavors to choose from as well as lots of different sauces… I always get the Spinach Roasted Garlic Linguini with the Pink sauce and then I add roasted garlic it is so damn good I usually clean my plate… I can’t say enough good things about this place they really are a local Boynton Beach treasure and the food and service are top notch…

Disppointing. I came in for a late lunch/​early dinner. I came in because it was one of the higher rated establishments in the area; and after passing it several times, I wanted to give it a try.
I started off with Momma’s Meatballs w/​Ricotta. It was recommended, and there was a special for it. The ricotta was the best part of the appetizer. If it had been room temperature, it would have been perfect. The meatballs were moist, but needed something extra to pick them up. It could have been some salt, or maybe another meat to mix with the ground beef. It just wasn’t as good as I thought a «Momma» would make. Maybe had it been Mamma’s (like a real Italian), it coulda had that extra pizzazz.
Speaking of pizzazz, stay away from the refigerated salad. I’ve had better at Red Lobster. A redeeming point to the salad was the crostini given with the meal.
On to the main course. I don’t know if it was the lunch portion, or what, but absolute letdown. It’s pasta. I’m not here to watch my carbs. I tried it with the Agliolio sauce — oil and large cloves of garlic. No flavor. The grilled chicken was dried to the consistency of chewy bacon. On the bottom of the plate was a massive pool of oil. Just an odd experience. I could imagine Gordon Ramsey shouting an expletive when he saw something like that.
The service was very good, but the experience left a lot to be desired. Fresh maybe, but not flavorful. Others might disagree; and it could be just when I ordered, but I can’t say I’d go back.

DON’T GO TO CHAIN RESTAURANTS — Try this Delicious, fresh, locally owned restaurant!
The prices are good, the food is super, the atmosphere is wonderful and the service is extremely good. The staff is genuine and wants to make sure that you are happy. This is a pasta lover’s dream. No more reasons to go to chain restaurants when you have this place here!
