    We had a wonderful dinner at Agio in Palatine last night with friends. For my wife and I it was our second trip to Agio and for our friends their first visit. An excellent dinner from Briana our server from her initial welcome and comments, to her wine suggestion, our salads, entrees 👍(risotto w/ Gorgonzola , a veal entree & braised beef ) and finally the superb desserts we shared. ( Tiramisu & Chef’s three sampler). Aesthetics were perfect for a charming dinner experience!
