Vago

As we always go there, the last time we made a reservation, we call back the day of to confirm everything though we reserved a few days back. Everything was fine they said 8:30 Saturday perfect. We confirmed the reservation 3 times after the initial call. We call back an hour before and we are told there is no reservation in that name, they cannot take us, it was a partner in the phone who was very rude, and at the end tells us he is very busy and hangs up. The ironic part was that the person on the phone restated the reservation phone call word by word. We were left wondering where to take the 6 guests we invited to the restaurant. Their excuse is that they took the reservation but did not write it down. Very rude and very reckless. We were regular customers a well. Horrible management.

My aunt has been going here for a very long time and it shows they respect her.
We had ordered a shiraz which one waiter said was very good, well it wasn’t and they kindly replaced it with another choice.
Food as usual was very good, the ladies had veal and I opted for pasta.

Great vibe at this restaurant ! Lots of vegetables, expertly done! I love salads and am rarely as happy and satisfied with portions and quality of ingredients as at Vago! Discrete, well versed in the art of service, the waiters are excellent ! Mangia!!!

This restaurant deserves some praise on several points: the décor, the ambiance, the staff, and even the restaurateur. However, the menu left a bit to be desired. While the food isn’t bad, it’s simply not classed as highly as the restaurant presents itself. In fact, several menu items are quite bland when compared to what should be contemporarily offered. Additionally, this undesirably highlights certain aspects (too heavy, too salty, clumpy cream sauce, etc.) — these should not be concerns for good Italian food, but at this place they can be. There’s no reason why this cannot be a five star establishment, but that can happen once they’ve considerably and appropriately ‘tweaked’ their menu.

This is a very good restaurant, especially good for business dinners, very good service, and the food is high in quality. Last night for dinner I had the tomato and bacon soup and a breaded chicken for the main which were both very good. I have been here before and has the seafood pasta which is amazing.

Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen in this city.
This one however, Is amazing.
The blueberry gnocchi is a great discovery.
I will definitely bring friends there.

Unilocalers! ~ another little place you’ve all missed out on … read on & go have a try!
Atmosphere: Just lovely ~ A family owed place about a decade or so into operation, Vago is a little hard to find on Greene Ave. It is located right across the street from the Oink Oink toy store (great place too!) … just look up to see it. It’s a mid to upscale type of restaurant, decked out almost totally in wood panelling. Very cozy, homely, and extremely well kept. You’ll love going there on a special date or inviting family or business associates for a meal. Vago also offers the opportunity to dine outside whenever the weather permits.
Service: Very impressed. The maître d’ (they have a maître d’) is well informed about the foods and offers advice, help, as well as accommodations whenever required. The staff is pleasant, well organized, and very polite. Professionalism is tops here.
Food: Top marks here as well. A generous, yet not over-​crowded menu, offers a variety of pasta and anti-​pasta dishes, rissoto as well as grilled steaks, chicken, and sea-​food offerings. An extensive wine list complements the menu and is sure to include vintages for most requests. I personally loved the fact that they also offer much of their pasta, risotto, and dessert dishes glutton free (call to confirm /​reserve this option first).
Classy, classy place — loved it the first and second time there. and many more to come.
It’s great to be back: O)
